If anybody reading this is voting against Biden because of Palestine (effectively a vote for trump under fptp) these are trumps #1 fans and bill payers

Pro trump is not pro Palestine.

And how many corporations force people to come downtown into offices, and either through fossil fuel emissions or tire particulate, pump carcinogens into high traffic/high population areas? If we want to reduce corporate pollution then we should plan to reduce it across the board, and not allow these real estate companies to dictate WFH.

The responsibility to transition to a sustainable world isn’t on the people. But it is the people’s responsibility to ensure their government is legislating issues like this properly. Failure to do so is letting down all future generations. This summer shows the results of 50 years of failing to face these issues head on and instead allowing profits to influence legislation. One of those influences is to force cars on people.

I understand you like your cars but I believe most people only have their cars for these reasons: to get necessities, go to work, and maybe childcare. And many can’t afford the gas to go much further. If more neighborhoods were designed to human scale, so you could walk or ride a bike to access the peoples common needs, that would make living much more affordable and sustainable for many.

Okay then both our assumptions were wrong. Again just because cars are your hobby doesn’t mean we should design our society in a way that both assumes and forces car ownership on people. On top of the economics of every household needing at least access to one car, it is literally making our planet unlivable.

Culture is as culture does. Cars shouldn’t need to be a necessity for all because some people like them. Does minimum wage afford all Americans a new car today, on top of rent? You’ve been too entrenched in justifying your expensive car loan to yourself.

What made cars so central to being an American? I work from home in a rural area, and I need a car. I can’t walk to the grocery store because they built it too damned far away down a dangerous road. So what could I walk to? “Convenience” stores owned by the same companies that run the grocer except it’s all marked up for the convenience. And My employers downtown office doesn’t make business sense for the one time a month they make me drive down there, and the easiest solution, obviously, is to give me a few days notice that I’ll be in office indefinitely.

From then on there’ll be nothing more American than wasting my life on some stretch of highway with parked cars for miles in front of me, waiting to get to the same exit as everybody else, and then waiting to get through the same lights as they are, so I can get to my house that’s one street away from where they’re going.

Maybe we should critically re-examine what our parents were advertised into believing is the most American thing ever. Before the environmental collapse, please.

Why a penny? Did you put a penny in this door? If I find a penny in this door I’m taking you down.

See my other comment. I think that wall of doubt is consciously or subconsciously knowing that if they agree with you, have a realization, and their thinking changes, they will stick out and face getting that same cold shoulder from their friends, family, and community forever. Peer pressure is very real, especially in rural places where there aren’t too many peers to choose from.

I grew up around and still live with these people. Let me tell ya how they think: They don’t. They don’t even really know what a liberal is.

To them a liberal is something other than them. And the ingroup they’ve spent their whole lives trying to fit into says that’s bad, so they are against liberals and everything they do and say and want. But so is everyone they know, so they’ll oppose liberals even louder and more extreme, in a bid to get noticed by their peers at work, church, family, and party.

And of course they’re right, liberals are shit. But they don’t know why, because again they Do. Not. Know. What. A. Liberal. Is.

And if they ever figure it out and outgrow the childish mentality of opposing without understanding, they will be outcast from their friends, family, and community. And that is the fear that keeps them lockstep in line, voting for the apocalypse.

Is that the joke? That i farted and nobody threw up?

you won’t be drowned out by the 2.7K+ tounge in cheek one liner comments because everybody is a comedian on Reddit.

But doctor, I am pagliacci.

Right there with you. I use —reddit— lemmy on my phone on the go. I want a button in a consistent place that opens it quickly.

I open my browser, oops I was looking at another tab I’ll just go through my tabs to find the specific website I’m looking for this time. At that point the browser is just its own app picker inside of another app picker. I have even added links to my Home Screen as well, but I’ve run into many issues with opening loads of dupes and clogging up my tabs. Maybe browser works in a perfect world (or even just a world where I save links in pocket or something instead of tabs idk) but it kind of just seems like an app browser with extra steps. Browser elitists do themselves no favors acting high and mighty about literally just not having an app? About saving 70MB like it’s 1999? Idk it’s a dumb argument. Everybody’s solution works for them.
