Fair enough i was trying to have a more positive message but I consider the Reagan era to be the largest turning point for the US’s decline tbh. Of course the 50-70s were horrendous if you were a poc but at least that was getting corrected in the 70s and 80s. Unfortunately while civil rights was making strides during that time Reagan started targeting those communities with the war on drugs. Once we started the new age slavery program (privatization of our punal system) the US started on this fucked trajectory. This is all just my opinion of course

Yeah there is, I get it though. I’ve noticed that in myself I have a much shorter fuse now. I try not to take it out on people because I recognize it’s just misplaced frustration.

Part of the reason I made this post was to just let people get all of their vitriol and upset feelings out, if even a little.

It’s of course not helpful to shout in the void but it also alleviates some of that frustration people feel. I thought it may be a bit therapeutic to give strangers a little spot to direct some of that negativity to.

Thank you for the kind words and your quotation perfectly sums up the response I’m trying to maintain in my mind, if only for my own sanity.

I don’t think this will happen

this is purely me trying to find any crumb of hope in this abysmal situation

It’s more about the less people have to lose the more they are willing to risk

The enlightenment!

If only there was some way to determine which content was shown on your device.

Not really sure how to filter posts whose top comment is regarding moderation, pretty damn specific filter. Then again your comment is a large giant nothing burger that continues to ignore the point I’m attempting to emphasize so I don’t think you really thought it through in the first place.

Didn’t say moderation isn’t necessary, it is. What I said is it’s sad the top comment chain is about moderation.

I opened this post to read comments out of curiosity, I still don’t even know the context of this article because the top comment is about the title which I find sad.

maybe calm down a bit

While my tone wasn’t cordial it also wasn’t ALL CAPS SAYING KYS

You may be projecting a bit?

Regardless I’ve seen this garbage take on lemmy enough that I’m not going to politely point out the fault. I’ll check their Lemmy contributions and call them fucking clowns if they are saying silly shit like “remove content me no likey for pendantic reasons” while contributing nothing to posts.

It’s alotta reddit entitlement and I will attempt to call it out when i see it and I’m not going to be pleasant about it

It’s so pathetic that the top comment chain is discussing this pedantic issue instead of the actual article. Thank god for this moderation or my experience may have been slightly degraded.

Man fuck em, thank you for adding to the fediverse OP! You should look at non .world communities. .world is the more shitty instance filled with “um actually…” Style users and mods

Lol “the people actually making content are the problem” y’all are fucking clowns.

Can we just be loose with the moderation while the “top” posts don’t even get 2k upvotes.

It gave lemmy content, it led to engaging discussions, who tf cares if the title is bad.

Jesus Christ I don’t understand this mentality

You’ve made 3 posts in 2 years, op contributed to more fediverse in a day than you did in two years.

You really want to make this place better, then quit your bitchin or contribute more and your bitchin will be more understandable

I found the more I work with high dollar equipment in a lab the more relaxed I’ve become with it. Everything is so obscenely priced in R&D you just get desensitized

Work in an industry that uses raw RE oxides to produce medical equipment.

We are fucking toast if these tariffs and restrictions are kept.

You literally can’t get some of these REs anywhere else in the world as in the natural abundance is literally only in china.

What you said is correct I imagine but some of the REs are utilized in a raw format in us based plants.

Most first-world-problem shit I’ve ever heard.

Yeah I shouldn’t criticize my paid service because there are bigger problems out there

Yeah I despise LLMs ( really they are fine what I actually hate is how much it’s getting shoved into things) but I won’t act like they don’t have any use cases. It’s a bit obstinate to act like they have no use.

What community would be more appropriate? I’m pretty loose with fediverse communities. I’d rather throw more content up even if it’s not the best fit just to give Lemmy more content and this post got a shitton of interaction

Quantitative analysis flashbacks form this, I learned the fastest way to figure out how much reactant you need to figure out the tipping point of the ph was to just run quickly adding large jumps of aloquates on the first attempt ,let it turn dark, then on the next one go ahead and add a safe amount of reactant I found from the first attempt then go super slow with the drip rate after. Was pretty consistently one of the first to leave lab

Am chemist can confirm, I would look at a coworker real funny if they said un-ionized

I had a point in here somewhere but I’m so tired i lost it so feel free use your imagination

Fuck I feel this, I have to delete comments halfway through writing them sometimes because I meandered too far from the original point and forgot was I was trying to say
