This isn’t simply a difference of opinion this is a fundamental difference of morals. As is most of the Leftist vs Republican discussion at this point.

I really can’t imagine being friends with a republican at this point. I can barely stand to talk to my family members that I know are republican.

Its been a long time since then?

To be fair to biden even though his son was guilty there was no way that he was only going to be normally punished. I wouldn’t let my parents be murdered for a drug crime.

Oh im aware. Was simply trying to figure out how this person came to the conclusion.

Probably a waste of time because they are likely a troll (especially with the way that they talk about drag) but I do try and understand peoples hangups when they exist.

Ok well here I go playing devils advocate again. There is a lot of discussions on trans issues on this site and there are more than a few times where I have seen transphobia being accepted by the instance. I stumbled across a post on grad that was quite literally saying that trans issues where invented by the bourgeoisie to incite conflict in the lower class and people were agreeing with the post.

I am not saying that it is everywhere and there are a lot of very accepting people but if you see enough posts like that in a short period of time it could very well colour your perception of lemmy negatively.

Can we just be realistic and understand that most people can’t/won’t do this. Most people do not have the time/technical knowhow to host everything themselves.

Edit: came back to this and wanted to clarify. It would be great if people could self host literally everything but I don’t get any crucial information through emails or really ever besides in person. I am more than willing to pay a reasonable amount to support privacy features but I’m not personally willing to spend 10x that amount in time to do something that will probably not work because I am not an IT person. I do not have to time to learn how to self host 26 different pieces of software that I have been told I need to self host nor do I have the spare computer parts lying around to build a machine to host them. I have looked at self hosting a matrix client because that is the one type of app that I get anything I want to keep private sent to me but my family is already using signal so I’m unconvinced that switching is worth while.

I should have made paragraphs but I forgot to my bad.

From what I’ve heard you’d probably see a spike in medical deaths basically immediately.

have you seen the propoganda pictures of the USSR and China and their sons its the funniest shit.

It really is interesting how simultaneously big and small the world it now. I have times where people call an artist the biggest up in comer and I have never heard of them but they somehow have 10mil monthly listeners.
I got off tiktok a while ago and the only thing that I miss is small musicians that post their early works to the platform.

Their music is interesting I’ll definitely have to check out more of it to see how I feel about it.

I do that sometimes and im in my early 20s if it makes you feel any better. My sense of time was broken from covid though.

They support sexual predators at the very least.

What do you think politics are?

what is a bio brand?

You can like the game but please stop with the revisionism of it was always playable. When I first played it I could not get through the first non tutorial mission because there was no ground. after restarting the mission just would not progress. It launched in a horrible state on PC I can’t even imagine what it was like on consoles.

I think I’m going to bake something this weekend. Maybe my version of the chocolate chips recipe my great grandma taught me.

I’ve been reading some terrible books because I enjoy listening to 372 pages we’ll never get back.

That reads exactly like a line in a few of those books.

I’m pretty sure they mean 2 boxes.

calibre might be my favorite piece of software ever made. I wish every media format had a calibre equivalent. I have sorted thousands of books and merged so many series into single files because who needs seperate books on an eReader.
