Pathetic. Dare I say fascist? I dare.

How am I being a fascist by putting important news out there? This heartbreaking story of a mother who died saving her daughter during the earthquake deserves to be heard. It’s heartbreaking.

Venezuela needs our help and sympathies right now.

Not sure what you think is fascist about it or what you mean. How is posting world news fascist? Are you calling bbc.com fascist?

I don’t know what that means. Has nothing to do with me and nothing to do with this article.

I’ll keep downvoting as long as you keep posting, thanks friend. Edit: Who’s stopping? Not me

Oh, good to see that you are doubling down and you won’t “wobble” on your serial downvoting. It’s funny tho, you know some people get so obsessed with others that they “wobble” and think of new ways to follow their stalker.

So I guess we should be glad that you won’t be a strange mr. “wobble” lolololol

I love that you are this annoyed. My own stalker! Yes!! This is great! Hey so when you “wobble” into bed at night, do you go to sleep as angry as you are when you are stalking people on Lemmy? 🤣

I’ll keep downvoting as long as you keep posting, thanks friend.

Oh ok, so you are admitting you are serial downvoting and it’s not based on content. Ok, cool. I knew you were doing that already, so glad to see you admit it for every one to see.

Oh, so you are just trying to target me, is what you are saying? So you are just being personal, and not downvoting based on content.

You seem to be targeting me because I banned you for serial downvoting, which was against the rules of the community I mod. And now you are doing it this community. That’s the hill you wanna go down on?! lol

Now that the pattern has been pointed out, people can see what has been going on. So the choice is yours. You can keep serial downvoting and keep showing that pattern, or you can move on.

Serial downvoting is against the spirit of most community guidelines, and in this case, it was against the rules of the community.

And yes, let’s keep that link up so everyone can see: https://lemvotes.org/user/NewPerspective@lemmy.world

EDIT: He magically stopped once I called him out on it. Wow, imagine that! LMAO

EDIT 2: Nope, he couldn’t resist and started up again. LMAO

Hi, @NewPerspective@lemmy.world. I know you’re against helping the Ukraine, so get ready to start your serial downvoting campaign and vote every single one of my posts here, so every can see what you’re doing.

Good points. I’ll also admit I have a fear of electricity so I’d totally be scared. But my local utilities are not saying this because they are worried about our well being, they are worried about making less money.

That’s a great model and it’s the one I use too.

I host my own AI, mostly for testing and because I wanted something that was mine and mine alone. I use Ollama and run models like Llama, Mistral, and Qwen. I honestly don’t use it much, but I wanted to have my own setup just in case online services go down or become less available. It’s part of my whole “own everything I use” mantra that I’ve been on lately.

I saw the article and thought, maybe I’ll be able to build one. Um, no. Awesome article anyway. Great find, OP

That’s what I’m talking about! This needs to be everywhere. Funny though, my local utilities already has it marked on their agenda to “discuss” these types of solar setups. They say they “may not be safe to use.”

Actually the reality is that utility companies stand to lose money from tech like this. So hopefully my community and others can stand up for this tech.

I mean… look up santabot

Thankfully that bot and the user who created the bot are no longer on Lemmy. That thing sucked ass, and the user who created it was a jerk too.

Removed by mod

But that’s exactly the point…I’m not some rare unicorn.

Most people on Lemmy make more money in a single year than I ever earned. A lot of you have probably never made less than $85k a year since college. Do you even realize how much money that actually is?

How many on Lemmy made at least that much on their very first fucking job. You know what I did as a job in college? I worked as a fucking dishwasher.

The average full-time U.S. worker makes about $62,000 a year.

Most of you wouldn’t even consider taking a job that pays that little. You can complain about prices, gas, and the cost of living all you want, but $85k a year is more than enough to live comfortably for the vast majority of Americans.

The truth is, most of Lemmy has no real idea how the average person actually lives. Yet you still come here and bash capitalism and technology. The very fucking things that let you earn well above the national average.

Most of you have had far more financial comfort than I ever did, even after adjusting for inflation. Plenty of you could buy a house in a nice small town and pay it off in less than 10 years. But instead, you choose to live in expensive cities, go out every night, buy the latest tech and electric cars, then act like your life is so hard.

I was a single dad at 19, could never afford to finish college. Worked two jobs so my kid could have a room of his own in a small dumpy house. I would stay awake at night scared to death of losing one of my jobs and then losing my kid to the state because I wouldn’t have housing. The vast majority of Lemmy has no idea what real struggle is, but they’ll come on here and removed about how terrible their lives are. What a fucking joke! What, you worried you won’t be able to make a payment on your brand new EV? lol

Get away from me with that nonsense. Most Lemmy’s have never had to work at McDonalds and wouldn’t know how to live off that salary if they did. Hell, my pension is smaller than half of your paycheck. LMAO

Most on this platform have multiple degrees, tech jobs that pay way above average, but you removed and moan. It’s all bullshit. You could go to a rural town in Missouri and buy a nice fucking house for $180K. And you know what the majority of replies here on Lemmy would be to that bit of info? “Yeah, but it’s Missouri and they probably voted for Trump, so fuck that!”

That shit right there is all of Lemmy. Every single one of you could have a house if you really wanted one. But holy smokes, you may have some conservative neighbors, so fuck that. hahhahhaha

Guess you don’t really want a house and affordable living then do you? Because god forbid that you have neighbors that vote different than you.

But all good. The reckoning is coming. Your good tech jobs are gonna go away, and then you can know what real fear is like. How many of you are gonna be able to survive digging ditches for a living… like I did for 6 years. Try that during summer in Missouri, then come back here and tell me how much of a “unicorn” I am. lololol

Oh ok, ok, gotcha. My bad.

So do you think that Lemmy is evenly divided between liberals and conservatives, and believes in even equal discussion about liberal and conservative viewpoints? Do you feel that someone who is a conservative would be welcomed here and be allowed to give their viewpoints in a fair and calm manner? Without fear of downvote brigading? You think it’s 50/50 here?

Do you feel that Lemmy should be described as a welcoming place for both liberals and conservatives to calmly talk about issues if you were describing it to someone?

Or would you say something like, “Lemmy is pretty liberal” as a general summary?

I was born in the 70’s, grew up in the 80’s. Stranger Things did not feel like the 80’s to me at all. They definitely tried to nail the look and stuff (sometimes it worked, sometimes not), but the whole thing just seemed to be made by someone who watched a couple of 80’s movies and said, “yeah, let’s set it during this time!” rather than actually lived thru the 80’s.

I was in my 20’s in the 90’s and that’s the time I miss most. OMG the girls, the music…that was a great. Fuck the 80’s…bring back the 90’s!

You’re absolutely delusional if you think there’s some hard evidence hidden away somewhere

Yep! If there were, the Democrats would have released it during Biden’s administration. Ain’t no Democrat gonna resist releasing dirt like that.

I’m a new Linux convert. And I love it! But you’re right. Also, in the past, when I tried to convert (when it was more difficult), the Linux communities then were um, less than helpful.

I remember back then not being super comfortable with the terminal, and they were like “Fuck off and come back when you know how to program simple shit, you fuckin’ newb.”

So I put it off for a long time. Now I love going into the terminal and learning new things. And it doesn’t seem like linux communities are as elitist as they used to be. But yeah, back in the day, I had such a bad experience with them, I actively boycotted Linux stuff. I was just a young office professional and needed my computer to work without a lot of tweaking.

I love it all now though! And I have plenty of time to tweak because I don’t work. Even tho, to be honest, it’s all pretty easy to install these days.

And that’s awesome! :)
