Didn’t Bill Gates revolutionize home computing for the average user? I’d consider that important work.

And why is it just billionaires? What about people worth tens of millions? Shouldn’t we also talk about them? Steve Wozniak is estimated to be worth around 140 million. Is he also evil?

You’re asking me to provide numbers for the nation with death camps for its own citizens.

Do you get why that’s impossible?

Kim has definitely killed more people than bush.

Ah yes, my comment seethed with Zionism, didn’t it?

Thanks for proving my point.

It’s great if you’re looking for an echo chamber, but if your opinion is slightly different, you’re ostracized.

I mean I guess that’s just the internet nowadays, but lemmy isn’t any different.

Lemmy is great at proving me right.

Uh no. Lemmy is very much a groupthink entity. If you don’t agree with the hive, you’re berated and downvoted into oblivion.

My employer says this as a way to show they won’t ever sell out.

Looking at the trust, they aren’t allowed to sell out lol

But I thought grass is bad

Weed and grass killer, yes, otherwise you have patches growing up.

Like who? Best Buy does St Jude’s. Most grocery stores are doing it through Feeding America.

And that means that you wouldn’t be able to use the donations as tax deductible on taxes.

No they don’t. You are the one making the donation, according to tax code, you are the one who gets to claim the donation.

I’m the same, the typical answer I get told is to move lol

What do you mean we’re not building homes? I have plenty of homes and apartments being built in my city that cater to lots of strata of incomes.

Tired of being nice. I do it all the time and it’s never returned in kind.

Lemmy users act like this is a different place, that it’s a more wholesome internet, what a joke. It’s as bad as anywhere else.

Well there’s considerable difference between an apartment complex in a suburb not designed for heavy traffic and less developed areas where there’s room for expansion for infrastructure.

We can’t expand roads in my area, either for an extra lane (which I know is a sin) or for buses because it would be right up on houses at that point.

However, just a few miles down the road on the main drag, there’s undeveloped land that would be perfect. Build it there.

When I say “backyard” I mean literally in your backyard. Instead of name calling and downvoting, have a fucking conversation and ask in a respectful manner what somebody means. Stop being a douche because you automatically assume somebody who thinks slightly differently than you is wrong.

I think it’s more so that people don’t want an apartment complex built in their backyard, not that they are opposed to them being built in an area where there is proper infrastructure

Who is “many”? Do you have surveys and data to support this?

I don’t think anybody thinks that.
