Based on what I've seen on Lemmy in the last three days, I am statistically likely to be a bot. I can't argue with that.
I'm being serious though. I can name every person in Trump's cabinet. I know everything about his policies, some I disagree with, some I don't. I can't name a single Democrat other than Harris and Biden. No one posts anything positive about them.
...as far as Lemmy goes, the community is more obsessed with Trump than the people on Truth Social.
...Reddit is the opposite of Republican. The people there are aggressively far left. It is hard to believe that it's not an artificially enforced echo chamber.
The problem with echo chambers is that they are politically sterile. By aggressively forcing Republicans and moderates off the platform, we lose the ability to influence their stances and opinions. It becomes a circle jerk.
Testosterone administration is more illegal pharmaceutical use then it is a fad diet. It's also not particularly dangerous. The safety profile is similar to hormonal birth control.
I wouldn't want to shut down the simulation, but it would depend on the energy expenditure. A hospital could theoretically save more people if they allocated fifty million dollars per patient. A person's right to life is contingent on the cost to maintain it.
Born again woman?
...I don't think I've ever met a man in real life that ate a fad diet. They eat hamburger helper and take out.
It could be better, but even the person with crippling medical debt lives luxuriously relative to the global norm. I think it could be better, but I think it's important to understand exactly how much we have.
Where we got our excess resources is also relevant. I think it's important to understand the exact role that weapons manufacturers and corporate chronies play in bolstering our lifestyles. At the end of the day, I don't think the average citizen wants to know.
...I think men would be more interested in having a child without a woman that can seize both the child and your paycheck on a whim. A sperm donor is a lot cheaper than a surrogate.
If we had sustainable practices, at least of 3rd of the people in the United States and Western Europe would have a standard of living similar to the people in 3rd world country. This is assuming we don't compensate for things by exploiting more vulnerable populations.
I personally think this is a decent trade-off, but the people my country would end up exploiting would probably disagree.
On my All feed, Trump is specifically mentioned in the title of 7 out of the first 38 posts. This doesn't account for the posts that are primarily about Trump, but don't include his name in the title. 0 out of 38 of the posts are about Democrats or Democrat policy. The only other politician mentioned in the first 38 post titles is DeSantos (1).
