Given your comment I’m not sure if this a positive comment on lemmy or whether you agree with the comment you responded to?
Someone being banned for arguing politics would never happen on Reddit, so given they were banned from two instances in <6hrs is a land speed record.
It’s not and that’s because it’s bad for Reddit’s business model in the short term. If you zoom out this is exactly why reddit is on a nose dive over the last 3 years. More. Shit. Content.
There can be more than one person to blame. This isn’t binary.
Considering almost every reply you’re getting is telling you the same thing and you’re the one arguing a bad position, I’m gonna have to say it’s your comment that’s unnecessary.
Also, no one’s being grumpy to you, they’re just trying to correct you. If that’s what you call grumpy, maybe a thread on unpopular opinions isn’t the best place for a snowflake to post.
Right. Most don’t understand that risk is not just measured by frequency alone, but also by severity.
Nuclear is off the charts once you consider the full magnitude of a failure.
Counter opinion… Given the terrible trajectory of our world and society as a whole. Plus how every living generation has failed to do even the bear minimum to solve it… You’re kind of a shitty human being by condemning your children to suffer our mistakes.
Not to mention, you’re not that awesome and ultimately part of the problem, so maybe we don’t need more of you (or me for that matter).
The weather here is generally nice, but sometimes it’s not. Guess where I live…
Veganism is a religion. Just like CrossFit, the NRA, and Amway.
You would’ve had me at military, law enforcement, fire, and EMS…but healthcare? That industry is already fucked and you want to send it back to the dark ages because, they’re not in shape?
Everyone has there own version of obesity going on, but for some it’s their weight.
I think a lot of you didn’t understand the assignment. The question was around unpopular opinions.
It feels like you are all trying to run for highschool class president again.
I was just going to say… anyone who thinks Reddit is fine, joined during the wallstreetbets/GME era.
It’s like joining Facebook when everyone’s mom sent them a friend request and being like, hmm everything looks pretty normal around here.
Reddit has been headed down the crapper long before the exodus happened.
How. The. Fuck. Is. That. Even. Possible.
You’re the Clayton Bixby of politics.
I don’t want to kill billionaires. I just want them to pay for their fair share based on their exploitation of the broken system we’re forced to live in.
Another state controlled middle Eastern oil empire that doesn’t care about destroying the world to enrich itself…
Give me a minute and I’ll pretend to be shocked.
FSD $20k Tesla Roadster 2 Cybertruck Solar Roof that costs same as new roof + solar panels Unmanned assembly line Etc
Battery, range, accuracy. Just guessing.
It’s used so interchangeably these days that I’m inclined to say no, but an oversimplication is that a ponzi scheme is always illegal and is more detailed in its mechanics (as named after conman Charles Ponzi). Wheras a pyramid scheme (or more commonly known: MLM) can actually be legal depending on how it’s constructed.
A ponzi scheme involves a conman who scams his customers by taking massive profits from their investors and requires a constant stream of new investors to pay off the old ones. This is fraud.
A pyramid scheme usually involves some type of product and pays huge bonuses to the recruiters at the top for bringing in more people below them from the investment of new people below them. This is taxing uneducated people but can be legal.
TLDR: capitalism is more akin to a pyramid scheme and not at all like a ponzi scheme.
You need to drop everything and watch Andor right now.
Fair, but that’s not much different then google or Siri’s summaries based on biased site’s manipulation of SEO.
In the end, you have to do your own research and validation to decide what to trust.
You’ve mistaken Lemmy for Twitter. That’s where you post made up shit.
