The comment was meant to show contrast between politicians who actually use their position to serve a community at all or in general vs politicians who use their positions purely to enrich themselves, often by defrauding their community.

Your statement detracts from the value and accuracy of their statement without adding anything of value to the discussion. And is thus a bad faith response.

Please try to be more productive with your responses in the future. And maybe actually take the time to listen to what others are saying rather than just looking for opportunities to get on your soapbox.

Thanks.

Loving it already … not sure why, but the pics weren’t showing until I clicked the posts, then they showed when I backed out.

I’m new to Lemmy and this app, but I haven’t seen that behavior before anywhere else.

It’s not really going up…

I got bored with it last year, and have turned off everything but search summaries, as they often just put the answer right up front, no click throughs. Also I use a voice aid to set timers, reminders, and alarms…

And this seems to be a common story lately.

I can’t see AI really exploding beyond basic uses like that. Some people are still inovating and playing with AI, but it’ll settle down.

Was looking at NVMEs, only $1500 for a small no name Gen 3 with 3gbps max transfer rate.

Some newer and faster name brand drives were listed as $400-500, but they were also out of stock, so those prices probably weren’t accurate.

Isn’t there also a psychological profile that desires and pursues a specific outcome, which generally requires and rewards everyone equally for being an intentional cog?

Just like educational programs and cheating on school tests are things and cheating is moderated by social rules against it, social media has benefits, and there are visual rules we must define and utilize to moderate it.

Post engaging factual content and responses. Not for profit, but for the benefit of the community.

And upvote as much posted by others.

Downvote low quality, misleading, manipulative, commercial, or factually incorrect posts and responses.

And, block or ban repeat offenders or commercial accounts.

These things, like parenting styles, translate to good authoritative leadership practices in business and politics too. Accommodate biological and psychological needs, engage and encourage participation, provide healthy rewards (real meal sharing gatherings or event tickets, not candy and pizza), …

Heresay generally has no influence on my acceptance of facts.

*is fascists, like nazis

Can’t some org just send a metric shit ton of cups?

Only I’m not a boomer dumbass, and I am right.

Check your facts, and stop trying to dismiss other people’s statements out of hand just because you think they’re a certain age.

Logical fallacy much?

Note: I’m not responding to OP directly, but instead to everyone who’s ever called me a fucking boomer!

I heard a rumor once that something called ‘greed’ was considered a sin.

There might be others that are relevant too.

These ‘sins’ and their opposing ‘virtures’ where considered such because of how they effected the communities influenced by them.

Examples please.
