Why doesn't Lemmy have a system like Reddit's Karma?
  • Thats a positive, if you've ever dare to voice an opinion against the reddit/lemmy.world hive mind.

    It doesn't matter if a hundred people hate you in a community, it affects nothing else in other communities.

    Rule
  • Coke nails tend to just be a single nail (usually a pinky) or at most a single nail on each hand. However having just your two main digits' nails cut indicates another activity that some may consider even more taboo than drug use, digital interaction with vulvas and beyond.

    If Trump wins the election, these 11 issues will be under threat
  • You, as the collective you, have said every election that democracy is on the line. Every single one, some large contingency of neoliberals pulls out ol' reliable and claims their opponent will end democracy. Trump and Clinton's camps both did it. Kerry did it, Obama, fucking Clinton(penis) v Dole had that messaging. It's worse than crying wolf, it shows a ridiculous misunderstanding of what is allowed by the rulers of the country. The rich have no interest in a dictatorship, and they set the rules. The current oligarchy wherein both candidates essentially do the same thing is by far the most profitable arrangement, so it will continue.

    TIL: Almost all US states could be swing states if non-voters voted
  • Sure, and police really don't ever want to kill unarmed nonviolent civilians but it keeps happening so...

    If you vote for Harris for any reason relating to trump, you think genocide is the price to pay to avoid that. If you vote for Harris for any other reason, genocide isn't a problem for you. Ditto for Trump voters.

    If I say I hate literally shitting on humans but actively choose either a random child or my child to shit on, clearly it's either not that big of a deal to me, or I actively want it.

    There is always more than two options in all things, and if two of your options are genocide, as a human being you have a duty to pick any other option.

    1.6.9 update will release at 10 am PST.
  • In short, yes. In long, no but it's nice. In schlong, xtardew valley and other such mods need some more exposed API nodes to really take off, so yes.

    Just a little bit of trolling
  • We kept eating the ones that other animals ate and didn't die from, and used the inedible trees for firewood. Eventually it worked out, like all foodstuffs.

    TIL: Almost all US states could be swing states if non-voters voted
  • What country do you think we're talking about? Half the US thinks they need to genocide brown people abroad to not be victims of Genocide and the other half thinks they need to genocide brown people abroad and at home to not be victims of genocide

    NASA seeks continuity in human spaceflight programs in next administration
  • Because the point is to create a set of companies that autonomously explore and colonize space under the US flag, having multiple companies participate in the public option ensures at least one can continue on their own, ensuring further than nasa can always get a ride to wherever.

    In an ideal world nasa would operate more like it's Chinese counterpart, but given the division in the US and the timeline required for space flight, that's impossible. The first manned flight beyond mars could be defended half way through the journey in the US with no real recourse.

    Harris vows at Michigan rally to ‘do everything in my power to end the war in Gaza’
  • They haven't been met. There is no war. There is a genocide that has been called a genocide by everyone except the people doing the genocide.

    Netanyahu also has pledged to end the war permanently. I'm not exactly in support of that, no human being is, only parasitic monsters.

    Israel needs to stop the genocide, Harris needs to stop funding genocide, and needs to use those words, not the words of the enemy of humanity.

    Linus Torvalds Lands A 2.6% Performance Improvement With Minor Linux Kernel Patch
  • Just to circle back to this now that I'm more sober,

    It's like being mean to customer service people of a bad company.

    If you do this you should unironically be put in jail and stopped from having any form of communication device for the rest of your life. I can't overstate how fucking pathetic and psychopathic this thought is.

    The Polls Are Underestimating the Importance of Climate Change | The climate crisis is the ultimate "kitchen table" issue, argue activist Saad Amer and Rep. Ro Khanna
  • 370 billion, mostly for tax credits that are actively being abused by bad actors, all that don't address the actual problems. Every house could have solar panels and every car could be an EV and it simply would not be enough to get anywherr near carbon neutrality, much less the needed carbon negative to avoid 2c by 2030.

    The reality is China proved it was possible to lower emissions by actual green investment, building more green energy production last year than the total green energy capacity of the US. They've hit peak emissions while the US hasn't. This isn't meant as a China good thing, to preempt that nonsensical reply, but merely as a direct example of what the US could do given they have similar (though slightly lower) GDP. At this point in time China produces more green energy than the US produces total.

    Visiting America
  • We usually have dedicated baggers in the US, though many stores switched to having the cashier do it due to the 'labor shortage' during the pandemic. It's basically a jobs program, usually given to disabled or older applicants that management wants tax credits for, but don't actually have a use for; also teens that otherwise would be too costly to train if they're only being employed for the summer.

    Capitalism breeds innovation in how to pretend labor is necessary for everyone to do.
