Post the whole playlist you coward. I wanna see just how bad it is.

There is no reason to worry about enforcement of insider trading, after a law is passed to prevent them from holding any stocks at all (except maybe index funds)

Lemmy is hostile to virtue signaling that leads nowhere (or somewhere worse if enough people do it). Post an idea that’s actually useful instead, and we will intently listen.

They do have a special name though - “the product”

It is another Firefox fork. If Firefox is in trouble, so is this project.

I am more attached to the idea of the fediverse as a whole than to Lemmy.

I think we should all be called “feds.”

It was in the New York Times and ProPublica. Others are probably just getting to it.

Me too! My favorite is that some river turtles can breathe through their assholes.

Some anime probably has that as a plot line, where super vampires only feed from regular vampires

Fair enough.

More likely that you don’t know the meaning of the word “subtle.”

That is a perfect summary! I do not trust the general public with neo-nazi propaganda, and have no qualms with banning it. Time has proven that dumb people are going to read it and drag down the rest of us. Nobody should be arguing with them at this point in history. The 1990’s and 2000’s were proving grounds for free speech absolutism for dumbasses, and it has failed miserably with the far-right power grabs that have been happening since. I want a better society, not a perfect one.

Not sure how to react to a neo-nazi book club at the local high school doing membership drives though. There are always going to be people, regardless of society’s guidance and teachings, who are extra susceptible to that kind of shit.

I think free speech absolutism leads to tolerating the intolerant, which just doesn’t work when you are dealing with imperfect primate neurological evolution. People experience the uncaring universe, and our brains struggle to identify the complex and nuanced systems at the root of strife, causing them to look for simpler answers (Jewish space lasers vs. incomprehensible market interactions that over-exploit delicate ecosystems causing droughts). Our brains are set up to tackle problems at smaller scales, and what better way than scapegoating can you reduce a root cause to be more manageable? Mental gymnastics only have to be done once.

You can educate most people to equip them to defeat neo-nazi rhetoric logically, but humans cannot be programmed with the right answers and society will always produce some fuck-ups. Is it easier to prevent a new member of a hate group by banning their ideas, or let them ruin an innocent life and attempt to rehab them after?

Sometimes you just need some round things in your face, even if they are your own

Blows my mind that vasectomies are the less common procedure. Got mine done cheaply many years ago. Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Partner got tubes done recently (so that insurance couldn’t deny her for medically necessary hysterectomy later, what a dumb system we have) and she was miserably bedridden for quite a while, with the scars to prove it. Would have been expensive if she wasn’t maxed for out-of-pocket already.

Anyone have a sane explanation?

Hard to tell if it is actually worse or a false memory, because they originally came out when garbage sugar-laced food science was really taking off targeting the younger demographic.

One of the partygoers called an ambulance, but when paramedics arrived they were refused entry and were only able to attend to the man after police were called, according to the reports.

So close to being defensible.
