There are a lot of people, especially on lemmy, who see everything through the lens of their personal ideology and utterly lack the ability to empathize or understand different views or life situations. You only matter to them insofar as to how it can advance or support their ideology. It’s pathological, and their views should be ignored.
It’s either the power mods or the admins who decide how content gets censored on reddit. Which one is worse?
I’m one of those. Capital punishment is obsolete in my opinion, since we no longer need to execute people to ensure that they don’t present danger to the civilized population in the future.
I know people who use these type of cost sharing insurance plans, and it works just fine except that there are restrictions like no tobacco users, no drinking alcohol, and you need to do a bit more work to get reimbursed.
Dylan roof points at the guy who raped and then murdered two young girls like “really?! That guy gets to live?”
So Biden is generally opposed to the death penalty, but made a few exceptions. Kind of interesting to see where someone draws the line of what is punishable by death and what isn’t. Objectively, all of these people are horrible, but three of them are so horrible that they should be killed. It kind of seems like it’s not really a philosophical opposition to the death penalty but a slight shift in the line.
It’s more of an assassination in my opinion.
It literally wasn’t a nonsequitor. Maybe you should put more energy into making sense instead of trying to make catchy gotchas.
I don’t think people are celebrating because of who he was, but because of what he represents to them.
You are the one claiming that my multiple examples don’t counter his one example.
All of the numbers suggest otherwise, but don’t let that get in the way of what you believe in your heart.
I guess we will see.
Is that how you always dismiss questions you can’t answer? Who is the ignorant troll? Life expectancy is currently about ten years longer than it was in the eighties. Your turn. Prove me wrong instead of projecting?
My 15 year old makes 16 per hour working fast food. I made 5.25 at his age in the 90s.
How about minority rights, accessibility to health care, environmental protections, women’s pay gap and career opportunity in general, black president, woman vice president, safety laws, life expectancy.
Lots of down votes, but no actual responses.
What things have been getting worse?
That’s a fair question. It’s mostly just my observation, but if I were obligated to guess, it is partially filtering based on the types of people who are active and readily express their opinions on various topics, but also because of the reasons people moved to lemmy in the first place, many of whom were evicted from reddit because they were too extreme.
