I’ve never seen “dufus” spelled that way before, it’s immediately enticing.- like you hybridized the word with “Rufus”.

Climate@slrpnk.net•$500K Dune Built to Protect Coastal Homes Lasts Just 3 Days134·2 years agoI don’t think you understand how insurance works.
The article you linked has at least 3 different kinds of socialism that satisfy “democratic” socialism:
Democratic socialists have promoted various different models of socialism and economics, ranging from market socialism, where socially owned enterprises operate in competitive markets and are self-managed by their workforce, to non-market participatory socialism based on decentralised economic planning.[127] Democratic socialism can also be committed to a decentralised form of economic planning where productive units are integrated into a single organisation and organised based on self-management.[22]
What definition do you mean by it?
Capitalism with a strong safety net sounds like you’re avoiding the question. The question is how to replace capitalism, not how to improve it.
How are you defining democratic socialism? Usually when I ask people to define socialism they answer with capitalism with extra undefined steps whereby the set of employees of a business is legally forced to be equal to that business’s set of owners. I’m not familiar with “democratic” as a modifier to the term, though.
Step 1: Think of a viable alternative.
No-one has yet achieved step 1, which makes subsequent steps harder. It’s easy to get your hands on people who will answer with magical thinking, but a system that will actually work and isn’t capitalism has yet to be invented.

News@lemmy.world•From Austin to Anchorage, U.S. cities opt to ditch their off-street parking minimums
519·3 years agoCities are trash now, this will only make them worse because corporations are stupid. The new process will look like this:
- Buy plot of land.
- Build business without adequate parking.
- People park on the street, which will remain mysteriously legal but exacerbate the same disasters street parking already causes.
- Even with that, parking is insufficient. Business goes belly-up, causing urban blight.
- New investor goes to Step 1.

52·3 years agoDoes it count as a tell when it’s irrelevant? Everything Trump says is a lie. You can tell he’s lying because his lips are moving. The addition of the word “Sir” doesn’t change anything.

RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•Had this conversation with someone who chose to no longer be at my table after meeting a blind NPC
223·3 years agoIt’s fine, provided it’s not a plot hole - i.e. your fantasy setting needs to not have abolished blindness as a realistic malady, which some settings do. E.g. LOTR 100% has blind people, while the Harry Potter universe only has very poor blind people, since solving blindness is as trivial as a polyjuice potion, even if nothing else works (and something more effective is bound to work).

21·3 years agoThe government can ban tobacco, but it’s undeniably tyrannical to ban a drug because you don’t like the consequences people are choosing for themselves.

31·3 years agoThe claim that hating the Israeli government is anti-Semitic is deeply anti-Semitic. Trump leveled the same core idea at Col. Alexander Vindman, that as a jew, his true loyalty must be to Israel. It’s an all too common anti-Semitic trope.

102·3 years agoGerrymandering is legal, as is mentioned in the article. What’s not legal is racial gerrymandering. If all a court does is find a map to be gerrymandered, it won’t send it to anyone to be redrawn.



If they even did it. This is over a screenshot of a spreadsheet, not the spreadsheet itself, making it even easier to fake if someone was out to get them in trouble. I could make a pic of a spreadsheet claiming to be by BrikoX and doublejay1999 with maybe a minute of work in MS Paint.
