    I worry that billionaires who are profiting from these policy changes will be able to cement them.

    The US and Canadian population is incredibly docile, so I don’t expect revolt unless things become terrible. We’ve seen our share of wealth shrink over the past few decades, and the cost of living skyrocket, but our reaction is to elect more of the same.

    Different people have different considerations.

    When I’ve rented vehicles with a digital speedometer I haven’t felt like I’m missing anything without a dial. I haven’t found myself in situations where the movement of the needle helps me.

    When I get into rental cars with a dial, I feel like I need to watch it closely because I’m not familiar with where the ticks are. It doesn’t work for me at all.

    It’s the kind of thing that I didn’t realize I wanted until I had to deal with the alternative.















  • On Reddit I just read without logging in. It was nice. I’m trying to help build communities on Lemmy, so I’m posting and commenting.

    Since doing that, I’ve been told I’m enjoying my hobby wrong, that my friends enjoy their hobby wrong, the links I researched for a comment thread are wrong (without references to correct info), and that I’m probably wrong about how I want to live.

    I know I should have thicker skin, but the slow drip of unfriendliness is alienating.
