It's useful to note that there exists Lemmy servers where down votes are not processed. So the high up vote to down vote ratio isn't necessarily a reflection of people not down voting, it's potentially a reflection of the servers that allow down votes along with all other servers (generally they all allow up votes).

We've finally made it! People look at a picture of Lemmy thinking it's a more popular platform.

Two separate signs. Well, one's a flag. The second one is a sign saying everyone except buses must turn left (buses can go straight if they want).

People absolutely think something about it when it happens, and hell sometimes the government even does something about it (as demonstrated in the article you linked). Just a whole lot of us would argue they don't do enough about it.

I lived in Boston for a while (with a car, but putting low miles on it)

Curious, did buying groceries more end up costing more?

When I switched from buying in bulk periodically to buying small more often, I can say that my first few weeks definitely cost more. I had a mindset about buying for X weeks out instead of X days out that took a bit to shake. In the process I realized how much food waste I was having by purchasing in bulk and not fully using everything, and I naturally switched to purchasing less at the grocery store. Both because it meant carrying less home but also because it was cheaper. Now I buy more or less exactly what I need and I can say on average my grocery spending is less now (avg monthly) than it was when I was buying in bulk.

I wish this was as straight forward as this tries to make it. In the US there has been a shift to re-designate colleges as universities based on the number of graduate and non-graduate programs, requiring at least one of each as far as I can tell. The side effect is that a lot of state colleges are now state universities with individual "colleges" within them for the specific program groups.

Which is to say that some state colleges were correctly rebranded as universities, but you can go to a state college and have it be a university.

(And yes, even further exceptions exist and I look forward to being enlightened about the various universities in the middle of nowhere serving 15 people.)

Defending a pedophile doesn't make one a pedophile. That's the stretch I'm arguing against.

I can't believe I'm defending Stallman here. He's got so many other reasons to be hated.
