Whatever he was, he was registered Republican

Not everyone. But it’s definitely very overrepresented here, including some large communities of extremists that I don’t typically see elsewhere.

Reading these comments I feel fortunate to work for a company where this is all uncommon.

There is arguably some drama when layoffs happen or when there are organizational changes, but it’s pretty tame.

All I can think of is I work for a large company in a relatively educated field (I’m a senior software developer for a technology company) in a very corporate environment. Most of my peers are just looking to be professional and foster a productive team dynamic, so they can keep a healthy balance between work and their families

Because that’s where the egress was?

he no longer has the cognitive capabilities required to do the job.

Okay give examples of how things have declined. Give specific examples of ways he has gotten worse.

His past four years as President have proven he can do a very good job, despite the verbal gaffes that he’s been criticized for over his entire career. Making speaking mistakes has been a well-known and well-criticized trait of his since long before I voted for him, or even before I voted for him on Obama’s ticket.

His performance as President alone should be enough to reelect him. In all honesty, I want more of what we got in the last four years. And he’s shown no signs of deterioration, we’ve just gotten more media coverage pretending that his gaffes are new.

I remember in our childhood there was a platform for any random person to broadcast their thoughts.

It was public access on cable television. And it was awful

Well I finally picked up the Netflix Avatar series. I thought some of the actors were fantastic (Zuko, Iroh, Zhao, Sokka, and Suki, to name some). I was disappointed by their Ozai and Azula. My biggest complaint was the pacing. Not enough episodes to tell the story well (like Katara’s rise to being called “master” was rushed). I look forward to the next two seasons.

Biden’s recent flubs have spooked everyonethat much.

A lot of people have a short memory. Biden’s verbal gaffes were well-known during his time as Obama’s VP, not even mentioning before that. If anything, he’s gotten better at speaking.

People should be paying attention to his actions and accomplishments as President. We have the last four years to look at, and while his handling of Israel leaves a lot to be desired, he’s made great strides in the areas of workers rights, climate, student loans, and inflation.

Calling his latest gaffes anything new is just buying into propaganda. I have yet to see any legitimate criticism over his health or ability to run an administration.

What health issues? I mean I know he’s old, but what exactly are you seeing that suggests he’s not capable of running his administration?

He’s been misspeaking and making gaffes since long before I voted for him in 2020, so that’s not new, nor a sign of things getting worse, it’s just getting more attention than it did before.

On the other hand, we’ve seen how he is as President, and he’s done a very good job. Obviously I’d prefer someone more progressive and who will stand up more to Israel, but his track record has been commendable and productive. I have no reason to expect any worse now.

The browser solves the problem of not having any open API. Each platform wants to handle things in its own way, and the browser is the perfect way to do that. Each service, including both the open and the proprietary ones, can present the feed in the way that they decide is right. The browser already does handle rudimentary account management via form auto fill, as well as a unified notification system.

But as for a unified feed… I think the best example is the issues with that come from Lemmy/Mastodon integration. Mastodon posts have a different mentality than Lemmy posts do, not to mention with structure of responses. I just don’t think it does us any favors to have them share the same feed. Now we have replies that have a clear structure of who they are responding to, but Mastodon users come in adding the user tag into the comment, which is messy at best, and bordering obnoxious at worst.

But I get it, I’m not the audience you’re looking to cater to. I don’t particularly understand the value of RSS readers at all, because I just go directly to the services I want to see the feeds from. Hell, I don’t even use bookmarks. I type in the web address for my services every time

Isn’t this what a web browser already does?

This is what I see from my folks. That believe anything that supports their existing views, but anything that would require them to understand something they aren’t aware of, they suddenly don’t trust the sources. They say things like “science can be used to say all sorts of things, we can’t know that they’re right this time!”

These are the same parents who taught me critical thinking when reading newspaper articles when I was a kid. Suddenly they can’t be bothered to employ the same critical thinking to articles they read today.

I still blame Facebook and the other similar social media platforms. They have catered to and encouraged the short attention spans we have today

It mentions corporate Democrats. It calls them the major donors

Trump is an idiot, and I don’t let his choices define mine.

He also pushed people to get the COVID vaccine, and I didn’t change my mind on that just because he said it.

It used to be at the same time, so you’d have to choose between the two

You know which one I was more interested in

That and I think the people getting breakfast that early are on a business trip rather than on vacation

I didn’t hate watching it. If you just enjoy the fun parts and don’t think too hard about how it all works out how it could have been better, it’s not a terrible time.

But I was just putting something on Netflix, I wasn’t really expecting or looking for the highest of quality

I thought Morbius was not as much fun to watch

I mean it should be fairly obvious, but sometimes a person is at home while browsing, and might like to see these. Other times they are at work while browsing and could actually get into trouble for viewing them

This is about the “not safe for work” tag, isn’t it?

I’m shocked at what an unpopular thought this is. Like… If you go out in public, there’s a very real risk that people in public will see you. If that’s a concern you have, then you should take steps to not be seen in public. To me, that would mean not making my presence obvious when visiting a bar.

Camera or not, if people are looking for you, they will find ways to look for you in public places. You should always assume you’re being watched, because you probably already are.

Defying the Supreme Court would set an extraordinarily terrible precedent. This only works if the masses are doing the defying. And it’s incredibly risky, as the Republicans would very quickly follow suit
