  • So depressing to see this get this many upvotes on lemmy. I want to go back to that brief period where I mistakenly believed that the userbase of lemmy was a bit more intelligent and skeptical than reddit’s. Nope, still just voting on gut reactions to headlines on whether they fit confirmation bias or not.

    ‘sure it’s just an unsubstantiated fbi tip that doesn’t make any sense if you actually read it. but trump bad so it must be true’ A random guy making a salacious claim about a former president without any evidence isn’t news just because you want to believe it.

    +bonus round ‘oh you’re skeptical of an unsubstantiated salacious claim somebody made about a former president? do you think trump good or something?’





  • The downvotes lol. You have to play along with the anarchist fantasy of “actually people would do 24 hour storm response shifts in one of the deadliest professions purely for love of the game, they definitely don’t tolerate the danger and [uncontrollable weather related] working conditions because of the compensation”

    I have the radical belief that if you sacrifice more for society you should receive more from society in return. idk maybe the people spending 24 hour shifts doing dangerous storm response calls hundreds of miles away from their families should get to go back to a nicer house than somebody who just stocks shelves 40 hours a week.

    *oh gross theyre an anti-leftist lib. I take back the expression of sympathy.

    Almost definitely puffballs, one of my favorite mushrooms to forage. Though I’ve never had ones this big and I hear they lose a bit of flavor if they’re giant.

    If you cut a *(vertical) cross section and it’s a uniform texture with nothing that looks like the structure of a classic capped mushroom that should rule out any lookalikes. Should still be good if the inside is white and not starting to turn brown.
