Arguing what you believe in is not what “arguing in good faith” actually means. If you’re arguing in good faith it means you aren’t using any logical fallacies, insults, and are genuinely attempting to have an actual conversation. It has nothing to do with how good of a debater you are, or how valid your argument is.

So you’re Florida man could absolutely be arguing in good faith about the beehives in the center of the earth even though that’s very easy to disprove, while someone arguing for gar rights can arguing in bad faith when they start saying things like “every single Republican is a Nazi” (strawman argument) even though it’s objectively a good thing.

Here is a good article about what “arguing in good faith” actually is.

And yes, I know it’s Grammarly which is an AI tool, but I read through it myself and it’s a good article.

I’m curious on what your solution to this would be? There is already a page to browse your subscriptions, and a page to browse the popular stuff.

The home page specifically is to find new videos based on your history, so with no history what would it show?

That circle is roughly about 2000 miles across (according to rough measurements in Google maps), which is only about 2x the size of the Gulf of Mexico.

But yeah, this would be a cataclysmic event.

I think it’s more because pipeline work is inherently unstable so they get paid a lot but it’s for short contracts. Plus it means businesses are more used to transient workers.

Like my buddy can clear $80k in 3 months working 100hr weeks. There’s no IT job in the world that would give you those kinds of hours.

And yeah, American companies sometimes use the visa trap to get workers. But don’t pretend thats a uniquely American phenomenon haha

People still do this. I have a buddy who only works 3-4 months a year. Hes a pipeline welder so long hours and hard work, but then he travels around the rest of the time

[email protected] only has 11 posts in the last 24 hrs and [email protected] only has 7…

Hell even [email protected] (as far as I can tell, the biggest one on the platform) only has like 10k subs, like a dozen posts today, and basically all of the posts were people just advertising music. Zero discussion.

Even for things i would think are big, the communities here are still vanishingly small. I joined reddit in like 2014 and even back then it was more popular than Lemmy is now

Losers online hate this one weird trick

So do you fry the rice before cooking it in water like normal? I’ve done that with pasta and that was really good

Potatoes, some sort of boiled dough, and some sort of raw meat dish show up in basically every culture around the world

One should argue that. Even though the national guard acts as a branch of the military, technically they are whats considered a “organized milita” and are actually under the control of the state government

opponents of gun control hide behind the second amendment

What? That doesn’t even make any sense. Anti-Gun folks continually make laws against the second amendment (Imo, I know this is gonna get a lot of flack here but that’s not the point.

The second amendment protects the rights of civilians owning guns. And folks who are pro-gun tend to overwhelmingly lean right after years of bastardization from the left.

Maybe actually read the second amendment, and the arguments made by both parties before you “take a little dig”

For #6, I don’t think we necessarily have to move away from the idea that being a man means being a provider and a protector. At least to me those are some of the core tenants of being a man.

The person above you mentioned the men in Avatar the last Airbender. But I also want to add in the men in LOTR, Gomez Adams, Ted Lasso, Kratos in the newer god of war games, and Steve Rodgers.

These are men who are caring, loving, emotional and they are (mostly) able to show those emotions, capable of growth, and able to admit when they are wrong. But they are still men. Men who struggle with anger, men go to war and protect their families, men who are incredibly strong in the face of struggle, men who sometimes make “inappropriate” (to the left) jokes, and men who strive for nothing else but bettering the lives of those in their care.

I sometimes hate that what counts as “positive masculinity” is really just feminity but dressed up in a blue bow. Men are not women and telling them that they can’t be super competitive, can’t be angry, and can’t fail is just setting them up to fall into toxic masculinity. This might just be me talking about the culture I was raised in but those things aren’t necessarily a bad thing, and erasing what a “man” has been for generations isn’t going to win you any extra fans.

7% is low in France. From what i can see online thats the lowest the unemployment rate has been since at least 1990 (thats as far back as i could find reputable numbers)

So wouldn’t that mean that child birth is less painful? Because pain receptors and memory are also evolutionary traits?

Id say religion tends to be more of a reflection of what a society finds as civil. Look at other religions around the world, or historical religions and there are some things that would be entirely unacceptable in my local society at least.

This! Im gonna get down voted for this im sure but I’ve been using Lemmy instead of reddit for almost a year now or so but the hive mind is almost worse here than it is on reddit! People here seem to not be interested in actual discussion unless you agree 100% with them. It’s frustrating, I was hoping Lemmy was gonna be better.

Oh well, at least there’s less bigots and my app still works haha

But remember you also gotta protest in ways the Dems would like too. So nothing too aggressive, and if your idea is anything less than perfect we should just not do it anyways.

(Actually we should protest like the French with fire bombs and guillotines)

They aren’t fool proof, and relatively easy to detect from the source.

I feel like without oil the middle East would be like northern Africa. No real natural resources to kickstart an economy leading to seemingly perpetual poverty.
