That’s not true, there is a third state:

“I don’t care anymore, I’ll drive Uber if it comes to that”.

Why do people hate on Java so much, I think it’s a great language.

Do you use Java at work?

Fuck no, I want to stay sane.

Where are these high functioning ADHD people? The adhd person I know I’m my life can’t really get things done in a reliable way.

Moderates are conservatives with a sense of shame.

I hope people realize that the issue isn’t musk but California’s reliance on the private sector to do public good.

They don’t really respect IP laws, I’m surprised that companies are so thirsty for it.

Even if China becomes a big consumer of western media, I would imagine their goal would be to make their own media, like a state approved and sponsored media.

So I agree, long term, China is a bad bet for western companies

I mean, I agree but this could mean more devs target that market.

So I go to right wing online spaces (I want to keep a close eye on fascism) and they are praising this game and treating it like a win over “the radical left”.

Apparently, cause it doesn’t have diversity and it’s selling that means that they were right about “woke” stuff.

And here I am just looking at it thinking…

Huh, I’m glad there is a good new game, wish it was my genre instead of another dark souls clone.

I don’t understand the downvotes on this post though, do lemmy users think it’s a controversial game or is it cause its all Chinese players and thereby the headline is a little misleading?

Cause if it appeals to just one demographic, I’m not gonna play it cause I’m not in said demographic.

Ahhh, your almost there at realizing that capitalism commodified dating and is basically predatory against single men.

As far as I’m concerned, social democracy is center left. Maybe there’s a difference between European and NA perspectives. I live in a social democratic country and I have to say life is pretty good.

Well, the post is about leftists wanting to give health insurance to people. That sounds very North American (or more specifically, USA) kind of focus. So that’s the context I went off of.

Isn’t it funny though that your satisfied with living in a social democracy and I’m advocating for it yet we had a polarizing discussion cause we focused on labels?

Also, for context, I’m Canadian and would consider the liberals centre left and NDP (what I vote for) as far left.

formerly communist country

Far left doesn’t automatically = communism.

There are many flavours of socialism, including social democracies which I would call far left even though it has aspects of capitalism (it’s the end result that matters imo. If it’s more equality, that’s far left).

Which goes back to my original point, it’s really important for people to spell out what they actually mean when they use words or phrases that have been twisted by the other side.

Sorry if you’re fuming. Didn’t really mean to offend.

As far as I’m concerned, both the far left and the far right have completely insane dealbreaker things I never want to see happen (again).

I’m so curious what dealbreaker things the far left has.

But overall, you misunderstood my point. It was that centralist could mean being okay with genocide as in they literally want to meet halfway between fascism and reasonability.

Like if one side said let’s not do slavery, and one side says let’s do slavery, a centralist compromised means being okay with some slavery.

My comment was more about:

Halfway between justice and injustice is still injustice.

By answering whether someone like Joe Biden is a centralist and whether his actions contribute to genocide.

The reason your confused is because leftist have seen examples of people calling themselves centralist and also being okay with what is going on in Gaza.

By being okay I mean not trying to stop it actively.

It’s important to define what we mean when we use these terms/phrases.

Just tried it and it didn’t work for me:

Could be a version issue

You guys get bike lanes?

Is smackdown the new slam?

Unexpected dab

There is so many good responses to this. Here is one I just came up with:

Legal and not embarrassing are not the same thing.

half of the industry hasn’t worked out how to test database backups regularly

Wait your suppose to do that? I mean, don’t get me wrong, that makes sense, but so far 0% of the companies I’ve worked for do that.
