Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?

Even federation isn’t a permanent solution. Mark my words, users will eventually act like changing instances is a high cost.

What if it’s not a meaningless thoughts and prayers, but a call to action involving both the poster and the reader?

I strongly suspect someone has informed her that her screenshot is making the rounds, even if she hasn’t visited this website specifically.

Steelman argument: There are just as many of them holding their noses and voting for fascists because of FPTP. They just have far fewer anti-fascist candidates against FPTP.

Fair argument: What do you call someone who only voted for Hitler because they didn’t like Hindenburg? A Nazi.

Then I’m still missing the point, sorry! I may have misinterpreted your grammar so much as to get an entirely different message.

I think the phone lady and car guy are making a suggestion, not a demand. Why is it bad if they’re suggesting others vote for seatbelts, or unionize, or protest or whatever, when they still drive a car? Letter-writing like you suggest is far more effective in droves than when it’s one ignorable weirdo.

Even collective action is tiring and you can’t do everything; it’s just not reasonable to expect others to go at every problem unilaterally or not at all.

Are you bolding other to imply that the person making the suggestion won’t participate in collective action as well? Unilaterally you’ll exhaust yourself and accomplish a lot of nothing. You’ll get a lot more done with other people on your side.

When the effort or sacrifice correlates with Lemmy hobbies:

it’s the tiniest sacrifice, simply use a Fairphone

For people good at other things:

I updated my Fairphone and now it’s bricked

There’s a million different unilateral sacrifices expected of us, and not everybody is good at the same stuff. The issue raised is with testing for unilateral sacrifice when the person is suggesting much more effective collective action. All those tiny sacrifices will simply exhaust you to little effect.

It turns out colorblind is good enough

Compatability is the only reason to use Windows anymore. If they had to compete for best distribution, then they’d rapidly lose customers.

Good point let’s buy less from Xi

Lowest common denominator. Lots of people don’t like meat or olives.

The article appears to list multiple things.

My opinion based on zero research is that salt water is hell for mechanisms.

Bankruptcy for me, not for thee.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

Whenever I go on one of my anti-car rants and somebody defensively announces they’re a car guy, ready to fight, I just explain that I’m the traffic. The roads should be left to the car guys. It literally always goes over smoothly. Suddenly, they like train infrastructure because it frees up the scenic mountain roads.

It’s teacher handwriting, which is alien script to them.
