I don't know enough about using Lemmy. Is there a way to identify alt accounts? Do you have to do IP tracking or something technical like that?

Imagine if there was a terrible mixup and it was you that got sent to spider heaven!

Is there some workable definition of left and right? The terms have lost all meaning to me.

It like they're blanket terms for "everyone I agree with and everyone I disagree with", and the ambiguity makes it really divisive.

"You are X and I hate all people who are X". It seems bizarre that as the world has become more nuanced we've grown comfortable using such reductive terms.

(Not a criticism of your comment btw. I upvoted you. Just pondering this)

Sure. But what about those memories?

I was in America the other day and I saw a guy passed out on the street choking on his own vomit. Nobody stopped to help.

I guess it's too bad he didn't need a truck

Forced Benefits Institute?

That description reminds me of the way Guillermo del Toro described the vampires in The Strain. Makes me wonder if theres some symbolism about them he was referring to

Ooooh! I've got a thing for this:

My friend runs it each year. His pictures are nuts

To be fair it earned the hype. GTA 5 was released in 2013, spanned three console generations and set a bunch of records along the way.

Will GTA 6 live up to it? Who knows. But in an age where people lose their minds over sporting events that repeat every year, GTA 6 has earned its spot as one of the most anticipated games ever made.

Do you think he did anything else while PM or is that list the sum total of how you'll remember his premiership?

Also... Do you reckon there's a future in which the UK PMs actions on all these issues are closer aligned to what you'd want?

Just sharing a thought in case you're open to it.

Its great reading threads where people debate and counter each other. It can change and shape my opinions on all kinds of subjects. But when the threads just name calling it feels kind of gross, and is a real put off the opinions being shared.

You seem to know the subject, so I'll bet you've got some really interesting points you could share. I'd love to see a tidbit on how the founding fathers did this intentionally.

Any chance you could share a couple to help give some background to your point.

It's such a modern problem, clearly we need some new solutions. Maybe verified, none anonymous social media is at least part of that solution.

I'm not saying that all social media should be verified accounts. But if everything becomes bots run by EvilCorp, then there's nothing left for the rest of us.

As far as I know there's nothing about the Fediverse that protects us from EvilCorps bots
