I no longer use this account. My new one just is so fresh that I doubt you have anything on that one. I don’t have you blocked on that account because I’m trying new approach to curating my feed and I’m using word filters now rather than blocking people when even they say something stupid.

Also, blocking doesn’t hide my comments from you - just yours from me.

You got anything on me? (I had to unblock you to find this comment)

And go where? Get off twitter and come to Lemmy to get dogpiled for not having views that perfectly align with ours. People wont get off twitter untill you offer them a better alternative.

I like fast food. A steakhouse hamburger from Burger King is just as good, if not better than most hamburgers I’ve gotten from restaurants. On top of this I don’t need to wait 30 minutes to get it, I don’t need to deal with waiters and I can just leave when I’m done rather than wait for someone to bring a a check.

If you can’t make an argument for your view using your own words, then I’m not interested in going any further with this.

questioning morals of not endorsing genocide

That’s a somewhat skewed lens to view it through, as not everyone agrees that what we’re seeing is a genocide. I definitely don’t think it is. I’m open to hearing arguments to the contrary, but so far, everyone I’ve tried discussing it with either gets emotionally captured or doesn’t argue honestly and in good faith, so the discussion goes nowhere.

…is an absolute statement in itself.

Personally, I don’t see morals as entirely subjective.

I’d say that ‘worst possible misery for everyone’ is objectively bad and any attempt to move away from that is better.

YouTube is my TV. I don’t pretty much watch any movies or tv-shows.

I’m trying to summon my inner Ben Shapiro here. This isn’t my opinion but my understanding of what he has said on the subject.

While Trump lies a lot, he’s fundamentally a bullshitter, which is different. A liar knows the truth but chooses to deceive, whereas a bullshitter doesn’t care about truth in the same way. When Trump says something like, “We’re going to withdraw from NATO,” he’s often expressing a sentiment or creating leverage rather than making a literal commitment. He treats politics like business deals, where you start with an extreme offer, then meet somewhere in the middle. He has argued that in the case of NATO, for example, this approach worked: other member states did increase their defense spending (though the war in Ukraine played a role too).

So, the point is that Trump’s statements should often be taken as rhetorical posturing - ways to push for certain outcomes - rather than literal promises. From a Republican perspective, his actions during his first term ultimately aligned with their goals, which explains their relative tolerance of his exaggerations. In contrast, they see Kamala Harris (and Biden) as engaging in misrepresentation that has led to policies Republicans find harmful, so there’s a greater focus on what they see as her inconsistency between words and actions.

My front door faces the courtyard, so you’d have to come through the gate, walk between the house and fence, and then around to the back to knock on the door. My house is one of the older ones in the neighborhood, with big trees and bushes and no porch light or anything. I’ve never had a trick-or-treater knock on my door. Maybe I should get a massive, highly coveted bag of candy just in case someone does - and then just give them the whole thing.

I never stopped calling it Twitter and I never will. Just like Facebook will always be Facebook.

In my case I have around 500 blocked users and around 700 blocked communities. I make a new account around once a year and I’d rather not start from scratch with each one.

There’s an ‘Import/export settings’ feature in your profile. It’ll move your subscribtions and blocks but not comments, likes and such. Just your user settings.

Electric radiator is 100% efficient.

If your central heating works by heating coils with electricity then it’s 100% efficient as well. If you heat all the rooms to the same temperature it makes no difference which one you use. If you use radiators but leave some rooms cooler than others then that’s going to cost less money.

If your central heating works by burning oil / gas then that’s probably going to produce heat for cheaper than electric radiators are. Same applies if it works by heat-pump. Those are 200 - 300% efficient.

On browser you can put this onto your custom filters

I dislike that Lemmy is such a left-wing echo chamber. Reddit had a much wider variety of opinions being voiced openly; on Lemmy, there’s almost none. It doesn’t take long to figure out what’s acceptable to say here and what isn’t. It’s a kind of self-gaslighting because it can make you feel like the opinions of the average Lemmy user represent the wider population when that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Also, there are almost no blue-collar workers here, and most discussions revolve around office jobs and big city life.

EDIT: and the extreme levels of cynicism.

Doesn’t matter how careful you are if the people close yo you with that information aren’t.

‘Why yes ofcourse you can access my address book in order for me to play candy crush.’

I don’t know about weird but that’s a bit sad read. I hope you’re young.

That’s Autopilot though, not FSD. Untill not too long ago it was still switching to Autopilot on highways where as in cities it was using an entirely different system. Nowdays the neural nets based system is used on highways too assuming you have FSD subscribtion. If not, then it’ll keep using Autopilot which is less advanced system.
