Does calling Netanyahu ‘Bibi’ put a bad taste in anyone else’s mouth? I know people are trying to emasculate him a lot of the time, but it feels like calling Hitler ‘Addy’.
A lot of Flat Earthers don’t believe in space at all. They believe the Earth is covered by a dome called the Firmament, which just has a lot of pretty lights on it. My favorite obscure Flat Earther belief is that all gravity is caused by the Earth continuously accelerating upwards at 9.8 m/s².
Yeah, I recently found a post there where a person wanted to modify a downloaded mesh. The first comment was telling them they would need years of experience to do it well. The OP responded that they had figured out a solution that they were happy with, to which someone told him that his results were shitty and then explained a way to do it better. When the OP got upset at this back to back dismissal, everyone unanimously decided they were an asshole.
I think most people on Lemmy would agree that private planes simply shouldn’t exist, at least on a personal use level. I don’t actually care at all where these rich bozos are going, but the ability to shame them for their method of travel outweighs any potential privacy concern. Airports are public places, airplanes (were) a matter of public record. If they truly want privacy, they should find an alternative means of conveyance. If they absolutely need to travel incognito, they could just charter a plane, for Pete’s sake.
I think there’s a perception of preaching to the choir here. A vanishingly small percentage of Lemmy users would ever vote for Trump, and Biden is just the default other option. You don’t need to convince someone not to eat a turd, but if the other option is to just eat a smaller turd, it’s fair to focus your efforts on getting people to opt out entirely.
FWIW, I will be voting, even though my vote is electorally useless, but I understand not wanting to cosign the actions of either septuagenarian genocide supporter.
Nothing you said disagrees with what I said. My comment was all about the impulse to abstain, not advocating abstention. My final sentence calls them both genocide supporters.
As an American, I can’t help but wonder why you’re so defensive of the US. It’s like you’re a shitty guy who just heard someone say they would pick the bear.
