I don't pretend to know how to accomplish this. I may be completely wrong here, but two things that have to go:

  • Religious thought ("faithbrain" or the Peter Pan-esque belief that things are true because you believe they are true, despite a lack of evidentiary or even argumentative support, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary)
  • Social media bubbles (billionaires controlling the content people see, creating bubbles of "information" that skew the public in their favor)

There's almost certainly more to do as well, but those things stand out to me. Also, it seems hard to believe that we could make any progress on these fronts given the current situation.

I voted for a similar measure in Colorado!

Officer pulled me out of my car, threw me over the his, wrenched my hands up behind my back... Because my registration was out of date.

No, they mean closeted gay men. Because that's how they think gay guys should be when they're normal.

Yeah, I didn't know people were just giving out basic necessities. I've been allowing people to exploit my labor for nothing this whole time?

And that being gay was bad. It was not conveyed well in our media, and our culture was full of negative connotations with non-heterosexuality. I feel you on this one. Bi people exist, and we're everywhere!

When a conservative asks you for sources, they do so in bad faith. They don't care about engaging with reality. It's a deflection tactic.

Yeah, and "womanfriend" has a real incel vibe to it.

Well I don't know that I'd call Mike Pence a chad...

Mostly I don't disagree with this assessment, but by now we're talking about the boy who cried wolf. Republicans have been very outspoken with their "groomer" talk so many provably false times, meanwhile Trump and his cronies have committed a number of sex crimes and/or shown a lack of remorse for the victims thereof that it's hard for them to come off as credible with this stuff anymore. I do miss Al Franken, though.

They're just both narcissists.

By being kept away from interview and TV appearances and such.

 

I like the flow state I get into when I'm focusing on small detailed things.

 

Fight the real enemy

 

Using a desktop browser, I click "Communities" in the top-left, taking me to https://lemm.ee/communities Now I see a list of communities, and I can filter by those I'm subbed to, those on the local instance, and "all" federated communities. This all works well. However, I would like to sort this list by the number of subscribers. The column header changes the mouse cursor so it looks clickable, but nothing apparently happens. There are no messages in the JavaScript console, and no requests are made to the server.

So I dug in a little bit and found that the ListCommunities API call supports a "sort" field. However, the valid SortType values it refers to don't appear to align very well with the fields on the Communities page. I tried a handful of odd sort values in the URL like ?sort=Hot but they didn't change anything in the results.

Is this just a not-yet-implemented feature? If I were to raise an issue against the source code about this, what would be the appropriate codebase to do that in?
