Ahh cool, you don't have anything to actually say. Have a good one!
it took till this comment for my mind to read "Driving" properly. I kept reading diving for some reason, didn't get your joke and thought it was like a Yoda-honda civic joke-meme I hadn't ran across yet. I think I hit my Lemmy limit for the night.
That sounds completely awesome and seems like a fulfilling goal to have in life! Please make sure though to set up some type of arrangement for if something happens to you with such a large and incredible collection like that. I've been involved with estate sales and have seen personal loved ones just completely overwhelmed with the amount of things to process after a relative's death. Getting rid of things just isn't on the table sometimes, things will sit and rot because of love and loss.
That 3k+ of books could completely transform a public library and continue to touch the minds of generations to come if you set it up properly now (and won't be a future burden on a loved one).

yeah that's way better, thank you for the edit/image upload (glad I don't click marked read as often as I should lol). That's definitely a healthy extract lol. I'll make sure to suggest boost in the future if someone's looking for a mobile version.
It's funny because people who think they're above the whole bandwagon thing still don't realize how just seeing the numbers causes a response in them. This site is 1,000x less interesting in a social aspect when you can't see that engagement, you'll find yourself logging in less and less till you just don't see a point in it.
Did you not read the article?
This is the second time Republicans have tried to codify the bill, which passed in the House last year but failed in the Senate.
it’s long been an obsession of the GOP, which frames the practice as an existential threat to democracy.
Did you not look into the site that published the article?
The New Republic was founded in 1914 to bring liberalism into the modern era.... face challenges that belong entirely to this age, from the climate crisis to Republicans hell-bent on subverting democratic governance.
This site, This article, and These comments are not made as a critique on the republican party and were never intended to be.
Do you want a real example of "THiS Is ThE nEW AmErIcA!!"?

Oh interesting, only use desktop so I'm not on mobile so probably missing out on some cool features being developed by others.
Do you feel the apps do a better job of representing a post on the main scroll feed nowadays? I always felt like it lacked context when you were just reading a small excerpt, but I can see something like that easily approved upon and updated.
I do feel the same as the OP poster though, I honestly can't even get past the first page if I actually click and read the comments and look into the information being presented. One post can completely sidetrack me for a day if people start making claims that are untrue and it's a whole rabbit hole to get to the bottom of it.
If you really want to test out what part of Lemmy you're actually interested in...
unclick "Show Scores, Show upvotes, Show Downvotes, and Show Upvote %" in your profile settings for a week and report back on what changed for you.
I'm confused, is it not on everyone's settings for their default Lemmy profile?
"Show Read Posts" is a checkmark you can unclick if you want to hide them...
ok, I finally figured out my view on this I believe. I was worried I was being a grumpy old man who was just yelling at the AI (still probably am, but at least I can articulate why I feel this is a negative reply to my concerns)
It's not reproducible.
I personally don't believe asking an AI with a prompt then "troubleshooting" it is the best educational tool for the masses to be promoted to each-other. It works for some individuals, but as you can see the results will always vary with time.
There are so many promotional and awesome educational tools that emphasize the "doing" part instead of reading. You don't need to ask an AI prompt then try to fix all the horrible shit when there is always a statistically likely chance you will never be able to solve it and the AI gave you an impossible answer to fix.
I get some people do it, some people succeed, and some people are maybe so lonely that this interaction is actually preferable since it seems like some weird sort of collaboration. The reality is that the AI was trained unethically and has so many moral and ethical repercussions that just finding a decent educator or forum/discord to actually engage with is whole magnitudes better for society and your own mental processes.
Is the general IQ on Lemmy dropping that rapidly? I've seen your name before but can't remember the context so I'm going to assume this is in good faith.
Leadership positions....wait for it.... lead and address the members of their party and their actions. You know, like the republicans currently have on lock and shit on anyone that steps out of bounds. These individuals should most definitely be called the fuck out
“I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense,”
Some claim that requiring proof of citizenship is too onerous a burden, or that it will "disenfranchise" those whose names have changed for reasons like marriage. The truth is the SAVE Act ensures name changes will not prevent anyone from registering to vote.
But most importantly, it requires state leaders to establish protocols to allow citizens to register even if there are discrepancies in documents, such as name changes.
State's Rights.... The "real" truth is.... Common Sense, if that isn't the fucking republican playbook I don't know what is. Best part is the end,
Maine's voting culture is the best in the nation. I am confident that under the SAVE Act, our state can both ensure that only citizens can cast ballots and that no one faces unnecessary barriers to registering to vote.
fuck you, we got ours. No protections for those outside of his state, he doesn't fucking care lol. Every single one of these fuckers needs primaried and taken out of office. The actual fucking DNC shutting down funding and kicking these losers from the party would be a miracle we all need but won't happen.
These comments and reactions are so interesting to me. Like, who are you? If you're a progressive, you don't want more blocking for a citizen to vote. If you're a conservative, you don't want laws being passed that aren't necessary and add to the government's control.
There is absolutely no on-going problem with voter fraud. There is absolutely no reason for this to be a problem for any legislative body to be focusing on. But, you and other commenters always have the same response, "Well, country (A,B,C) do it, what's the big deal?"
Like wtf is the big deal to begin with? It never starts with that, it's "what problem do you have with this extra legislation that isn't needed?"
EVEN ONE PERSON NOT BEING ABLE TO VOTE BECAUSE OF THIS IS A PROBLEM TO ME! ONE PERSON BEING DISENFRANCHISED FROM RUNNING DOWN TO THEIR LOCAL ELECTIONS TO VOTE BECAUSE OF A REQUIREMENT THEY CAN'T REACH IS A FUCKING PROBLEM FOR ME!
all of these fucking upvotes with no fucking context.
A new poll shows that 84% of Greenlanders want their homeland to be independent from Denmark. Yet almost half, 45%, say they only want it if it does not have a negative impact on their standard of living.
twist that shit all you want, just seems like you're a Denmark nationalist with your comments. You're whole fucking comment reeks
"we made mistakes in the past... good luck finding someone else to support you"
like a fucking toxic relationship with an abuser, holy shit.
I think a better comparison would be a "Drive-In Theater", because with pirating you're just seeing the film, not using their seats/venue (servers) so it's like you're sitting in the neighbors yard watching it from their porch. Still costing them what would be considered a "viewing purchase" for the data but you're really not putting a strain on the theater itself by "attending or sneaking in".
thank you for that last sentence because I thought I was going crazy reading through these responses.
Take your time, real-life shit always takes priorities. I had most of the day off so I was able to fart around or else I would be in the same boat as you. I'll be around to help you with seeing reality and developing proper analysis skills when you're free and ready lol.
Oh no! Someone who engages instead of downvoting! Imagine that! I must put more emotion into it without addressing anything the person said!! lol I've already seen where this is going which is why I figured I would save anyone else the trouble and reply to your constant whining before someone else got sucked in. Thank you for making it clear why you're doing all this though, you have no other way to express yourself or move on. Good luck with all that, if I run into you in the future I'll make sure to stick with one reply and watch ya fizzle out. Maybe this all might help you in the long run.
