Well, then Ontario has to show up to vote. Well under 50% turnout both times was so embarrassing. But maybe that’s because people think he’s “on the power corrupts phase” when he’s been corrupt the whole fucking time.

Probably whatever part some poor guardsmen get stuck on a planet and the administratum completely fail to notice and they never get any aid.

Ya know, if the Democrats fucked off to conservative land and the Republicans fucked off to hell then the US could be a place where actual progressives are the opposition you could be voting for.

And look at how pathetically weak the Democrats have been during all this. They wouldn’t have do fuck-all if Harris was elected. Ya’ll need to stop praising the knife because it’s quieter than the gun.

Encouraged by who? I’m a straight white guy surrounded by plenty of woke people(dozens upon dozens) from all backgrounds and orientations, and even know a few who are pretty zealous who I’m not super close with because of that, and I’ve never seen behaviour like that except for one person who tried to weaponize it and who was called out by the community for it. I have never felt put down for being who I am, and in fact I am often surprised by how welcomed I am by all my friends, from regular gays to militant trans women and even an indigenous friend who leans a bit towards natural healing stuff(not my bag, but whatever).

Many of the people “alienated” by it have turned out to actually just be unwilling to ever make adjustments and who aren’t as good as they claim to be. A very famous example being Elon Musk, who claimed that “woke” is why he now supports one of the cruelest institutions around. I remember when I was that fork in the road and I realized that no one was actually against me, and even if they were it wouldn’t be an excuse to go against supporting “woke” stuff.

I’m not saying bad things didn’t happen to you, just that your narrow, anecdotal experience is not reflective of the vast majority of people.

Again, you were wronged by someone who even the vast majority of the left would be pissed at and so you don’t like “woke” now. Do you also hate democracy because the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is bad and has it in their name?

C’mon, dude. I’m sorry that happened to you but there’s zero logic in that stance.

Kinda weird to take personal offence from one person as an excuse to not participate in making things better.

Like, if a conservative’s idea of a progressive came up to me and started saying I was a predator and demanding that white people be eradicated I’d just say they’re being fuckin’ weird and continue supporting progressive ideas. On the other hand, there are also the people who say “the left made me feel bad and I can’t take any criticism so I’m going to vote for Trump”.

Like, how thin does your skin have to be?

Except their weight which leads to insane amounts of energy transfer and also none of the intrastructure, like guardrails, is built to handle that much weight so low down.

The way to safer is to reduce the amount of cars.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Which is a lot, but you also don’t need any of the expense of owning a car. Not a dollar of it.

It’s also brand-new and there are only 288 units, plus it’s acting as a proof of concept as much as a housing solution. The prices reflect a supply and demand issue but hopefully this will lead to more and more of this kind of development.

Honestly, as someone who doesn’t even believe studio apartments should really be allowed at all, it’s not that bad when you actually think a little.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

This is where I just don’t get it. Like, as a hevaily privileged dude, I just don’t see how you can watch something like this and not go “wow, that was wildly inappropriate.”

But was he sending unsolicited dick pics or just saying hi? Because if it was the first one I got some news for you, and that news would be about him not being a good guy just because you didn’t have any problems.

If he was just saying hi…why did you respond to a comment about specifically unsolicited dick pics?

Furthest from Trump and yet were told they needed to be on a direct call with him. Apparently even being in space isn’t enough.
