valval··on Bluesky is currently gaining more than 1M users a day
You seem to be advocating going to a party where the lobby is full of people yelling about something annoying, and then pushing past them to some separate room where those same people are talking about something else, for the moment.

I’d rather pick a different party.

I’m not speaking of any application of such measures, I’m stating my opposition of them.

Although now that you’re making my argument for me, it’s not cool that tax payer funded jobs would be terminated over that.

valval··on Four dead in fire as Tesla doors fail to open after crash
The analysis you refer to isn’t super interesting as it’s not controlled.

You’d need to be able to prove that independent safety and crash testing organisations are pushing out faulty results, since Teslas are among the safest (if not the safest) cars by their standards.

You’re talking about a different thing. I’m strictly talking about actual forcing, and by that I mean giving legal repercussions to people who wouldn’t do it.

Private businesses can place whatever bans on whomever they want, for all I care.

Any other left wing propaganda you’d want me to know of?

These topics are very clear cut to me. Forcing someone to take an experimental drug is not okay, and murdering small babies is not okay.

Have you thought of potential solutions for how to appease this problem? It doesn’t look like things are trending less polarised, but more. Do you have suggestions for turning the tides?

If it’s just going to keep getting worse and worse, what’s the final destination?

It’s just an objective fact that in any political thread the top comments are one of either:

1. A lazy attempt at seeming impartial while holding a subtle, elitist anti-republican opinion.

2. A not-so-subtly marxist or socialist outburst.

Under each comment the top 3 direct replies are an agreeing sentiment that pretends to add some nuance to the discussion. The fourth might be a contrarian (either right wing or conservative) opinion that gets barraged by downvotes and angry responses.

Are you a betting man? I’d be happy to have a large wager with you about that.

The good old autocracy that tries to get rid of autocratic policies and institutions. You can’t make this up.

I love the argument you’re making. If you’re against socialist policies, it serves as indication you don’t like the things I find good.

Please don’t ask me to fund anyone else’s EV purchase. It doesn’t matter to me one bit who’s in office to get rid of that evil policy, I’d still love it.

It doesn’t suck for the majority of people in the country. For them, it’s what they’d love to see.

Funnily enough, comments like yours are also what they’d love to see. Seeing leftists in tears over the policy changes we’re going to see is a great form of entertainment for many people.

Ah great, he doubles down on it. Good stuff.

Those are obvious bullshit leftist smear claims, but even if they were true it wouldn’t matter, as Trump is the CEO who has appointed capable people to do the work for him.

I suppose the only thing I can tell you before flagging you is that you might not want to go with the first thing you find if you want to find the truth.

Are you sure that there is a place in the world where vegetable oils haven’t correlated with the population getting unhealthier?

Trump is committed to making America healthy again.

I don’t think it’s a more complex subject than “these people are ours to control, not yours”.

I think you should be explicit about what it is you’re suggesting. I can’t be arsed trying to read your mind.
valval··on Trump wins presidency for second time
Funny how the president who has faced the most political persecution in the history of the US has you thinking he’s against independent judiciary or constitutional rights.
valval··on Trump wins presidency for second time
Trump will axe regulations and wants less bureaucracy. That means more rights for individuals.

Trump pushed abortion legislation back to the state level, which is a great thing to do. States should be able to decide for themselves.

Trump won’t do shit to stifle free speech, as that’s not who he is. I’m not sure what hoax you’re referring to here since there are so many, but you can rest assured that nobody will be persecuted or denied constitutional rights.

>He’s just racist and shitty

Frankly he’s neither of those things either.

Your portrayal of the majority of republicans wanting to deport all immigrants as some self evident truth might tell us more about you than the group you’re speaking of.

valval··on Why is it so hard to find a job now? Enter Ghost Jobs
Well this one’s easy; there’s less money going around than in say, 2021, and hiring people is harder.
valval··on Why the Guardian is no longer posting on X
He’s going with the old classic: the opposite side is brainwashed and dumb!

Another home run.

Oh yeah this thing that went against X rules?

To be fair they could censor a million differing opinions and still be the free speech platform among competitors.
