Yep. Most of the time online you won’t convince the person you’re arguing against, BUT to convince people reading the thread. For the most part, arguing online is performative, for the purpose of the audience rather than the participants.
The connect app allows you to block instances. Not the same as defeding obviously, but it helps.
True, for me it also depends on how the Burger is constructed. Often the lettuce is put on the bottom, I want to get straight to the meat and not have the taste masked by lettuce. But it depends on the burger.
Pretty much bang on, the RBA has essentially one tool at their disposal. Even if their decisions are perfect, poor fiscal policy will damage the economy and the RBA can at most put a bandaid on those wounds.
This is what annoys me, a lot of these replies act like there’s a hidden agenda to everything. Saying things like, “They must support white supremacy! It’s a racist dog whistle! They’re a Trump supporter”. Their assessments never have any nuance whatsoever: if you put that on your car, you’re all of the above.
That’s the whole point of a dog whistle, to hide the true meaning behind innocuous symbols and phrases. And if you’re someone who would be targeted by the hate groups using these dog whistles, it pays to be aware of them.
You’re right, there should be nuance, because there are people who use these symbols without it being a dog whistle. But to dismiss any concerns is dangerous, and exactly what the hate groups want.
My pick for the XI:
Sub in Agar and Hazelwood for Maxwell and Cummins until they’re available. Maybe Stoinis over Green.
honestly i’ve delt with more people who refuse to change anything because “what’s the point” than I deal with outright deniers anymore.
But most of the people who express that opinion aren’t saying it because they think that climate change is unstoppable.
They are saying it because the changes that we know can help fight climate change, that we’ve known about for years, that international leaders can implement, aren’t being done.
And this statement, from someone with a lot influence on global carbon emissions than the average person, seems very out of touch. He is telling off the people whose house is burning down, while ignoring the arsonists.
I agree that we definitely need more supply, but there are a few things that could happen as prices increase, eg people downsizing from large places to smaller places, and people sharing accommodation.
Also, hopefully some people will sell their Air BnBs, increasing the property on the market, they’ll probably become Air BnBs again, but maybe it will help with prices.
Again, more supply is needed, and rich investors will probably have a field day, but even if prices don’t drop, they should at least stop sky-rocketing.
Agreed, the main reason I use still use Facebook is that it is home to largest communities for by hobbies. The subreddits for those hobbies were practically graveyards and on lemmy it is no better.
Of course, this doesn’t mean it can’t change, but for some things other communities are better right now.
This is what happens when you try too hard to minimise costs, because extra signal staff aren’t need 99% of the time, they don’t have any to save costs, but the 1% where they are needed everything fucked up
I’m sure the wet lettuce is being prepared as we speak.
I remember looking this up and the difference is around 1%, so if you’re worried about caffeine intake you’re better off leaving a mouthful in the bottom of your cup than changing beans.
Easiest way to do that would be raise the tax on fuel, but that would be very unpopular.
Because most right wing memes are created by professionals. Left wing memes are genuine grass root creations.
The best grass root memes the right can come with is “let’s go Brandon”, which while catchy is about as meaningful as farting into a microphone.
