You’re kinda stretching it there.

If you go on there concern trolling and trying to start shit, I bet you will get banned.

But, fun fact, communists actually are not a fan of fascists.

In the past week I caught a 7 day ban for “misinformation” (x3, then for reposting a link to the mod logs, “skirting the rules”, “repeated offenses” etc.) from /c/WorldNews for accusing Democrats of being complicit in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. An actual fact - tens of billions of dollars in arms sent to an ongoing genocide/ethnic cleansing by Biden. No problems like that on lemmy.ml. That really says it all for me. Lemmy’s basically just a fediverse reddit, with the same mod structure - if mods abuse their power, and admins don’t keep them in check, it’s time to ditch the instance.

By the way, Lemmy itself was created by Dessalines, the admin of lemmy.ml. Who I collaborated with briefly on building some of the UI that you’re using right now to read this. Very thorough guy.

“Essential” is your criteria? To be clear, you’re saying that anything that’s an actual human need, should be state run?

See the giant bag? He’s got multiple orders in it.

Not as efficient as driving to every mailbox in a row, to be sure.

But it also doesn’t cost Uber probably more than 25% of what they charge for an order, to pay the delivery driver.

USPS is the most underappreciated thing in the world. In the shittiest areas I’ve ever lived it’s still been fairly reliable. In a nice area, forget about it, perfect.

Remember when Musk took over Twitter and “open sourced” the algorithm, although it was impossible to reconstruct anything from what was given, and contained clear signs of being edited and incriminating details suggesting content categorization and prioritization?

What I really want to see is Facebook’s algorithm, because it seems to just produce a neverending stream of alt-right bullshit.

I swear on the graves of my ancestors, they script this shit to keep everyone guessing at what the real explanation is. Everyone finds a way to fit it into their own understanding of how the world works. Same thing with the ceasefire agreement. Democrats understand it one way, Republicans understand it another way, outsiders understand it a third (or fourth or fifth), more skeptical way.

Nobody would want to take a shitty deal, and since your comment was posted it’s back online in the US. You sound like you don’t understand how business works and are twisting facts to fit your understanding of the situation.

What is the one on the left anyway?

What are you basing that on.

People were sarcastically making the comment about sharing their data with the Chinese government. AFAIK there has been zero evidence that this had been happening in the first place.

Yup, that was wrong.

I had to go back and re-read the history of dimensional lumber. 2x4 was an actual 2x4 cut until recommendations by the Forest Products Laboratory (American Lumber Congress?) in 1919 to balance functional and economic requirements (1 5/8 x 3 5/8). It’s neither the shrinkage nor just milling after drying, they literally just cut it smaller. And if my last 20 trips to big box stores with lumber are any indication, they don’t care about cupping or warpage either.

It’s because the actual cut is 2x4, and the wood shrinks. The typical shrinkage is known and accounted for. It is a treat when a house has an actual 2x though, i.e., it was cut divided by the shrinkage ratio, or cut dry. Related to why framing is done “on center”, i.e., “16 on center”.

There was a lot more going on on TikTok than memes.

No need to keep commenting

Oh geez, well my condolences.

I’ve read Art of War. Do you have an actual point?
