  • Anyone know why americans are relatively unconcerned about dying to totally preventable stuff like disease?

  • Americans are not a monolith. Tons of Americans are concerned. Tons are not. Also many Americans have lives where these issues the news typically stirs up don't really actually impact their daily lives. Others are dramatically affected. It really depends on location and status, among so many factors.

    Various news and online channels might have you thinking all Americans are basically the same and experiencing things the same, but they are definitely not.

  • My parents: "You're a nerd, can you help with our computer?"

    I reluctantly overlook how insulting they always are and help

    Many months later

    My parents: "Our computer isn't working right lately. It's probably your fault from the last time you were messing with it."

  • I was strictly speaking of the number of civilian federal employees. Yes that number was 3 million as of December 2024. It was roughly 2.8 million in 1970.

    This also includes a RIF of around 450k people in the 1990s, and I'm not sure about what in the 1980s as I recall reading Reagan was very anti-fed. As a proportion of the population, the amount of people working for the country as civil servants has shrunk.

  • I was strictly speaking of the number of civilian federal employees. Yes that number was 3 million as of December 2024. It was roughly 2.8 million in 1970. It has always been around that amount, despite the population and complexity of the country growing in the 55 years since.

    It is a lie that the government is larger at least in terms of employees, and any citizen saying they feel the government has "gotten too big" is generally a fucking moron. Especially when those types typically support the abusively bloated and heavily unchecked defense spending.

  • Can we think of way to automatically filter softcore sexy communities similarly to the nsfw tag?

    Jump

  • Perhaps it would help if you were to... say.... document cases of this. Perhaps a list and links to as many of these communities as you can point to. You know, to research and begin assessing.... the scale of the problem.... and maybe how to resolve it.
