This place is constantly shilling Linux, decrying LLMs, and downvoting anything that doesn’t fit the status quo.
Don’t get me wrong I like this place on the whole, but I’ve just come to realise nobody here actually wants to engage with anybody different and just dog piles.
I do tend to do most of my purchasing locally if I can and I don’t shop at Amazon and I’m actively trying to boycott American companies.
I am curious about quality though. China makes everything pretty much so it’s likely most of the stuff comes from the same factories making good stuff?
I watch people like Ben Shapiro all the time because I don’t want to exclusively live in my echo chamber and it’s good to challenge your beliefs and staying up to date with all sides.
I prefer the more moderate conservatives but it’s good to watch everything.
Something i am concerned about here on Lemmy is the instant downvoting without discussion of dissenting opinions. Hardly conducive to bringing about a revolution if we won’t even engage with certain people.
Seems like a massive circle jerk at times where we can all feel superior because we have empathy. But i want actual change and not just to seem like I’m progressive.
Prices are ridiculous though. I mean I got my last set from there because they had an offer to get prescription sun glasses too, but in the past I’ve just searched cheap glasses online and had some for 10% the cost at the high street.
Quality isn’t as great as say designer frames which I have now, but also I seem to keep wearing my cheap ones as they’re more comfortable for my head.

We are the left wing version of r/conservative.
