I understand your opinion, and I do agree it's the family's responsibility to hold people accountable. However, there is a time and a place for everything.

I firmly disagree that family bonding time during holiday is the time for it. And that feeling is mostly shared throughout my immediate family.

I personally wouldn't attend family gatherings that were containing political talks, to be honest, It spits in the face of the entire point of family bonding time to try to be pushing a political sway and goes against the entire point of meeting for holiday which is family time bonding and having fun.

those type of subjects generally cause more tension or isolation than bonding. So are better off as a more one-on-one than an entire family thing. A one-on-one also allows it to feel more organic. Someone is going to be way less receptive to any reasoning if they're being put on the spot during a family dinner than if you were to just approach them during casual free time. Results caused by peer pressure rarely work out in the long run, in order to discuss opposing views, you need to keep the person you're talking to open for discussion.

Personally, I feel isolating out the family members who can't separate their political identity from their person is more than adequate for keeping family time as a bonding time instead of an infomercial/trying to pursuade people on differing opinions while getting the point across quite nicley.

I feel I'm missing a joke somewhere here. I'm leaning that you are talking about the blatently corrupt bribery stim packages that were promised if a specific side got in during US midterms? If so Love it

you initiated the reply with a goalpost move what did you expect it to be ignored? Either way I think you are trolling me so I'm disengaging.

For context on their claim(which I had edited prior to their comment as it didn't really matter to the post): My original reply stated that just because someone is slightly right doesn't mean they molest kids. It had no place in the comment as it doesn't matter the reason: Politics have zero place at family time.

Different scenario so therefore different rules. It may surprise some people on Lemmy but, not everyone that has a different political orientation is molesting children or some other extremity. Shocker I know.

There's a time and a place for politics for either side. Family time isn't one. We don't want to be associated with people who can't respect that. Regardless of political orientation.

Our families invite process is fairly simple. If you can't last family time during holiday without talking politics, you aren't invited. I think that's a fairly healthy ask. I think only one person was excluded from family planning/gathering due to it, but thankfully the feeling was mutual because they couldn't isolate their political side from their actual personality and as such didn't want to be in an environment where they couldn't talk politics anyway.

yea black friday pricing havent been worth it since pre-pandemic. around that time they started increasing the price of product about 2-3 times about a month or two prior that way they can show a "30% off" deal, that way you can spend 270% of the price instead of 100% of the price.

Then they used the lack of event sales as the excuse of why it isn't worth doing decent black friday deals because shocker, as it turns out if someone is buying a high ticket item, chances are they have done the research and have been wanting it, so therefore than can see the TV worth 200$ being sold at 300$ at a 30% off is just a pure scam.

It's also the reasoning that many retailers sell specific event merchandise using its own UPC. They don't want the consumer being able to do the research to see they are being ripped off.

they posted the original on the cross post comments for it. There's too many emojis for my phone to want to be able to copy.

edit: link to it

I didn't actually realize people still sent copypastas. Like I've always seen the filters on messaging and like auto mod stuff, but I've never actually seen anyone do it in like 15-20 years now so I actually had stopped enabling those type of filters.

I'm not disappointed about that though, I don't feel like I've lost anything of value.

man I love that they are ditching electron but, they "just" fixed the discord linux client to properly update and now they are rehauling it? can't wait to get this update 3 years from now.

For anyone else coming across it, it looks like they also hid the revisions as "disruptive" so the edits as a whole don't show in revision history anymore but you can see the revision visibility edit on the actual page logs.

oh no it would be allowed. but it would be designed similar to spaceX's share policy. Voting is allowed as long as he personally either is indifferent or wants the change, but the second he doesn't want the change his single vote will override the majority.

Neither; I don't care about either of them. Any remote interest in GTA I had died when they announced the banned Proton support on 5, then they announced the price just to be sure.
