Because most right wing memes are created by professionals. Left wing memes are genuine grass root creations.
The best grass root memes the right can come with is "let's go Brandon", which while catchy is about as meaningful as farting into a microphone.
Yep. Most of the time online you won't convince the person you're arguing against, BUT to convince people reading the thread. For the most part, arguing online is performative, for the purpose of the audience rather than the participants.
No, not everything in that list applies to every industry. The car market isn't a monopoly, but it definitely has issues with government and regulatory capture (and perhaps others, I'm not expert in auto manufacturing). But even without those issues the nature of car making today gives it a high barrier of entry for new comers.
And as others pointed out, the fact it's not a monopoly leads to more unpopular ideas being scrapped.
Under capitalism it's always been the case of"what is this worth to you". The difference is in the past if a company overcharges then a competitor could come along and undercut them (so long as the gap was big enough that it made financial sense).
Unfortunately, monopolies, regulatory/government capture, vertical integration, marketing and cartels have gotten so far out of control that consumers are left with little choice but to suck it up. And most governments in the Anglosphere don't really care.

Resulted in a 5 second penalty for Hamilton and a new wing for Piastri.
The connect app allows you to block instances. Not the same as defeding obviously, but it helps.
Yeah, thats what I mean. That's why it's unlikely he'll be replaced, even if he hasn't formally re-signed yet.
Unless he fucks up completely and repeatedly crashes out, Sargeant will keep his seat. James Vowles said that the plan was always to have Sargeant racing in 2024 and the reason he's racing this season is they had an opening and thought it was better to give him a "practice" year in F1 than another year in F2
True, for me it also depends on how the Burger is constructed. Often the lettuce is put on the bottom, I want to get straight to the meat and not have the taste masked by lettuce. But it depends on the burger.
Not yet this season, but I have the past few seasons. My decks are always changing, but unless Rogue and Enchantress are popular I find Dark Hawk to still be very strong, I like to run him with SHIELD and Devil Dino.
Yes, the health secretary, it literally says so in the headline.
Especially on a relatively new/small space like lemmy. If people start agonising over whether they should reply or not then lemmy won't get a chance to grow.
This is what annoys me, a lot of these replies act like there's a hidden agenda to everything. Saying things like, "They must support white supremacy! It's a racist dog whistle! They're a Trump supporter". Their assessments never have any nuance whatsoever: if you put that on your car, you're all of the above.
That's the whole point of a dog whistle, to hide the true meaning behind innocuous symbols and phrases. And if you're someone who would be targeted by the hate groups using these dog whistles, it pays to be aware of them.
You're right, there should be nuance, because there are people who use these symbols without it being a dog whistle. But to dismiss any concerns is dangerous, and exactly what the hate groups want.
Biiig change to Spiderman, going to be interesting to see how he fits in decks now. Just glad the lock down archetype gets a nerf, it's very frustrating.
Not sure if the Cable buff makes him worth it over mirage, but it's good for players who don't want to get a series 4 card.

