Hate to be that guy again, but you forgot the period at the end of your sentence.

Agreed. Hate is poison to the mind. To me, it means you want to destroy something on sight. I can't think of a single thing I dislike that much

Hate is such a powerful emotion. I can't honestly think anything that I hate. I dislike many things but not hate.

It starts by being the best feeling in the world and then you just slowly get used to it and it becomes quite mundane. Some people intrepret the honey moon period ending as the amount of love decreasing but in reality it just changes. This happens to everyone. Also, the first time is usually the best feeling one, especially in the beginning, while probably not objectively best of all the relationships you're going to have.

Immediate inflation is what would happen.

Think about all the things you used to wish for that you now have. Did it stop you wanting more things?

Having things is not fun. Getting things is fun.

I don’t think she’s a communist, and I’ve never claimed otherwise. I even acknowledged this in the part you’re quoting, yet you still choose to misinterpret my views.

Put that into your adblocker custom filters. Just change the lemm.ee to lemmy.world (or what ever instance you're on)

Maybe she's not but her father was a marxist economist. Maybe that doesn't mean anything to you but would you think the same about Donald's father if he was a literal fascist? I doubt it.

You just keep assuming everyone sees the world the way you see. "No one with any intellectual honesty thinks that Harris is a communist." is no different that the right claiming "No one with any intellectual honesty thinks that Trump is a fascist."

If you want to win elections you need to get some of the people who voted for Trump to vote for your candidate the next time. Calling them fascists is not helping. It already got you Trump twice.

Perhaps the people voting for Trump see him differently than you do?

This argument could just as well be flipped the other way around; voting for a communist makes a person categorically a communist.

You don't think Kamala is a communist? Exactly.

Implying that every Trump voter is a fascist is idiotic and highlights just how out of touch political activists on social media are - regardless of which party they support.

Treating every Trump voter as a bigot is no different that treating every democrat as a communist. Can't really blame people for not voting for communists, can you?

Great display of double standards here again. It's fascism when they do it but perfectly understandable when we do.

Being fine with this mean you're no better than the people you oppose.

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 rarely buy stuff online and when I do it's usually something I could buy locally too but I get it for cheaper from China.

Shooting up a school is the easiest way to go from nobody to everyone talking about you the next day. Grim but true.

If I were a dictator I'd probably make it illegal to publish the names or any other information about the shooter. Even better if media wouldn't report on the shooting at all but I feel like prohibiting that would be taking it too far.

It's just bizzare to me that there's data caps on your internet plans. Especially since you're already paying 5x more than I'm for unlimited connection. I assume there must be some other reasons for this too than just greed. Perhaps the size of your country? I mean even Texas alone is almost as big as entire Europe.

I'm the only guy in my (small) friend group who still used pattern code instead of fingerprint so I take that to mean my phone is by default more difficult to break into than most. Giving my fingerprint to a giantic tech firm has always seemed like a bad idea so I never did. Though the fingerprint reader acts as a power button too so who knows if they've scanned it anyway.

The front lines are not static so you can only imagine the difficulty SpaceX has trying to determine which terminal is in Ukranian use and which ones are Russian. For all we know, they may have disabled hundreds if not thousands of terminals they've found out to be used by the Russians and are getting no credit for it. I don't buy into this narrative that Elon is personally invested into Russia winning. I've seen no evidence for it but plenty against it which everyone just seems to conveniently ignore because Musk bad.
