Sorry I stole it from a reddit post, so I don’t know the answers to your questions.

You clearly didn’t follow my logic.

Unfortunatly I don’t have the means to help you, good luck.

If you want to have a romantic partner in the future then I suggest you figure this stuff out.

You could empathize with them, if they’re open to it then maybe ask why it keeps happening. You could also say nothing if it’s a stranger on the internet. If this person is important to you then yeah, tell better them how strong and brave they are and how stupid and mean that wall is. There’s a time and place for constructive criticism.

Who shouldn’t be taking care of themselves? Everybody and nobody. It’s supposed to work so that if you need help you get help and if you can help then you give help.

It’s a common trait of young people, often young men. I used to be one, guilty of it myself. “You’re the problem” stems from a lack of sympathy, because they haven’t had many bad things happen to them, emotional nuance, because they’re young, and lastly they’re taught to be independent and “solely responsible for their situations.” Therefore it’s extremely frustrating for people like this to care about others because someone who needs care is antithetical to what they’ve been taught, and they’re taking care of themselves so why can’t you, weak person?

I want to emphasize that people like this are not bad people. They are probably kind and caring and everything people should be, but they can’t stand people not taking care of themselves. They can learn, and I suspect most do when they get older.

then the ‘concerned’ people start invading it and want to sanitize it so that it’s ‘inviting’ to non-enthusiasts and they start policing everyone the way they police themselves. And their primary concern is not the idea or hobby, but it’s presentation being as ‘acceptable’ to as broad a spectrum of people as possible…

I’ve encountered this first hand with anti-tankies. I was questioning their concern about .ml, suggesting they were being counterproductive and were actually advertising .ml, and several people responded that they’re scared new users will find .ml and be so offended that they’ll leave lemmy. It seems ridiculous to me that an average user would care about retaining and maximizing users on lemmy. Why would someone care? It doesn’t make sense. This is lemmy, it’s never going to be cool. It’s where a bunch of nerds argue. People should go back to reddit if they want size and an echo chamber.

Oh, so just like me.

The chair is basically a dictator, 100% power, 0% accountability.

Ha, someone made them dictator and the DNC needs money. Just wait. A status-quo candidate will be pushed by corps and billionairs. I’m betting they’ll push Pete Buttigieg.

But I hope you’re right, AOC would be amazing.

I’m having flashbacks to the 2016 primary. They had a guy like Mamdani in policy and principle and decided to put their finger on the scale for Hillary. The 2020 primary wasn’t much better, although it seemed a bit more fair however they could have run anyone and won. Have they finally learned their lesson? They’ll probably be able to win with anyone in 2028 depending on the Republican candidate, so why won’t they run a lackey for the rich again?

I’ll be going to my first dnd session next weekend. Can someone explain why metagaming bob doesn’t like this regulation?

Edit: Thank you everyone! Great explainations.

The missiles aren’t pointed at countries, they’re for shooting down other missiles. They’re also likely quite small with tiny warheads, so wouldn’t matter much to cities on the ground.

Would that have any result? Couldn’t the US, being on the security council, simply veto whatever resolution was put forward?

In theory that could work, but when they all get fired, again, and replaced with military air traffic controllers, Trump will look like he saved the day.

I’m sure everyone would love that and would wholeheartedly support that decision. No blowback whatsoever.

How long has this been the case? And do all of those devices need chips with 3nm process nodes? Why can’t a slightly inferior chip be used?

Didn’t answer my question bot

So they’re not really needed by the average person

What is it about these chips that makes them so special? Are they for something practical or are they for advanced weapons or AI? Why does a country need them so badly?

No fly zone over Ukraine?

1. The Senate is antidemocratic
2. The electoral college is antidemocratic
3. Slavery is wrong, stop that shit right now. Yes Jefferson, I’m looking at you, in the future we all know what you did, err, are doing.
4. There will be over 300 million people in this country and their collective will is largely ignored by our “elected” representatives because gerrymandering has become a science. You don’t know what that is? Fine, just write down that elected representatives can’t draw their own districts. Seriously, that’s what they’re doing.
5. Money is not speech, write that down. Doesn’t matter where. Yes really.
6. Did I mention how undemocratic everything has become?
7. Private health insurance is illegal. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know what that is, write it down.
8. Look at this gun. Anyone can purchase this. ANYONE-bang-CAN-bang-BUY-bang-THIS… bang.
9. You know what? Here’s what we’re going to do. I tell you what to write and you do it, if not, I’ll shoot more than your ceiling. There’s 30 rounds in this thing and it takes me two seconds to reload. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs…”
