lysistrata suggests that this won’t work; but then again we’re in strange times and i think that warrants throwing everything at the wall and going with whatever sticks.

south korea has a history of brutal crackdowns; this takes balls to do and so publicly.

throw in a couple of if/then blocks for balance and make sure that the same lines are copied and pasted further down in the source to be used again. lol

just like religion; you gotta indoctrinate them while they’re young & impressionable so that they will more easily accept your biases as reality; otherwise they’ll be corrupted by information from unapproved sources like tiktok

i usually shag when i go to mexico too. lol

nevertheless i don’t doubt that you’re right.

colorado felt like another silicon-valley-ish niche to me so this makes sense, but i’m surprised to hear about the work perspective because the people i worked with in colorado tended to have more socially conservative views than my californian colleagues complete w an early-to-bed-early-to-rise work ethic.

the denver-boulder area, in person, is hard to distinguish from places like austin if not for the climate and geography; the general attitudes of strangers towards me made that place no different than anywhere in texas for me.

i liked their cameo in one of the recent wolverine movies; it’s nice seeing that they’re as equally reviled by moderates as they are by leftists.

i prompted it the other day to find out what paperwork i need for same day registration for the election; i think it’s use for general information is better than for programming.

i bet the cartels leave them alone since they;re the target demographic.

i need to find a new daily driver too and it makes me sad since none of the other browser projects i’ve tried seem up to par so far.

… It is your task to educate yourself and build consciousness and organization among the members of your community

i wish democrats where living by this ethos rather than shutting out constructive criticism; maybe kamala could have won.

i would vote for bernie in 2028 over newsome.

I loathed it. With passion.

did you loath it while you were reading it?

I became aware of that when the startrek instance shadow banned me for trying to convince them against defederating w hexbear.

Why do you have to call me out so publicly like that?!!! Lol

I’m so glad that reddit’s enshitification led me to Lemmy; seeing things that describe our situation but written generations ago makes it clear that we’re all running this rat race and that we’ll keep doing it until a Star Trek like sea change of cultural attitudes changes things and like Star Trek; it’s the trekkies who are trekkies’ worst enemy and preventing that sea change.

Hexbear is aggressively trans friendly; that makes even less sense for a social conservative to show up there.

Have you encountered conservatives on Lemmy?

Lemmy was originally intended as a tankie safe space and they still hold most of the reigns (for now) so I always assumed that precluded conservatives from joining our ranks.

Very much so; it’s unequivocalbly childish
