I guess if you're standing on the deck of a naval vessel, it doesn't matter much what you're wearing

Not even in the slightest

Nobody says we must maintain some "pure" system. For an already existing example, passing a constitutional amendment is far, far more difficult than regular legislation. Is that undemocratic? By the most "pure" definition, yes. It's far from just letting everything be decided by 50+1 popular vote. Or hell, even the fact that we have representatives we elect instead of using direct democracy for everything.

Limiting democracy doesn't mean just installing a dictator or something. It can be as simple as placing some issues beyond the reach of majoritatian whims. I never see any of the people crying about democracy upset that their free speech isn't under question of majoritatian will.

I agree there's no perfect universal advice, but that doesn't mean advice shouldn't be given, just that it should be more tailored.

Cancel culture is not just literally the concept of something being canceled, just like it's not cancel culture when you cancel a hotel reservation

No, but there's absolutely good advice to be had.

Jesus, how many panels in before someone would think "maybe this should just be a written piece". The comic format does it no favors whatsoever

It's like the "have you tried restarting your computer" of dating. It's the most basic possible piece of advice. To that end, most people have heard it tons of times, especially if they're in the market for dating advice. It's not bad advice, just not anything special.

 

Because everywhere I look, it's just the same insane lies and mental gymnastics regurgitated straight from r/politics, with all the same refusal to even acknowledge the slightest of errors in anything they believe

 

I don't have any experience with the lemmy api so if this isn't possible just ignore me, but could we get a way to view the modlog in app? Because of the way lemmy handles moderation, with no mod mail and no an messages, viewing the modlog can be pretty useful to see if another instance has you banned and you're just leaving comments in the void.
