    Trying to build viable third parties by voting for them in presidential elections is like trying to build a third door in your house by repeatedly walking into the wall where you want the door to be.
  • This comment got reported. And while trolling is not allowed. Attacking an individual is also not allowed. So I'm not sure if attacking them for being a troll is allowed.

    If you think a post is trolling (ie: just trying to stir up anger rather than trying to make an argument for something), please report it. If you think a poster is serial trolling please point it out in the report.

    I'm open to feedback.

  • Swear words are fine. Attacking people's weight (or age, sexuality, gender, etc) should be avoided.

    I'll admit that there is gray area in this rule. On Lemmy there are many instances of posts mocking celebrities for different characteristics but the posts seem to be permitted if the celebrities are largely disliked.

    I'll see if I can add a NSFW tag....

  • @Mr_No_Swearing@lemmy.zip This post was reported for fatphobia. I understand that you are using it as an example but we do want to avoid attacks on specific people or groups of people. Like you showed in your later posts, people swear at all sorts of things, like the weather, stubbing their toe, and missing the bus.

    Do you mind changing the example in your original post? You can say that the example was changed at my request. Especially if you think changing the example will make the comments confusing.

    Otherwise, I like your post. It's an interesting thing to think through and while it seems to be a little unpopular, my thoughts in the shower are often not fully thought through and would stand up poorly to the scrutiny of internet strangers.

    Edit: I'm getting some down votes. I'm always open to hearing other people's thoughts if you would like to share. I make mistakes.

  • This post was reported for disinformation. To me this post reads like an opinion and hyperbole.

    If we do assume that the post is making a factual claim; I'm not a lawyer and I don't know if voting has ever been used to claim that someone is complicit in a crime. Im open to being pointed to evidence.

    Motorola 'Chop' for flashlight is trash
  • Up voted, because I don't agree. I have the 2023 power or whatever it's called with the big battery.

    • the double chop and twist are so fast
    • wired headphones are lovely
    • the battery life is the best I have had
    • when you want a nice picture you can borrow an iphone 😅

    random that after watching too many crime shows
  • This was reported because it violates the rule that the entire shower thought must be in the title. It's always worth a quick scan of a community's rules before posting.

    Also didn't they pull brains out the nose for mummification?

  • It's a key feature of Google maps that I don't have a great replacement for. I assume moderating the reviews would be a significant challenge for the project.

    Under the Third Geneva Convention a foreign POW has more fundamental rights than a US citizen in the USA
  • Let's keep things civil everyone.

    I never had success using my phone in the shower so I'm surprised to see a summary of a legal document in a shower thoughts post.

    A message on navigating life's uncertainty
  • This post got reported.

    The reporters are correct, you should have the entire thought in the title, then use the body to go into detail.

    For example your title could have been "life is largely random circumstance, so relax".

    Shower thoughts aren't typically advice for other people, unless you take showers with other people to save water, but it's nice advice and it embodies the positive community that the code of conduct is designed to encourage.

    Google Voice replacement?
  • How do contacts work? I assume you use cheogram. Does cheogram access your phone's contacts, or does it have a separate database of contacts?

    The French are still fighting for the US democracy.
  • No, more like the US's revolution likely wouldn't have succeeded if it wasn't for the French support.

    France's revolution attempted for a democracy but that got twisted and they got Emperor Napoleon, so then they had to fight again.

    Edit: And today the US and France are again fighting similar political battles so it feels like the strong support from a French person has a long history.

  • The French may not have the first democracy, may not have the best democracy, but they have had to fight harder than most for their democracy.

    • paraphrasing from an audio tour by Rick Steves, I think.

    Edit: oops, i flipped words in the title

    Street-Complete, like Pokemon Go but for good.
  • Yes, you link your OSM account to StreetComplete and it adds your contributions via your OSM account. Same with Vespucci.

    When you log into OSM you can see all the contributions pushed by StreetComplete.

  • I first learned of Street-Complete here and I really like it.

    It's satisfying to walk around, complete little tasks, and get prizes, scratching a similar itch to Pokemon Go.

    Stuck waiting for someone? Add opening hours for a few local businesses.

    Have a long walk ahead of you? See if you can add/check house addresses as fast as you can walk.

    Want to walk off a few beers before heading home? Complete some tasks in the bar street.

    Its a very constructive way to "be right" on the internet.

    Is one a sub group of the other? Does either term include toddlers?

    I'm having this discussion with someone and we both thought the opposite from eachother and we were quite sure our way of thinking was the common understanding.

    I want to know if the car I'm renting comes with liability insurance. I just want to be sure that if I am at fault in an accident, that the other car will be covered. Lets try to ignore any personal car insurance policy and let's ignore collision insurance for now.

    I am under the impression that in many countries they are required to give you liability insurance when you rent the car, but I don't have a good source. Many articles have mixed information.

    For the US, this article says:

    > For a registered car rental company in the US, they must provide a minimum level of liability protection for cars they rent out.

    But this other article says > In the U.S., every state requires a minimum amount of liability insurance on car insurance policies, so you may already have liability coverage through your personal auto insurance.

    Which sounds like in the US your personal insurance is all you have.
