and I congratulated you on your pedantry, and now you have your answer as to why it wasnt considered in the context of the RECENT (note that bit) attacks on Gaza, as that would have been using something that happened in the future as the context for what was said.

If you go back to the 80s in the UK women were significantly to the right of men, voting for the tories over labour.

I dont disagree that labour were very centrist this election, but saying that they went right of the tories is is just daft when they are putting huge amounts of money into green energy, expanding workers rights and focusing on increasing housing stock. Meanwhile at the last election the tories were still saying they were going to dump migrants in the middle of Africa.

Long covid is generally definied as having any symptoms persisiting greater than 6 (?IIRC) months after first detection, so having a niggling cough that hung around that long would count as long covid. Some form of permenant brain damage is incredibly vague and sounds like it would apply to a night of heavy drinking.

Interestingly this seems to be a uniquely American phenomenon. In the recent UK general election there wasnt much of a gap between young men and women with a majority of both voting for the centre/centre-left (56% and 58% respectively), though there was a bit more of a diference outside that with the split between greens/far right being 12%:12% for young men and 23%:6% for young women.

Yeah, there is every reason to be sceptical of the hype around AI, in particular from the big tech companies. But to a significant part of the Lemmy userbase saying "AI" is like saying "witch" in 17th century Salem. To the point where people who are otherwise very much left wing and anti-corporate will take pro-IP/corporate copyright maximalist stances just becuase that would be bad for AI.

I mean there is, its the old Soviet block countries, its just not really relevant anymore.

Yes very good, but you asked why it wasnt evaluated in the context of "the biggest massacre of Palestinians since the Nakba?”, and I gave you the answer, because that hadnt happened at that point.

I honestly cant remember the last time I bought a game and it didnt just work with no tinkering on proton. Though I am on AMD not Nvidia which makes things a lot easier.

Because in this case it was said on the 11th of October, before Isreal began its genocidal attacks on Gaza but after Hamas murdered over 1000 Isrealis.

IIRC it just defaults on Ubuntu's handling for close source Nvida drivers (though its been a while since I used pop os so that could be out of date)

No you are not upper class if you are a married couple of teachers, that is exactly the point you made before about people overestimating their place in society. If you have to work to earn money you are not upper class, the upper classes already have so much wealth that they can live off the passive proceeds of that wealth.

Yes your dual income might but you in the top 15% of incomes, but wealth is the defining characteristic of the truly rich not income.

it never was deleted, all that happened is that an extra line was added to a database that said "comment 65432426542654 now should be displayed as "fuck you, reddit" rather than the original text". The original post is still in an earlier row available to reddit, it just isnt being displayed on their web page.
