- Comment on Dear Americans, be prepare to get screwed! 1 week ago:
Trump whipped Mexico really well into paying for that wall.
Trump just talks a bunch of shit lol. That’s actually why he won. Because he promised everything to everyone. He doesn’t have any real plans other than those related to genitals and immigrants. He never backs it up with any evidence either
Trump negotiated really well with Foxconn too. Remember that 10 billion factory they were gonna build thanks to Trump?
In fact, I’m actually willing to bet petrol prices and power prices will increase too. Because suddenly, batteries and solar have less competition and even if manufacturered in US, they can raise their prices
It’s just really dumb 😂

Come to Australia mate
We will send our rejects to America in exchange

I’m guessing most countries would try to recycle batteries locally
- Comment on There are Minimum Wages, Why Not a Maximum Wage? 2 weeks ago:
Maximum wage only makes sense as a percentage of other people in the company. Ie. The maximum allowed is 10x more than the minimum wage paid in the company
Anything else means the money would just go to shareholders
- Comment on Clever, clever 3 weeks ago:
They can. There was that court case where the cases cited were made up by chatgpt. Upon investigation it was discovered it was all made up and the lawyer got into deep crap
- Comment on Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit? 4 weeks ago:
Well. Common sense is common sense because it can easily be disproven.
Like Trump saying he’s going to be a dictator many times and displaying every trait he will. At this point of time, common sense as an example
- Comment on Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit? 4 weeks ago:
I used to think it was better than reddit, but I hate to say it, I’ve started to notice facebook meme communities jump onboard. Science memes is amazing and isn’t affected (it seems to be all unique posts I’d never seen), but once those facebook repost meme communities jump onboard, you’re going to end up with all the people that makes facebook rubbish too unfortunately.
I’ve already seen an increase in dumb car meme posts which get reposted 3000x on Facebook (which brings along the same toxic anti-science people). We’re already seeing an increase in people who don’t seem to have much common sense
I want a community which is science and fact oriented, and I’m growing increasingly concerned that as we grow, we’re moving away from that.
But for now, its still awesome in comparison imho (last I looked, many reddit communities were overrun by nutjobs after the mods all left)
- Comment on Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you' 5 weeks ago:
People use steam because it’s good service, and a good product.
In fact, they also gave Linux a boost
They also have things like cloud saving
Developers use them because apparently they have some awesome features too for things like multiplayer and such and a great API
- Comment on Google now requires JavaScript 1 month ago:
Presumably… If you’re complaining about the use of Javascript, you have some coding knowledge. Otherwise it’s like complaining about the steering wheel in a car, when you can’t drive and don’t have a licence
- Comment on Gender 1 month ago:
Fairly sure we found a Maga voter…
- Comment on Google now requires JavaScript 1 month ago:
Even things like lazy loading and such require js though
A lot of features might not be obvious honestly
If you’re interested though, you could check the source which should be able to tell you immediately what they use it for

Yeah… Please can he do the same here in Australia
- Comment on Threw a wrestling watch party, made special food, and was very disappointed in the outcome. 1 month ago:
I got you bro.
I operate a hiking Meetup and a climbing Meetup.
The climbing Meetup I’m watching as a single member is slowly hijacking it
The hiking Meetup I put in so much work and its so intermittent.
The people who do join love it, I have great reviews and basically perfect scores, but just seems like everyone has better things to do
Screw 'en

