Yes that is exactly what I said...

It is society's responsibility to inform protect and educate those that are less capable in order to maintain the functioning of that society. Otherwise that society breaks down and falls apart. "A rising tide raises all ships"

My point here is that we as oregonians should be doing better. Instead of adopting nationalism and referring to each other as "The Other", we should be looking at the root cause and not attacking each other's throats while the true enemy just watches and laughs at us peons doing what peons do best: Ignorantly blaming each other.

It's you that loses as well as them that's the point I'm trying to make. Giving a right wing state more voting power diminishes the voting power of Oregon.

You're willing to harm part of your own body in order to spite the other part is what my poorly worded phrase is meant to convey. You're willing to harm yourself in order to spite the eastern part of the state.

**Stop being so divisive, ultra nationalism isn't what we need here. **

The fact that you keep referring to a large portion of your state as "They", by overgeneralizing and dismissing is a classic symptom of nationalism. I already stated that it's barely 50% want this, that means that slightly less than half of your fellow oregonians are still sane and you're willing to condemn them...

Ironically this is the same kind of thought process that separatists have when it comes to their own form of nationalism.

They are welcome to try, fail, and ask to come back. But, like a shitty romantic partner, they better be on their knees when they ask, and be ready for a few changes in the relationship.

All those flyers and advertisements going around point to comments like yours as a reason why they should go to Idaho because obviously the other side of the state doesn't care about them and won't listen to them. They quote news articles and online sentiment, which is real, tangible, evidence for these people.

You are literally part of their advertising, and are providing them with content to use. This sort of narrow-minded thinking is part of the problem and you can't even see that...

Can't we celebrate a good thing?

This is why people are increasingly less willing to actually solve problems because no matter what problem you solve there is always a whole horde of people willing to criticize you for not solving it sooner or better.

Let these people suffer

Hell no what kind of cancerous divisive attitude is this?

It's barely 50% of the voters that are voting for this and they only vote for it because they've been exposed to nearly four plus years of constant propaganda about it.

Instead of shooting your own foot to spite your hand, how about we stand together as oregonians and push back against the propaganda machine that's actually driving these things?

If it gains them more political power, probably.

And none of these intellectually challenged voters realize the consequences of what that would actually mean for these counties.

It's essentially Oregon's version of brexit. With no one learning from the past.

It's exactly what it is.

It's a bunch of propaganda aimed at people in these counties that shift their opinion one piece of propaganda at a time.

I've gotten so many flyers in the mail or put on my doorstep or stuffed in my door over the last 3-4 years about this it's unbelievable.

Someone with a significant amount of money is funding this, because the advertising isn't cheap.

And they all show the same misleading information on them to convince oregonians that the grass is greener on the other side. When it most definitely isn't.

Give it time.

Butt hurt much

Please go back to Facebook, YouTube comments, or even Reddit with this petulant behavior.

No one here wants this sort of low quality, personally, attacking, bratty behavior in their discussions.

Yeah but don't let ~~reddit~~ lemmy hear you having a nuanced or thoughtful take.

Beer is expensive.

The whole point of this is to show the dad making a sacrifice for his kid.

I'm not entirely sure why you think it shouldn't?

Just because it sucks at one-shotting programming problems doesn't mean it's not useful for programming.

Using AI tools as co-pilots to augment knowledge and break into areas of discipline that you're unfamiliar with is great.

Is it useful to kean on as if you were a junior developer? No, absolutely not. Is it a useful tool that can augment your knowledge and capabilities as a senior developer? Yes, very much so.
