Reports out of Tehran, military commanders could not stop laughing for long enough to mount a serious retaliation.

I hope those things end up some where people will appreciate them. Knowing the republicans they’ll probably sabotage every vehicle out of spite.

Why would you post such an obvious and easily verifiably false statement.

Whenever you see this word replace it with “sales people”.

They’re enthusiasts, and so the initial wave of press from the Robotaxi release will be gushingly positive as Tesla sales people enthusiastically record the experience

Post-national wealth is the thing they’re distracting us from. They’re more powerful than countries. They’ve basically bought the worlds superpowers. The axis of power is not nations anymore but collectives of oligarchs. As it stands it’s apparently the Russia, China, and America regions with billionaires toying the world like a board game.

Then leave them alone to nuke themselves.

I only use reddit anymore for the meta. It’s like a zoo. Its users are scarcely self-aware. I know this is conceited but whatever.

I think lemmy being a reddit clone is rather ill-fated but at least for now people generally still post like real human beings. There’s something strange about how dialog is basically an algorithm. Reddit is reached some sort of maximum where nothing you can possibly say will deviate the flow of comment sections from the pre-defined talking points. It’s like they’re all stuck in neurotic thought cycles.

There’s a video with Trevor Noah and John Stewart where they talk about how social media is a performance. It’s not a “town square” or whatever. It’s not really honest in good faith dialog.

That’s just another way of saying “move fast and break things”.

I had a feeling this post is race bait. Apparently nobody actually read the body anyways and are responding to the title.

This is exactly how voat died. There may have been an ounce of legitimacy early on. It veered into blatant far right accounts posting every top post. It’s obvious this kind of thing happens on lemmy too. Especially on certain instances. For now at least the federation model appears to be doing its thing.

Thiel funded reddit. He’s had his hands in it since 2014.
