A fun and effective way to manipulate people is to learn their opinions and then repeat them back to them. Even better if you can tell them what opinions to have first.
The tragedy occurred Thursday when the child fell into the water and the mother jumped in after him, Swedish Maritime Administration spokesperson Jonas Franzen said. He said the child fell from a height of about 20 meters.
I take the express train. I don’t want my one hour commute to be a two hour commute because they stop for five minutes every 8 minutes and have to get back up to speed. I already have to wake up ten minutes earlier to take the light rail, change trains to a local, take that three stops to a hub, and change to the express train. I should just buy a car.
One time I did all my grocery shopping for the month by train but I had to bring six friends to help carry everything home and I had to pay for all their tickets there and back. I bought them all dinner for wasting hours in their day to do what one person could trivially accomplish with one car. It actually ended up being cheaper to just pay the premium for instacart and tip the driver.
In all seriousness I have commuted into a major city for various gigs throughout my life, including driving in at trades rush hour (5-6am), driving in at normie rush hour (7-10am), and driving in at off hours (around 11am-12pm) and a one hour drive leaving at 5am would be a two hour drive leaving at 7am and it would be a 30 minute drive at 11:30am. Taking the train in generally took about an hour ± 20 minutes depending on getting to the station, finding parking, and catching the correctly timed train. The delicious baked-in luxury of being alone and going wherever you want in a car instead of having to pile in another fart tube with 100 other people also rules.
The real answer is: it’s complicated and painting everyone with the same brush is kind of shitty.
I’ve been on Beehaw and Lemmy.world for the past two weeks now and while people seem to be posting content that isn’t about Reddit or Twitter or how great federated platforms are, such content does not receive as many comments/discussion as topics about the Reddit API controversy, or the current Twitter controversy, etc....
Why wouldn’t people talk about the thing that is going on? What do you want them to talk about, how terrible the name beehaw is? The world isn’t ready for that discussion.
Please stop talking about reddit. If you want this to be the next reddit, I beg of you to stop mentioning it. Otherwise all this placewill be is a temporary hold over until we all just fall back on what we know cause we keep hammering in the name into our brain over and over again. I think the same sort of thing happened with...
Fuck your dick you shitty pissbanana. Let people talk about things that are going on and let the conversations develop naturally. If you really want to control what people can and can’t talk about go back to Reddit and start your own sub where you can aggressively moderate until you’re happy with your finely cultivated echo chamber.
@LMAO is flooding the site with random communities because they’re salty about being banned for claiming too many community names. They claim they’re trying to “fuck your entire site up” but I imagine it’s a relatively quick fix to delete all the communities they’re creating, LMAO.
Courting a user base of insufferable, unfunny, terminally online idiots gets you a user base of insufferable, unfunny, terminally online idiots. If you will recall Reddit went through the same influx of shit with the digg exodus and even more so as smartphones got wider adoption.

Do you feel that there's a lack of discussion on Lemmy on stuff besides the current Reddit and Twitter controversies?

Im very excited for Lemmy. It seems a bit rough around the edges, but I'm very hopeful for it. That being said...
