Gen Z men voted for Trump to drain 'the swamp.' After Epstein, they feel duped.

As a gen z man who did not vote for Trump, supports the rights of people, and generally is a good person to those around me - generalist arguments like this are poison to your goal. Blaming every man from 14 to 29 (depending on who you ask) is only going to succeed in alienating those men who are not going to be unreceptive of your actual point.

Age, skin color, gender, sex, sexuality, whatever the combination - blame people for what they do, not the circumstances of their birth.

The Trump voting neo-nazi chuds can get fucked. Don't lump young liberals like me in with those cult of personality dicks with lazy generalizations, please.

I feel this. In my line of work I really don't like using them for much of anything (programming ofc, like 80% of Lemmy users) because it gets details wrong too often to be useful and I don't like babysitting.

But when I need a logging message, or to return an error, it's genuinely a time saver. It's good at pretty well 5%, as you say.

But using it for art, math, problem solving, any of that kind of stuff that gets tauted around by the business people? Useless, just fully fuckin useless.

Hank Green went off about this recently. "Fish" just has no scientific meaning, and there are fish tetrapods.

I don't necessarily disagree, but ultimately there is a problem in classifying "fish" in the modern scientific taxonomy system - it has no good phylum to fit in as its a term that's a bit more broad than that, but not broad enough to make for a kingdom.

It's a pretty good snack or small breakfast, actually. Top it with some salt and pepper, it's quite nice. Assuming you like avocado, at least.

To me the bigger issue of the argument is that the boomers seem to think it's some extravagant luxury. I can get a good avocado for like a $1.50 - breakfast avocado toast ends up being maybe $2.

Man, this. I moved in with a friend to my first apartment like 10 years ago. With two more a couple floors down.

Nowadays all 4 of us live in a big house together and it's great. Sure there's some conflict, but at the end we're still friends and we can reconcile like adults. I'd move more of our close friends in if we had the space. We even briefly had a 5th housemate when he was between apartments and that was cramped, but still actually very nice.

Good friends is the key - to me, this sounds great. I have plenty of friends I'd love to have this close, it might even be hard to pick "just" 6.
