They also mention that the majority of homeless aren’t that.

Yes, but the majority of visible homeless are.

I mean it’d be as realistic as the rest of the AITA posts, I’m on board

Yes, I think if your political views are actively hurting someone or advocating for harm to a group of people then you should be held responsible for the shit that comes out of your own mouth.

This is not even remotely comparable to being unable to fire someone just because they’re black, or gay, or a woman.

That’s the thing though, it’s not Netflix vs cable anymore. It’s Netflix + Disney + Prime + whatever other streaming services have the shit you actually want to watch. And when you add it up, it’s just like cable packages. The only advantage is it’s all on demand.

Yeah it’s not all or nothing though. You’re acting like outside the US it’s impossible to fire people. That’s simply not even remotely true.

Are you comparing an intentional political stance that someone (hopefully) reasoned themselves into as equally inescapable of the colour of one’s skin, or sexual orientation?

Crazy thought, if you’re getting put on blast due to your political views you absolutely do not need to continue sharing them with the class.

Isn’t something like 50% of the US workforce paycheck to paycheck? That’s very much by design. Look up any strikebreaking action in history, the strategy is always for businesses to see if they can hold out longer than their workers, and if they can, no concessions are necessary.

Our stability and ability to strike is diametrically opposed to the desires of those in power. Until we get the guillotines out again, I’m not really sure how any of this could possibly change. Under capitalism, there is no incentive for it.

I think it’s just a human problem. You or I may like to read long form journalism, but we’re in the extreme minority. It’s not dying because it was so hugely profitable.

Logistically too, if you’re trying to parse through the top 100 tweets in a day, and each one takes multiple paragraphs to get to the point, the amount of various viewpoints the average person is able to interact with shrinks dramatically.

Granted, it seems like everyone is taking the forced brevity as an excuse to just write +1 to pile onto their side, since that’s easier.

Lol this is such a weird sentiment to me. You realize many of us do walk everywhere, right?

Genuine question, does anybody ever hunt with pistols?

Long guns are one thing, handguns are pretty explicitly anti-personnel weapons from my understanding.

It’s funny that you say that. Although it’s not I guess replacing Reddit in terms of scale, the browsing experience on Lemmy and that community feeling is actually an improvement for me.

So, I guess for me Lemmy is a more than adequate replacement. I don’t want all of Reddit here though, I think that would cause a whole lot more problems than it would solve.
