I would like to encourage more people on this platform to humbly bow out and respond with integrity when they don't know versus the "20 replies of arguments" that drown out the conversation. You might be correct but I think your response is in poor form (unless we're just celebrating being the lowest parts of social media).
lol how is capitulation the answer to authoritarianism but decentralization isn't? I feel like I'm missing something from your arguments because it just seems circular and all the while condemning the very infrastructure you're currently using on Lemmy (with obvious benefits) over centralized social-media.
lol you must really not talk to anyone outside of the internet if you think anything you said sounds remotely sane or like you aren't an entitled child trying to sound smug.
They need to be removed
whatcha mean by that bud? I think you're getting confused with all your edits.
lol defaulting to an instance attack, you're such a parody.
Anyone can see from our last conversation that even when replying in good faith you just refuse to engage, there is no point in trying to bring any sort of real conversation with you.
Anyone can also see from your modlog, you've been crying about voters for months and are still continuing to do so.
idk wtf the award pivot was trying to do or what you're even trying to say lol. Again, I'm glad I could engage with you so someone else doesn't have to and possibly thinking you might actually be a real person to have a conversation with. The only reason I've gone this far is so people can actually see the links and how you respond. Blocking doesn't help if it just means someone else has to put up with you instead.
Oh no! Someone who engages instead of downvoting! Imagine that! I must put more emotion into it without addressing anything the person said!! lol I've already seen where this is going which is why I figured I would save anyone else the trouble and reply to your constant whining before someone else got sucked in. Thank you for making it clear why you're doing all this though, you have no other way to express yourself or move on. Good luck with all that, if I run into you in the future I'll make sure to stick with one reply and watch ya fizzle out. Maybe this all might help you in the long run.
I think there's a little bit of confusion and talking past each other. Would really help if people used actual party names so there's less confusion but I understand once you bring names in then people are more likely polarized about the context.
They will never get power because of the first past the post voting system
(meaning there's no hope for a 3rd party, better vote D against R)
I’m not voting for Neoliberals anymore.
(not voting for D)
I think at this point even saying "opposition party" is muddying the waters. Are they opposite on Immigration/border policy? War? Taxation? Voting Rights?
Could be partially true if they are actually from America. Lots of places have old tracks that are not in use but left in places like downtowns (sad and ironic). Definitely not an excuse but possibly some context.
Ahh cool, you don't have anything to actually say. Have a good one!
it took till this comment for my mind to read "Driving" properly. I kept reading diving for some reason, didn't get your joke and thought it was like a Yoda-honda civic joke-meme I hadn't ran across yet. I think I hit my Lemmy limit for the night.
That sounds completely awesome and seems like a fulfilling goal to have in life! Please make sure though to set up some type of arrangement for if something happens to you with such a large and incredible collection like that. I've been involved with estate sales and have seen personal loved ones just completely overwhelmed with the amount of things to process after a relative's death. Getting rid of things just isn't on the table sometimes, things will sit and rot because of love and loss.
That 3k+ of books could completely transform a public library and continue to touch the minds of generations to come if you set it up properly now (and won't be a future burden on a loved one).
That's why I never believed in the rhetoric of "it's too late to consider 3rd party!" before the elections. Here it is just 6 months later and "we don't have time for that". Is it disingenuous then to just say there will never be time for that, like it is being implied here?
edit: just saw your other comments, I hope your DNC-tea party plan works with some effect. It's harder for those who have voted for decades for a party that just isn't responsive to the citizens so we'll see I suppose.
