Being that you can read blocked or deleted posts by simply clicking "source", what's the point? Looks like a great way for mods to call attention to posts they don't want seen.

  • Most of us read by subscribed, not by browsing the modlogs.

    • Why are politicians doing nothing for first time home buyers?

    Jump

  • I got a lot of help from HUD and FHA when I bought my house. I couldn't have afforded to buy and renovate my home when I did without that program, which is only for first-time buyers. The program also helps housing supply by renovating unfit older buildings into usable housing stock.

    So, at least in the US in general and Chicago specifically, gov't is doing things to help first-time buyers.

    • You have to walk 10 miles, through the bad part(s) of a dangerous Am city at 9:00 PM on a Sat night. Who of the following (in the body of this post) would you rather have as de facto bodyguards?

    Jump

  • No! The problem is the idea that you'd need bodyguards to walk through any part of an American city. You know people live in these neighborhoods, right? And we survive our Saturday nights just fine.

  • The question is bizarre and stinks of casual racism.

    • How has technology made your favorite hobby worse instead of better?

    Jump

  • Bike lanes and paths are now full of people buzzing by at 25mph or more.

    • White and pink noise show promise in enhancing attention in those with ADHD

  • I'll check it out, I had it bad this weekend.

    • Why I Haven't Seen Any Trump Supporters In Fediverse (Lemmy and Mastodon)?

  • I'm sure even non-Ameticans can tell the difference between an uppercase and lowercase letter L.

    • If you have sex with a clone of yourself, is it incest?

    Jump

  • Or is it masturbation?

  • Not all libertarian-leaning people are on board with corporatism; IMO freedom is for people, not businesses.

  • My experience as well. Though I avoid political munis these days.

  • There's dozens of us!

    • This company sells real human skulls. It claims all of its skulls are ethically sourced. How do you ethically source a human skull for sale to a random buyer?

  • Memento Murray

    • What's A Piece Of Software You Could Never Do Without?

    Jump

  • Twenty, even fifteen years ago I would've said Windows Notepad / vim. Now I rarely use basic text editors.

    I don't think there's any technology that can never be superseded.

    • Have you ever fallen in love in a dream?

    Jump

  • Yes, and then I wrote a thousand-word-long poem about it.

    • What's your favorite and best Content to fall asleep to?

    Jump

  • Reading paper books.

    • Would you sacrifice pro-trans campaigning for a Democrat win?

    Jump

  • So, in this hypothetical we have a time machine, and can see not just if Dems lose but also what the consequences of that loss are. Further GOP court-packing? Loss of human rights for other vulnerable groups? Or maybe just a continuation of the status quo? With the time machine, we would know. Because the Dems winning or losing is not a good or evil in itself, but the consequences could be.

    But, real word time now, we can't know all the consequences of our actions. We should always try to achieve the best results we can, of course, but you can't do something you know is wrong (like stay silent on trans rights) in the hopes that an evil now will lead to a greater good later, or prevent a greater evil. That's my take, but what else can you expect from a virtue ethicist?

    • I'm not sure how this happened or if it's a problem, but the community !trump@lemmy.world has no moderators listed in its sidebar

    Jump

  • I will be happy to take over this community and make it about trick-taking card games such as Spades, Euchre, and Bridge.

    • Does a phone ring if it doesn't make a sound?

    Jump

  • That's what I thought!

    • Can you suggest some energetic, dream-like alternative songs?

  • Best Coast is very fun.

  • Sounds great! I'll keep adding tracks as I think of them. Liked that Astropol track, BTW.
