Did they finally get banned or just quit? I never see them post shit anymore. Absolutely a propagandist and I’m surprised more people didn’t see it months ago

Those look like the hamburger helper hands 🤨

These are the comments I look for when I link articles, especially if I don’t fully understand the topic at hand. Thank you for your insight!

Total be clear I’m in favor of more public transit than less. Our city was never meant to have this many people or cars on the road. If we can shift away from individuals in cars, that’s a huge win for Seattle.

I’d like to hear whether return2ozma believes this or is just posting for points. It seems very out of character for them to post this article.

Good question 🤔

Last I read this morning it was still a category 4 and never made 5.

Helene was only a category 4 and did this amount of damage. It’s insane.

There are many more we won’t know about until next week. This is a national tragedy.

Every republican who voted to send weapons to Israel is complicit as well.

As a native Seattleite, I try my best to at least acknowledge people with a head bob. Sometimes I’m not feeling a conversation and just try to shut it down quickly.

“Your dog is beautiful!” “Oh yeah, haha, she’s a good girl.” - and keep walking

I disagree that leaving things unsaid is the best approach to online discussion, especially when it comes to soundbite level social media like Lemmy and Reddit. Doing this puts forth the position that only one thing needs to be said, which is underhanded and intellectually dishonest.

You’re absolutely right that both mainstream parties in the US are closely related in policy, so it is a failure of those arguing against the Israeli genocide to not call this what it is: a governmental policy problem, not a single party problem. Saying “democrat bad, support Israeli genocide” while ignoring the opposite party just because it is not in power is a failure to point out the root cause of the issue. If we don’t want to support any genocide, we need to make sure that no matter what party is in power, it doesn’t happen.

I’ll ignore the fact that you disagree with their economic policies for now and continue to focus on the fact that this is a systematic issue, not one that is beholden to one party or the other.

I’m not defending their actions. I’m pointing out that there are those that astroturf social media that -only ever point out the negatives of one major political party while completely ignoring the other-.

So since you seem to be reasonable despite your satire and snark, what do you think about the Republicans and how they would handle the ongoing genocide?

Or will you prove my point again for me?

There are certain actors on Lemmy that I’m betting will disappear after the presidential election cycle or significantly pull back their posting.

Basically fanning the flames of “democrat bad, support israel genocide” while also saying “republican not in power, can’t blame them!”. Genocide is terrible no matter who does it and we shouldn’t pretend Republicans would be any better. In all likelihood, they would be worse.

RE: RE: FWD: FWD: RE: omg Becky look at this detainment camp

I’m wondering how exactly it will be enforced. Not only that, but it looks like it would just shuffle these people to other areas of the city.

If you look at what I’ve posted previously, you can see I post more center-left content that anything else. There have been several stores shuttered recently in downtown and Saks is just the latest.

If this same question had been posed from the Seattle Times, what would your answer have been?

My vote is it’s easier for people to buy online without the hassle for going to a brick and mortar store, but I could be mistaken.

People have no attention span these days. Our media has trained us to move on quickly to the next thing. They will probably only cover it if someone makes a spectacle of it like Trump does.

Found the single issue voter

I mean they indicate as such if you read the article…

Take the L, losers
