I'm not understanding how lemmy doesn't have karma when there's still the upvote/downvote function and profiles still mark how many votes you got for comments and posts.
Edit: Someone asked what app I'm using but I can't find the comment. I'm using Connect for Lemmy
Pretty sure any quantity of CSAM that isnt zero is bad....
That's only poor Republicans who do that. Ultimately it will line the pockets of some rich piece of shit one way or another. I hate this place.
Can confirm. My husband rides his bike all the time. That ass is why I married him. And he's nice to me lol
But not one of those super spiky ones, but the ones that have tiny hairs that are impossible to get out of your skin when you accidentally touch the cactus and hurt everytime you bump them wrong.
I honestly figured they were already doing this.
When we got union's, when we got LGBT rights, when women got the right to vote, when black people got the right to be seen as equal human beings (its a work in progress), and pretty much any other successful protest around the world. Pick one.

I dont understand how people who eat meat every single day don't feel disgusting. I feel horrible eating meat every day. I have more energy and feel lighter when I limit my meat eating to maybe once or twice a week. Plus my farts don't smell as awful when I'm eating mostly plant based things. It's cheaper too! Especially when I end up growing my own garden.
If you want to live a more peaceful and safe life, that's totally okay, but it's probably better that YOU looked into a new place to live rather than expecting society to adapt to your needs.
Addressing your last paragraph, people get nervous about that because eugenics, my dude. But really what would actually help with this would be comprehensive sexual education and affordable, easy access to birth control methods. That's an easy fix but the religious groups are holding us all back on that one.
As for your other points, you're right. Cities should be more walkable and public transit should be more reliable. But that will never happen if people don't try to fight for it (if Musk would just drop dead/shut the fuck up anytime something is being proposed). But in all the different cities I've lived in, there are little pockets of places that could feasibly walk/bike/scooter to places, but they don't. Because they don't want to. A friend of mine and her family went camping and invited us once. At the campsite, the showers were maybe a 7 minute walk away amd guess what they did? They drove. The store was 15 minutes away and they drove. They do this for the 7/11 that's a block away from their apartment. We live in SoCal which means the weather is almost always perfect. They are not the only people who do this. One of my friends drives and SUV. They're single with no children. My mom drives an SUV. Her children are grown and out of the house, what the fuck do they need those cars for?
You make very very good points, and cities and public transit are places that should be improved to lead to more walking and better, safer public transit. But there is room for personal improvement despite the shit conditions we are currently working with.
Those billionaires will flee until its safe to come back, don't be naive. We will suffer the most. Civil War is what the rich would benefit from.
