Betteridge's law of headlines. Any headline that ends with a question the answer is always no.

There's literally dozens of us

No one reads the articles man. I won't lie, I'm guilty of it, but it's mainly cuz Im lazy and go to the comments hoping someone will give a synopsis.

Never said it didn't, but reddit is more left leaning than right as a whole.

Lemmy is just straight lefty though. I'm a liberal person so it doesn't bother me other than it just being a massive circle jerk most of the time.

Look I understood that when I made that comment no one would like it, but it's just the truth...

I've been here since the API garbage from reddit, and use it daily so I feel like I can make an honest assessment of my experience thus far.

I like it, its great. Better than reddit in a lot of ways. If someone is/was a heavy Reddit user I recommend it.

Welcome to Lemmy! If you thought Reddit was left leaning, you're in for a wild ride!

Also if you're an American you probably shouldn't be, because they automatically assume you're from the Bible belt. They will simultaneously say they don't care for American politics but then will always be talking about it.

Linux is the best OS just don't get into it. You better be using firefox. All the niche subs you had on Reddit aren't here, and you'll more likely just be blocking communities instead of subbing to anything.

And no one reads the articles, way more than reddit imo

The comments are slightly more interesting though.

It's not all that bad though, I'm being a little sarcastic, but only a little...

So that's why my work laptop is down for the count today. I'm even getting that same error as the thumbnail picture

Whenever I see something like this I feel I must defend my friend who's a cop.

Before being a cop he was a lifeguard at a beach and my bassist.

Baywatch may tell you differently, but being a lifeguard is a seasonal job, and not a career. The next level of being a lifeguard is becoming a cop, so he did, and he has only beaten one black man so far.

I read it and watched the video.

The video was of sarcastic tone, but he was totally serious about his support for Trump.

He makes it seem like California is just this lawless place of criminals running around everywhere, because of what he claims of slashed police force budgets and closed prisons.

When he had a deputy get caught with a bunch of fentanyl supplied by the cartel, and his police force had an increased budget of 270 million since 2019.

He's totally one of those "rules for thee, not for me" kind of people.

Riverside sucks anyway.

It's usually less that that too. Typically if you show you have got your license within the time of getting the ticket they let you go. If he just showed up and said he has an appointment or was going to make one, the judge would've made another date so that he could prove he got his license. Then no fine or jail.

Happened to me. I was pulled over without a license. Immediately went and got my license. They made a date but the mailing address they sent to I wasn't there. Being dumb I thought meant it was handled.

Lo and behold like 10 years later, when I'm getting hired for my current job they say I have a bench warrant. I went down to the courthouse the next day, the judge gave me a real weird look since it's been like 10 years, and said " do you have your license " I showed it to him, and then let me go.

Suck for you, but I would expect no less from someone who's username is SatansMaggotyCumFart.

Dude you hit the nail on the head right there. I've been thinking of installing Reddit back because some of the content I enjoyed there is just not here.

Ive tried to recreate the subs I had on Reddit to here, but it's empty. So I just browse All and block anything that has to do with politics, but it's impossible because everything is just lefty politics in some way. Like I'm a liberal person, but I feel like I'm considered right leaning from some of the shit people say on here.

And if I don't have NSFW off it's just trans everywhere.

Like do what you wanna do, be who you wanna be, but I don't wanna see THAT lol
