I mean people are running out of water now, but I don’t think there are many ghost towns, yet.

I don’t think it will happen within 30 years, but for sure, with climate change a lot of places where it was possible to get water will no longer be able to get access to it easily.

It’s a noticeable recent change for the worse. It’s hard to find anything interesting there anymore. Is just the same bot-reposted content. And number of the comments seem AI-generated too.

Science has citations, not tweets.

Oh, so the poster is upset that the person who is running a pizza-only app isn’t also getting their salad offers.

PixelFed never claimed to be selling pizzas (images) and salads (text). Just pizzas right?

Probably not, at least not until there is coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources. Wikipedia generally doesn’t include trivia.

I believe new way is like dying from laughter. So it’s a replacement for 🤣.

To this day, I don’t really know the new way to use the skull emoji. 💀

You are right, but 99% of the time when people on this site talk bad about liberals, they mean modern liberalism in the US. Not classical or general liberalism.

Modern liberalism in the US does have a position on economic philosophy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_liberalism_in_the_United_States

Economically, modern liberalism accepts a role for government to protect against market failures, protect competition and prevent corporate monopolies, and supports labor rights.[2] Its fiscal policy supports sufficient funding for a social safety net, while simultaneously promoting income-proportional tax reform policies to reduce deficits. It calls for active government involvement in other social and economic matters such as reducing economic inequality, expanding access to education and healthcare, and protection of the shared natural environment.[3]

Error correction policies like retractions mean the journal is better, not worse, right?

The difference is the peer-review process. Without a good peer-review process, those journals won’t have a strong cite score and so they will be considered unreliable.

But I mean an EL5 version is that liberals and socialists on the left both care about their neighbors. The disagreement is just how much of life should be handled by markets vs public/collective systems.

I mean you aren’t wrong when it comes to American liberal politicians. That’s just the differences between liberalism and socialism in theory, the actual differences in practice is another story.

I guess I should specified Modern Liberalism in the United States. Since liberalism means something else outside the US.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_liberalism_in_the_United_States

To be fair to liberals, liberalism is also a system to take care of your neighbors.

Liberalism is basically capitalism with patches. Public option health care, government contractors, food stamps, tuition assistance, bus vouchers, child tax credits.

Socialism is a capitalism replacement. Universal health care, government organizations, free government grocery stores, free education, free public transportation, free day care.

Both groups on the left care about their neighbors.

I didn’t realize driving in the middle lane when not passing was that controversial.

It really doesn’t have anything to do if there is a car in front or not.

At least in the Pittsburgh area, because of the hilly terrain, there is often not enough reaction time between seeing if a car is waiting on an on ramp and switching lanes.

Also, it isn’t just me. AAA driving instructions say use the middle lane for through-traffic.

Generally, the right lane of a freeway is for entering and exiting the traffic flow. It is a staging lane, for use at the beginning and end of your freeway run. The middle lanes are for through traffic, and the left lane is for passing. If you are traveling on a roadway with more than two lanes, you should move out of the right lane unless you are driving at a slower speed or preparing to enter or exit.
