Not to mention the rise of vehicle violence, running over protesters and such.

Anyone want to translate this from science journalism to what actually happened?

Not the person you replied to but I also used to be a hardcore Christian conservative.

Honestly just talking to people with different viewpoints than me. Back when Reddit was decent I would troll with conservative BS to get a rise out of commenters, but occasionally people would reply with points I couldn’t refute. Making IRL friends helped a lot too. I realized people actually have nuance in their opinions and there’s a lot more gray area than I realized. Leaving religion was the last step for me. Once my identity was no longer my beliefs I was able to change them.

Its part of what scares me about the internet now, we all get locked in little echo chambers. Nobody’s viewpoints get challanged and there’s no honest debate any more. Defederated social media will only make it worse as there will be 10,000 different Lemmys, each one for an exactly specific set of beliefs that will never be questioned.

Leftist ideology is at its core about people. Even when it is wrong, it’s wrong trying to help people.

The right is just about power. The only mistakes it makes are actions that cost it power.

Marketing. Corporate leadership has decided marketing knows better software design than actual engineers.

Because shooting police offers who come to arrest you will definitely make things better…

If my goal is maximum readability, making a font less readable for any reason is a mistake

Not for readability it isn’t

Pretty much. I’d try to get into a different field if you can.

These days you’re lucky to be able to work as a dev at all. To get out of junior dev you needed to get into the industry 5 years sooner.

If you’re reading this and you’re learning programming, don’t bother.

The stock market has no attachment to reality any more

Sorry you can’t handle facts you don’t like I guess?

Like cigarettes. Targeting alcohol too is an example of making the labels useless.

Ehhhhhh alcohol is nowhere near as dangerous as cigarettes. The point of labelling cigarettes is that they’re so exceptional dangerous.

I’ve got $10 on Trump brings back the old anti-Catholic America

Except when Democrats look at things their people want like universal healthcare or people they support like Bernie and just refuse to do them.

As if Democrats actually do anything to stop Trump

Can we stop making random calls like this on social media? We need actual organization and leadership to be directing this stuff.

If some guy just minding his own business is your “user from hell” I am truly envious of your job
