Lol?? Why so many downvotes

Why even use forums if you’re just going to discourage user engagement?

Didn’t the article say they’re voting democrat from now on though? I don’t get it

Hyphens clarify compounds, they don’t create them. Grammatically, ‘child eating’ modifies ‘pedophiles’, the head noun. Reading ‘child’ as its own noun would require ‘a child’ or a different construction, which isn’t what’s written.

It says “stolen by child eating pedophiles”. The preposition “by” takes a noun phrase as its object.That noun phrase is “child eating pedophiles”. The head noun is clearly pedophiles. “child eating” is a modifier (a compound/participle phrase) describing those pedophiles

Hyphenation would make it clearer, but its absence doesn’t suddenly create a new valid reading where “child” becomes a separate noun or the main object

Gamer and yeah

You’re interpreting a child being the subject of the statement. For this to be true, the original text would need to say ‘a child’. Only then would the sentence mean there’s a child going about eating paedophiles

I tend to tip when they don’t call and just take the picture. I think I’m cancelling you out

Rage bait post

I would do anything for Firefox to stop making a new audio sink for every tab that plays audio. Of course Chromium lets you have just one sink, so I’m just going to blame Firerox’s implementation of HTML5

I’m impressed. He uses arch

Are the marching orders that it’s now a shock collar lol

Shocking

Where do you monitor the collapse of late stage capitalism on the internet

Can I see the evidence? inb4 you deflect and refuse to cite anything

So the evidence doesn’t exist yet, but you’ve decided the conclusion anyway. That’s exactly the problem I’m pointing out. This is what MAGA does btw

I’m glad we agree capitalism has problems

At least you’re honest about pushing a narrative rather than engaging with evidence

The civil war has a clearly dominant causal factor that historians overwhelmingly agree upon. Modern socio economic issues don’t have that same level of single cause consensus. That’s why boiling everything down to ‘capitalism’ is overly reductive

It feels really gaslighting/dismissive to read things like this. Why is it that people who talk about concepts like capitalism assume a bunch of information about you based on a complete lack of information? Is the idea the only reason I’m not anti capitalist must either be because a) I’m rich (extremely far from the truth), or b) I’m especially susceptible to propaganda? (Which would be weird… Otherwise why would I be using Lemmy in the first place when perhaps capitalism instead suggests I should be using Reddit).

My opinion: It kind of sucks to reduce people down like this lol. Am I insane for thinking this
