Trump has that job pretty well handled.

It’s distraction.

Turns out, it wasn’t Trump’s idea to tear down the East Wing. It’s not for a ballroom.

On Fox News? What is happening?

The story of Adam and Eve is older than the Christian part. The dude in the Middle East must have heard it by word of mouth.

But if it came by inspiration from God, how does the dude know that it is the omni-powerful creator god and that the story is true?

We take Adam’s and Eve’s word that that voice was God. But how can they know that it was the creator god?

Who can guarantee that it was him who gave the instruction?

Upvoted with the assumption that there is a hidden /s.

And so it begins. How long until Lemmy will be forced to verify age?

can’t use the same signing keys as a Google Play release, which they should never have been doing anyway

Why? Same author, same signature.

I can’t see this move by Google as anything but a power grab to reduce competition

It locks down phones. Without sideloading the elite controls which messenger services can be used. They most likely can also secretly update apps and replace them with versions that leak the encryption keys.

With Google not being threatened by a competitor this essentially tells us that the elite is serious about moving to fascism.

It’s frightening to me that the comment has 85 upvotes but no reply that points this out.

What did they do?

Closed source linux drivers is not nice, but also not shady.

A solution without demand is worthless. At first the demand has to be created. Some people value understanding and are thankful but that’s a small minority.

The sales rep offered a solution to that person’s problem.

You want that person to be right which they perceive as you want to dominate them.

So they try to resist you while they are highly motivated to follow the instructions of the sales person.

But it’s people, not bots. You could have a conversation.

A similar situation would be if you are a regular guest and the owner asks why you don’t come more often. You tell him, while you mention that you don’t complain, that you don’t feel totally at home in a black dominated environment.

Of course that offends some people but it shouldn’t. There are cultural differences and it would be strange to be indifferent towards them. People choose their restaurants depending on the other guests. That determines how waiters treat them, how the food is prepared and other things.

If you lie and say that you miss a live band, would you come more often if the owner made the investment?

Now, if I am not mistaken, the curious thing about trans people is that they don’t want to be their own thing but be treated the same as any men or women.

In that sense the comment is offensive because noticing the existance of trans people is what causes dysphoria and feels bad, as far as I understand it.

In a regular post I can support that dysphoria comments should be removed because comments are for having a good time.

However in this post the comment is constructive feedback. It’s still possible to remove the comment but it incentivizes people to lie.

Of course, the obvious solution, to remove trans people and their comments, is not acceptable. But I think that there was an opportunity to figure out what OP felt bad about and to help him not to be bothered.

He didn’t say that he hated transgender people. As far as I am concerned I wouldn’t call him a bully either. There was no hassling or suppression.

OP is banned for violating rule one. But he is banned from different instances and channels.

Who banned him? I cant see that, which is one thing I don’t like about lemmy.

1. Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

OP was asked about what he doesn’t like. He answered, in a polite way and is banned. The comment above insults him and isn’t banned.

I understand that it makes sense to ban anti-trans opinions but I would prefer if people don’t have to hide their true feelings if they are respectful about it and don’t hate.

place for higher level discussion

Create it. If you don’t mind my simple arguments I will participate.

To start, you can invite the 25 people who have upvoted you.

Which is also not good because people are usually banned from channels they like and want to see the posts.

Once AI controls drones to arrest people automatically there will be no vigilantism.

Problem is, the president is head of the executive and is supposed to give orders and tell the government employees what to do, within the law. How can the executive orders be avoided?
