I think the issue is with normalizing unhealthy bodies. idc how you look as long as you’re healthy, but society is becoming increasingly accepting of obviously unhealthy lifestyles and bodies. It’s no better than anorexia.

Our society doesn’t cater to them. They decided that public schools weren’t good enough so they went and made their own. I completely agree with them, public schools do suck.

People shouldn’t be allowed to choose a better education for their children? Private schools aren’t hurting anybody.

Every instance is left leaning, it’s Lemmy

What options are there really other than capitalism, communism, and everything that mixes the two?

Communism will save the environment.

This isn’t what most houses are like in the US. Sure, there’s a lot like them, but places that don’t have a strong HOA (most places) become very diverse after a while. My home was built in the 60s and was initially very similar to the ones around it. Over time each house gets changed little by little and every house becomes unique.

They do if it gets them assaulted and their $3,500 toy stolen.

We continue to yell. Tradition is important in my family.

Lemmy’s not an alternative to Twitter, it’s an alternative to Reddit. It’s not even terribly great at that either because of Reddit’s sheer size.

I’d say that the vast majority of people on Twitter couldn’t care less about Elon Musk himself. However, Twitter is actually going downhill now and the only ads I see anymore are either hardcore porn or scams. That’s what’s going to drive people off Twitter.

There is literally no other realistic alternative too it; they’re simply all too small. I still follow many trusted news sources and politicians on it as well as fandoms.

I don’t think it should be an instance decision. The best part about the fediverse is that we can pick and choose what we want to see.

Why should there not be right wing subs? Would we not just be becoming like Reddit by banning them?

They aren’t for anybody in rural areas. You can’t have a train going to every single farm.

$200 a week is easily enough for a family of 4. I have no idea how you even get to this level.

The exception now is that people go into 80k debt expecting to easily pay that off with a job that matches their major. If they switch to something more fulfilling, there’s a chance that they won’t make enough to pay it off in a timely manner. The main thing this applies to is engineering.

Slavery most definitely is allowed by the Jewish and Christian God. Genocide is much trickier, as there is still debate about certain wording and whether or not genocide actually happened at the time. Overall, the consensus is that genocide is bad at current times either because all genocide is bad or because God does not condone current genocides.

Everything ebbs and flows, but on the wider scale of things crime is down and life expectancy is up.
