Besides your belief that there is no higher power, what are your thoughts on supernatural phenomena?
  • There's stuff I've experienced that I can't understand or explain. Certainly, I trust other's witnesses of their own experiences, even if they seem supernatural to me. But, I don't consider that good enough evidence to believe in the supernatural.

  • I really want to like Lemmy
  • It's all I have for proper threading. I won't forgive Reddit for how they treated me and my communities. But, if you are willing to use Reddit, I'm sure it's going the have user advantage (and because of that niche interest advantage) for quite a while. I hope it serves your needs and brings you joy.

    You might try building a community here, but that is the "slow boring of hard wood" and it can be difficult to find joy in, especially at first.

  • Don’t underestimate the Rogansphere. His mammoth ecosystem is Fox News for young people
  • We use it as medicine for our dog. And, if you have parasites, it's good in human doses. I think it can also be given prophylactically. I haven't seen any evidence it should be used to treat any virus, respiratory or other.

  • United we stand, divided we fall.
  • Ah yes, the leftists mortal enemy, the less-idealogically-pure leftist.

    Of the people that care enough to vote, leftists are a clear minority. We need to find people to work with on specific, community-building goals, even if we can't agree with them on everything (or anything!) else.

  • Realistically... How fucked is the US?
  • II think it's entirely possible the world is fucked. Climate crisis won't come during his 2nd administration, but the 4 years we lose in national and international regulation is going to make it impossible to prevent.

    It'll be slow, but before 2061, I expect the death of the global Internet, and global shipping, and most air travel. Electrical grids will fracture or fail and the pieces used for smaller (at most regional) grid. Cities won't be able to maintain the sewer pumps, and Cholera will start killing people again. Gas lines will stop maintaining pressure.

    I don't plan on sticking around that long. My BP has always been bad, so I figure just indulging my vices will make this no my problem, and I don't have a partner or descendants.

    If you prefer not embracing despair, I suggest looking into how you and your dearest can survive without infrastructure. Local food production, local power and medicine production. Don't count on supplies you can't retrieve within a day of travel, and don't count on the state to maintain roads. "Solarpunk" might be a good search term. Also, might prepare for unpredictable shifts in the local climate, like preferring indoor growing.

    If anyone has data that says we can avoid climate collapse with no new national or international regulation before 2029, I'd love to hear it. Please.

  • Americans elect a climate change denier (again)
  • In 2061, I can see Halley's Comet with my naked eyes for the second time. It's the only thing I consistently look forward to anymore. I don't have descendants or a partner, and my best days are clearly behind me.

  • Teary-eyed John Oliver begs reluctant voters to back Harris
  • Individual politicians and political parties routinely use count a vote as approval. In that way, if no other, voting does serve to support the existing system.

    But, even if you believe there must be revolution and the current system CANNOT be reformed, voting is still harm reduction, unless revolution will happen before the results of the election can influence the system.

  • Twitch sucks!
  • Peertube is a federated option, and while it's primarily meant as a decentralized replacement for YouTube, many instances include the ability to stream live. https://video.infosec.exchange is the instance I use, but you might benefit from using a larger instance or one that shares an administrative staff with any other ActivityPub-connected things you use (e.g. lemmy.world).

  • The customer is always right
  • I've heard "86" as slang for eliminate/remove but I don't know where it comes from, and I would never use it if I thought it could be confused with a quantity.

    It sounds like something a stereotypical Chicago mobster might say, so I'd probably not use that slang anyway.

    (H)Ask Anything Thread?

    On /r/Haskell there was a pinned, monthly thread so that people could ask questions without creating a new top-level post.

    • I'd like to increase traffic to here (or some other Haskell Fediverse threaded-conversation group). Do you think a thread like that might help?
    • Does pinning work here? It's probably not necessary given the posts/month currently, but I suppose it's something to keep in mind.
    • Anyone got a link to Lemmy/KBin/ActivityPub Haskell library that I could use to write a bot, or some other way to schedule a post for yyyy-mm-01T00:00:00Z ?
