  • Who is an artist or public figure you still enjoy despite them being cancelled for bad behaviour?

  • It always gets me that Matthew Broderick killed two people in a car crash and got off with a $100 fine. I love Ferris Bueller's day off, and I think he's really talented, but like this happened just after that movie, and he just did not seem to be held to account for it.

  • I remember hearing that the Sahara desert was created by Romans salting the earth.

    That can't possibly be true?

    Also I wonder how it is connected to Jesus saying 'you are the salt of the earth'. That seems like am entirely different thing, but then again maybe not?

    I feel like the most modern equivalent is Vietnam.

  • Umm, wow!

    Feel like this comment deserves more attention.

    Would you share any of those photos?

    Incredible.

  • Not in America so viewing you as on the front lines of this present catastrophe.

    Please do everything you can to avoid further entrenching resentment.

    It looks like your country is so bitterly divided. I've visited once, and my impression was then that there is a lot more grey than any media or the internet conveys.

    If you're living close to someone who supported that maniac, please do what you can to build bridges so that they can find a way back to sanity. I get that it's not fair and that responsibility should fall on them. But realistically I think you need to be the adult in the relationship.

    Please do what you can to build bridges and be compassionate, curious. Own your own sense of moral outrage and dignity, but give these people space to make their mistakes and learn from them, without your judgement. Direct your hatred and anger against the acts that upset you, but be gracious and kind in your relationships. Allow your mother in law to be wrong. Honour whatever is good in her.

    Don't be a player hater!

    If she says something racist, don't just let it stand. But where you can, see if you can draw out her reasons. See if you can uncover the true fears behind the scapegoating. Just let her be heard, without judgement. Be curious about the person. And where you can do so with humility, share your own beliefs and what is important to you. But share in the interests of being known, not of flag bearing.

    Give yourself space where you need. It's OK to feel strongly, and to be upset. But please, do the work to build bridges, don't let your family be divided by an utter madman.

  • Are you trying to start a fight?

  • If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties?

    Jump

  • Thanks 😄

    I'm stoked by the engagement; I initially found the question following some article posted on bluesky. Replying there resulted in crickets. I thought to ask here on a hunch, and it's been wonderful to read all the responses.

    Back in the day people would claim that what was good about reddit was that it was a community. Well it's not that anymore.

    This is pretty good though!

  • I've always thought it was a very modern horror story how sweets for children are made from gelatin, from animal death, basically.

    I still eat them though.

    How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?

    Jump

  • I'm enjoying Bluesky too, but yeah, reddit sucks so much since the API changes. When was that?

    I don't even remember anymore.

    Look, we debated all this a decade ago. Can venture funded social media stay good? Now we know! Back then, the alternatives were more difficult to find and use. Lemmy and mastodon are here, and they're so easy. It's great. Keep building.
