"doing real labor" "easy, sweatless, office job" "the actual wheel turners"
"I dislike the condescending attitude"
It never ceases to amaze me how often people see and hate shit in other people that they epitomize themselves.
And honestly, my experience has been the opposite and I see the condescending attitude, at least more openly, coming from blue collar workers more often.
Not interested in the format even when it was still Twitter.
But "go away" is a good counter and you've got me convinced. You're truly adding to the high level discourse here.
it’s more evidence that X caters more to the blockees than the blockers.
I'm not sure I agree. However, even if it's true, I'm not sure it's such a bad thing. If you're saying something in public and I'm not even allowed to hear it, let alone respond to it, because you blocked me, you have an effective tool to shut down any dissent. This is what I saw on reddit all the time, there were posters who would block anyone who disagreed with them and so the comments sections on their posts would become very skewed.
And just the other day, I said that David Duke endorsing Jill Stein doesn't mean Jill Stein approves of David Duke or anything he stands for. Someone accused me of defending David Duke, and when I pointed out that his was fantasy, they blocked me. So I see people blocking for bullshit reasons all the time.
Lemmy is much the same, even less restrictive because you don't even have to log in to see anything. It's better this way.
Yeah but this is musk and we hate him so this is obviously a very bad terrible idea and omg how can anyone still be on Twitter after this...but don't mind that I'm posting this on a site where the block does even less.
I post on a message board that has absolutely nothing to do with politics. Of course, there are always topics that come up that someone has a political opinion about, so occasionally the board devolves into some political bickering.
However, at some point, I realized every time one of the posts became political it was because a conservative brought politics into it. I thought maybe it was just my bias and overlooked it when it was a leftwing/liberal. . .but nope, every time I noticed it getting political from there on out, it was always, without a doubt, a conservative who had to bring their politics into it.
Agree your logic is questionable, at best.
Someone who isn't fascist at all is less fascist than a fascist. This isn't the gotcha you desperately want it to be.
The title is basically a blatant lie, easily shown to be deceptive simply by reading the article.
Yet look at this comments section and how many people have bought the deception hook, line, and sinker.
We shit on Republuicans for being idiots who support Trump, which is true, but it's almost like we are trying to out-stupid them.
Are you suggesting that Cheney and Duke are equivalent?
And she denounced him. So clearly she doesn't want it either.
There is nothing about "the dead cat bounce" that requires it to going to zero, only that it be a long term falling pattern with a brief uptick at some point. . . which we're arguably seeing today.
However, the real problem is not so much the Y axis, as this is extremely typical of ticker views, but the X axis, as this is "downward trend" is being viewed over just one day. It hides the fact that the stock is up 50% in in the last month. I doubt Trump is sweating this drop too much.
We're once again seeing how easily manipulated lemmy users are, and how little they actually look into anything themselves, or how quickly the rush to conclusions about things they don't understand.
Yup, that's exactly right. On Lemmy you don't even have to log out, blocking someone simply means you can't see their posts. If you don't want a harasser or stalker to see something, and you post it publicly, you're an idiot.
And this is the way it should be... You shouldn't be able to silence someone from responding to stuff you say publicly by blocking them.
