It’s helpful to the dems to have another unpopular court decision, but it’s up for debate whether this is straight forward conservative court blocking the dems or the dems knowingly pushing something that would get struck down to help drive outrage

Brain dead take.

I’m sure they’re watching the reddit situation very closely.

Boost is the app that took me away from BaconReader… But none of that matters now.

Well Boost did announce they’re making a Lemmy client, so…

You don’t smoke ketamine. And it definitely would not be responsible for the type of behavior he exhibits.

That’s just called “extreme avarice,” and “sociopathy.”

Right, they will do a cost/benefit analysis to see if the amount of traffic and engagement that they lost cost more or less than what they made or saved by forcing log in.

He only cares because it’s not him that’s doing the pillaging.

Also… Quora just seems fucking wild

Everyday Twitter erodes its worth for short-term wealth.

This is, and will always be, the main push of capitalism. This isn’t some cute new term like “enshittification” or something, this is just good ol fashion rent seeking and it’s capitalism working as intended.

The beauty of this fediverse thing is, that… if you don’t like it you can make your own instance and do the thing you want there instead. Bye.

Unfortunately, she’s dead which means she will never even have the capacity to understand what her decision meant.

I don’t know, I like Sotomayor. And Brown-Jackson seems alright. And I really don’t have much opinion on Kagan aside from the fact that I usually agree with her rulings. As for Conservatives, I disagree with all of them almost always, but Gorsuch at least seems to care about consistency, and I think his views on Native affairs is admirable.

You’re talking about two different problems. But good job conflating the two if that was your intention. Which it seems it was.

Well that’s the only reason the party still exists, so…

Oh wow, your pedantic argument really swayed me!

Because Republicans would rather break the system than allow it to work as intended. Because they know that’s the only way they can ever have an advantage.

Ok, so we just have to hold out for another 30 years or so.

Let’s not pretend that he conservative justices didn’t already know how they were going to rule on this. They just needed to do a little parallel construction before issuing their opinion.

Capitalism has robbed us of more than we could ever even imagine. To the point where most people don’t even realize they’ve been robbed. It’s tragic.

We live in a society where amoral, faceless corporations are more valued than actual human life. And those corporations have so much power over people, and their cognition, that the majority have been tricked into consenting to this perverted system against all of their interests. And I would love for someone to explain to me why there should ever be a distinction between the people producing something, and the people/corporations that own the means of that production. Why should these be two different groups, and why in the FUCK would the class that doesn’t do any actual goddamn work, make 300x more money? It’s fucking disgusting.

But on the other hand, they said they were going to lower taxes. And also, trans people exist, so…

This is the most lukewarm, wishy washy, “enlightened centrist” shit I have ever read. Like,

So its a long attrition based slug war which can only be fought when we love our fellow Americans and stop listening to hate everywhere around us.

???

What are you fucking talking about? This is some next level naivety.
