I don’t even think the majority of American conservatives are on board with most of what’s happening anymore. Some Like almost half are, but they’re especially stupid and usually ideologically oriented to Trump rather than to the traditional brand of US conservatism.

Not with that attitude, they’re not. Back in my day we had good old-fashioned corn dogs made of every kind of dog you can imagine. German Shepherds. Dachshunds. Labrador Retrievers. Irish Wolfhounds. Greyhounds. Golden Retrievers. Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers. Border Collies. Normal Collies. Bull Dogs. Giant Schnauzers. Miniature Schnauzers. Corgis. Poodles. Airedale Terriers. Lhasa Apsos. Shihtzus. Chihuahuas. Xoloitzcuintles. But that was back when men were men and dogs were corn dogs.

Gets me every time lol

Chia cryptocurrency. My dad got into it, and the price was mooning. Gave me an excuse to build a new PC and learn linux, so I thought it was a worthwhile investment. Sunk a decent chunk of change into hard drives that I still have laying around, but I’m using several of them and have a sweet gaming rig that I would’ve built eventually anyway and had something to talk to my dad about. So basically, just out the cost of some drives. All in all, it was a calculated risk that didn’t pay off but was still fun.

That is pretty clever. Except it would already be dated since Trump attempted to get Pence lynched by an angry mob a few years back

Well of course I haven’t read Marx. Communism’s evil, duh.

Voting is an important tool to help contain fascism in liberal democracies while building serious social movements. (Socialist - but hopefully this isn’t actually unpopular with most socialists).

Most people? No, definitely not. Most Americans get vaccinated. More people than you would hope? Yeah, absolutely.

There’s so many people here who have crazy views on health and wellness generally. Juice cleanses. Chiropractic. Homeopathy. Fad diets. Faith healing. I think some of it is because people can’t afford real healthcare, but most of it is anti-intellectualism and propaganda.

That Southern US usage dates back to at least the US civil war in the 1860s.

But yankee was used to refer to at least some people in what is now the US as early as the 1660s.

“BEANIS” heh heh heh

Grab em by the vespussi

You can either use AI to just vomit dubious information at you or you can use it as a tool to do stuff. The more specific the task, the better LLMs work. When I use LLMs for highly specific coding tasks that I couldn’t do otherwise (I’m not a [good] coder), it does not make me worse at critical thinking.

I actually understand programming much better because of LLMs. I have to debug their code, do research so I know how to prompt it best to get what I want, do research into programming and software design principles, etc.

All is dependent on what instances your home instance is federated with. Federation/defederation by your home instance determines what you see in All.

Szmer.info is federated with lemmy.world, so you would be able to see politics@lemmy.world, which has US politics. Unless you’ve filtered things out of your feed, but that’s different.

Whoa that’s really odd. You might submit an issue on github, if you want: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy

Huh. Comments shouldn’t be affected, as I understand it, just posts from defederated instances won’t show up. For instance, .ml is defederated from any and all porn instances - so porn doesn’t show up in my feed. I wonder if it could be a delay in the comments showing up, not actually an absence of those comments?

Either way, plenty of good instances to join that are less defederated than .ml

The particular instance doesn’t matter too much as long as it hasn’t defederated from other instances you care about & vice versa - since you can still see, post, & interact with content from other instances. I made accounts on .ml and .dbzer0.

The peer pressure (and stupid broken updates from MS) finally got me to install linux about 8mos into using lemmy. It’s pretty great, though - wish I’d done it sooner.

Just adding to this a bit for context. Demi isn’t a sexual orientation like gay, straight, bi, etc. But it is a label for how people experience attraction within their sexual orientation. So OP if you are demi you definitely are in the minority, but you are certainly not weird. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demisexuality
