You can get solar panels for like $100-$200 on Amazon right now. Nice ones. The price of them dropped like a fucking rock since China got involved.

Deep comment trees are bugging out and either duplicating previously displayed comments or loading forever, not loading up the comments I'm trying to see. Can any admin contact the Lemmy dev team and ask them to fix it?

🤔 We need solar-electric cruise lines, and solar-electric yachts. If the rich were forced to go electric, it would help solve a lot of problems.

So how can we continue to pretend we have rights when these "rights" can be taken away from us at any time, on the whim of an evil police officer or judge or DA, and we are turned into chattel slaves when they do? We don't seriously have rights if we actually can be legally turned into chattel slaves at any time for any reason.

Jail is a terrible idea and is inherently inhumane. We can punish people in better ways. Jail never should have been allowed to become a thing.

Watch them do it and then watch me cry :(

That and people could make versions for niche genres. Like a Bookwyrm for westerns or one for romances, or one for sci-fi. Or one for NSFW stuff.

Walmart doesn't sell guns anymore. They stopped because of the BLM uprising back in 2020.

That being said... I don't really support violence or a violent revolution, but I am wise enough to have empathy for those that do. It really does seem like that tree of liberty is in need of watering.

I really feel like economic solutions would be more effective. They can't argue against who owns the land. What I really don't understand is why it is no one goes to the feds -- the FBI would probably help.

It's not really, it's pretty weak, and we can tell from the way he speaks of (people he views as) his opponents. If it was strong, he wouldn't have to call names or insult those he's seeking to convince, or try to bully them. I've seen that sort of thing many many times in my life. Honestly, people should treat his and the arguments of anyone who resorts to ad hom and abusive behavior as sus.

This is way too reductive, insulting, and patronizing to be a valid argument. Yes, there are hurdles, but hurdles can and should be overcome. The future of the nation depends on it. And you cannot seriously continue to intimidate everyone else to kowtowing to a bunch of bullying racists simply because they have weapons, which most Americans can easily procure.

If you're not willing to respect anyone else, no one else should respect you.

True. That's lobbying I can get behind

Utah managed to do it and they're doing just fine.
