Is anyone arguing at this point?

It’s not decentralized. There’s no argument.

It’s a long term committed relationship!

There was actually plenty of toilet paper, it’s just that panic buying causes pointless shortages. If we had a functioning government they’d have rationed toilet paper to make sure everyone could get enough.

States without currency sovereignity or trade sovereignity probably can’t respond to pandemics without indebting themselves. If they can’t print money and can’t marshal the forces of production they’re basically reliant on market forces, and capital is happy to punish them for daring to get in the way of profits.

Related, COVID also proved to me that the EU is not a progressive historical force. It similarly turns sovereign nations into dependent states without currency sovereignity or trade sovereignity.

I think the fact that the US had a 9/11 every day for so long is actually a lot more horrifying than people being forced into screening to leave apartment complexes (which is what you’re referring to when you sensationally accuse them of “nailing doors shut”).

Being marched to my death was horrifying.

Stopping a pandemic means sacrificing some freedom of movement. The fact that China was willing to sacrifice productivity to save lives convinced me that politics are in command and, despite their market reforms, they remain committed to Marxism.

Well germ theory is woke! Didn’t you know?

I saw China take COVID seriously while I was marched off to work to die because my job was “essential” - the US, EU, Canada, it was basically every Western country except New Zealand (which is an island and basically became a bunker nation for billionaires and shouldn’t really count)

I became pro-China after that.

Fake your death

Grow a beard

Change your name

Move to Brazil

Etc

That’s where the good stuff is.

Social means? So, what, anyone under 18 has to have rigid gender expression and isn’t allowed to wear the “wrong” clothes or have a nickname?

Do you mean in the magical sense? That there’s a karmic force in the universe that causes bad things to happen to bad people.

Or do you mean it in the moral sense? That bad people deserve to have bad things happen to them and it’s good when it does.

Let’s just call everything a website. It’s all on the internet, right?

Digg and Reddit invented the terminology and I don’t think people are unfamiliar with it.

If you sort on Lemmy by activity you can get exactly the same behaviour.

Point. That’s not the default behavior, though, and most users aren’t using the site that way - and I’d argue the site isn’t designed the be used that way, and that’s why most users don’t use that functionality.

And bumping is even often frowned upon because it pollutes active discussions. It’s just people abusing how those forums sort threads.

Not what I meant. I don’t mean people making worthless “bump” comments (that often just gets people banned) I mean that forums bump up threads that get new comments.

I use forums, and they’re just different.

Lemmy posts are still designed to decay and fall off the front page. The posts last longer if they have participation but the only way to make something last a long time is to sticky the post so it doesn’t decay.

Forums aren’t like that. Forum threads are meant to stay around as long as people bump them and they can be ancient, with hundreds of pages of comments, and the thread still keeps getting bumped because new content is added to the thread.

Also, the way comments are organized is different. Our comments are threaded so we can have a conversation between us in a comment chain, but forum comments are sequential. The comments section of every thread would look way different if it was a forum.

Forums are just structurally different. If you don’t like “link aggregator” that’s understandable, it’s actually not very descriptive, but you still need to be able to differentiate between forums and whatever-the-heck this space is.

Forums update threads by bumping, so threads from ten years ago can still be on the front page as long as they are active.

The term “link aggregator” was made to differentiate websites that are designed for threads to rapidly decay and be replaced by a constant flow of new content. If you tried to federate lemmy with a forum it wouldn’t really work.

Maybe there’s another term that could be used, but there needs to be a way to differentiate the two styles.

The month tells you more about conditions like weather but that’s kinda it.

The only reason it’s possible in voice acting is because actors have unions. I’d see nothing wrong with other labor unions demanding that studios hire minorities to write, design, and animate too

We should be expanding the standard, not tearing it down.

How is that true in a way different from other industries?

It is the same in other industries, the dominant race always has better employment opportunities. It’s not really specific to voice acting.

At least in VA we are able to actually force companies to hire minorities.

The race of a voice actor doesn’t matter

This is a one-way ticket to everyone being the dominant race behind the scenes because studios won’t hire other races.
