Republicans don’t believe in small government.

We’re not talking about football, we’re talking about Nazis and fascists. Fuck you for your false equivalence.

If there is a chance that you share beliefs with a Republican then I’ve got some bad news for you.

Lot of good information, but I have a clarification. Independent actually means you’re a Republican in hiding.

People with lots of money use trucks/cars. People with some money ride bikes. Most people walk.

Parable of the Sower.

The only thing I reasonably see myself using a gun for, aside from plinking, would be a dog attack. I could see it helping in that situation. If a person is involved running or complying is basically always the answer.

In what Loony Toons world does someone need to show you how to escape quicksand?

All things PrimitiveTechnology has done.

I was thinking of the Omarchy guy, DHH. The Hyprland guy allowed transphobia/bigotry on the official discord until he was called out.

Taxes aren’t theft. They pay for roads and other services everyone uses. Framing them as they is right wing bullshit.

That’s awesome. I love mechanical clocks. The engineering involved is fascinating to me.

Libertarian attitude is a huge deal breaker.

There is more than one, but the other might have stopped.

It’s been a while since I seen you or one of your alts. The answer is yes cancer jumps around from person to person like the flu, but you can drowned it in shallow canals to stop it.

The longer I’m on Lemmy the less I think the benefits of decentralization outweigh the costs. Petty squabbling and schisms all the time. An infinite number of new bot posters from an infinite number of instances. Normal users are never going to flock to the fediverse. They would hate it here, and we would hate them being here.

No. It’s a shaggy dog story. Long joke that ends in a dumb bit that ignores all the setup.

I block any spammy user I can. I’ve noticed a TON of new accounts that are < 1 day old with ~20 posts. Always in the same communities. Politics, world news, science, and maybe a couple others. I block every single one of them.
