We’re already well past that point…

Good point. In fact if someone is taking physics, it’s probably too late actually.🤯😰🤢

Oh y-y-yeah, well I eat twice as much - no ten times as much - cheese as you! That’s 180% 900% cheesy!

He was lucky to have been attacked by the axe - the sword or bow would have really hurt!!

No it couldn’t.

Must resist temptation to ask wHy NoT bOtH… (for mutually exclusive possibilities)

Perhaps the best ones?

It does incur quite the cost though, if only in initial set-up time, so I can see where some people may have a desire to avoid it, for a time.

You is kind, you is smart, you is important.

Thank goodness for the Explain XKCD link!

The link is not worth the ad-infested click btw, mentioning neither Lemmy nor “Lemme”, just calling beans as “viral TikTok trends”.

Even we quite often use Cloud flare. Those who resisted at first often changed their mind after getting hit with bot scraping DNS attacks. It’s not trivially easy to deploy alternatives.

One money, as requested.

Uses AI to insert small Mexican gril… what could go wrong?

Oof, too soon…

This post would have been better tagged as NSFL imho.

I also see how we all are mistaken, in some way or another. Including “them” - “them” is also “us”, in so many ways. Possibly not the ones that count, but then again I’ve been wrong so many times before that I no longer hold onto my ideals as tightly as I once did.

And as for judgement… yes they are wrong, but we are hypocrites as well, e.g. for both wishing that the Fediverse would grow, while simultaneously (1) not welcoming anyone into it (even / especially those of us already here), and (2) also not putting forth the requisite efforts to generate the very content that we would wish to see for ourselves. Our mods work to the point of exhaustion (a great example being lemm.ee), and our content creators too.

We cannot have and be literally all things, especially all at once.

Right… (but remember they don’t know that!), hence “centrists” (aka right-wingers, even if they think they are “left”-leaning) do not feel welcomed here.

And most of the people within this space seem okay with that.

I’m just saying what it is, not how it should be. They do not feel welcomed, we don’t want to change that, hence the situation remains as it is now, and will not change.

And they will vote Republican. With Facebook, X, and Reddit feeding their social media connections. And nothing will change.

You may choose to feel superior and schadenfreude if you wish, but for me I choose to feel sadness, and reluctant acceptance that there is nothing I can do to change any of it.

And if anyone tries to look at content in “leftist” spaces, primarily they notice the calls for everyone in the Western world to be murdered… which seems to reinforce the narrative that leftists are bloodthirsty and gunning for the end of the (in this case United States of American) government. Which, since you use Lemmy, you know is at least partially valid (as in, some do not for sure, but very many people very much do). Which makes them afraid and more likely to be reassured by thoughts of order, since the system (mostly, for now) works in their favor.

Put another way, whereas the left eats its own, the right bands together, to achieve a common goal, usually as protection against a common foe.
