People who don't want to solve the problem, they just want their turn on top.

I've noticed that too. The compartmentalized nature of Reddit only exists becuase of the size of the communities. I've seen lot of people copying subreddits and also filling them with links to the top posts on that subreddit, meanwhile they are getting no comments or engagement. Lemmy should not act as a mirror hosting website for Reddit.

Next they will announce that they are suing Disney because he watched the History Channel, and that had violence on it which contributed to his actions.

My biggest complaint is how Linus is still saying he's not sorry about what he did, at least it doesn't seem genuine, instead he is still apologizing that he didn't realize what the community wanted.

He shouldn't care what the community wants. He should always strive for accurate data, ethical partnerships, and correcting mistakes when they still make it through because they always will.

Linus is doubling down on his opinions, hiding mistakes, doing the bare minimum to fix them, and needs public outcry and the heavy hand of the other executives in LTT to see any course change.

Worst part of it was a few of them were not jokes. They actually shilled their own products in their apology video.

We don't use that word. Corruption and bribery sounds icky.

Try lobbying instead.

Many people don't realize that the first colonies were founded by Christians that believed the churches in their home county were not being authoritarian enough. The wanted religious freedom, sure, but they wanted the freedom to be theocratic like you said.

Trump didn’t transform shit

Picking and choosing what parts of the Bible they want to follow is nearly as old as the religion itself. The first council of Nicea was the first large attempt for Christianity to define itself and create a canon. That happened in 325 AD. Even if we talk only about protestants, denominations are all about what parts of the bible they follow and how they translate the word to doctrine.

To attribute it to one man is so disingenuous. Christians have been interpreting the Bible in whatever way suits them best for over a millenia.

The FBI serves the government, not the people. Reporting things to the FBI as a citizen only works if what you are reporting aligns with the current goals of the FBI. If the government is ok with what Twitter/X is doing, the FBI doesn't give a shit. Behold the highly effective ~~bribery~~ lobbying system.

I'm a bit confused. Of course, if the parents are not supportive then them needing to approve the "nickname" is a problem, but if the parent is supportive, isn't this good for parents becuase it give them more control over the school. If the parent approves of the nickname, the school has to recognize it and refer to the child by th name.

I agree it's taking control away from the kids, but is it not giving full control to the parents?
