Well said on all counts.
Reddit was never perfect, but in my 12+ years there, it was never as bad as Lemmy has been the entire time I’ve been here.
Basically I’m only still active here because Reddit’s mobile app is such trash and Lemmy is more convenient to browse from a phone.
My apologies!
I think the first part in my head every time.
This being Lemmy, surely instead of Sydney Sweeney, we’ll have Margot Robbie.
I remember back in junior high we had to make a fake company and product and advertise it in print form for some class.
This was the height of iMac and iPod so my group basically made Apple but for corn instead and it was awesome how many corn related product names and references we were able to work in . Even had a cool minimalist ear of corn logo and our iCorn computer even had an ear of corn shaped tower lol
Even when that person is putting others at risk, both directly and indirectly?
I mean…if some anti-vaxxer survives a bout with covid only to spread it to one of your immunocompromised loved ones, who isn’t so lucky and dies from it?
In that hypothetical, harsh as it may sound, I’d much rather the one with agency to take preventative measures and chose not to take them be the one to suffer the consequences of their selfish inaction and poor decisions.
I’m not saying they deserve to die, I’m just looking at it from the angle of how this person will use the life they’ve managed to hang onto and how they’ll negatively impact society and the people around them with the time they have.
Sure, but I’d imagine that Joe the Bricklayer may have a slightly different reaction when you tell him the exciting news that he doesn’t have to lay bricks anymore because a robot can do it.
If you’d like to break the stereotype of insufferable vegans, you might consider starting that process by not being one.
It’s nice that you didn’t die from it
Is it really, though?
I switch from Google to PA with the first email like this that I got from Google.
I tried maybe 4 alternatives and ended up sticking with PA. I don’t really like it…it’s most used icons are small and hard to reach, navigation is very unintuitive to me…but basically it sucked less than the other options.
No reason it can’t be both!
Because they’ve also got the lie-a-beetus.
