Except minority rights (including, but not limited to LGBTQ+, especially T), healthy immigration policy, right to abortion, fair economic policy, environmental policies, and a million other things.
Let's just start with the fact that American political system is super skewed to begin with and no actual left has any power.
Dems are highly pro-capitalist, moderately nationalist and merely call to strike a bit less horrible balance between the interests of people and businesses. This is not left, this is a bit better right.
This fallacy keeps people trapped in an idea that the only possible options are "good" ultra-capitalism and "greedy" ultra-capitalism, which is not true.
People that try to have "both sides heard" totally ignore that there are way more than two angles in this conversation and that Dems are not some sort of a political extreme. Reps, ironically, kinda are.
And Democrats often think they vote for something actually good, when it's actually just a lesser evil. Keep that in mind, no matter what you decide.
He does directly state the latter.
Here's an archived version of the article, courtesy to TheDarkQuark@lemmy.world:
"HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point"
Without taking any sides, saying some group is insane and then saying that them lashing back "proves your point" is beyond stupid.
Like, of course they will, what else do you expect them to do? Sit and politely agree?
We should stop with this kind of BS in any sort of debate. Groups will protect themselves, and will not get polite to those who throw slurs at them; that's natural, normal and speaks nothing about their average behavior.
This never proves any point and is nothing but a dirty rhetorical device aimed to shut your opposition up and make them seem irrelevant. This is not part of any possible healthy conversation.
Also, post is not a genuine question.
I think we should stop with copium every time some change happens on Reddit.
It's not going anywhere and it's still the front page of the Internet. A few thousand folks migrating to Lemmy doesn't mean Reddit is gonna die tomorrow.
And the CEO knows that perfectly well. Spez can juice this place more and more, and people, for the most part, will eat that and stay after a tiny show of discontent.
You know what? That might be for the better. While it sucks to have less content here, we at Lemmy also have a healthier demographic, and that's something we should praise and look after.
If anything, at our best we should not spend our energy shitting on Reddit, but rather direct it to care for Lemmy. Start your cozy or important community and share it! Make new interesting posts, preferably not about Reddit or American politics - plenty of that in here. Leave useful and/or supportive comments. We can for once build our beautiful garden, not a place of powerless hate and spite.
I'm not one, but yes, pedophiles should absolutely reach out for help if possible and if they need any. I'mma play it open - I had a close person of mine opening up to me, and I did my best to research before proceeding.
I think it should be treated like "wow, okay. Hope you know that abusing children is bad, and if so, I'm here with you".
It shouldn't be a fun fact, but it shouldn't be "you sicko pervert let me shoot you" kind of situation.
Our initial offering will include ChatGPT, Google Gemini, HuggingChat, and Le Chat Mistral, but we will continue adding AI services that meet our standards for quality and user experience.
Is that the same Mozilla that started the Joint Statement on AI Safety and Openness?
What in living hell do proprietary and predatory AI services even doing here?
Mozilla just offered users to feed into the very abomination they claim to fight.
Also, for all things "AI", local is the only way to go if you ever want to have a chance at privacy.
No, due to Earth constantly moving you'll end up in space

What's the point?
We have UTC/GMT my dudes. Just count times by that and boom, no time zones. You can even remove a colon, meaning you just end up with 4 numbers, like 1700 for 17:00 UTC (5pm Greenwich time)
All you need to know is that Everylife, the company behind this campaign, is a diaper trading company that officially pushes Christianity and fights "companies that have promoted the weakening of men in American society" and that "are pushing anti-family, anti-American agendas".
This is such a fucked up combo of right-wing politics and diapers I can't even

What really is probably illegal at this point is officially calling it all "pledges", i.e. "donations", and calling ships and stuff a "reward for the generous donation".
Dudes, this is literally what a purchase is. If I don't donate, I don't get a ship (or even a base game).
This seems to be a ground to sue the hell out of them.

My admin flat out refuses to add any donation options, citing he has enough money to maintain the instance as a hobby project. Nice!
