  • I would prefer to use Lemmy, but it simply doesn't have some things that reddit currently has. It could in the future, but it doesn't have the user base yet.

    Opinion | Why Aren’t More People Getting Married? Ask Women What Dating Is Like.
  • They're really gonna play the "men are shit" card? I mean come on.

  • America is so great we privatized taxes
  • I basically agree. Those are actually insurance, and serve a purpose. Health "Insurance" isn't insurance at all really...

  • America is so great we privatized taxes
  • Absolutely agree.

  • America is so great we privatized taxes
  • If you mean specifically health insurance.... yeah this is spot on.

    I think it's more complicated for other kinds of insurance though.

  • Support for Third U.S. Political Party Up to 63%
  • I think it's a good idea to separate the politicians and party leaders from the rank-and-file members.

    The organization knows what it is they are doing. But the members.... I think of lot of them are just completely deceived in various ways about various things.

    So when someone says "republicans want a dictatorship" it can be true in one sense, and nonsense in another.

  • Greenland women demand compensation for forced contraception
  • I wouldn't say they were taken care of in this case....

    But regardless, that's a hardly an amount that would prevent someone from trying to do this again.

  • Greenland women demand compensation for forced contraception
  • That's helpful to know, but man, that's hardly fair compensation for such a terrible thing.

  • Greenland women demand compensation for forced contraception
  • They're only asking for 38,000? Seems really low...

  • Support for Third U.S. Political Party Up to 63%
  • Absolutely! But to accuse them wanting a dictatorship will only drive them further into the deception, because they aren't lying when they say they don't want it, despite them supporting a path towards it.

    Accusing a person of lying when they are not willing always get a strong reaction against you because they believe they are morally right and you are lying to them.

  • In supporting trump, they support someone who would gladly take that role if he could. I agree.

    But the contradiction is deep within themselves not just held for outsiders to see. They aren't lying when they say they support democracy and say they support trump at the same time. They're contradicting themselves, but they aren't lying. I don't know why that happens, but I guess they have been deceived.

    But it's important to have that distinction, otherwise we dehumanize millions of people, and destroy hope of showing them the truth.

  • I can agree that Trump and those like him are moving towards that kind of power structure.

    And yes that means that those who support trump and deny that want a dictatorship and at some level contradicting themselves.

    But that is a different thing tham actually wanting a dictatorship.

    Misrepresenting people will get us no where. It will dehumanize those we disagree with and will create enemies from those who could be allies.

  • Support for Third U.S. Political Party Up to 63%
  • If by conservatives you mean Americans who describe themselves as conservatives.... that's a ridiculous claim. I don't think I've ever met a Republican who openly wanted a dictator. I'm sure they exist, but it's not the majority view within Republican voters.

    If you mean something else, please define what you mean by conservative.

    What Ghosting Says About Society (And Why it Hurts So Much)
  • That's very true. But, it's something that appears to be way more common that it uses to be.

  • Time to go demon hunting! Wait, her?
  • Have you seen her in combat though?

  • Min-max
  • Of course you can. You just need weighted dice.

  • [ACT 2 SPOILERS] Completely avoided a boss fight
  • How did you fly up? How were you able to select the roof to fly to?

  • Spellslot well spent
  • There are a few that have DC 30 and can't be broken. That's not impossible, but it's still hard even with a character built for it.

  • Microsoft completely misjudged Baldur’s Gate 3
  • It looks like the list was created based on name recognition.

  • I have a 220 volt outlet, my PSU supports 115-240v, but the plug is only a standard 120v plug. How doninokug it in?

    The plug side that goes into the PSU is not standard.

    The PSU is an EVGA 1600 G2 supernova.

    How do I plug this in? I can't find a compatible cable or plug adapter.

    Favorite Mods?

    I love Mass effect, but you can only play it so many times. What are you favorite mods to make it more fun again?

    It looks like we're not getting a ton of new users from the /r/reformed subreddit

    Any thoughts on if there's anything we can or even should do about that? There's not much here.

    What do you need prayer for?

    There's only a few of us right now, but we should pray for one another. What do you need prayer for?

    Solo parenting and conferences

    How do you solo parents go to conferences with school-age kids? It seems essentially impossible unless the conference is over the summer.
