  • On the one side we have a perfectly serviceable candidate, maybe not the best ever, but pretty damned good. On the other side we have a diaper wearing grandpa, with severe cognitive issues who is not running for president but instead to be king/dictator. This second candidate is rude, shits on everything, is a racist piece of shit and a felon to boot. He is running only for the grift and will fuck over anybody and everybody (except for his own daughter who he just wants to fuck).

    AND SOMEHOW AMERICANS BE LIKE HOW CAN I EVER DECIDE 50/50

    This simply cannot be reality



  • For these women, the liberty of privacy means that they alone should choose whether they serve as human incubators for the five months leading up to viability. It is not for a legislator, a judge, or a Commander from The Handmaid’s Tale to tell these women what to do with their bodies during this period when the fetus cannot survive outside the womb any more so than society could – or should – force them to serve as a human tissue bank or to give up a kidney for the benefit of another. Considering the compelling record evidence about the physical, mental, and emotional impact of unwanted pregnancies on the women who are forced by law to carry them to term (as well as on their other living children), the Court finds that, until the pregnancy is viable, a woman’s right to make decisions about her body and her health remains private and protected, i.e., remains her business and her business alone. When someone other than the pregnant woman is able to sustain the fetus, then – and only then – should those other voices have a say in the discussion about the decisions the pregnant woman makes concerning her body and what is growing within it



  • Most of the bots on Lemmy have been well meaning, but ultimately annoying.

    The issue is there isn’t really a lot of traffic on Lemmy. And from the people that are here a lot of them are lurkers, just consuming, maybe upvoting once in a while, but that’s it. This leads bots that reply to a lot of comments/posts to become a large part of the traffic and thus the experience for the users. There isn’t enough for the bots to get lost in the noise. This also leads to the user experiencing the feeling of only interacting with bots, instead of other people. Most people commenting are looking for people interaction and get annoyed when they think they have such an interaction only for it to be a bot.

    Lemmy is also very focused of an audience at the moment, which leads to bots not really being necessary. People here are usually very tech savvy and know how to do most of the things. A bot that explains how to do things people already know how to do comes across as unneeded.
