I find the quality and variety of discussions on the fediverse to be lower than what I had on reddit. Lemmings have strong preconceived notions and little interest in changing viewpoints from new information. I think I'll be switching back.

Edit: you'll find that most of the comments deny any shortcomings of the culture and go directly to invalidating my opinions via character assassination. If lemmy was a community that actually stood for the ideals which it espouses it would take constructive criticism in the spirit in which it was intended. QED.

A stranger outdoor cat just walked with me for a few blocks on my way home from a dinner party. It was fun to have a five minute feline friend. It's sad to know they will very likely die long before my indoor cat of a similar age.

Don't forget:

When you're told the economy is doing great this is what they mean. It's a bad message to send in an election year.

Cool. Now lower interest rates so I can at least dream about the prospect of owning a house again.

The UN Chief resigning as a result would be a show of power. Calling for it and not getting is a show of weakness.

This is a republican problem. They renegged the budget, they caused the shutdown, they ousted their speaker when he swerved to avoid it. The republicans have all the votes they need to not fuck over the constituents. All they have to do is their job. Dems know they won't do it. Every second republicans are burning political capital.

If you're asking because you don't know how truly awful and scary AfD is: AfD is truly awful and the prospect of them gaining control is very scary. One of the world's richest people can make things happen in politics.

If you're asking because Musk supporting right wing politics is well known: yeah but see above. AfD is scary shit.

You don't earn the title "Me" generation without being legendarily self important.
