This is great suff and I agree for the most part.
I have not been occupying right spaces online. Don’t have the time / energy. And I don’t really put in the effort to try to change anyone’s mind Online because people are change resistant online.
But
I do argue politely IRL for things that would help. Better infrastructure, trains, good jobs, love everyone, let people do what they want as long as it doesn’t hurt others, transparency in money and government, and make good things in America. Still unlikely to change minds but at least making friendships with people different from me.
I guess my overall thesis would be: online discourse is has proven unproductive. I’m tired of reading vitriol and “other side is so dumb wow.”
Disappointed to see the echoiness of the echo chamber on Lemmy
Thanks! Good response. I think it is always worth the effort to try and understand and talk to people and use words to convince them. I think everyone can be convinced, we just have to pull the right levers.
But if it’s the community’s opinion that that is not an option, and only violence is the answer. I have very low hopes for our country’s future.
I would be cautious about writing off an entire side’s viewpoint as overdramatic. When they do that to the left, does anyone change their mind?
This is all about division.
We need to work on understanding the root cause of issues and working towards fixing that.
I think economics is actually at the core of the problem.
A lot of people don’t have the basics right now, and they lash out at anything they can to try to fix it.
The Overton window has shifted dramatically in the last 10 years. He represents aversion to that
Not everyone has a coke budget 😞
Tbh I don’t care about votes, I am more interested in the discussion haha
I like you but unsure how this contributes to the discussion haha
Not trying to be a dick though
Then you will be strong and healthy
No overhead storage, just under seat! Standing room for all
Yep air travel and the DMV make me wonder how we survived this long as a species haha
If they need to haul more stuff, then they should just check the bag.
Carry on is for stuff you need to use during the flight. That’s it.
No
Wheels enable people to pack too much stuff, since they don’t have to carry it
People should either pack less or check their bags
If you are not CARRYING it. It is not a CARRY-ON.
Semantics, but also if you disagree, you should be up voting the post and telling me you hate me
Reminder that this is unpopular opinion
Is it easier to carry 40 pounds in a bag with wheels or without?
Would they be more or less likely to pack a heavy bag of they did not have wheels?
The wheels are definitely about the weight. They promote packing heavier and more, since the owner doesn’t have to physically carry it through the airport. I bet you most of those wheeled bags are 40+ pounds.
They will be less likely to pack 5 bricks in a backpack because they’d have to carry it through the airport instead of rolling it.
I’m talking about those bags that technically fit the maximum possible dimensions for carry-ons that have gotten really popular in the past few years.
But they allow people to pack very heavy, and most Americans are out of shape. So the plane takes twice as long to board and empty since many people struggle to lift the bags.
Yeah this is the worst! You know a few designers raised this exact problem during review, too, and were shut down
This would work better as Nth floor of a building
