Didn’t have the equipment for either.

We don’t have a rescue ship just sitting around. It’d take months to get one ready.

There really wasn’t another option for Columbia. It was die in space or die trying to land.

Most states have medical prisons to detain those with special needs.

Here is an example of one.

Sometimes they’ll be paroled if they are Low risk. That way the tax payer isn’t financially responsible.

Ironically medical care is a right to prisoners but it’s not for everyone else.

One article I read said he likes to fire whole teams and then see which people are asked about. Those are the ones he rehires. If nobody misses you then you were doing a job of value.

From a human level, this is just shitty. It isn’t the way to treat people.

If you want lemmy to be more active, make it more active. If you want users to engage more, then give them something to engage with. Every user is part of what happens here, even more than on reddit. That is why I am active.

Maybe your instance has defederated with too many others?

Lemm.ee is great about letting you decide what to filter. I can’t say enough good things about the admin.

Do you mean lemmy as a whole?

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the number, but last I saw, they were trending down on all counts.

It is called social media for a reason.

Personally, I don’t care about upvotes for downvotes. I suspect the reason you see users declining is because there isn’t much content or interaction. Eventually it will become either a niche or just die off.

for all the bad rap chicago gets, it is a very clean city.

Well if they don’t want to talk then they shouldn’t get a vote. I’ve seen post that have hundreds of upvotes that say something like let’s talk about x but no replies.

That’s the point of something like lemmy to discuss a topic. It’s not just for downvote or upvotes.

The fediverse need more interactions for it to work. Downvoting or upvoting isn’t creating any value.

Comments create value even if you disagree.

Restricted environments. If Tesla use that as their criteria they’d meet that.

Fsd is cool. I’ve been using it for years but it either works like a dream or tries to kill you.

It’s not prime time but overall it’s more advanced than anyone else since it doesn’t use pre mapped paths.

Mercedes level 3 is highly conditional unlike Tesla.

The point being Tesla has an advanced system but ford would be an idiot it licensing it. Every time I think Tesla cracked the code, it tries to murder me.

I think Tesla should have kept the radars.

Discussions are important. The internet is more about catch phrases and downvoting.

Each side has pro-cons and in a functional government the suds would take the pros from each side to compromise.

Should be tied to comments. If you don’t comment, you don’t get a vote either way.

It was an early theory to describe humans. Most psychology is just pop sci. There is some truth to it. I work in sales which is dominated by extroverts. I am an introvert. I can party with the best of them for a few hours then I need me time. My hobbies are going to CrossFit where I don’t have to interact with anyone, doing research and learning new things. I fit the mold of an introvert. The sales people, the more people and chaos the better. Their hobbies are typically social things.

Does everyone fit the mold exactly? No but it’s a basic theory. One of the mays it’s described. How do you recharge and what drains you? I recharge doing solo things and get drained having to deal with the average person.

I won’t buy from scalpers. No way. They add zero value and are like parasites. Microsoft and Sony should have taken a firm stance against them.

Course I pay double ? Sure at the time I had the money but I won’t do it because of the ethics.

I was going to buy one when they came out but they were hard to get. I never got one and don’t see the need to buy one now.

I will not pay over list for a game console. That is just bad money skills.

That would have been cool if built

Yes. There is a guy who has multiple account that follows me around to downvote me. He has about 12 accounts but typically uses three

I’m not against abortion.

I think all life is sacred. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t need to terminated at some point but we need to do it only when necessary. I grew up Catholic. The host is sacred but we still ate it. It just means you treat it with respect.
