If people followed that there would be no problem.

Unfortunately, the downvote button is mostly used as an "I disagree" / "I don't like your opinion" button.

Vice versa, I think Reddit upvoted a lot of the same old boring memes/jokes with the idea that maybe they would benefit if they get there first then next time.

Any post related to WWII, Top comment: "I did nazi that coming" 10,000 upvotes.

It's not that bad on Lemmy but I have noticed an up tick in non helpful very unoriginal jokes in threads with serious topics.

You're right. Votes need to be used to encourage debate and not used to discourage wrong think.

Down votes should only be used for off topic/hateful/bad faith arguments etc and not just used because "I disagree".

I know that realistically, that's never going to happen but it would help!

Easy in principle, tough in practice. Plastics are extremely useful in a huge range of applications.

The apple cider vinegar gets fruit flies but the house flies just aren't interested.

People used twitter?

It's implied. If I paid for a meat sandwich and I was given a pb&j, I'd be asking for a refund.

I make my own hot sauce, which is chillies (any variety or mix of varieties that you like, I usually have mostly fairly hot with a few absolutely mental ones thrown in to take it to the next level), just enough cider vinegar to get things moving in the blender and about 2% the chillies weight of salt. Blend until smooth. Good hot sauce is sooooo expensive and absolutely not worth it if you can make your own.

I can't go back to store bought chilli mayo now that I know how easy it is to make.

Add to mayo, hot sauce (to taste) and Cajun seasoning (to taste) and stir until homogeneous. So much cheaper than store bought and better tasting too.

We ought to ban joke answers from the community. It's pretty crap having to search for the actual answer in a sea of non helpful answers.

I think whether anyone approves of it or not is really irrelevant. People have bought and sold sex for thousands of years and will continue to do so.

The only questions is whether you think the sex trade should be illegal or stigmatised. My personal opinion is that criminalising sex work is a fools errand and that it's no ones business if two consenting adults want to trade money for sex.

What's newpipe?

Third recession within 12 years on the cards.

Yh I got to the squeaky cartoon AI voice bit and it was too much.

I'm not complaining about the length of the video so much but more that it took six minutes for the video to actually start.

I got six minutes in to the video and had to bail.

Way to much waffle, not enough debunking and the format seemed aimed at kids (which is fine, but I'm not a kid anymore).

I used to enjoy these videos but maybe I'm just a grumpy old man with no spare time now.

Does anyone remember streamlined mythbusters? I need that format for this video.

Would you reconsider your rule when the champion of every single weight division in your "one with the average testosterone content that most women have, but open to anyone that is eligible" category is a mtf trans person?

I personally don't think it should be controversial to give people born as women some of their own spaces, especially when it simply comes down to a question of fairness.

Some of the rhetoric here after the attempted assassination on Trump was really terrible.

I've been a big left winger for years but I still think wishing death on others who are politically opposed to you is absolutely awful. These are people who who claim to be on the moral high ground but who are apparently quite unaware of how hypocritical they sound.

Can you imagine what these same people would be saying had the assassination been made on Biden instead of Trump?

Sometimes it's quite apparent how little there is that seperates us from the animals.

The starting gun has already fired. Don't be idle and wait for life to come to you, you need to go get it!

I was generalising. I think it's pretty obvious that you can save for an early retirement if you're lucky enough to have the means to do so.

Which the article implies many are struggling to afford.

Assuming that it pays enough to justify an early retirement.
