Fruit is less expensive, though.

Do you understand how fucking convoluted and bureaucratically insane the US H1B visa system is?

And everyone on lemmy.ca follows community guidelines? Let's be realistic. It's a few bad actors (that we've already isolated!), just ban them.

Their community policy is explicitly against the actions described in this post.

This seems like it could have been solved at the instance level by banning some emojis... So I guess I'm confused?

I still don't agree with censoring political views that we disagree with. It's a slippery slope, especially when these are REAL people that DO exist. They deserve to have their voice heard, even if it's so they can be shit on.

Edit: is there no way to block individual users without defederation? It sounds like taking the nuclear option against a few bad actors. We should want to have our worldview challenged since that's a core component of democracy.

The problem is that our government's neoliberal policies will never develop social housing on its own.

The government doesn't think that's the right thing to do because it's the job of the corporations, but that's a mistake.

Pissing off the rest of Asia in 3... 2... 1...

Japanese demilitarization post-WW2 kept relations stable and happy. What will this do?

As your income increases, your ability to reduce taxable income also increases. The goal of the state is basically to target the lazy.

If they could line the pockets of the MBTA, that would be great thanks.

Then, idk, sell the lunch program on a semester-by-semester basis and offer subsidies for students who can't afford it? It isn't rocket science.

On the other hand, what if the problem is simply one that's no longer important for most people? Isn't technological advancement supposed to introduce abstraction that people can develop on?

I mean, you were never blocked from replacing ICs. Most people just didn't have the capability to solder. Today, IC replacement is blocked by hardware DRM.

Hey, that's fine.

"We did the best with what we had and we now know that to have been the wrong decision"

But again, decisions aren't facts. Misrepresenting facts should be decoupled from the resulting decision.

Except... That's not what democracy relies on. Democracy relies on discourse of views, even if they are unpopular. Tolerating only the prevailing opinion isn't a democracy, it's an autocracy.

It's not an admission of intent, but an admission of fact: that your statement was false.

This isn't unique to the far-left, though. It's a problem throughout the entire political spectrum.

It's rather dangerous to be creating echo chambers in a democracy, though. Democracy lives off of discourse between opposing views.

Nazi wannabes with 13% of the vote...

I mean, it's not like China is only working with AfB. They recently invited School to Beijing.

I mean... It's not like there's not a standing invitation for Germany's current government. Is building diplomatic ties not permissible if the party isn't currently in power?

Better fucking tell the Republicans to get out of Canadian politics, then.

I mean, fine? Still introducing housing supply, even if it's for rentals.

Aren't conservatives supposed to be, y'know, fiscally conservative? Why turn down a more affordable option for power generation?
