lemmy is part of a horizontally scaling network of instances (servers). if a popular community on an instance goes sideways… say because of a new terrible mod or rule change, the entire population of that community can up and move to a new community in another instance without having to create new accounts anywhere.

this has already happened a few times.

every religion was created by man to control man. to give credence to the slippery slope of divinity is to allow the eventual removal of responsibility from human beings.

religion is a disease, even if ‘mostly benign’.

religion is itself a slippery slope greased with fantasy and hope created by men. when their major tomes require interpretation, any meaning useful to the con artist can be derived.

yeah but its all going downhill because of people like them. christians are complicit in the demise of democracy.

theyre causing their own doom so they can point it out. if they didnt exist, the world would be a better place.

theres a great meme somewhere where the rapture happens and the world is an amazingly better place for it.

the only reason would be to prevent impersonation

i figured that machine started running shortly after nixon

american, european… looks like youve covered 10% of the worlds population there. hardly ‘the world’

this is faux outrage. they dont really care as when the crash hits, they can continue buying up everything at a reduced price.

this is theater to appease rednecks

its not about safety. its about rate of change.

humans in their present form have existing for over 100,000 years. to state that the rate of change between generations has always been the same is just incredibly wrong.

i went to subway recently… the sandwich place. holy hell what a pile of expensive dogshit.

i would guess size and population densities, and government stabilization. what country is ‘south america’ ?

theres more people in a larger area in a much more stable form of government allowing those socio-economic realities to exist far longer.

ie the united states is super racist.

its because slavery.

early u.s. was created on the notion that black people werent people. when those that made money on that being fact were forced to think otherwise, it almost ripped the country in half.

that animosity… the desire for non whites to be considered not people did not just suddenly vanish. its festered in america. it is ingrained. it is the ‘southern heritage’ talked about in whispers (and now out loud) with the new fascist takeover of america.

a full 50% of america still hates the fact that non-whites are treated as people.

cooooool mbin automatically formats it to a local link: must be new in v1.80

its because conservatives lack empathy. theres literally no other reason.
