And there lies the actual problem. Is a fetus a person or not?
For all the leftists out there, remember that gun control is class warfare.
"We find that men who are more dissatisfied with the size of their penises are less likely to personally own guns across outcomes, including any gun ownership, military-style rifle ownership, and total number of guns owned."
Oh I'm plenty pissed at Trump, especially about bump stocks. I think most conservatives that actually care enough to post about it, hate politicians.
But the main thing is Biden could've addressed the border at any time.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — With political pressure mounting over the continued border crisis, President Biden has announced a plan to pretend to care about the issue until November 6.

When I first started, I was really anxious about not being a power tripping mod that I basically didn't mod. It got to the point admins from other instances were stepping in, and that just wasn't a good thing. The slap-fights were always an escalating thing, with no clear instigator, and I never did figure out if I should ban and who to ban. That was more of me specific issue, trying way too hard to be a good mod and making it worse.
Another thing was trying to figure out what actually counted as a conservative post, turns out theres a lot of gray area, and I fucked it up a couple times. That gray area killed me.
An easily avoidable mistake I made was the nazi ban. I should have banned name calling in general, but I wanted a clear keyword ban with zero gray area.
Those are the big three mistakes I made.
Rather than focus on the visibility of your content, maybe the problem is the content itself?
Oh I'm sure it's the content and the community. Some communities don't like certain types of content, and I knew this coming in. I don't mind the downvotes.
I’m trying my hardest to adhere to the rules of the community, and appreciate not getting permabanned yet
I appreciate that. We try to not to perma ban unless you evade another ban, most everything else is a shorter ban, one week to a month sort of bans.
But you’ve gotta see all you’ve done is create an echo chamber for content people aren’t actually interested in or aren’t buying.
I'm aware, but at the same time, lemmy as a whole is a big echo chamber, just in the other direction. By adding another echo going the other way, it helps dilute both echo chambers.
Those are two valid reasons for having a community and I’m glad you have a space, but I don’t see how it accomplishes anything besides appease your desire to see your posts stay elevated in thread.
Not going to lie, that's was the primary reason, but now we have multiple regular posters, Neuromancer, kaboom, among with a few others, and we have regular commenters like Boba and Satan that show up fairly often. It's no longer my personal blog anymore, it's grown into a tiny little community of it's own. I think that's worth something at least.
If I post an article from a pro-conservative site that can be easily disproven as either lies or misinformation, what’s the conversation of value to be had there?
You can prove it wrong in the comments, and it allows any conservatives to look at the proof, and maybe think to themselves "Hey, I was lied to about this, what else was I lied to about?" And the same thing goes for progressives, everyone gets lied to and mislead.
Hell, the main thing that lead me becoming a conservative was me finding out I was lied to by the news, and I started looking for primary sources, recordings, photos, studies, a bit of history, that sort of thing.
Yeah, it's deliberate. On the lemmy.world version of this sub, every time I would post a conservative story, another user would post something progressive, and then my post would get buried and no one would ever see it or interact with it. Why post if no one ever sees it?
I started this sub to get around that, literally so people would see the conservative posts and talk about them. Sometimes you learn something, sometimes it forces you to actually research your position, sometimes you see another slapfight. Much better than nothing.
If you want to start a sub of your own, just be warned, modding is filled with horrible judgement calls, and until you figure it out, you will fuck it up constantly.
Heres a direct translation of their character. Mine is a primary source, and they want to kill all the Jewish people. https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp
Hamas literally has the destruction of Israel in their charter and have repeatedly broken cease fires. I can understand that requirement.
The recent guilty verdict in the rigged political witch hunt trial against President Trump has left many on the right questioning what our next steps should be. It's clear that the forces aligned against us are relentless, and we must adapt our strategies to ensure the survival and growth of...

A long long time ago, I signed up for gab. Theyre a complete echo chamber, even worse than Hexbear if youd believe it. But hey, still conservative and still really irrelevant. And still batshit crazy sometimes.
What is he saying then? Because it looks like the judge ruled the horrid behaivor of one imdividual was just cultural. That sounds to me that the judge was racist.
Honestly yeah. And being under the retirement age would be nice too. Unfortunately, politicians are not great people.
It definitely was a mistake. I mean the Nazi word ban was stupidity, but at least that only fucked up this sub and got my account banned from half of lemmy. The homophobia reason messed it up for his account too, that was just wrong of us to do.
What would you rather have, King George or Putin? Two awful sides of the same coin imo.
I wouldnt call it woke, if I was more conspiracy inclined, maybe Russian style dictatorship.
Orange has positioned himself as the outsider and acts like this entire thing was a witch hunt. Convicting him didnt do much. Hell, come November, I'm still voting for the lesser of two evils, but Im not happy about it.
My bigger concern at this point is my state governer, mayor, and sheriff. Being real, they affect my day to day way than the president, and its not like the states give a shit about federal law anymore, with weed, 2a sanctuaries, illegal sanctuaries, that sort of thing.
Yeah, that dude was going around calling people "softy", which is homophobia adjacent, and tbh, most modding is just horrid judgement calls, and sometimes you judge wrong. But if you're too lenient, you get daily slapfights and thats no good either.
Modding is surprisingly hard. Ask me how I know, Im about the most public about my modding fuckups.
Imo, what should be done is no crime can disqualify you from office. That would prevent any corrupt judge from convicting candidates for political reasons.
If anyone was wondering, a convict can run for president. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_V._Debs
This is going to be the megathread. Everyone get your comments out here, no need for 50 different posts on the same thing.
Id argue that it is. Look at the muslim world, its pretty fucked up actually.
Jimbo picking the worst argument on the planet to make aside,
Islam is a religion that teaches peace and acceptance.
Thats not a true fact. Do you know what a jihad is?
I get what you're saying, but my god man, you couldve gone with literally anything else. There arent any good white supremacists.

I don't strictly agree with changing names back, but it's still conservative. What do y'all think?

Uri Berliner, a veteran at the public radio institution, says the network lost its way when it started telling listeners how to think.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here, surely that's worthy of an immediate perma ban?
This is just sad at this point.
It’s been a little over one month since new gun safety laws were implemented in the state of Michigan: Safe storage, universal background checks, and extreme risk protection orders — the latter better known as the “red flag law.” How’s it going?
