I see all these comments roasting the protestors, but I'm just glad people are angry. It would have been great if the election went differently, but it didn't, and we are where we are. Support people getting mad with how things turned out. Stop acting like all these people did nothing until now. I voted, and I'm protesting. I'll happily welcome non voters in the protests too. Turn your frustration and anger against the people you oppose instead of willing allies.

I'm just here to point out that the image looks like a sand crawler. Utinni!

I was hoping there would be something about resource usage. Curse you, steamwebhelper

When I say I'm tired of working for a living I don't mean that I don't want to work, I meant that I don't want to work for other people doing something I don't care about so someone I don't care about can better achieve something I don't care about just so they pay me money for it. I'm happy to work when that goes directly goes toward my own well-being and that of my family and local community. I just get so tired of doing work that I have no personal investment in beyond "it makes me money so I can then give that money to other people."

So I play Rimworld and dream of what it would be like to have a role in a small community where everyone does their part for the direct benefit of the community and it isn't all just about money.

This is one of the most fascinating comments I've ever encountered on Lemmy

No thanks, I'm beyond tired of LLM based "AIs"

I feel like Dawson and, to a lesser degree, Tyson, go looking for high-fives for dunking on the dumbs, which doesn't do well at spreading an appreciation for science to those who need it.

Sagan and Feynman seemed to have a much humbler yet more effective way of helping people realize how amazing science can be if they'd just take some time to think about things and question what they believe they know.

All great minds in any case.

Happy Carl Sagan Day!

On the 5th I was out playing some music by my sign that just reads "RESIST FASCISM". It was wild how many offended people were telling me I didn't really know what fascism really meant. Got a lot of "fascism isn't bad, actually" vibes but did my best to avoid getting pulled into those conversations, I'd just shrug and say I was going by what it says on Merriam-Webster, Oxford, Cambridge, Britannica, Dictionary.com, Wikipedia...

That makes sense, thank you for the insight.

Huh, I am not getting "unified and cohesive" vibes from this guy and his administration.

Oh, it's the "aggressively stamp out anyone not like us" kind.

Every time I see the little "new content" blip next to someone I've subscribed to and it ends up being a short, I feel cheated.

I've been raging lately about the fact that when you put most devices into sleep mode, they begin blinking incessantly. So much for me actually getting any sleep.

I think we already did. Every time I complain or get worked up about it (edit: in person), people tell me to calm down and just vote

Sorting by new helps, so you don't feel like you're too late to be heard if you comment. Making posts, now that's extra tough.