- Comment on Aldi announces wage increases up to $23 an hour; hiring thousands of employees 2 months ago:
If workers like their job and feel appreciated, they work harder. The job also likely attracts better people.
I did night fill at a supermarket here in Australia once. And there are so many useless people working at them.
Here in Australia at least, supermarkets are making record profits, so it would simply be less money for shareholders
- Comment on stop 2 months ago:
A bunch of vegans said they feed their pets only vegan food, whilst they are carnivores. Mod stopped the conv to prevent animal abuse.
Some Vegans got angry.
I agree with mods, last thing we need here are echo chambers for dangerous information
- Comment on America's Smartest Man Finds Something Interesting 2 months ago:
It’s funny how I’ve tried to bring some of that most blokey guys I have come across on mountaineering and such, and the vast majority weasal out of it
And the biggest badasses I know always drive the most basic cars lol
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 months ago:
That doesn’t mean she supports it. There’s evidence that even with Biden there were things potentially happening in the background to try to stop it. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-03/…/103926614
Trump literally asked Russia publicly to find dirt on Hillary to win and praises dictators constantly.Kamala isn’t praising dictators.
If Trump went to court for every crime he committed, he would have no time to campaign. In fact, with lawsuits they likely have to compress them and limit the contents to the worst offenders to facilitate their processing time.
You haven’t heard even a small number of crimes that Mafia don has committed. But a guy who goes and laughs on social media when one of his followers attacked pelosis husband obviously supports assault.
So just to clarify, Trump = actual criminal who uses violence to gain power Kamala = normal person
You’re also assuming that Trump will end the war. He won’t. He’ll do what he normally does and just shout at both parties
Walz in particular is ex military and I seriously doubt he is pro war either. There might be stuff happening in the background again we don’t know about (Trump will brag in public about every single thing he does, but sometimes you need to let the adults work)
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 months ago:
I keep seeing the same bozos say they’re the same
One is literally a criminal rapist who has made tens of thousands of public lies, doesn’t pay contractors, and said obvious non sensensical stuff during covid leading to mass deaths and whose own ex staff warns he is an asshole.
The other is a normal person you could probably eat lunch with. She’s absolutely normal.
- Comment on How do you join a different instance? 2 months ago:
You just join another instance.
But having left beehaw recently, I would say I can’t really see any good reasons to leave lemmy world.
I only left beehaw because one admin I felt was overlooking crap people in one specific minority and it was slowly turning into a echo chamber.
It was also surprisingly unstable compared to lemmy world servers
I haven’t seen any actions by lemmy world admins however which would encourage leaving.
In fact, you can access mostly the same posts from different servers here anyway
- Comment on A bill to kill a union: What is actually in the government’s CFMEU legislation 2 months ago:
So I used to be a tradie. Been to lots of construction sites
Unpopular opinion, but a lot of the CFMEU are bullies.
I know people who stuck CFMEU stickers on their helmets simply to stop getting bullied by them. A CFMEU guy told me off once for sitting on the ground COMPLETELY out of the way of everyone eating lunch (he was clearly letting me know who was in charge)…
There were stories onsite of bikies running “lotteries” and such too.
Also, if you weren’t part of the union, you had trouble getting onto union sites…
I’m for Unions (and very left leaning)… But, my experience with the CFMEU showed they were nothing except abusive unless you kissed their arse

- Comment on Crystals 2 months ago:
I dunno if it does.
A lot of these people go around smashing random rocks to uncover stuff they clearly plan to sell.
To sell them, they’ll likely promote crystal healing and such and anti science, and of course be anti vax
- Comment on How is Lemmy better than Reddit? 2 months ago:
So… Two things…
I have a funny story regarding modding on Lemmy…
Ran into two bad mods the other day (related to the same convo). But, gist of the story is, I got into a discussion with someone who heavily exaggerated and claimed I wanted to kill an entire minority, as I only 80% agreed with them (they were basically demanding government benefits which would cause a huge issue if applied to other communities which was required to be fair , and they couldn’t even set the parameters of the rules for it). A Beehaw admin freely ignored the outrageous comment that the other mod made, and branded me instantly as “starting a fight”.
As I was deleting my Beehaw account, I noticed that same non-beehaw mod had actually been in a thread I had also posted in a month ago which was discussing more conservative people moving to Lemmy (I’m VERY left). They basically said in the discussion they were constantly needing to remove “conservative” and people who were trying to start fights . This was ironic because doing the huge exaggeration thing and calling someone a derogatory name is basically out of the conservative playbook (and they were certainly the only ones fighting), and anywhere else it would be seen as rediculous behavior.
People in that thread though also made it sound like the rest of Lemmy was a cesspool. This colored my opinion of Lemmy and I realised my opinion came from that same thread, so, I didn’t want to leave beehaw, and only took the leap recently.
I was actually hugely surprised by Lemmy World. Everyone is a lot more respectful here than I expected and I think its even a better safe space than beehaw, where . There are a lot more connected instances, so the bad actors get drowned out easier, and it promotes a healthy discussion, where science is encouraged. We might not all agree, but it’s a lot easier to avoid echo chambers. The science memes community is also AWESOME on Lemmy and beats anywhere else imho.
Reddit on the other hand, doesn’t seem to have good moderation (most mods are unpaid and the power hungry ones will try to manage hundreds of communities). It has degraded into people fishing for karma , and has a higher percentage of abusive people who also likely abuse others on facebook (many aussie subs have degraded into far right wing where science is discouraged and people purposely try to push an echo chamber). THere are a lot of good mods here though, and if you don’t like a community, you can block it and find another one… The cool part is that I suspect over time, this will eventually keep mods honest.
The biggest problem is that Reddit SHOULD have acted on FatPeopleHate, the Donald and Female Dating strategy. They didn’t act on jailbait either apparently. Those people established themselves permanently into the community, grew to some of the largest communities and the moment mods left, many of those same communities likely did a power grab too
