  • tbf, grimes is not better

    would expect both of them to be less like this if that were the case

  • WE as humans are the problem.

    you can count the owners of the entities that produce the most greenhouse gases within 3 digits; it's not "everybody"

  • although it's very common for the earlier generation to blame the later generation for the world sucking (or what they percieve as "sucking"), in this case it doesn't work because not every boomer and gen-x-er is a CEO or past CEO

    like they're wrong to blame the later generations for this, but that's because it's not mainly a generational thing

  • but the thing about voting is that basically every politician is either:

    1. In the pocket of one or more corporations
    2. Literally part of a corporation (or outright owns one)
    3. A politician at who doesn't have as much power as the former two or is in the pocket of one of them

    so we could vote for John StopClimateChange, and then find out that every single thing that Mr. StopClimateChange said about his crusade to stopping climate change was not at all true or was so utterly miniscule in the long run as to be meaningless

    then what?

  • and guess who lobbies a ridiculous amount to either keep the rules the same or bias it further towards their interests

    yep, corporations once again

  • why is this man like this

  • tbf, it's definitely a thing that is genuinely being discussed about in a non-"why can't I just say the slur" way

    edit: and by "discussed" I mean people who aren't white discussing it

  • you know, it's really funny that every time someone goes "I don't care about

    <XYZ>

    's open political opinions, only that they keep doing/making the thing I want" they invariably end up being some kind of right-winger

  • I did not know minecoins were a thing

    but in any case, I'm not saying that they're making a good decision, just that I don't see the point of reddit gold

  • yeah, like OP isn't realizing that they're going to just make another Twitter

    if you have it that there are no rules against shittiness and bigotry, then the worst kinds of people will decide to hang around and will drive off everyone else; you'll have a nazi bar

  • Also not all people share your political opinions.

    how are you going to call "this group shouldn't have the rights that everyone else has" something as quaint as a "political opinion"

  • on one hand, reddit gold is useless and a waste of money imo

    other hand, they just keep going for making the most controversial decisions with zero thought lmao

  • then the question is why the hell did you make an account on an instance that doesn't want to interact with NSFW content (presumably it's in their rules) when you want to interact with NSFW content; like I don't see why you'd do that if you knew the rules beforehand

  • it's one of the biggest instances, not really surprising that bad actors are targeting it

  • you know that this "I don't care that this person holds bigoted beliefs and thinks that some people shouldn't have rights, they make the good computer program so who cares" attitude is why so many people think that tech guys are reactionary, right?
