Maybe but I doubt it. The user base is so small. The sophistry from the echo chambers seems to propagate itself really well. I don't know. There's something bizarre about the same comment being repeated day in / out. I've been on Lemmy for a few years and it's like nothing has changed
It's fun to pontificate on the sidelines about "manufactured consent" and how "neoliberalism leads to fascism" all day long. The reality is all forms of governance that involve some form of democratic participation require vigilance and engagement. If you think the socialist utopia you're dreaming of is immune to the vicissitudes of man, then you have some life experience to acquire.
In the meantime people are being snatched off the streets because the candidate Dems proposed wasn't left enough or something. Whatever.
I was told time and time again on Lemmy that Dems were just the same. Or controlled opposition. Or Republicans lite. I could go on and on and I'll hear this all the way to the concentration camps
I jumped on Qobuz from a lemmy thread. Really happy with it. The artist selection is pretty broad and the Playlist are decent. But honestly, I haven't disliked anyone from the recommended home page which says a lot. I was on yt music before and it would always loop the same five artists no matter what radio station I started. It was really weird.
I don't necessarily disagree, but it would be silly to compare roads to high speed rail. One has a much higher barrier cost to entry while the other model offsets the cost by distributing it across the population. Yes, yes I know. I'm not saying one is better than the other. I'm just explaining the roi based on the startup cost. But yes, of course the benefits of infrastructure extend beyond the price to manage it. But there comes a point when the return is negative. Many of the Chinese high speed branches are crossing extended distances to literally nowhere. Only a portion of the network is serving an extremely densely populated area. So it's a bit of column a and a bit of column b.
The reality is the high speed rail it China is not solvent and is operating at a tremendous loss. That's just reality. The question is if that loss serves a larger benefit to Chinese society. It's a gamble either way.
I don't think this is entirely accurate. I know ultimately Kathleen called a lot of the shots and was very meddling in the production and I thitk Ryan was trying to do something original after seeing what a superficial piece of garbage TFA was. Ryan is actually a good writer / director.
My parent spidey senses are tingling. Besides the ADHD, is there anything else happening in his life? Major life change (changing school; new friends, etc)? He may not feel comfortable vocalizing yet if there is in fact something affecting him
I did look at setting this up on my Synology and it seems I have to take a day off work to get it done. Is it worth it?
