That’s an optimistic perspective and I feel like we need more optimism these days. And maybe sometimes people do change their minds on things with social media discussions, though I think it’s already a difficult medium to work with.
For maga shit though, those people are basically cultists, and from what I understand it’s pretty much impossible to get people out of a cult without a personal connection helping them.

Lemmy has everything from libs to anarchists to tankies. If that’s an echo chamber I think I’ll survive without fascist voices in the mix. The North Korea apologists are bad enough.

Yeah I’m still bouncing between apps bc none of them have all of what I want (mostly to do with swipe gestures plus picture and video functionality–basically trying to replace sync but nothing lives up to it). But at least the new user icon shows up on desktop these days.

Is that an app? I’ve been hoping someone makes a desktop client that improves the lemmy experience like the reddit ones used to do

I’d say critical thinking is divorced from any one subject. You can learn it in a humanities context just as easily as a scientific one.
- Comment on Watch first, then wipe: Some China’s restrooms put toilet paper behind paywall 1 week ago:
They tried pay toilets in the states but people vandalized the shit out of them until they were gone. These days it can be hard to find public restrooms in places though.

Yeah I really though this article would be about young voters, like 18 to 22 or so. I was thinking how dumbass kids in or fresh outta HS could just see the system as completely broken (it mostly is) and think that some jerkoff conman would be just the thing to shake things up. Or at least I could see that for the 2016 election, and maybe they’ve been living under a rock for 10 years–I’m trying to be charitable in this interpretation.
But the article was about late 20s early 30s voters, and it’s just like wtf did you fucking expect? Anyone who hasn’t seen through the con at this point is either complicit or dumb as a bag of hammers. Do these people also give their money to every scam email that lands in their inbox ffs?

Also Australia, so you get western things like sandwiches, pizza, and french fries. Plus meat pies.
- Comment on Why do some gamers invert their controls? Scientists now have answers, but they’re not what you think 2 weeks ago:
I played Star Fox a decent amount, and some other flight sims on DOS, but for me when you’re flying a plane it makes sense to think of up as pushing forward on the flight controls of a plane. However, I could never get used to thinking of pushing a head forward by using up, so I only play flight sims inverted. If there’s an FPS game where you have to pilot a plane (or even a sub I guess) I have to pause and change the controls in the middle if the plane section forces me to use the same directions as my look/aim from the rest of the game.

Haha how did I never notice that before?? Maybe because the pronunciations are different I guess–the “he” part (pronounced hey) is the fart and the gassen (gahss-en) is like a battle or fight.

Since we’re in science memes, I feel the need ro point out that lobsters don’t have a liver, and have a hepatopancreas instead.
Also it tastes good
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 3 weeks ago:
the traditional platform of the Republican Party - smaller government, lower taxes, economic/fiscal responsibility, family values, religious values, etc.
TBF, the GOP didn’t hold many of those values either. They wanted to increase government control over people, lower taxes only for the rich and therefore increase the national debt, values only counted if they were christian and straight, etc. The main differences with MAGA is they say the quiet part out loud and they’re more comfortable with nazis, fascists, and kings than the GOP ostensibly was.
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 3 weeks ago:
I can’t decide if the explanation that “our shitty game is made for premium gamers” is more or less absurd than EA charging 80 bucks for a game with most of its characters still locked would “provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment”.

The GOP senators after J6, very briefly, were shook enough to say things that didn’t come directly from the dark money groups with puppet hands up all their asses. That lasted about 12 hours before they got their marching orders.
Meanwhile, teachers across the country were doing the Buster Scruggs meme
