The Fifth Risk is a very good read for anyone who might be interested in a finer grained look into the lesser-known functions of our government 👍

If you are using “game engine” in the industry standard way, you would want to learn object oriented programming first, then learn how to use an existing game engine, and then MAYBE, in a long time, with a big team, build your own game engine.

I told it to generate a pretty complex react component and it worked on the first try yesterday. It even made a style sheet. And it actually looks good.

Lemmy.world users generally hold ridiculous, unrealistic leftist positions and do not have any concept of people who might have any other more moderate left positions

Thank you for your answer! My understanding is: these jobs are not offered equally to US citizens. And they do not pay a fair wage.

If someone assumes a question is racist, the responsibility is on them to clarify if that is indeed the case.

“you are allowed to talk about it, but we won’t give you a straight answer. You’re a racist for asking what’s going on.”

The accusations of racism and bigotry are unfounded. If you watch the video, all the locals are not racist at all. If you read my post, I challenge you to find anything racist or bigoted.

Many people are asking what’s happening with the population change in their towns, and why. And getting no answers. Just, “you’re racist for asking.” Suspicious and argued in bad faith.

Can you rephrase this? I’m not sure what you are asking

Not at all! You can give love and compassion and still ask why tens of thousands of new people are flooding into towns in a short time. Not mutually exclusive at all.

Clearly you didn’t watch the video. No one said anyone was a bad person. But a lot of people are wondering why certain towns have grown by 50% in 2 years

I hadn’t heard about any of this until now. And I mean, check the comments of anyone who talks about it. “You’re racist if you ask why this is happening”

Yes! Fail to see what digging through my posts have to with anything? You also didn’t make a point

What do you mean?

What is racist or xenophobic about any of this?

Just hit 5 months with no work. It’s been tough

This would work better as Nth floor of a building

This is great suff and I agree for the most part.

I have not been occupying right spaces online. Don’t have the time / energy. And I don’t really put in the effort to try to change anyone’s mind Online because people are change resistant online.

But

I do argue politely IRL for things that would help. Better infrastructure, trains, good jobs, love everyone, let people do what they want as long as it doesn’t hurt others, transparency in money and government, and make good things in America. Still unlikely to change minds but at least making friendships with people different from me.

I guess my overall thesis would be: online discourse is has proven unproductive. I’m tired of reading vitriol and “other side is so dumb wow.”

Disappointed to see the echoiness of the echo chamber on Lemmy

Thanks! Good response. I think it is always worth the effort to try and understand and talk to people and use words to convince them. I think everyone can be convinced, we just have to pull the right levers.

But if it’s the community’s opinion that that is not an option, and only violence is the answer. I have very low hopes for our country’s future.

I would be cautious about writing off an entire side’s viewpoint as overdramatic. When they do that to the left, does anyone change their mind?

This is all about division.

We need to work on understanding the root cause of issues and working towards fixing that.

I think economics is actually at the core of the problem.

A lot of people don’t have the basics right now, and they lash out at anything they can to try to fix it.

The Overton window has shifted dramatically in the last 10 years. He represents aversion to that
