Depends on the leftist, but generally I think hoarding land you’re not personally using, especially during a housing crisis, is wrong.

I also think that charging rent from people to simply exist in a place you aren’t using anyway is wrong. When she pays the mortgage she’s buying equity, when they pay the rent they’re buying jack shit. It’s an enormous parasitic drain on the economy.

But I don’t think she’s, like, evil. Not the same way that major landlord companies are. And I understand the motivations. I still disagree with the methods, but until the great commie revolution/rapture (/s) comes we all have to engage with problematic capitalist systems to a greater or lesser extent.

Instead of fishing for a debate how about you just go ahead and say whatever it is you’re thinking

Most persona/smt games fit the bill

I mean, the case could go cold. People have gotten away with murder before. Granted there’s a ton of extra scrutiny in this situation, but there’s a definite chance.

I’ve heard them used interchangeably, but I’ve got family who are into both the cars and the motorcycles so I may have been getting confused

That bimmer looks sick

Not sure if the intended message is really coming through…

Pretty sure it’s 100% efficient (100% energy consumed is emitted as heat) meaning it’s exactly as efficient as a space heater. Only way to get more efficient is a heat pump.

I’m not sure how much these endorsements actually matter… Lord knows Liz Cheney’s endorsing Kamala didn’t tip the scales.

Would establishment libs support a leftist? Maybe not. But that doesn’t mean that voters would necessarily follow suit.

Probably. People tend to vote for their team - regardless of the actual underlying policy

No promises, though.

Short of congress changing the law or a successful coup, neither of which are necessarily off the table, yes these next four years will be Trump’s last in office. Who knows what either party will have to offer in 2028.

This decision is made for most people by the electrician who wired the house. This seems like as decent a hypothesis as any for why they seem to prefer washers to the left

Metal. A lot of people kinda freak out when they hear you like metal of any kind. And not in a good way.

Yikes. We’re all thinking about how covid disproportionately affects the elderly, but it also disproportionately affects people who live in denser population centers.

I don’t like talking about pandemics in terms of which political party they help, but I guess the dems may have been hit harder in the end…

For conversation about various subjects with broad appeal and a left wing slant, sure.

For tech support or info on niche topics, not at all. Lemmy is not big enough, old enough, or easily indexed by search engines.

The porn is also pretty mid tbh

You’re not going to hear from men who actually do this because they don’t have a good reason and aren’t typically comfortable with the kind of introspection the question demands.

Some people are exclusionary pricks who look for excuses to judge others. They don’t have or need a reason. It’s bullying.

The bottom arrow is, definitionally, pointing left.

If I ask you to turn around to the right, are you going to ask me what side of you I’m referencing?

No, because humans have a pretty clear forward direction. Screws don’t. You say turn a screw to the right, do you mean make the top of the screw move right or the bottom move right?

Most people assume the top, but not all, and the language is ambiguous.

If you’re looking head on to the screw/nut/whatever then we’re talking about the top of the screw/but/whatever.

You can also imagine if the nut was actually a wheel. Which way would you spin it to make it roll left or right.

Confused the hell out of me at a young age. That’s how I came around to thinking of it

It is very much state pride as well, and force of habit; most Americans don’t travel out of country much (for a few reasons) so we don’t often have to tell people where we’re from who don’t already have a good grasp of American geography.

Also, frankly, people can usually tell we’re American before we tell them, for better or worse. Might as well give you a bit more specificity.

You could probably sell Americans on lowering the drinking age in many States, but there’s some big legal hurdles and pretty much everyone agrees we’ve got bigger problems to deal with first.
