          (P.S. After the birth happens, parents should never, ever, say “I wish you were never born”. Your window of decision was during pregnancy, you don’t get to say those words to hurt the kids after they were born. Either get an abortion, or live with the fact you chose to give birth to your child(ren), choose wisely.)

          Why? You’ve already stated that unborn children deserve moral consideration as if they’re people, and that killing them is ok is it’s “psychological self defense”. You trying to set some arbitrary limit on when that’s allowed seems entirely like you just trying to have a double standard where you don’t have to take on the mantle of being anti-abortion but still want to be able to use it as a cudgel against China.

              Again, I said abortions are a necessary evil if the mother at the time of the pregnancy decides against giving birth.

              Yup, and your reasoning would 100% apply to infantaside.

              You are a nazi, please delete your account. This conversation ends here, cease further interactions.

    I like to be informed, however I wouldn’t call whatever happens on lemmy as information sharing but more like endless ranting. I get it it is what it is but I think it is healthier to have more than one topic

    On the plus side my internet usage went down because I just do news check up daily and I lose desire to use internet further

    Is it really political any more when evil people have used politics to gain control over our lives to wreck our retirement funds, deport and possibly murder our friends, and oh just for fun destroy the entire foundational structure of science and discovery?

    Nope. That’s not political. That’s awareness of the environment in which we find ourselves, and an attempt to deal with it.

    Hopefully it will be over soon (in part thanks to awareness campaigns) so we can go back to politics where we have some conservatives, some progressives or whatever, and some single-issue parities that can make common cause with the others from time-to-time. Politics would be so wonderful to have now. It’s only been gone for maybe a decade and I miss it so much.

    I might occasionally be accused of being political, but yes. Lemmy is no escape. Many users from any instance will jam their politics into anything and everything, constantly. It’s genuinely weathering.

        The Biden years were pretty chill too until every leftist in the country decided that carrying water for a terrorist organization was more important than keeping a fascist out of the most powerful office on earth.

        What’s more important? Giving a voice to 2 million Palestinians who are always going to hate us anyway, or defending the entire free world from creeping authoritarianism?

        Do you feel the trade-off was worth it? Do the Palestinians?

            The situation was still salvageable when Israel’s fascist government was being restricted by American diplomatic pressure. Is the situation better now? Where will it be in another 4 years?

              It wasn’t being restricted by American diplomatic pressure; the only thing American diplomatic pressure was being used for was to quash opposition to the genocide.

              The genocide was every bit as unrestrained under Biden, and the only reason you think otherwise is because you were a genocide denier and apologist when it was your team doing it. In that sense, the situation is better now, because at least liberals are actually acknowledging what is happening, rather than engaging in endless denial and apologia.

      Starting to think of unsubing from technology, too often it’s about trump and musk. But it’s also one of the largest communities.

      Problem when most active communities at least sometimes include US political bullshit is that few are left without it if you just want to block it. We are not all Americans, it isn’t helpful to constantly have US bullshit showing up. Hopefully as lemmy grows the smaller communities will grow and I can have a feed full of kayaking, Linux memes and homebrewing.

      Exactly. It’s like being in a house that’s on fire, laying down for a nap, and complaining when the flames make it too bright to sleep. You can ignore it and move deeper inside the house to nap like you used to, but there’s no fire brigade this time.

          I’ve always thought that saying was weird. If I’m specifically grilling, I want to taste the heat. The smoky aroma is what makes grilling special to me. If you just want to taste the meat, it isn’t that different to using a pan imo. That’s why I like coal grills but prefer a wood fire, though that can be unpractical for some stuff

            Using a pan and a propane grill are vastly different imo. I dont dislike charcoal or wood. I think each has thier own place depending on the meal you are preparing. For example I like to make steak and chicken kabobs on a propane grill and burgers and hotdogs on a charcoal.

            At the end of the day though seasoning and meat quality take center stage. So its all about what you have access to and can afford.

              For me grilling is less about just food preparation and more about the different experience of using a grill and the different taste you got from it. So with propane, even though it makes food prep a lot easier and more consistent, much more convienient, it loses the taste aspect so a big part of the whole thing is missing for me. It’s all about what aspects you value and how much.
