I would argue it’s worse than reddit in terms of the average political leanings of users. I have seen overwhelmingly far far left users around here. The few reasonable moderates I’ve seen are getting downvoted for incredibly normal comments.
i think it’s gotten considerably worse since the election, which is to be expected, from both sides.
I need to go make a eudaimonia post i think.
Seriously I am very worried about the mental health of like 97% of the people on here.
im worried about the US voter populous, they seem to have left any semblance of intelligence where they were born.
You’ve met different online right wingers than me lol. Maybe you are just on left platforms. I think both sides have the full range. We just see nicer right wingers on a left platforms like lemmy. That’s the only way they’d survive lol.
this is 100% true, it’s just that the right tends to be more politically engaged and active, than the far left, because the far left is a little bit too busy swimming through its own shit half the time.
I don’t think you’re right but you make valid points on xyz
this is 100% just cope btw.
to be clear, lemmy is the equivalent of being on like, far right community forums. So it shouldnt be surprising that people are very commie coded here.
its because they’re not, anarchists are the grown up version of libertarians.
Libertarians discovered anarchism and were like “we have that at home!” and they really didn’t.
getting downvoted is my kink though. I live for takes bad enough that they just bait people, while some others realize it’s actually just satire.
maybe in a more traditionally defined sense of the word, but neo conservatism is anything but equal to tankie based behavior.
istg whoever solves this problem will win a fucking nobel prize.
i’m not conservative, by any stretch of the definition, though i do appreciate some of the more classically conservative values (none of which actual conservatives stand for ironically)
Nor am i progressive, or any flavor of communistic. Although that might change given enough problems with the US voting populace. Though not to the amusement of any lemmy users im sure,
Frankly, to be honest, i’m anti humanist right now, in my political satire arc. Take from that what you will, but if you take it the wrong thing, i will outlive you politically.
TL;DR im disappointed in everyone, you should’ve done better, you should have higher standards for yourself and your conduct, and you don’t and that makes me sad.
I mean I do agree with you. Planned obsolescence and whatnot is very real.
it’s complicated, a good example, actually probably the ideal example, of planned obsolescence is airpods. Designed to not be repaired, thrown away, and then replaced.
It can also apply to things like “lifetime” designed products, you may design something to mechanically wear out, before it needs to be maintained, or perhaps, require no maintenance, until you need to replace it. It’s harder to say whether this is strictly planned obsolescence, or just cost cutting engineering, which in the long run, probably doesn’t change much.
i think the most semantically accurate version of this would be releasing a product that is 100% good, and then a year later releasing a product that is 200% good, surpassing and replacing the previous product entirely, removing the previous product from the product line up, and only supporting the most recent product. I.E. it’s planned to become obsolete, shortly into the future.
Vehicles are also a weird market segment, they’ve gotten considerably more reliable since the early days of the automotive industry, they’ve gotten significantly more comfortable, they’ve gotten significantly more safe. They’ve also gotten several orders of magnitude more complicated since than as well. To deal with the aforementioned advances. Though there have been a lot of issues in recent manufacturing leading to parts that are just, bad.
The Xbox 360 was designed to be as annoying to take apart as possible, possibly to hide the cheap components that lead to the red ring of death…
actually, this was probably to fit it into the very weird and particular form factor that microsoft wanted it to fit in.
The red ring of death issue was actually due to faulty chip manufacturing, rather than bad cooling, it was an inevitable flaw due to manufacturing defects, rather than design failures. The heating and cooling cycles just greatly exaggerated the effect of the problem, that’s why it’s so closely linked.
Also you could’ve mentioned the update fuses in the CPU, IIRC there are fuses that are blown when the system updates, to prevent you from going back, no matter what you do.
honestly, im at a point where i’ve become anti-humanist.
The political satire is strong this year, and it shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Perhaps the world will crash and burn, who knows, exciting times we live in!
it’s very close to turning into one.
It’s not quite there, but trump is definitely not one to shy away from it, so it mostly depends on who he appoints and interacts with. And how corrupt he will be.
that’s what all my turbo nerd star wars fan friends were saying about it when it released.
I trust their judgement on media a lot more than mine, because they actually consume it, unlike me.
edit: apparently it has 3 seasons.
You don’t know what’s going on & yet make such confident remarks
yeah, that’s why i asked why we hated disney lmao, is my comment really that hard to comprehend?
I agree with you on that, and for me thats disgusting .
you know what i think is disgusting? Showing up on a public message board like lemmy, and posting your opinion, truly an outrageous thing to partake in.
I have gay friends that are almost sex predators and they talk in a way sometimes I have to stop them.
have you told them that you don’t care? Because it sounds like you haven’t told them that part yet.
You are not anyone to tell how the other needs to think.
only the truest of ironies make it to the surface. Everything else sinks in a dense sea of truth.
i have only ever seen people on the political right, incapable of understanding these sorts of concepts fully, and being either, a nuisance, or irresponsible with it.
There are definitely responsible gun owners on the right, ironically, they’re the ones that don’t talk about it on the internet, it’s primarily the ones that DO talk about it on the internet that are irresponsible, so it’s definitely some variant of observation bias, since most of these people probably aren’t being picked up by our means of detection here.
TL;DR probably don’t yap about gun ownership on the internet, it’s probably not a great look for you.
except for mandalorian?
So I guess you didn’t get the memo with Star Wars ?
star wars is just fucking boring? It’s never been particularly good. Though i hear mandalorian was actually good, so contrary to whatever schizo point you’re making here.
You seriously think that people will fall for your vile Gaslighting ? Nope
damn bro, i just don’t know what’s going on lately over at disney. I’m just trying to figure out why we think disney is the anti-christ.
Haven’t even watched a disney movie since like, zootopia.
it will come eventually, it is quite literally, a matter of time.
