Embracing centrism, like real centrism and not some Joe Rogan “centrism” would be an amazing change compared to the current situation. I agree that it’s never an easy thing to sell though. Centrism is boring.

Such people unfortunately won’t be reading science papers or understanding their significance.

She was not a bad candidate: a smart, fun, relatively young centrist. Her candidacy was dragged down mostly by Biden’s reluctance to tap out and by Trump barely surviving an assassination. Without either of those two things (especially the latter) she might very well have been the first female US president.

If she really becomes the candidate, the way to victory is for her not to embrace the woke left (especially the fucking morons who worked against her because they hallucinated some crazy Gaza things), and go for the center more clearly. Of course she’ll need to denounce the far right as well, but somehow I imagine that won’t be a problem for a D candidate.

I am slightly surprised that both groups lost a similar amount of fat.

Oh, right, supplements. So similar amount of fat as well. Well, kind of an obvious result and doesn’t really say a whole lot about the differences between plant- and protein-based diets.

Lemmy 30-year old teenagers, perhaps

Most of this massive amount of “they” you’re talking about it have a completely different view what is happening right now.

Also realistically nobody except centrists have any actual ideas on what to do about it. And even the centrists’ main idea is mostly “be more centrist, assholes”. Which totally would work, but is not very actionable for the problematic people.

Lemmy edition:

Bigger than you = dangerous nazis

Richer than you = fascist sympathisers, first ones against the wall

Smarter than you = jews

Look better = conservatives aka nazis

I know you probably didn’t mean that but your sentence here suggests that you find black people gross.

I know the name Candace Owens only because I’ve heard several right-wing podcasters suggest that she’s a crazy person and they’re somehow embarrassed to be aligned with her in some sense.

The rockets were a distraction. They killed 12 people, most of them Bedouins.

The real attacks (including the rave massacre) were done by operatives, boots on the ground, using small arms fire.

They probably couldn’t imagine such a thing to make it a sin. Evidence: because they totally would have.

Wealth inequality is worse in the US than in China.

Could be, that data for wealth isn’t easily available for both countries.

Income inequality is about the same in USA and China though, Gini coefficient around 0.41 in both countries. Most figures put China slightly more inequal than USA for income.

Dealing with surplus humans has never been a problem for communist countries. Just stop allocating them food for 2 months.

Not sure if China is that sort of a communist country these days though, but it sure retained the authoritarian parts.

What sound does one hand clapping make?

Hopefully no more genocide for the future.

Unfortunately nope: https://www.palestinechronicle.com/hamas-disarmament-demand-rejected-as-out-of-the-question/

Or do you have any reason to believe that Hamas will not try this again?

I cannot speak for anyone else, but a year ago I thought that I’d never buy a chinese laptop due to political reasons and here we are one year later and I have a Lenovo. I think most people will eventually make their decisions based on something else than politics, or that politics are in issue only when choosing between things that are identical enough in every other way.

Given the amount of publicity they’ve received from all this, I’m inclined to be a bit conspiracy theoretic about this… Did they plan it to unfold exactly like it did? Are you all helping them?

Controversy and infamy lasts for a few months, but after that’s over, the name Framework is still etched into everyone’s minds even though they don’t anymore exactly remember why.

I’ve had a pretty bad and long relationship at one point in my life, I’m not exactly a young man anymore, and I still don’t understand why the fuck anyone would think this shit is even remotely funny.

I wish Russia had woke too.
