Is it just me or do Lemmy communities tend to skew left wing? Why might this be?
  • One could argue that as alot of us are exredditors we would be the more progressive or left side of the crowd. Something happened we didn't like so we left it behind for something we hope will be better and put in the effort to make it so as opposed to staying with what we know and really waiting things out before choosing a new direction. It would have been easy to stay with reddit, hell I could go back in an instant and it would be like I never left, but I chose this new path and I'm sticking with it. That is what progress is all about

  • Meet my new puppy: Ass!
  • Phat bitch dip: 2 blocks cream cheese 3 cans of shredded chicken drained 5 diced jalapeños Siracha to taste Shredded cheddar

    Microwave cream cheese till soft. Mix in chicken, jalapeños, and Siracha. Put in a casserole dish and top with shredded cheese. Bake @ 350f for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted

    Edit: Phat is 80s slang for 'Pretty hot and tempting'

  • Captain Islam
  • All are also mentioned in the old and new testaments. Again you can't just blanket a single religion this way with out claiming these atrocities are their and only their fault. The problem here is the post insinuates all Islamic people are pro atrocity and that is plainly untrue.

    While I am generally against large organized religion, if your going to point the finger, point it those actually doing it not just the people you don't like. And if if you wanna point at Hamas your going to have to point at Isreal, Russia, China, the US, all forms of Christianity, Jewdeism, Islam, ect ect ect

    Honestly I was wrong for upvoting based on capitalism. You know who commits atrocity? Humans, end of story.

  • Is it true that addicts never stop being addicts, they just replace their addiction?
  • As an addict myself I can say basically yes. Not always to that extreme, think of the smoker who starts eating more. Maybe you get into marathon running? Well that's just a hobby, right? Maybe or maybe it's filling that gap alcohol used to fill. It's hard to say. When you break it down, from my experience, addicts are filling some kind of hole with drugs, so when you take the drugs out most people want to fill that hole. For the short time I was in AA 90% people chained smoked and only drank coffee or soda, the 10% who didn't found Jesus.

    So can some addicts get by without something else, yea probably. But for most, ultimately the hole will be filled, just hope it's with something positive. For alot of us, it's just a different drug to be honest.

  • Captain Islam
  • Those are all products of capitalism, are well know in all human history and are committed by more than religious extremists. You can't just claim this is just a issue with Islam, or lump all Islam together, all Abrahamic religions, governments and political systems including capitalism have this blood on their hands.

    So no, he's wrong by mean of wild over simplification and singling out a specific people.

  • Nebraska GOP plan to deny Biden an electoral vote picks up momentum
  • As a citizen of Nebraska, this is bullshit. This rule was one of a handful of things I liked about living here. While yes the state is blue eyed red fish, and this rarely changes how our votes swing, the fact that the state would listen to the actual people in our voting districts if we chose a non republican candidate was nice. Felt like we actually had a say, like my vote actually mattered. If they repeal this I'll still vote, just with an even more upset sigh everytime.
