I hope I hear more of your voices on Lemmy. That’s one thing I severely miss from Reddit. Even if the whole site was left leaning, I could see controversial comments, or periodically visit /r/conservative to see their views. Lemmy seems to be even harder left leaning than Reddit, and there are no conservative viewpoints here. I try to avoid an echo chamber, so hope you talk more about your views even if it’s not welcome. I’ll always upvote such comments whenever I see one (as long as it’s not hate speech) to bring balance to the discussions.

Perfect! My kid would be just old enough to get drafted!

History repeats itself… in 100 year cycles apparently.

Very well done

Heading to Barbie. Let’s see if it lives up to the hype

So he’s essentially socializing twitter. Wonder if he feels the same way about paying taxes to benefit others in real life.

I mean, with a spider that size, whose apartment is it anyways?

Yeah that’s the last thing on my bucket list

Breathing is overrated

That’s an interesting thought, I never thought of it that way. I agree we shouldn’t replace god with philosophies, but I don’t know if we can put the toothpaste back into the tube at this point.

Yeah that’s what they said about work from home before they about faced and demanded everybody come back to office, even those who worked remote before all this. I’ll not believe it even if I see it.

One thing I read in Sapiens that has stuck with me is that a natural group/tribe size is only 40 or so. Anything above that needs a common belief/god or a common enemy. God/religion served that purpose for a long while, then philosophies like communism/capitalism/marxism/liberalism/conservatism, etc. took over. Hitler/nazism is an example of a common enemy uniting people. More recently, and more relatable, you can see how lemmy itself grew exponentially because of the common enemy reddit. All this to say, tribalistic behavior can never be overcome as far as homo sapiens are concerned, because that is what defines us as a species.
