Agree, Definitely recommend having job lined up before any major change like that.

Agreed, first pass the post voting ensures a biparty system, full stop. It’ll always be close, too many disparate groups of many sides that splinter, coalesce, engage/disengage to create the 2 parties. The Overton window can move however.

In the US at least, the further right you go, the more strict the constitution and laws are interpreted

This is a myth conservatives want you to believe. In reality, they use the constitution and laws to protect but not bind themselves, while at the same time to bind but not protect others. In the state of Virginia today access to pornographic sites without ID verification was made illegal by Republicans. This example or any of the BS Desantis has pulled recently in Florida shows when aligned with their goals there is no hesitation to pass anti-constitutional measures.

In the case of student loans - public education helps the out group, so any justification (constitutional or otherwise) will be used to attack it.

My understanding is that its just straight up not profitable plus network effect. Requires too many resources to run the service and only profitable if doing data harvesting from users in the way that google/etc do.

That was part of ACA/Obamacare my dude, Trump had no role in it and had vowed to repeal it but failed. 2718(e) of the Public Health Service Act.

I brought the sauce.

When we're talking about consuming it as a major component of the diet things change. 2 eggs a day is something like 140 cal. A dozen eggs a day to get half your calorie needs, 7 dozen eggs per week? No studies have been done where there's been that degree of dietary cholesterol.

Edit - the answer to OPs question is probably lentils.

What do you think the odds are this platform was put together with react?

Edit: have a better informed opinion after reading this ariticle. Support every instance that doesn’t federate with them, shun those that do.

Isn’t that just markdown? Eg wrapping with a star/asterisk italicizes. If you want to escape that you backslash.

test in italics, made by wrapping with asterisks

* = a backslash escaped asterisk

Newbie issues (vlemmy.net)

cross-posted from: https://vlemmy.net/post/82674

Hi transitioning from Reddit after being there since before Digg migration. Liking Lemmy but having 2 issues hoping to get advice on. Using firefox on mac.

  • Content movement: from the home screen when I select all, there is a loading period and the posts are populated. However as new instances collect everything just piles into the top making pics/posts I'm looking at move and self close. Is this expected behavior?
  • Ranking: imo the breakthrough reddit provided was in aggregating and ranking via votes. Whether it is through hot, controversial, top, etc there is an underlying algorithm that orders the posts. Due to the way content seems to come in from instances, I seem to get two different behaviors. The main page is either blocks of rank lists from each instance instead of a single rank order or the setting (hot, activity, top, etc) just doesn't seem to apply. The linked image is a screenshot of an attempt to filter all by top of week. The top posts have 1-2 votes on them.

These are probably just bugs on my end and I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
