A lot of those confederate statues got built in the 1950s and 1960s during the Civil rights movement.

Doing nothing when I finally have leisure time is tough

I mean if it is a bell curve, even an average person is smarter than half the world. There’s a selection bias on social media because those heated and ignorant threads get memed and shared either by people who believe the nonsense or by outrage.

It does. Biden is able to get away with being toothless and doing things like continuing to build the border wall. It feels like his only redemption is he’s not Trump. I will vote my mind during the primaries but if it’s Biden, I’m gonna hate that I have to vote for him simply because the alternative is worse.

The fact that they got the twerk animation to be so realistic gives me confidence that they’re raising the bar and putting in the work on this game. Also every rule 34 modder is gonna take full advantage of this

That’s the thing. Chiropractic could be considered a manual treatment which is a therapeutic modality. PTs do manual therapies that are less traumatic and are one component of the musculoskeletal issues that contribute to pain that chiro claims to heal. For most situations of acute back pain they resolve in 4 to 6 weeks so even the ineffective treatments appear to help- it’s just like treatments for the common cold.

Vanguard and Blackrock. Their retirement fund allow them to have a significant share of major companies when compared to individuals

Fuck. Im surprised how much ADHD affects me and how I’ve made it this far in life without treating it. It’s like the only time I’m on point is when there’s a swinging blade over my head

It is taught and Civil Rights is taught, but we didn’t really learn about ongoing injustices against the black community (redlining and imminent domain, racial biases in the war on drugs, sund9wn towns, etc.) so US history classes painted a picture of it all being largely over with.

Yeah unfortunately it’s a subscription service now. I’m gonna try castbox and hopefully that works out.

The one thing I liked about Google podcasts was the parity between pc and android. Now I gotta find a similar podcast app to do the same

I mean gamer “boycotts” have had a history of poor staying power (L4D anyone?) I do hope enough people have left to make places like lemmy thrive. Reddit can keep folks like the commenter in the pic

Downfall was definitely the wrong word to use. I want this to be impactful and make Reddit change course, but that can only happen if enough people leave.

Part of it is the smaller base, but hopefully with more folks coming in, the different instances can help maintain that vibe

Everyone on DIY loves my kind of basic project that I posted. It’s a pleasant feeling

For sure, but I am cynical about people’s convictions when it comes to their sources of leisure and free time. I see it in all places. Folks are gonna watch the new flash even though doing so will help Miller’s career. Activision/Blizzard has proven to be horrendous and for those that don’t care about that, they also underdelivered on overwatch 2. Diablo 4, however, is the best selling game in the series. Even back in the day folks had wanted to boycott left 4 dead 2 only for them to end up buying it anyways.

Things like that make me hopeful, but my optimism is tempered.

For sure. I’m enjoying it, but reddit’s downfall really depends on how many divest from it and can join us here. I think it’ll be fine because people are coming and there will be guides to help folks navigate, but only time will tell

I’m doing my part. I hope others do an exodus and not a hiatus.
