  • Trump backs nomination of FedEx board member as Postmaster General, signaling privatization of USPS

    Jump

  • DeJoy was hard to beat in terms of who would be perfect to run counter to the USPS' mission. Never underestimate Trump and the Republican establishment's ability to find new corrupt cronies.

  • Tulsi Gabbard freaks over damning report U.S. is spying on Greenland

  • Gabbard, you imbecile, you are the deep state now.

  • Donald Trump and Mark Carney Clash Over Canada in Oval Office: 'Not for Sale Ever'

    Jump

  • You know that Carney spoke smartly when the news reports his words over Trump's, despite the fact Trump was blabbering for 90% of the time over his usual nonsense.

  • Don't let your dreams stay as memes! Beh eh eheheh

  • The world is now reversing course to reject Trumpism

  • I can't assuredly say we have beat conservative populism yet, but we are at least bringing competence to government.

    The issue we haven't solved is that many young people now are coming of age upon a platter of socially engineered falsehood.

  • This was a sarcastic bill by a lawmaker in opposition to restricting abortion.

  • Don't watermark your legal PDFs with purple dragons in suits

    Jump

  • The purple dragon is cute sure but watermarking it makes it hard to read anything on there. At least keep the decorations in the margins and whitespace if you're going to add them.

  • The rest of the world would help out if Trump hadn't just messed with literally everyone else at the same time...

  • How are Americans preparing for the Trumpist supply shock?

    Jump

  • Sure. Most people probably have a bit of fresh food to rely on in the immediate term if disaster hits, but by the time you get to it, you should have a gauge on how long you will need to make that 72 hours supply actually last. Water is also vital but it does take up more space so as a baseline 72 hours of each is a good starting point.

  • How are Americans preparing for the Trumpist supply shock?

    Jump

  • Regardless of whether you think something catastrophic will happen tomorrow, next month, next year or never, it's a smart plan to have an emergency stash of shelf-stable food and drinking water to last 72 hours per person in your household for whatever natural or manmade disaster.

  • I feel bad for female-presenting people having experienced being treated worse than their male peers. I didn't grow up religious or anything, but I can sense where I could be perpetuating that hidden misogyny myself.

    For example: In work and social life, I'll give my phone number away to people I meet. But I'm not interested in relationships, so I'm far less likely to give it to women, since I don't want to give anyone the impression I'm making romantic advances by doing that.

    I'm pretty sure for men that aren't outright misogynist jerks or bullies, it's stuff like that where they feel as if they might be viewed as awkward providing professional favours to women when they wouldn't think twice about it for their male peers. That leads to those experiences that women find themselves unable to receive those opportunities to get ahead in their career, or aren't listened to, or have to advocate their position more when career advancement seems to fall more naturally to men.

    Are there any lemmy instances that support freedom of speech?

  • I'm not an admin, so I can't stop you from doing that. I'm not sure why you're asking for my permission.

    Jump

  • You should read this on why seemingly arbitrary, but nuanced moderation is needed to have a friendly space online.

    There exist instances that have more of a free-speech "focus", but despite that most instances cannot tolerate intolerance, harassment, trolling, illegal or borderline illegal stuff. There is generally more tolerance for disagreement on Lemmy than other forums, where unpopular takes are heavily downvoted instead of removed.

    A common sequence of events that happens with trolls or flamebaiters:

    • Troll says something unpopular, but not rule breaking (comment downvoted but not removed by mods)
    • Several other people respond/rebut
    • Troll continues a long back-and-forth argument that gets nowhere, or resorts to ad hominems, slurs or personal attacks (rule-breaking)
    • comments get reported
    • Mods remove the entire thread including the initial comment, and give out a community ban
    • Troll decries censorship of the initial not rule-breaking comment, when it was the follow up that was the problem.

    So yeah, it's to keep out the jerks. Behave well, think of others as you speak, then you will find yourself able to say more than in places with professed free-speech absolutism. If you don't like that, start your own instance so that no one can moderate you in your own space, and watch the jerks, trolls and spammers roll in after a while.
