They largely believe they're the main characters in a universe created just for them by a super being.

Their belief that this is all planned is unshakable. Because the second that's in doubt, so is everything else they believe.

In order to believe in climate change, they have to stop being religious. That's a harder sell. So they stick their heads in the sand and pretend it's all a part of God's plan.

Holy shit, I totally remember them and trading cards in the 90s. Always wondered what happened with that, now I know.

What a fall from grace. Then and fleer were the shit.

Gerrymandering doesn't affect presidential elections. Only the lower house of Congress and the state legislative branch.

That's our bar here? That someone who has put in years and years of hard Dev effort, every day, built up a community, took risks, etc, should just be happy he has food on the table?

Fuck that noise. I don't care if he's already s multi millionaire, he can charge whatever he wants, and we can choose to pay it or not. The man is running a business model here. He's not done weekend warrior FOSS hacker. He deserves to be paid for his efforts.

Sometimes you have to pay for keeping things free, if that makes any sense.

FOSS can't exist in a vacuum. The developers spend a lot of time on things and they need to be paid for their efforts, otherwise we won't get great products like Sync.

If you want things that are well maintained and supported, then there has to be income for those owners to provide those services.

Sync for lemmy is a top tier client. I'm willing to pay to get and support that model. It's not like the 17 dollars a year is a big deal. I spend more than that on a single sushi roll sometimes.

I bought the yearly subscription.

One, I want to support devs making top tier clients for lemmy. Two, this stuff isn't free to do or maintain, as a dev, I recognize and appreciate that.

If someone comes out with a better client for cheaper, then I'll switch, otherwise, these terms are acceptable.

Thank you for your hard work! I love this instance the best.

You're an asshole. Fuck you, and your shitty beliefs that are literally killing women in America today.

Your religion limits what you can do, not others. Know the difference.

That's insane. How in the world do they rationalize that to themselves?

💯 with you here. Fuck McConnell. Some people do deserve to die for all the horrible things they've done to their fellow man. He's one of them. Limbaugh was another.

Just wish it didn't take 81 years to happen. He's lived a long and full life, and that's a terrible reward for all the hate and evil and death he's brought into this world.

This is on brand for Republicans. As evil as McConnell is, and as horrible as he's made the Republican party so far, they are still the Republican party. Which means they'll use McConnell as long as convenient, even if they have to weekend at Bernie him.

God damn, that's depressing to think about.
