A lot of those confederate statues got built in the 1950s and 1960s during the Civil rights movement.

I mean if it is a bell curve, even an average person is smarter than half the world. There's a selection bias on social media because those heated and ignorant threads get memed and shared either by people who believe the nonsense or by outrage.

That's the thing. Chiropractic could be considered a manual treatment which is a therapeutic modality. PTs do manual therapies that are less traumatic and are one component of the musculoskeletal issues that contribute to pain that chiro claims to heal. For most situations of acute back pain they resolve in 4 to 6 weeks so even the ineffective treatments appear to help- it's just like treatments for the common cold.

Vanguard and Blackrock. Their retirement fund allow them to have a significant share of major companies when compared to individuals

It is taught and Civil Rights is taught, but we didn't really learn about ongoing injustices against the black community (redlining and imminent domain, racial biases in the war on drugs, sund9wn towns, etc.) so US history classes painted a picture of it all being largely over with.

Yeah unfortunately it's a subscription service now. I'm gonna try castbox and hopefully that works out.

The one thing I liked about Google podcasts was the parity between pc and android. Now I gotta find a similar podcast app to do the same

I mean gamer "boycotts" have had a history of poor staying power (L4D anyone?) I do hope enough people have left to make places like lemmy thrive. Reddit can keep folks like the commenter in the pic

Downfall was definitely the wrong word to use. I want this to be impactful and make Reddit change course, but that can only happen if enough people leave.

Part of it is the smaller base, but hopefully with more folks coming in, the different instances can help maintain that vibe

Everyone on DIY loves my kind of basic project that I posted. It's a pleasant feeling

For sure. I'm enjoying it, but reddit's downfall really depends on how many divest from it and can join us here. I think it'll be fine because people are coming and there will be guides to help folks navigate, but only time will tell

Between work, the heat, and dealing with clay soil this took way too long to complete! I love how it turned out. The next step is using a hoe to slope the soil over the gravel, tamp it down, and plant some sedum ternatum for groundcover.
