True, but isn’t that true of the vast majority of people?

Most of us yap a lot but don’t actually do much, and those who do do things tend to yap first, right?

If my card-carrying Democrat neighbor, for example, said “I support socialism” I wouldn’t admonish them out of suspicion they don’t intend to follow through because they haven’t done anything concrete yet; I would say “Good on you! Welcome to the team! Here’s what we can do together:”

Presumably she’s said somewhere that she supports DSA or socialism (or else why would OP make this meme)?

Is that not “the right thing?”

The American left needs to fall out of love with cannibalism.

I don’t care why Harris wants to do the right thing now.

Allow people to save face and change their positions - attacking them for “flip flops” is to say “No reasonable adult should ever change their mind about anything” which is not only bananas, but discourages people from doing critical thinking because they’d face humiliation for reversing course.

The older you get, the less excited and more annoyed at New for New’s Sake; the yoots either find it normal (everything is new when you’re brand new) or thrilling and exclusive (“Look, something changed! Wow! I bet fewer (older) people understand this!”)

When I go to the grocery store I’m not looking for an adventure, I just want to buy the things and leave. But that’s not as profitable.

Apparently they need a better rate structure if they’re having to use low-flow laws as a crutch.

Sounds like it wastes both sides’ time and money, but measuring up to determine who is wasting the most time and money doesn’t really help anything other than furthering Whataboutisms.

Ideally, we change to a system that doesn’t do that (nearly as much).

So then a person could make his living by interviewing for jobs he’s not qualified for and could never get?

That’s already a flaw of the current system, so no change means no new downside. People receiving unemployment usually have to prove they’re looking for work, but there’s not usually a requirement that you’re applying to things you’re likely to get.

Why wouldn’t they simply tax water use at progressive rates? If you use a lot of water, you have to pay a lot of money (ideally, towards water processing services).

Doing low-flow laws makes for easy loophole setups like this, not to mention simply buying a device in/from another state. I doubt their cops are kicking down doors for Suspicion of High-Flow Toilet.

You’re getting into the weeds about the definition of “work.”

Any definition of “work” that excludes calling, writing applications (AKA writing reports), emailing, interviewing (AKA meetings) etc. also excludes many paid positions.

“Why don’t old(er than me) people simply die and stop being leeches?” is a wild take.

Do you apply that logic to other people who take more from society than they (currently) contribute?

Wait 'til you hear that you’re “supposed to” pronounce the H in “who,” “what,” “when,” “where,” “why,” and “which.”

I don’t have any evidence either way as far as who uses old.reddit to submit versus who doesn’t, and I don’t think there is any.

Sadly this is (very popular, according to comments here and on Reddit) copium. old.reddit.com visits are a rounding error, per the traffic stats of the normie subreddit I moderate:

Most people simply do not have the technical acumen and tenure on Reddit to know to type in that subdomain. As always, relevant XKCD (posted today on Lemmy, funnily enough):

True, forgot all about the tenure system, which I barely understand beyond the memes as it is.

Still, earlier discussion holds; outrage that they didn’t fire him yet makes zero sense.

Now, as Devil’s Advocate arguing against you and me, Harvard could choose to drop him at the mere hint of an accusation. You don’t have a right to a job and not getting fired without proven cause in any state but I want to say Montana? The rest are “Right to Work.”

Back on Team “Give them a second for crying out loud,” we’re talking about Harvard, allegedly one of the best colleges in the world. We can expect them to do right by probably investigating this properly, and we’d hope any employer we’d ever work for would bother to take more than a femtosecond to figure out if there’s evidence supporting an accusation against us.

Obviously a lot of countries do have Big R “Rights” as far as labor goes, but the US is not one of them.

Administrative Leave starts when a formal investigation begins. You’re basically calling for Chapter 10 of a book to be over when Chapter 1 barely started.

In other words, your question amounts to:

“An investigation started? Shouldn’t it be over before it began?”

No, that’s not how investigations work.

You’re being ten times the troll I could ever aspire to be, especially in light of your getting shitty in this comment.

Enjoy the block.

You inventing this “no politics on lemmy at all” strawman is all you.

Okay, off my community. Is that better? I can’t tell if you’re being intentionally pedantic or not, but I guess if you’re not, the main issue I’m getting at here is politics is a whack-a-mole where it’s NIMBY until there’s nowhere but /c/politics to talk about it, at which point the baddies win because all dissent is properly quarantined and people have a much easier time pretending nothing is going wrong.

Also can you put all of your personal attacks in the garbage where they belong?

Your comment was a pain to read. Am I understanding correctly that you’re mostly repeating yourself and ignoring my point about your false dichotomy?

Nobody here is saying we need to invade /c/cutepicsofpuppies with Donald Trump is Bad posts. You’re saying “Get Politics off my Lemmy.” I’m saying somewhere in the middle is best.
