Even in European countries there are two dominant parties that work with others on their side of the aisle. In fact the concept of a left and right comes from France.

Polarization is universal in politics at the scales or democracy.

I feel many people are so privileged on both sides of politics that they have nothing better to do than to create their own problems.

Many people, including myself personally, have been telling people how much of a liar he is for at least 6 or 7 years at this point. Ever since the “hyperloop” nonsense got big.

Pleasantly surprised with SpaceX and Starlink delivering, but even those are plagued by Musk over promising in what is actually doable.

Sounds like back pedaling.

Tankies are the left’s version of internet nazis on the right.

Ultimately they aren’t a serious threat to anyone, even if their views are harmful and misguided.

Yes. One aspect is high humidity, where there is more drag on the car because of the moisture in the air. Since Warren air has more capacity for moisture than low air, it means heat plays some factor in gas mileage.

I’m sure there’s tons of other factors that heat plays into as well, such as your engine running outside optimal temperature ranges or how much grip your tires have on the road.

Not really. I was the first two weeks of the Reddit blackout, but not I just use lemmy on my lunch break, exactly like I did when I still went to Reddit.

Part of being free and accessible for everyone is allowing defederation.

That’s not how the fediverse works though. Google and Facebook were the two biggest sites online, but even then they still couldn’t “squash” the world wide web, the most successful federated service.

By being the first major social network to adopt activityhub, it means they have an advantage when/if activityhub takes off.

It’s a public forum, hence I post.

We decided to call what fire does to us “hot” and what ice does to us as “cold”. They are physically both different manifestations of the same thing, temperature.

I’m trans myself and have no problem with people doing drag performances in public, but bringing such a contentious issue into the workplace seems misguided at best.

I’m very religious despite being trans, but I’m not going to advocate for relation to be brought into my workplace either. I want to work.

Many people such as women and trans women find drag to be offensive. Why bring it into the work place?

Don’t you need email for matrix? You certainly need it for discord.

I mean I hate lawns as much as the next person, but I don’t think the solution is to salt the earth and cover it in concrete.

Decorum of the rich and wealthy. You wouldn’t understand, peasant. /s

Voat died because they took a max free speech approach, even allowing racism and stuff. Lemmy does not have a central administration that can make decisions like that, as each instance gets to decide if they federate with another instance or not.

There’s no doubt going to be a banlist that gets shared amongst the biggest, most popular instances to get rid of the trolls.

In most countries with public transport you only have to wait 10-15 minutes for the next bus on that line.

Yes, but it’s still cute and mildly interesting that it has “pork chop” for a smoker sales vehicle.
