  • Don't they also lack fucking door handles to get out in an emergency quickly? Tesla and genuinely shit made cars, from start to finish.

    I just hate the fact that liberals helped boost his wealth by buying his shit.

  • But it is. Just like the diamond industry pushed the whole wedding ring bullshit. Just follow the money. It's all the corporations wanting to bleed you dry.

    For some it's getting you to live alone, for others it's to send you into the military to fight for their interest.

    It's all the same bullshit. It's never a straight line to THIS guy did it, it's just the neutral emerging result of capitalism gone amok.

  • You realize we've lost all three branches and have basically lost every position that matters? Women are worse off, Trans people are worse off, colored people are worse off. The lack of self reflection is staggering.

    Note also that I never mention any specific word, yet you're going off like some lunatic white knighter.

    That is the problem. Not only are people bickering about words, they are bickering about whether we should be bickering....

  • The lefts incessant battle about words and PR policing has been part of the reason we keep losing elections.

    It's such an easy way to drive the casual person away, when you are constantly switching definitions and trying to trip people up to call them assholes, because they didn't immediately agree with you about switching the definition of a word.

    They are such nonsense issues but they are fantastic at dividing left from right, and even splintering the left itself.

    It honestly feels like some right wing think tank tried to come up with a way to undermine the message and credibility of the left, by having them fight word battles all day long. And oh boy has it worked.

  • This is correct, but I'd just like to add, it's because conservatives always provide simple answers, to complex issues because they don't actually care about fixing anything.

    Housing too expensive? It's the immigrants!

    Food too expensive? It's the liberal regulations!

    Taxes too high? We'll lower them!

    Every issue, they provide a simple, yet absolute bullshit fix for, but it's easy to understand and for a simple mind, simple solutions are the answer.

    Liberals have failed to make progress on these issues because in part there's corruption, ineptitude, but for the most part because the solutions required are complex and take a long time to fix. And no-one has the courage to say this shit is fucked and we need a fix that addresses all of the facets of the problem.

    Original Punk'd series with Ashton

    Does anyone have any idea where to find the original Punk'd episodes? I was having some nostalgia and it seems like that show was nuked from the internet. Any chance anyone has a copy somewhere somehow?

    Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Does lemmy have a way to show the number of downvotes / up votes?

    I'm using wefwef and I only see the total number for a post. So +15 or - 12 or whatever.

    That's how it is on reddit and I believe it's one of the main reason discussion turned so toxic. Everyone is just looking at the number and deciding if a point is valid.

    Seeing a comment with -1000/+900 is a lot different than just seeing - 100.

    I believe it fosters toxicity and stifles discussion.
