People deep in MAGA usually focus on words or phrases as bad, not going deep into the ideas of it. If you can discuss something without bringing up those words or phrases, you can probably get them to agree to something.

HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do you think conservatives feel the same need to burn it all down when charlie kirk died as everyone else felt when trump won again?English7·18 hours agoThe conservative need to burn everything down got Trump elected.
The problems with Charlie Kirk’s assassination is the following.
First, random gun violence hit a conservative news commentator. Worse, it was someone who grew up in a conservative family. So, you’ve got a lot of conflicting emotions playing out in real time.
Second, there has been a lot of push back regarding what kind of commentator Charlie Kirk was. The discussions of who Kirk was outside of the conservative bubble are leaking in and a lot of Kirk’s fans hate it.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some things I can do in LA with limited mobility?English8·20 hours agoThere are a lot of good museums in LA. The museum for the La Brea Tar Pits is next to a few others.
There are also a lot of theme parks in the area, not just Disneyland.
Also, have you thought about getting a portable chair? I’ve seen one type that’s a plastic disc that folds out to become a stool.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some things I can do in LA with limited mobility?English6·20 hours agoDisney has invested a lot of money in ADA compliance. The ability to cut in line with a wheelchair has gone down significantly.
It makes sense when you understand that MAGA doesn’t really have a ideological base. They are a group of people pissed off on the economic prospects of their lives without having any real understanding on how to fix it.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can't the American people just denounce the Supreme Court?English2·3 days agoI don’t look at it from an ethical bar, but functional. The political conditions where impeachment is likely is rare.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can't the American people just denounce the Supreme Court?English7·4 days agoOnly one Supreme Court justice has been impeached, and even then they weren’t removed from office. You would need to have a judge do horrific things to get removed from office.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Forced Drug Treatment Isn’t Horrific. It’s a Relief.English4·5 days agoIt’s part of the justification for these anti-homeless programs.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What percentage of the world population ages 30+ do you suppose is capable of financially supporting themselves & living & thriving independently?English3·5 days agoProbably ~20%.
It would be higher if you removed “thriving” from the list.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Microsoft doesn't understand the FediverseEnglish1·6 days agoMaybe you should make some noise until an MP cleans up the issue.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Microsoft doesn't understand the FediverseEnglish1·6 days agoSo how does UK law handle federation?
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Hypothetical-- you can only choose two cuisines to eat for the rest of your life. What might they be?English1·6 days agoNo. But I am asking how food preserved or maintained through a diaspora culture would be classified.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your fav forms of meditation?English2·6 days agoMaybe not the truest form of meditation, but I enjoy the gradual awakening via lucid dreaming.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Hypothetical-- you can only choose two cuisines to eat for the rest of your life. What might they be?English2·6 days agoMy problem with picking a cuisine is what that means.
It has become a gripe amongst Italian-Americans where I live that their cuisine isn’t considered to be Italian because Italy has changed in a different direction from their traditional cooking. The Italian-Americans can trace some recipes and practices to those who just got off the boat, but those practices don’t reflect modern Italian cuisine.
I’d probably pick Italian as one of my cuisines, but I don’t know if my practices would match the current cooking practices from the nation-state of Italy.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Microsoft doesn't understand the FediverseEnglish3·6 days agoIANAL, but most law that I’ve heard of regarding third party content requires the site hosting the content to conform to takedown notices issued. So, having a good DCMA system requires you to be able to take down content from instances that may not be bad, but governed differently.
As for the law “catching up with” federation sites, I don’t see that happening unless Mastodon and Lemmy start creating massive lobbying arms.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Microsoft doesn't understand the FediverseEnglish3·6 days agoYeah, if.
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Microsoft doesn't understand the FediverseEnglish4·6 days agoHas BlueSky implemented federation yet?
HobbitFoot @thelemmy.clubto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Microsoft doesn't understand the FediverseEnglish26·6 days agoI feel like this is going to become a problem with federation in the future. A Mastodon instance is hosting content outside of its control that may or may not comply with its internal policies or local law. Is that instance protected legally? Likely not.
It would likely be treated the same way as auto forwarding an email would be treated.
