A counterargument to this is that a lot of people (who would put in the minimal effort) don't come here instead of Reddit because their niche community isn't represented well. So while it's nice to have higher effort/engagement members, you can't possibly cover all of what most people want to see without a lot of those.

    I know the supreme Court is heavily biased at the moment, but what possible logic could they use to get out of the 22nd amendment saying "no person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice"? They can't just add words there, and it isn't ambiguous at all

    You realize that a comments section can have more than 1 discussion going on in it, right? It's not a "distraction" to talk about something else or disagree with a part of someone's comment.

    The point being discussed is that this is a terrible law and an example of Mississippi being a shit hole

    This is not the comment I replied to. The comment I replied to was essentially saying that MS and therefore the US are not worth visiting, and I think that's silly.

    "This is fine"

    I didn't say this. I actually agree with you that the MS law is terrible, but trying to push back on the general sentiment of the original comment I replied to: saying the US is the "worst" because of something that Mississippi does.

    You're actually arguing that the difference between being put to death and not is a "millimeter off the floor"? That is some privileged nonsense, frankly.

    I agree that the US has problems, but hyperbolic doomerism is hardly conducive to changing any of that.

    just go fuck yourself, how’s that?

    This also seems incredibly dramatic

    I'm not trying to say that the US is perfect, but do you honestly believe that the US is the "worst" place to be any of the things you listed?

    There are plenty of places in the world you would be put to death for being gay. Try asking an immigrant from literally any of those countries if they prefer the US and get back to me.

    the worst country

    This seems a little dramatic

    Edit: lol downvoted for mildly pushing back against the idea that the US is the worst of the ~200 other countries in the world. Never change, Lemmy.

    I've mostly been killing Vardorvis because I think it's fun and challenging, but in the last 5 kills I've made a total of 25k (mith javelins, lots of lava runes, etc.) and definitely burned more than that in supplies. Maybe it's a skill issue, but I am definitely in the hole quite a bit when death costs are so high and it's super easy to die at Vard.
