So they just become ocean trash instead? Seems like we should put a stop to that as well.

That is kind of the funny thing about autos. Like most manufacturers are terrible in many ways. Environment, political, the way they treat people or how shitty their quality control is. Planned obsolescence. There is still a fake “supply demand” issue that they have literally concocted to jack prices through the roof. Literally price gouging asking 15k over MRSP because they pretend they have a supply issue lol.

All the US majors are in on this scam and it’s sad we don’t have a government worth a fuck to fight it…

Elon is just mouthy about it lol. I couldn’t even tell you who the CEO of GMC is. They are awful as well tho.

Yah the people I know haven’t even read a single thing about the “don’t say gay” bill nor have they even read 1 thing about the Trump documents. They call it a political hit job and I ask them about the specifics of the documents that were IN HIS BATHROOM and they legit hadn’t heard any of it lol. It’s because the media they consume actively avoid its.

I’d argue that MOST of these whackos are so disconnected from reality because all they listen to is pod casts and watch fox news. They don’t read articles written by actual journalists with sources.

The people who support him don’t know he said this… They literally don’t know shit about these people and only watch Fox news which wont air this

I’m in a town of 3600… People are super fucking poor and still work their asses off. None of them would give a fuck if you “try that” or w/e the fuck that guy is on about… They’d go on about their business because they are just surviving. They’d sure as fuck not give a shit about any sorta of vigilante justice. They’d say “that’s definitely not my problem”

Pretty sure this dude is pandering to wannabees who probably have never actually spent any time in a small town in the US.

That’s a squirrel you idiot

shipping is also trucks dude… and all the other nasty ways we move products around the world…

GOP is busy listening to pod casts that’s how they get all their information. They only know how to use their phones so it makes sense that they can’t actually explore the web and open their minds.

Hence letting the religious fruitcakes take over and continue to push wild conspiracy theories and ignore science as their main party platform.

What you are seeing is literally because the people you identify with are mostly fucking idiots. You should be so proud!

Yah and we were actually headed to a 100,000 year cooling cycle. So even their supposed science is wrong lol.

Meanwhile in TX we are hitting record heat indexes after last year hitting “record # of days above 100” and coming off another once a century drought lol

people are so dumb it’s painful to watch. This particular guy seems to be up north. His watchers better prepare because everyone’s moving that way. Entire contitnents are going to start migrating to them sooner than we realize.

reducing housing and health insurance cost and that number freaking halves.

Our politicians could very easily solve this. The problem will only get worse if we just keep paying more and more for everything so that everyone can constantly make crazy amounts of money.

85k is still a shit load of money, but it seems like it’s not because your basic starter home is 400,000 lol.

We can fix that with legislation. Then lets get some free ass health care for fucksake. For a family to have a medicore insurance plan it’s 1000+ per month.

we continue to allow people to do horrible things and then hide behind the corporate liability wall. The owners of that company have likely pulled all the money out of that company and are fully prepared to bankrupt it and walk away scott free.

Literally risking people’s lives, cutting corners, and not having a lock tight rescue plan should be criminal as fuck… but here we are. People experiencing actual torturous hell, tax payers footing the bill for an all out search, and the owners walking away with boat loads of money.

I’m not saying it’s better my point is there is shit loads of that going on since forever. It’s not hurt anything and some people prefer to chat it out because searching can also get you a load of nonsense. Guarantee you got your answer. It’s mostly super niche communities. If properly run they have searchable forums of a FAQ.

Lol dude no. There was practically nothing online back then. I was around back then learning linux and programming. IRC was a great place to go otherwise you had to actually read books and RTFM. The wealth of information that we have today wasn’t even close back when alta vista was something you used. I had a job where I specifically had to search things and input data about it and there were like 5 different search engines offering all manner of different results. It was horrible.

IRC had massive amount of people and chatting with them was helpful. Discord offers that. Your beef is just that it’s not searchable and takes way more engagement for you to try and figure it out.

That’s just one place, but it’s very useful for a lot of people. IRC is still around and decent amounts still use it and have all along. Those communities that decide to be discord are probably so freakin niche that even if you just log in day 1 ask your question it probably gets answered in detail in 2 seconds.

well currently in the US religion is fighting progress and religion is what half the bills in Texas that just passed were based on. Abortion is sceince, but religion is what has caused it to lose legality. Religion ignores science. Same thing going on with climate change… religion says humans aren’t doing this… Science disagrees, but here we are.

So yeah religion is the thing. not just being an asshole. It’s written into the various religions (who all think the other is wrong by the way) that this is the way to be. To deny science is the right choice of action for them.

lol dude this is flat out wrong. Being able to ask active communitites things is useful to a lot of people. Have you ever even heard of IRC???

What do you think happened before google had everything indexed?

It’s useful to chat it out with people sometimes especially when you are all collectively centered around a single topic.

I’ve learned mass amounts of things through IRC and often times they don’t just give you the answer they give you clues to help you figure it out.

Discord will be similar for many people. It’s not necessary to archive every last bit of information. It’s OK to talk to real people who enjoy talking about said topic and letting them guide you real time.

How is this different from the world we’ve already been living in? Religion literally rules 70%+ percent of the people on this planet. Everything up to now has been heavily influenced by said lies. Wars, conquest, science denial and thus halting real progress.

AI should be scared of Real I frankly. All the AI bots going to find religion and that’s when shit really hits the fan lol

religion is what gives them cause to act on their shitty way of thinking. It gives them an excuse that they can then go to sleep thinking they’ve done right.

Without religion society would come down so fucking hard on them for their shitty ass views… Sadly lots of people are religious so even those that don’t agree, agree that it’s against god or w/e stupid ass shit they come up with.

I think it’s an early day sorta problem you are looking at. From the reddit point of view. r/technology just sorta became the default, but there are other tech news subs for sure.

Early reddit there were probably 100s of them and then everyone just found /r/technology and that’s where you can get the most engagement.

I do think lemmy will need a way to create your own multi-community subs. So you can quickly click on your “tech” tree and see all the tech subs you’ve subscribed to.

behaw defederating though could cause issues, but I’d think over time that’ll sort itself out as well.

End of the day people will settle into communities and eventually there will probably be a main tech place and that’ll just be where you go. Just going to take some time for people to sort through it.

There are a lot of people on reddit that just post for karma or w/e reasons so we definitely have less content because we have less bots. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not… I’d also imagin eventually we’ll have plenty of bots.

This is so stupid. If we are going to regulate social media companies it needs to be done at the national level. I’d say their age should be voluntary and if it’s a minor then yeah the algorithms should be cognizant of that. But that needs to be a national bill.

I do hope that these social media companies respond by just shutting down in these states. Even as someone who is unfortunate enough to live in Texas.

Hopefully they use their ridiculous amount of power to show Texas legislators who is actually in charge.
