Reddit might still have more content, but it’s been overwhelmed by noise. Lemmy might have less, but I don’t have to sift to find it.

Doing those things didn’t make you and bad person.

Being a bad person made you do those things.

Change the person that you are, and you won’t have more of these regrets in the future.

Believe you me, I’ve been trying for years. Tribalism runs too deep in the human condition for there to be any obvious fix.

It’s not paranoia, I put on a white shirt two hours ago and it’s already stained.

It’s the ‘default’ instance so you see a lot of default behaviors.

Not from within the “comment reply” action, sadly.

The law does not currently prevent me from doing anything I want to do.

I wasn’t sure, I’m in the Ask muni on both.

users on their instance, not users from their instance. This account is from midwest.social but currently commenting on… uh, lemmy.world, right?

It’s spammy.

Because it is the duty of parents to support their children, and this is desirable for the purposes of a stable society, and the purpise of law is to protect the stability of society?

I have a lot of original content, mostly Tom Swifty jokes here on lemmy at !tomswifty@midwest.social

Three words:

Bizarre public art!

I got a lot of help from HUD and FHA when I bought my house. I couldn’t have afforded to buy and renovate my home when I did without that program, which is only for first-time buyers. The program also helps housing supply by renovating unfit older buildings into usable housing stock.

So, at least in the US in general and Chicago specifically, gov’t is doing things to help first-time buyers.

Twenty, even fifteen years ago I would’ve said Windows Notepad / vim. Now I rarely use basic text editors.

I don’t think there’s any technology that can never be superseded.

So, in this hypothetical we have a time machine, and can see not just if Dems lose but also what the consequences of that loss are. Further GOP court-packing? Loss of human rights for other vulnerable groups? Or maybe just a continuation of the status quo? With the time machine, we would know. Because the Dems winning or losing is not a good or evil in itself, but the consequences could be.

But, real word time now, we can’t know all the consequences of our actions. We should always try to achieve the best results we can, of course, but you can’t do something you know is wrong (like stay silent on trans rights) in the hopes that an evil now will lead to a greater good later, or prevent a greater evil. That’s my take, but what else can you expect from a virtue ethicist?

Best Coast is very fun.

Sounds great! I’ll keep adding tracks as I think of them. Liked that Astropol track, BTW.

Jenny Lewis — “Head Underwater”

Cordelia’s Dad — “Little Speckled Egg”

Cracker — “Guarded by Monkeys”

Freelance Whales — “Generator ^ First Floor”

Minus the Bear — “Let’s Play Guitar in a Five Guitar Band”

You’re gonna share the playlist when you’re done, right?

This one might be too mainstream, but:

Iron & Wine — “Woman King”
