My problem is less the nerdy and niche stuff. Because there’s a lot of communities and you can subscribe to what you like.
My problem is more how there’s a lot of debate lords, arseholes, and I’m the smartest in the world types.
But I guess that’s the case on all social media. Really shits on what’s otherwise a nice experience here tho.
Why is no one commenting on how fucking sanist this is?
You’d be rightfully immediately reprehended if you said “you’re sexy asf for [X minority group]”. This applies here as well.
They will always happen. The illusion of democracy is valuable even to the fascists.
Whether they mean anything, or ever meant anything, is the question.
Yup. There will always be “traitors”. Just because someone is from an oppressed group doesn’t mean they’ll act in the interests of that group. In fact to get power, you’re often incentivised to do the exact opposite.
This is why we have gay billionaires bankrolling homophobic fascsists, black mayors backing racist police and other policies, disabled congresspeople voting to cut disability payments for those too disabled to work…
The list goes on.
Token representation will never be enough.
Nice. Mixed land use is way more efficient.
Capitalism’s tendency to sprawl is in part due to disincentivising mixed land use.
It this any different to today. Wars seem fo be fought with grievances and made up or overblown agressions to respond to.

What cuties
The thing is we have no fucking clue what happens down there. The Copenhagen interpretation is just the “default” one because it’s the one that got taught.
All of the possible interpretations require on massive leaps of faith, miracles, hidden variables etc.
Quantum Mechanics doesn’t have to be random. Look up bohmian quantum mechanics which is a fairly simple hidden variable model and is deterministic.
This was pretty much inevitable. While the Trump’s band of bigots struggled mightily to expel brown people from this country, the rest of his sycophants are doing everything they can to prevent non-white foreigners from entering the country.
It’s counterproductive, especially when the end goal is at least 3,000 ICE arrests per day. If you don’t let enough migrants in, you’re going to run out of migrants to arrest and deport. It’s simple math, people. But it’s also a simple president, to use the pejorative form of the word.
Marco Rubio’s State Department is doing what it can to filter out people who might be opposed to Trump and/or his policies. Applicants for visas now must subject themselves to vetting that includes deep dives into their social media accounts to sniff out anything slightly smelling of anti-Trump animus. According to Rubio himself, being anti-Trump is the same thing as being anti-America
I think the active users per half month might be a more useful metric than total accounts because that includes all the dead accounts.
