It’s possible that you’re right. It’s also possible that people would follow those groups to Mastodon.
It’s very possible that people would follow AOC to Mastodon as well. There’s no reason she can’t post on Mastodon as well and see how it goes.
Do we really want to mandate jail time though? It seems like maybe fines would be effective? I’m not in favor of inventing more ways to fill up for-profit prisons with non-violent offenders.
I instance blocked lemmy.ml because of mods deleting my comments. I don’t want to accidentally get involved in discussions and spend time writing comments for them to just be deleted because the mods don’t agree with me.
It really is that bad. Watch the videos of Biden from the Democratic convention in 2008 if anyone has any doubts.
I remember in 2015 I thought the most pathetic ballot would be Hillary Clinton vs. Jeb Bush because it would be like we lived in a hereditary monarchy. I had no idea how bad Trump was and underestimated him bigly.
Still, since we know fascism is characterized by the near worship of a strongman leader, I’m perfectly fine taking the opposite approach. If Biden is in cognitive decline, so what? As long as his administration continues to do good work, his administration gets my vote.
I empathize with you and understand that you’ve probably had some traumatic experiences. But no, I did not say anything like what you’re asserting, and I’m not sure how you could have read that from my response.
The difference between MLKs views about moderates in the civil rights movement and not supporting surgeries and drugs for children is that white people were (and arguably still are) actively oppressing black people.
Puberty is not something that is “inflicted” on anyone. It just happens, it’s part of life. It’s disingenuous to assert that puberty is an affliction , or that someone is afflicting it on someone else. Unless you’re also arguing that birth is an affliction?
Maybe there will be a time when most voters agree with surgeries and drugs for children, but I don’t think we’re there yet, and I don’t think your “fuck off and die” attitude is going to convince very many people to be accepting of trans people.
You’re providing a perfect example of the kind of attitude that will get fascists elected. You’re replying to someone who largely supports trans people and issues, but you’re foaming at the mouth over arguments that I didn’t advance, implying that I think it’s OK to murder trans people.
Consider that the idea of puberty being something that moderates are “inflicting” on trans kids is a fairly radical view and you might need to do more than tell people to “fuck off and die” if you want support for your cause.
The right: “Trans people shouldn’t exist, people who allow boys to dress as girls and use different pronouns are groomers and should be shot. The far left wants to mutilate your children and put them on hormone drugs.”
Moderates: “Adults can do what they want, and kids should be loved and supported even if they want to present as a different gender. Surgeries and drugs are a bridge too far, and should wait until the child is of age.”
Leftists on Lemmy: “If you don’t support transgender surgeries and drugs for kids, you’re the enemy”
Do you really think that people who hold the moderate position are the enemy?
This kind of thinking is exactly why we have such a festering fascism problem in western civilization right now.
My enemy is the far right fascists, and I want to be able to tell independent voters that they’re wrong about the left, that the left does NOT want to give their kids permanent surgeries and life altering drugs until they are adults that can make those decisions.
I want to be able to tell them that the trans issue is being used to divide us and get people to vote against their economic interests.
Maybe let’s just stay focused about who the enemy really is, so that when the dust settles, more reasonable people can have an adult discussion about where the line is on these sorts of issues. I don’t think this is a settled issue, even within “the left”.
This late in the Switch’s lifecycle, I’d argue that the existence of a new game as big as a Prime sequel is good to remind people of. Haven’t touched my Switch in a while, but will likely be picking it up again for Zelda and Prime.
They did great with Metroid Dread, putting a new spin on an old classic.
I have some faith that they won’t just be rehashing an old formula and that this “Beyond” aspect will have some gameplay twists.
This trailer seems meant to reassure those of us who have been waiting decades for a true successor to Prime that “yes, in fact this is it”.
I expect we will see more trailers as it gets closer, teasing some of the new story and gameplay innovations once they are more polished.
Microsoft is confused.
It hurt itself in it’s confusion.
Isn’t she the one that spilled those details which caused him to lose roles and sue her? I guess if she didn’t want those details public she wouldn’t have shared them right? Maybe I’m missing something.
Some of this is just because some of these frameworks and technologies have been around for a while and they iterate frequently. I see a ton of Azure content that is obsolete after only a few years.
I’ll layer on to the other replies which are spot on…
One reason I’ve soured on hydrogen is that it’s overall much less efficient than battery as an energy storage mechanism.
This is a really in depth article about a study that found that “well to wheel” efficiency of battery EVs was 70-80% and with hydrogen it’s 25-30%.
I was initially excited about hydrogen as energy storage for renewable sources, but battery tech has improved and is improving.
Also, one of the major advantages of a BEV for me is the ability to charge at home, possibly from energy generated by my own panels. Even if there were solutions for me to generate my own hydrogen, I’d rather lose 20-30% of that energy with a BEV than lose 70-75% with a FCEV.
Why?
I’m not sure it’s true that the Israeli government doesn’t care about American public opinion, since they do benefit from American military support, but let’s assume what you said is true.
Even if Americans protesting won’t stop the genocide, won’t end apartheid, I’d prefer that those atrocities are not committed with my tax dollars, with support from my government, in my name. The lesson learned from 9/11 shouldn’t have been “we need to enact regime change anywhere in the world where American interest are opposed”. It should have been “Americans better make sure they are OK with the things that their government is doing abroad”.
I’m not OK with it, I’m not willing to risk dying in a terrorist attack so that Gaza can be levelled with “made in America” munitions. I’m not willing to risk dying in a terrorist attack so that oil companies and other big business interests have friendly regimes to collude with in the region as they scam the people out of their resources and freedoms.
Yeah you have a point I struggle whenever I want to describe my political opposition. Sometimes I want to write Republicans but then there are people who claim to be independent or libertarian so then I write conservatives but in reality the Republicans don’t uphold any conservative values such as small government, fiscal responsibility, etc. So I think I’ve settled on the term regressive. You’re either progressive or regressive and regressives are holding us back from moving forward. I think fascists could work too but so many Trump supporters just don’t understand that they’re being fascists.
Passkeys are phishing resistant, or so they say… but the web app still needs to let you in with password + 2FA… So I’m not sure how much that’s really worth.
I guess if the users are typically never seeing a 2FA prompt then it should be more suspicious when they see one?