GENERAL UPDATES
New Feature – Multi-Upgrade: If you have enough resources, Multi-Upgrade allows you to select the Quality you’d like to target and tap the upgrade button once to directly skip to that Quality level! Save your thumbs and save some time!
New Feature – Upgrade with Gold: If you are short on Credits and/or Boosters but still want to upgrade a card, you can now upgrade your cards with Gold (up to a limit each day).
Improved Avatar Selection Flow: Tapping on the Avatar on the Main Menu will now bring up the Avatar Select screen, allowing you to change the current deck’s avatar quickly.
When you view an upgradeable card in your Collection, and choose not to upgrade it, it will be “marked as read” and will no longer increase the red-dot notification count. Note: This went live in our last patch, but we forgot to put it in the patch notes.
BALANCE UPDATES
CARD UPDATES
Cable [Old] 2/2 – On Reveal: Put the bottom card of your opponent’s deck into your hand. [New] 2/2 – On Reveal: Draw the top card of your opponent’s deck.
Developer Note: The change to America Chavez starting on the bottom of the deck was predictably damaging to Cable, as drawing your opponent’s Chavez was usually good for them, not you. We didn’t value that too highly because Cable’s play rate was already low, but that was a mistake on our part. Conquest has shown that players really enjoy playing with cards that can give them an information advantage against their opponents. This is a simple enough change, just going to the other end of the deck, but we’ve also gone ahead and updated the template to reflect the action Cable is actually taking, which is drawing a card.
Magik [Old] 3/2 – You can’t play this on turn 6. On Reveal: Change this location to ‘Limbo’. [New] 3/2 – On Reveal: Replace this location with ‘Limbo’. Doesn’t work after turn 5.
Developer Note: Our OTA on 7/20 mentioned this was coming, and here it is! This isn’t a large change to Magik, mostly just making her a legal card to play on turn 6. However, it’s worth noting that the VFX behavior has changed a little bit. She used to light up with fire on the last turn you could play her, but now that corona will indicate whether or not you’ll be able to create Limbo based on the turn count.
Mister Negative [Old] 4/-1 – On Reveal: Swap the Power and Cost of all cards in your deck. [New] Gameplay Change: Caps Costs at a maximum of 6. (no text change)
Developer Note: This is a minor change to improve players’ quality of life by adding consistency to in-game interactions. The Peak location has this cap, which it needs because otherwise many cards would become literally impossible to play when the location appears. Mister Negative doesn’t expressly need it, because his decks are built to minimize Power in-deck. However, it’s intuitive for that location and this card to function the same, so we’re lining them up. Plus, it makes Jane Foster shells a little less risky.
Rogue [Old] 3/2 – On Reveal: Steal an Ongoing ability from a random enemy card at this location. [New] Gameplay Change: Now triggers On Reveals if the copied Ongoing card had one. (no text change)
Developer Note: As mentioned when we changed Mystique in the previous patch, Rogue is receiving an update to bring players’ expectation around copying card text via On Reveal in line with the outcome. Moving forward, we expect cards that copy text when they Reveal to consistently trigger the On Reveals of cards they copy.
Spider-Man [Old] 5/4 – On Reveal: Your opponent can’t play cards at this location next turn. [New] 3/5 – On Reveal: Move to another location and pull an enemy card from here to there.
Developer Note: All right, this is a big one. Let’s start on the mechanical angle: the previous Spider-Man incarnation was a polarizing card. It prevented your opponent from playing cards at a location, a frustrating experience. It was most popular following Wave into Galactus or in “lockdown” decks, which are both decks that use combinations of cards to reduce the total play space of the game for your opponent. We want some of that–the game needs a variety of strategies. But we don’t want those decks or even one of those cards to be the best in the game. Our best cards should be cool and awesome.
But you know who’s cool and awesome? Spider-Man!
There’s an irreconcilable dissonance in having one of the most popular characters in the Marvel canon attached to an effect we don’t want to be popular. Discovering Spider-Man in our game should be a great experience. Since launch, we’ve also added more Spider-Verse to the game and seen players enjoy the theme of movement for those cards. So we’re making a change and bringing Peter in line with the rest with a new ability. Will we return the old ability to the game on a new card? Maybe, but for now let’s go with no–it’s not been adding much fun.
We don’t take this kind of rework to a card lightly, so we’re happy to hear your feedback through all the usual channels. We don’t intend to start suddenly remaking tons of cards, but understanding your feelings may help us better understand the appropriate thresholds for this action in the future.
“Evolved” The Thing [Old] 4/6 – On Reveal: Afflict a random enemy card here with -1 Power. Repeat this twice more [New] 4/6 – On Reveal: Afflict 3 random enemy cards here with -1 Power.
Developer Note: High Evolutionary has mostly landed in a healthy spot since we made the tweaks to Hulk and Wasp during the last patch, but this is one more small twist of the dial. Cyclops has been really strong still, but we like keeping him strong in High Evolutionary shells based on ensuring a character with his popularity has a solid and satisfying home. The Thing has actually outperformed Scott a bit lately, and this change also makes the afflict curve from Wasp into Cyclops into Thing more elegant, distributing -1 Power to one more card at each stop. It’s a slight buff to Abomination, but a slight nerf to The Thing’s strength as a single card attacking a location.
BUG Fixes Fixed a bug that would cause Mirror Dimension to repeatedly morph into another Mirror Dimension in a loop. Fixed a bug that would cause players to get stuck on an old Season Pass season. Performance improvements and UI/UX bug fixes.
KNOWN ISSUE List For Windows: Controller and Arrow Keys are unsupported. This may impact Steam Deck usability as it will only be usable with touch controls. Using Multi-Upgrade only counts as 1 Upgrade for the “Upgrade a Card” Mission.
I don't understand this community, so many people complaining about how boring this season is with Redbull winning all the time, and then being told that it is actually really exciting if you look at the competition between the rest of the grid. Then someone posts an article about how exciting the racing is between the rest of the grid and everyone bitches about it.
That's why they don't get fired specifically for that, they just get fired.
honestly i've delt with more people who refuse to change anything because "what's the point" than I deal with outright deniers anymore.
But most of the people who express that opinion aren't saying it because they think that climate change is unstoppable.
They are saying it because the changes that we know can help fight climate change, that we've known about for years, that international leaders can implement, aren't being done.
And this statement, from someone with a lot influence on global carbon emissions than the average person, seems very out of touch. He is telling off the people whose house is burning down, while ignoring the arsonists.

Agreed, the main reason I use still use Facebook is that it is home to largest communities for by hobbies. The subreddits for those hobbies were practically graveyards and on lemmy it is no better.
Of course, this doesn't mean it can't change, but for some things other communities are better right now.
