I would not worry

People keep saying that, yet here we are.

It's amazing how often that is the correct way to fix things.

We're in the stupid timeline.

he may not even make it to 2028 🤞🏼

He got over 50% of the votes and over a third of the country didn't even bother to vote at all. I'm full accelerationist at this point and hoping the country doesn't make it to 2028.

you took time to reply to a worthless take? How little do you value your time and opinions that you'd go out of your way to deride mine?

Well, this took a quick turn into Godwin's Law faster than I've ever seen.

I don't know anything about Grayson or why someone would have an issue with him, but you've made it very clear very quickly that you're not providing view points worth looking into, so thank you for that.

Obviously that steam guy was probably coming from a place of bad faith

The Steam forums actively encourage this kind of bad faith behavior:

  1. when a post gets a new reply it's moved to the top of the forums. So as long as people are engaging with a post, even if it's just to make fun of a bigot, it keeps getting pushed back to the top.

  2. Users can "award" posts for various things (helpfull, cool, funny, etc) and users have taken to giving 'Clown' awards as a way of making fun of posts. Whenever one of your posts gets an award, you are given Steampoints you can use in the Steam cosmetics store.

This results in every game having bad faith posts "complaining" about wokeness so that people will make fun of them with Clown awards as a way to farm Steampoints. The developer bringing attention to it just helps them get more.

For the thing you were claiming 3 days ago that got removed by a moderator.

Musk has money to give Trump

Trump has been promoting fear the entire campaign. This is reminding people that they don't have to give in to it.

You're telling me the account "BlueWave_2024" is going to disappear after the 2024 election? What would lead you to such a bold conclusion?

I don't live in the US, so I'm not terribly involved in your local politics. I just notice that it only seems to be in October that a noticeable number of people are talking about holding politicians accountable and "making a 3rd party viable."

Prove me wrong and push for improvements between elections as well.

 

Received a text from a pollster asking me who I'm going to vote for, is there any good reason to respond?

 

This is a weird one.

I am subscribed to Risa@startrek.website When browsing on my phone I can see the thumbnails just fine. When browsing on my desktop ublock origin blocks the thumbnails and avatars, but only from the startrek.website instance, and only when I'm accessing it through Lemmy.ca

If I go directly to startrek.website I can view everything fine, and other instances I am not encountering this issue with. Any idea what might be the cause? I am using Firefox.

 

I can go to the main page of a Lemmy instance and see whatever is active on that instance at the time, but is there a way to get something like r/all for all federated instances?
