Thank you for setting the record straight. Von Trapp is punk af. His whole vibe is NAZI PUNKS FUCK OFF


I appreciate your well thought out response to my rashly made comment. Also I looked through some rat park comics and I agree with their and your sentiments. Addiction is complex, and placing all the blame of addiction on the person is not just incorrect, but cruel and unhelpful. The thought process behind my comment was this: if environment, opportunity, and healthcare (also access to resources and just general compassion) are the ways to remedy addiction, than addressing drug problems by killing (alleged) drug traffickers or starting a trade war with china is completely off base. An addict WILL find their fix. I can also empathize with the need to ‘turn off the faucet’ of drugs in order to address the crisis levels of addiction in certain places, but to remove the drugs without also providing massive care\aid\resources is not going to solve the problem.


You have optimism. It could be used for good like you describe, but most likely will be used by EA to cut artists out, slash costs, make as much profit as possible and suffocate the company until the private equity owners move on to the next company.


You blame everyone except the people who want drugs.


True that we are twisting his words, but also true that Mamdani has stated that he would order the arrest of Netanyahu if he were to enter NYC. There could be a question similar to “would you support\enforce the arrest orders of the ICC and NYC mayoral office”. Again I agree that we are twisting his words, but I think Mamdani is twisting his own words in order to form a “big tent” of support that contains opposing ideas.


Maybe supporting the ethnic cleansing of Palestine means one is not qualified for public service


I’ve found some super cool niche communities using the ‘random community’ search, which i think is a Voyager app specific option cause I’m not seeing it on desktop. I definitely recommend the Voyager app


Subscribe to communities and/or utilize the ‘random’ search to find communities (be warned that nsfw stuff up though if your setting isnt filtered). Sort by new sometimes. Lemmy is more user-directed whereas reddit is company-directed. No more force-feeding you sponsored content - you can search out and eat what you like!


This is the kind of discourse I am here for

I think the modern consolidation of digital age mass media has been novel in that the media isn’t just newspapers, magazines, or tv. In the past, it was consolidation of print media, because there was no internet or tv. Then came consolidation of tv media, which was probably easier because the delivery method was already oligarch-owned. Internet opened up all new means of mass media, and they weren’t necessarily oligarch owned when they began i.e. blogs and apps and all that. First, the blogs/sites/apps had to gain a following. Only then were they ripe for takeover because they had reach. So I guess then…yea…once it becomes mass media it is taken over, so maybe I am agreeing that all mass media is right/oligarch owned. On the rise to becoming ‘mass’ media, though, not necessarily.


microfluidic cooling has also been a hot topic in power electronics for some years now. Higher power density materials (GaN, SiC…) allow for miniaturization of the devices, but then the bigass heatsinks offset the improvement, so microfluidics are developing quickly.
