I would love to think that people wouldn’t just vote based on who they recognize most from TV but here we are

All the fucking awful CEOs are idolizing him and Bezos and everyone like them, too far up their own assholes to care that they’re idolizing exploitation and their employees hate their guts.

if forced to reopen, they should do it (rather than get pushed out and effectively give admins full control), but allow only a single new mod post every day- “day 5 of forced reopening discussion thread” and lock every other post.

Speaking as someone who lives in the US, the reason why people “prefer” it is because it’s embedded into the culture that public transportation is for poor people- temporarily embarrassed millionaires and all that. And the reason for that cultural programming is because auto manufacturers and airlines have consistently lobbied against any improvements to public transportation from the very beginning, and even had a hand in specifically designing cities to require cars. China has bullet trains that could get us safely and comfortably from one side of the country to the other in 4 hours. Most EU countries have safe, cheap, accessible public transportation that EVERYONE uses.

At the end of the day, it’s just another capitalist ploy.

Dusty Joe Texas: ok so the first thing you should know is that I’m all about personal liberty and freedom, and having guns to defend those rights from a tyrannical government

Conservatives: yes, love that, big fan

Dusty Joe Texas: I love living in the country and having my old pickup truck

Conservatives: 🥰

Dusty Joe Texas: another thing that’s super important is strong unions, workers need to rise up and take power away from the wealthy and demand the rights and the compensation that is owed us, through violence if necessary, and it’s nearly always necessary

Conservatives: wait

Dusty Joe Texas: also if I see any capitalist pigs from the bank trying to take land or resources away from me or anyone else in my community I’m going to [redacted] their [redacted] and [redacted] until their [redacted] is [redacted]

Conservatives:

Dusty Joe Texas: also I think we should provide for the poor and all others in our communities who are unable to take care of themselves because that’s what Jesus said to do

Conservatives: 💀

Referring to his employees as “snoos” really fucking rubs me the wrong way

It does retain the selected theme for me, but I would like it to switch when I turn dark mode on like it does on other instances. Strange that it’s only happening here

 

This is the only instance I’ve seen this happening on- the other ones switch to dark mode when I switch my browser, but this one doesn’t. Any idea how to fix this?

Plenty of accounts on reddit just existed to see how much they could get downvoted by picking fights and spreading hate for fun, I don’t want to see any of that here

When I switch to Hot/All, I see a ton of posts from a German language community (and I don’t speak German). If I block the community to keep it from showing up, does it hurt them in any way? Like, I don’t want to contribute to them getting banned or something for being blocked too many times…
