Boost is my favorite. Clean UI and attractive icon.

Reading this on Boost for Lemmy, which I'm glad exists, since Boost was my Reddit app of choice.

People who tell you to do scrum correctly are themselves not doing scrum correctly.

As an ex-Turbinite, nice to hear DDO praise these days. LOTRO is still around too.

I've been playing Star Citizen lately: actually a game now, and not a scam. Obviously sci-fi and not fantasy, but it's pretty great, especially with non-combat activities.

Yeah, Costco has always been hated by Wall Street for how well it treats its workers, and how well they're compensated. They're always dinged for being able to send more profits to shareholders than they do, because they treat their workers too well.

They are pretty much the only large company that would send a letter like this that I would believe. Good for Norfolk, but no one should lump Costco in with, say, Walmart, as far as big box retailers go. They really do cleave to a higher ethical standard.

You are.... not as thoughtful about issues you care about as you think you are.

No, I'm saying that removed about EVs does what, exactly? The infrastructure change you're glib about happens how? You haven't even thought of that. You have a goal, but no map from here to there. You're still stuck at the fuck cars stage it seems.

Try to actually solve the problem instead of removed about incremental solutions that don't do enough for your taste.

Meaningless meme. Because people see problems with your simplistic stance doesn't make them Trump. There should be a plan to get there from here, and right now, you guys are removed about EVs, which are part of the plan for getting there from here.

The plan to address that is via crapping on EVs?

OK. Go for yourself.

Fuck cars?

I hate ignorant conservatives, but you mostly can't do much about them because they listen to no one. But progressive ignorance is something I feel compelled to correct: progressives pretend to care about things other than their own assholes.

I'm not taking it personally: hyper-progressive policies that require achievements in infrastructure change orders of magnitude more costly and complicated than any other event in human history described as "just something folks have to do" as if it's that easy, as if they're not just happening because of half a dozen car company CEOs... they just make me queasy that you're an ally of mine in our desire to fight global warming.

Fuck urban rents, how about that?

People who give this message like everyone is just choosing to screw the environment for fun make a crapton of assumptions about the forces people face in finding a place to live.

This is why people hate liberals, and why liberals often migrate over to conservatism: no matter how right you are, there's always someone happy to crap on you for not being right enough.

Don't shit on EVs for merely being one of many solutions that all need to be engaged with. It's not like without EVs, so many people would be rushing to areas of greater density and riding public transit, so your message is not helpful in achieving what you want, and actively angers your allies.

Hate this. Every time, I seem to guess wrong.

Guess I'm a robot.

People responding to the meme that needing cars isn't evil, and is required for many areas, are missing the point of the meme.

The meme is complaining about areas we built that can exist as they are only if everyone owns a car. If we weren't so consumerist, and if white people could better tolerate living near black people, we wouldn't have so much of the population living in suburban areas where cars are so necessary. A lot more people would live in circumstances where public transport is more viable for them.

And, of course, some shade thrown at the car buyers who buy comsumptively-extreme cars to do piddling stuff in. The number of basic sedans that can be had with 200+hp engines, or F150 pickups with massive gas-guzzling engines, that only get used for surface road driving one or two people around, is pretty ridiculous.

The main wrong thing about the meme is that it's assuming our situation was created specifically so that evil corporations could sell cars and gas... no, they're profiting from, and exacerbating, the problem of white flight from cities. Most of the country's problems come in large part from racism first, and then profiteering on top of that.

Immigration, as an issue in the United States, should not be an issue. We're a nation of 350m, we can absorb a lot of people with no trouble. It's only an issue because racists make it so, and the GOP oligarchs have been stoking white resentment for decades, with this "Let's you and him fight" propaganda, pitting working class people against other working class people.

We have immigration limits that were set in the heyday of the KKK in the early 20th c, having had none during the preceding centuries. Those limits have never kept pace with global population growth.

People are fleeing countries we used to provide assistance to, but no longer do. We have dumped thousands of US-raised drug gang criminals into those countries, helping their inability to maintain a stable state. We blame refugees for fleeing circumstances we helped worsen significantly.

And we can't remotely surface any of this in the national conversation. We can't even agree that adults who have lived in the US their entire lives, pace a couple months in their birth countries, deserve to be citizens, or deserve to not be deported to countries they've never known.

We aren't nearly as moral as we think we are.

Call servers "Lemmy Service Providers" and people might make the connection with what ISPs do.

I don't know much about LTT, but companies where you have a preponderance of young white guys, this is invariably the culture. If you're a young white guy, work hard to be sure you're not part of the problem.
