Honestly that would explain the similarities between religious superstitions and the things people have admitted to believing as a child on ask Reddit.

We need enough people to agree on both a vehicle and a direction.

• There are a lot of people dissatisfied with the current government(s) but don't agree how to create change; be it through the current system, major modifications to the current system, or even more severe changes.

• There are a lot of people who don't want wide spread poverty/suffering, but don't agree on how that problem should be dealt with; be it through universal income, massive public projects, or wealth taxation and better competition regulations.

IMO we need a new digital/decentralized/open-source/transparent 'social media platform' that can replace the current easily manipulated electoral systems.

We need ideas & policies to be independently actionable from the partisan politics that afaic specifically exist to mitigate change and maintain the influence of money in policy.

This is the resource I got them from.

Lots of interesting history; including a couple photos of the internment camps Canadians confined Japanese immigrants to during WW2.

I got a cat at 18 for the same reason I don't want kids lmao. I like kids. I also like dogs. But I like leaving the house for more than 8 hours more and for that you need a cat.

Yup. They just got their satire lessons from the same place as Babylon Bee.

Its worth noting that they had completed "15 to 20 contracts previously" and that they had negotiated previous contracts via text message. This process became the norm during the pandemic.

In other words it's within this context that made it agreement... not that thumbs ups can universally be used to agree to contracts.

Glad to see the reddit tradition of just commenting without reading any of the source material is going strong /s

But for real my dude. You got a problem with chemicals in your meat? How bout those crazy steroids and antibiotics they pump your chickens/cows full of so that they don't die of disease before maturation/slaughter? What about all the chemicals in the low quality feed they give the animals? Or the processing to increase shelf life?

The beauty of this technology is that it avoids all those problems as well as their chemical solutions. It uses mitosis, aka the same naturally occurring process all cells use, to grow meat in an isolated environment that disease cannot thrive. Meanwhile we can use genetic modification to improve the quality of the protein. The end result will be healthier, more sustainable and have a significantly longer shelf life.

And this technology is only going to improve.

French Revolution: May 5, 1789 – Nov 9, 1799

Invention of 'Internet': 1969

Turning off the internet/social-media will only throw gas on the fire grease on the guillotine me thinks.

Than there's the element of sites going down. Redundant conversations serve as a form of backup.

booba

Dunno lol

But one way or another the fedverse is going to be funded by its users/instance-admins.

I think the awards got out of hand on reddit... but having 1-5 on lemmy would be a fun way to incentivize donations.

Plus I do think the sort by gilded was useful in combination with viewing just the comments of a sub/com.

How so?

The technicalities are above my head but I don't see how/why.

1. Couldn't other instances somehow prevent those awards from displaying on theirs?

2. Doesn't make sense to do by someone paying to host an instance.

3. Wouldn't everyone have to create users on that specific instance to do it?

That being said, sorting by awards was kinda useful. Except do away with reddits ridiculously specific ones. Keep it to stuff like Gold, Helpful, Hilarious.

Yup. This is clearly exampled in the generally negative attitude towards reddit awards aka their only real revenue stream afaik.

"If you run a company based on the goodwill of millions of volunteer users, contributors, and moderators, one of your top priorities should probably be to focus on making them happy."

^Mother fucker^.... *Digs out wallet

The admins/mods/community have been pretty united in rejecting toxicity. Any maga/racist posters are usually downvoted to hell such that the only positively ranked posts in their communities are antithetical to maga/trump/racism.

I suspect (/hope lol) a lot of them will just use the reddit official app.

Awards on lemmy would be a great way to subsidize server costs.
