Reddit also has vote fuzzing where you can get the number of votes, but it's always manipulated for some reason.

I don't understand the point, and tbh it's a serious case of social media mind fuckery. It's a real problem for anyone who creates an incredibly specific subreddit for use by a group and then everyone is left wondering who keeps downvoting them. That can have real life consequences for anyone who doesn't understand what is happening.

On an individual level, having a massive archive of everything you've ever posted isn't always a good thing, especially when mentally ill people will quote mine a single post and then try to misuse it.

It is God who ridicules them, and leaves them bewildered in their transgression.

It might also depend on what kind of school it is.

Classrooms don't have to have windows.

I'm not sure I'd call them "trolls."

I think Lemmy and the fediverse in general is vulnerable to bot manipulation because no one is going to give out personal information to random instances.

There are users on !autism@lemmy.world who say that they get accused of being bots.

Sexual selection usually takes care of problems like this. People with antisocial tendencies find it extremely difficult to find partners.

In my experience, libertarians tend to be extremely moderate conservatives who don't want to submit to God.

If there's no competition, then providers can just make up any price that they want and the government has to pay it.

When there's an entirely planned economy, there's no possibility for alternatives to be created.

I want there to be a viable public option that exists. The alternative would be to require that everyone get coverage.

This is probably where I align economically, but I support statist mandates that are inconsistent with "individual libertarianism" or "civil libertarianism."

For example, we should decriminalize drug use, but there should absolutely be a strong statist intervention where people are forced to stop using drugs.

Libertarians are the right wing version of 20 year old socialists who want free stuff and have no understand of what really drives and motivates people.

I tend to lean left but I'm incredibly disappointed with the state of the political landscape.

Libertarians are political extremists who hate anything related to the government but don't care about being oppressed by private businesses, or they think that it simply won't happen in their utopia. Libertarians are everything they hate about the woke left, only applied to the government.

The problem is defining what acceptable positive rights involves. There are people who think that having to "work to survive" is somehow a major human rights abuse. I don't think that anyone should be entitled to not have to work unless they are severely disabled and can't work. At the same time, expecting people to work multiple jobs is corporate oppression.

I'm not a libertarian, but from what I've seen of their positions on this, they don't think that it's possible in an effective way. There's two possible versions: the government pays for everything, or there's public and private health care. A lot of countries have both, which is probably the best option since driving out competition is going to make everything go to crap.

The problem is that there are some arrangements that simply can't work or the existing system would implode in the transition.

There are also a lot of people who don't want to pay because someone who refused to get insurance for years finally decided to sign up for public health care because they suddenly got a serious health problem. In some possible arrangements, it would be necessary to force people to have health insurance, which is its own rabbit hole.

Liability is also one of the reasons we don't have so much of the insanity we used to have. It's the reason you don't have to worry as much about poisoned food.

I agree, but the real problem with ebikes over light motorcycles is the range. Trying to get an ebike with decent speed and range costs a fortune and the range and speed is still incredibly limited for long trips.

You also can't ride them on the road where I live, a point that I've been trying to get through to one of my roommates.

There's also a huge about of FUD on EVs being able to be remotely controlled or disabled. The same can be done with gas vehicles that have computers in them and EVs can be made dumb with only the electronics needed for them to function.

All of the children who end up getting abused because the pedophile escalated their fantasies.

A society that tolerates pedophilia on any level is morally guilty.
