(your) life is less important than (doing what I tell you)
It never applies in the same way to the people who are doing the telling. Only to the ones being told.

But the author of the article actually conflates research and economical growth. That's why I was discussing the problems that come up when you only focus on economic growth.
What? It looks to me like the article is focusing almost exclusively on research, not on economic growth. There's some stuff in the first two paragraphs about setting the economic context, and a passing mention much later of academic inequality seeming to produce a corresponding economic inequality, but as far as I can tell, the main thrust of his point is very much focused on the research side and independent from anything it means on the economic side. Where is he talking in any depth about economics?
(a) it is the nature of social media that emotionally engaging bullshit (both sides are the same I'm so clever mehehehehe) is more fun to post than boring well-reasoned truth
(b) a lot of them don't "think" it, as much as they are strategically posting it in the hopes that other people will start to think it
If you aren't interested in Lemmy why are you on Lemmy
Part 1: Elections don't matter pls don't vote
Part 2: Hey Biden's just old and a bad candidate, I'm just trying to help the "Dems" find a better one because I love them so much and I care about beating Trump
Part 3: I'm ONLY talking about the PRIMARY I'm trying to HELP
Part 4: Why do y'all think I'm a troll
Golden rule: Everyone should be supporting the player group having a rewarding experience. That's what it's all in service of.
The players can say "that's what my character would do," just like the DM can say "well it's realistic that the bugbears would set an ambush and come out and outnumber and kill you all," but neither is going to lead to an enjoyable outcome.
I have no idea what to recommend, for the details of what you or your group should do in this exact situation. As you said you're all adults and it's ultimately up to all of y'all however it works out. But the overall principle of keeping an eye on, yes we have our individual characters and we're trying to develop and express ourselves in character and sometimes tension between our incompatible motivations is a big part of that, but also, we're also all responsible for the whole thing ultimately working out well -- that's what I would recommend to keep an eye on (for you and for your expectations of what other PCs should be "supposed to" bring to the table in order to be fair to you + your character).
One person saying actually I agree with you on that, and the other person saying NO YOU DON'T YOU'RE CLEARLY A MONSTER AND YOU MUST THINK TERRIBLE THINGS
All good. It's such a blatant violation of what voting should be that it seems like a no-brainer for it to be illegal. And yet, just like bribing politicians, it's fuckin legal for some fuckin reason...
- Gerrymandering for non racial reasons is legal, which the founding fathers would consider 100% grounds for revolution. They'd be surprised and saddened that that wasn't the instant result.
- It's not gerrymandering, it's straight-up election fraud. Kicking Democrats off the voter rolls has been a key strategy for quite a while now.
It's sort of amazing they get away with it.
Yeah, agreed. The editorial spends like the entire first half prefacing with all bad things Biden has done and is still doing as regards Gaza, to give context to the little good things he seems to be starting to do.
? It's working for me normal and incognito
Haaretz has an abysmally functioning semi paywall, is that what you mean?

Fuck fuckity bitch cock
Edit: Interesting. It looks at first glance like maybe they only have the ability to edit posts as seen by local users on lemmy.ml (which actually makes sense -- I would think that part of ActivityPub is verifying that content that supposedly comes from some particular user actually comes from that user). Personally, admins on a server feeling that they have the right to edit their user's posts for any reason would lead quickly to me exiting that server, but that's just me.
