He was just a Fledditor. Living in a Lemmy woooorld.
I mean, how many times have we seen news reports of people intentially driving into protesters? I do wish they had the leading cause of death for comparison tho. Probably cancer, looks like a low-estimate is 6000 people a year just in Chicago.
Are you saying that OP is making a “cheap false equivalence”? They are commenting on news coverage, so I don’t follow what you mean.
That doesn’t make the comparison invalid, it can just be misleading to those with poor data literacy. Knowing how many “preventable” deaths from each source is valuable, but only if people are planning to do something about it.
That sounds a lot like library ebook renting. Makes sense to me. Ty
I’ll just sit back and watch them come for you.
I mean, I had no faith to begin with that you would do anything but sit back. That’s why my advice was to get active instead of talk.
Fuck everyone who is just sitting here watching things happen
I’m used to reading, “go f*** yourself.” but this may be the first time I have read “go f*** myself.” Grabbed this for you to help you watch 🪞 (* >ω<)
I hope you eventually find joy by not obsessing over other people. Lead, don’t dictate. (-ε- )
Nah. Guy moderates three places here (at least on that account). At least posting and commenting on Lemmy can make him part of useage statistics. I’ll take the growth and laugh at the absurdidty.
Actually, I’m glad they responded. I’m getting a huge kick out of the poorly done trolling attempt.
Talk talk talk. Go start a gang then. Make the next Black Panthers. You won’t celebrate little wins for potential allies because your wrath pushes you to demand more. That’s the same productivity squeezing mentality of a Walmart middle manager.
That is, assuming you aren’t a plant trawling around for dissidents to investigate.
Really appreciate it. I’ve been telling myself I need to start adding to the emails of my reps, and used this list as the reason to start.
For temporary solutions, yes. They have three major, perpetual issues that are not solved by tourism money.
Remember when dolphins actually returned to the city for a little while? That’s how it’s supposed to be for citizens. Bezos should just tour somehwere that needs more tourism. I think the deep sea is open.
They are being shot at. Injuries requiring hospitalization with a chance for permanent disability isn’t “performative.” I can hope but can not trust enough people remain in the police and national guard who are willing to prevent escalation.

As to civil war, I lived in a place where multiple people were hopeful for civil war to start and another place where my high school teacher joked on Facebook about open season on liberals and needing bodybags. I feel a need to prepare for the scum around me, since several are already impersonating ICE officers or killing people.

Well, hard water means it could be Ca+2 or Mg+2 ions, but it doesn’t have to be. Any metal or mineral in a “high” concentration (often as a dissolved salt) would make water hard. e.g. Salt water is hard compared to tap standards.
The water for the above user certainly could have been corrosive, or an allergic reaction could be the explanation. With a rural, rock ravine environment, any number of minerals could be in the water. You’re also more likely to get other contaminants like toxins in water not properly tested and treated.
You saying “In bad faith” =
i cantI am not trying to meaningfully disagree with you
You can prove it’s in good faith by explaining your resoning. i.e. How is it worse, specifically? How will they possibly “sort their own mess out”?
If you don’t want to, that’s fine. Spouting empty platitudes is all I’ve read the past two responses. Any more will be met with shitposts by me to match your energy.
Ahh yes, because that solves the bystander effect which is why Kitty Genovese did not die from being stabbed in 1964. Also why the Uvalde police are heros for not participating in that school shooting. /s
You still haven’t explained any of your reasoning, so I will assume it is in bad faith.
Finally, your quote is about interpersonal conflict, not violence and murder. Mr. Dyer was a therapist.
Can you please elaborate on that connection from your perspective. I imagine there must be some context I am overlooking.

Yes. The only tatoo idea I have for myself involves dice, chains, and the words “Let’s tempt Fate.” While I would prefer an ideal situation, it’s taking too long. I will support any act that brings aid, supplies, or more notoriety to the plight of Gaza. Even Al-Capone had a soup kitchen for the hungry Chicagans of the Great Depression.
Ty. I guess OP could be hinting at that. I don’t pick up on hints very well, and thought they were saying the news should also report about vehicle accident and death rates sometime.
