Depending on who you talk to, it actually might. Even this phrase, a sensible request for freedom on its face, is absolutely a call for the dissolution of Israel to some who use it. Finding an innocent in the conflict, outside of a maternity ward, is mighty challenging.

The reviews aren’t glowing, but the concept looks fascinating.

There has almost certainly already been a chilling effect from similar laws in Florida. Teachers cannot take chances: If they are fired for cause, they often have to move to another state to remain employable in their profession.

It’s lost its association with chickens decades ago. Not even the recipients of the insult are generally aware of its origins.

It hides the true cost of the meal and allows both the employee and the employer to avoid taxes on this part of the “salary”

Is this the right place? I feel like most of us in the fediverse are past “fixing” Reddit and are now just gleefully watching it burn.

Since Poland was restored at the Treaty of Versailles, it has invaded exactly 0 countries. Russia has invaded a few dozen. Including Poland. Twice.

People will do batshit crazy shit if they think God wants them to.

I think the only people supposing the CCP these days are actual Chinese people. A distaste for China seems to be the sole unifying topic in the west.

It’s funny reading people suggesting RSS on here as a way to replace Reddit. Aaron Schwartz helped create both of them.

Maybe we’ll eventually get the corresponding influx of tech writers.

Agreed. As others have pointed out, voting helps to elevate higher quality posts (even if it doesn’t always work that way), but karma takes that imperfect process to its ridiculous extreme.

Not sure if this was an argument for karma, but it sounds like an argument for avoiding contraversy and trying to fit in This is why everyone on Reddit appears to have the same opinion. I much prefer a diversity of opinions, and no penalty for speaking one’s mind (while treating each other with decency).

Karma makes sense, in theory, but in practice, it just punishes anyone who diverges from the herd.

I am not alone.

“Pcmasterrace” did not start with Reddit.

we both give the finger to a blank wall and pretend we’re brave.

Perfect imagery.

I struggle with that one, too. Like, the alternatives are better? I think there are a large amount of people who have not found financial stability, and they feel like all they can do is “fight the system”.

So, are you saying that “reaching across the aisle” and hearing alternative views are bad things? I get avoiding hate speech and excessive negativity but is think a happy medium would be more healthy.

We are guests.
