I think it's especially the money and LGBTQ+ and non sexual norms that are driving people to the right. I notice when I talk to a lot of younger guys theyre tired of hearing about it.

Because it's pushed on so much of their TV shows and things they like that they side with political candidates that are conservative at a young age and they further grow into it. These are conservative candidates with lots of money usually.

I hate to say it but it was universally cool to defend LGBT people when the media and TV shows didn't push it. Because you were defending an oppressed person. Now it more so feels like it's popular which means it's no longer an obscure thing, the anti culture is the new trend.

I want to disclaim that I don't agree with any of this other than to say this is my observation of the behavior. I play rainbow six ranked on Xbox and use the looking for group party finder with a buddy of mine. We group up and encounter a lot of guys in the army and Marines, a lot of teenagers and this is cumulatively the culture I've heard. Same thing on like world of warcraft classic and using discord to raid but those guys run older typically.

I'm not convinced that's the truth. But we also need term limits universally. I think too that officials need a way to get elected without third party funding in the US. Like even if you run there should be a system for running too.

Look if going to college didn't cost four years of time with 20K per year, where in my career you'd be near to outdated (tech), I'd go.

But for tech I feel like its almost a scam. I'd rather have the certs and/or practical knowledge or be able to go through an interview via algorithms, soft skills, explaining how to go through what I know. Its harder work to learn this way but I think it keeps your skills sharper.

I got perma banned off of reddit for commenting on a sub that I had been banned from, and instead of them just not letting my comment post - they instead basically ban you for posting again.

So if you get banned of a sub on reddit and forget because...who cares.... You get yourself perma'd for ban evasion.

I got banned from like a news sub for saying "surprise not everyone shares your political opinion, of course there's dissent".

That's when reddit for me went absolutely to shit. Just getting blacklisted by mods who are reading into everything.

Idk I just pay for stuff if I like it so no ads. Like including DVDs or streaming services. Or I use FOSS and everything's good.

I don't know man I just work here

I have to ask how do you like the pine book pro?

I have one of their phones but the software at the time was really under developed so it mostly sat for a few years

I ended up figuring out im averaging about 120w on my desktop which isn't bad at all.

A web browser, a code editor and some docker containers or binaries. Nothing incredibly strenuous. Like I'm not gaming.

Unregulated lobbied capitalism. I'm okay with capitalism and competing ideas. What I'm not okay with is some of the late stage problems we've encountered as a society. Assuming the US average person lives to be a very low of 50, we are four generations deep. Ive known two generations in my own lineage. That's not very long.

It's okay to make better systems. Even for billionaires its okay because a rising tide floats all the boats. This is something that needs to be taught better to the upper class. If these guys had less complaining workers, people willing to contribute more so in their enterprises, workers who are happy to make their products, it would be fine. Putting the squeeze on the little guy does nothing for these dudes besides some tight margins.

Coupled with a very elderly legislative body we are left with senseless greed in both trade and politics. Portions of the population just consume politics like it's a sitcom. What we're left with is a system in need of refinement.

Definitely will look into the MacBooks power consumption. The logic checks out for sure. I have to measure my current laptops too.

Thank you! Appreciate it

I haven't seen anyone really saying that. Reddits a cesspool of hyper moderation. They'll ban their own users and Lemmy will literally be default
