It's been in my library, it came highly recommended from my partner. Seeing more praise of it I'll move it up my backlog, it seems like a pretty cool game.
Racism truly is despicable. It's part of the reason why we must all take part in working to excise bigotry from the community so that stuff like this is not allowed to happen again.
To add to what everyone else is saying, Lemmy is by definition a federated Reddit clone. It's in the documentation and the initial commentary about this service, this place is meant to emulate Reddit to some extent so it makes sense that the two would be compared frequently.
One thing I've also seen people mention that could help is weighting the hot and active algorithms to prioritize smaller communities on the home feed. I remember that Reddit's algorithm did that and it made it significantly easier to see content from communities that weren't just the largest memes and news communities.
This is a near-useless critique. It's on the level of "If people stopped doing bad things and did good things, society would be perfect." Sure, individual responsibility is all well and good, but why do the young people in the United States have such a reliably low turnout? It's not just Gen Z, the other generations had similarly low turnout when they were in the same age range. Could this point to a systemic issue that causes young people to be less likely to vote? Ah no, it's just laziness. Also, to be clear, elections are not term limits. China, Russia, and North Korea all hold elections, and yet I would bet money none of those leaders are going to be leaving office anytime soon.
I largely agree with your points, but I would like to note a revolution is a type of civil war and I don't think the United States is heading toward another war of secession, and thus whatever civil war it has might be a revolution (though unfortunately it may not be a left-wing revolution).
GrapheneOS sounds cool, I'll take a look into it. Generally, I prefer the customizability and openness of FOSS and OSS solutions, but I'll use proprietary solutions out of necessity or if they bring me significantly more convenience.
It truly is a very well-polished app. I'm currently hoping between apps rapidly as I try out their different features, but in terms of UI/UX Voyager is definitely one of my favorites.
If you have a strong relationship with your manager you might want to bring it up with them, even if it's just to ask that you and her get placed on different shifts. People like this are awful and while they can change they often won't, and even then the only one who can choose whether or not they improve as a person is them. If nothing improves, you might want to consider alternate work. Don't make yourself miserable at a single workplace, when it comes to service jobs there are always positions open.
To be realistic, I agree that nothing is likely to change in the short term. However, in the long term, I think things need to change or eventually the United States will face a revolution.
Sounds like a skill issue.
