scytale , in The US mall is not dying

Indoor malls are gonna have a resurgence as temperatures get higher and higher and it’s no longer feasible to spend time outdoors for prolonged periods.

Rinox ,

If you cover everything in asphalt, yes, that’s what’s going to happen.

spongebue ,

I’ve been to the middle east (Oman). So many malls there for basically that exact reason. And a friend of mine grew up in Bahrain and said the same.

SweetSitty ,

Same thing in Thailand as well. Malls will never go extinct because they’re air conditioned areas that anyone can enter.

CoderKat ,

That’s definitely gonna be a locational thing. In my area (near Toronto, Canada), I’d say malls are more popular in the winter because they offer an escape from the cold and there isn’t that much to do in the winter, anyway. Summers in my area aren’t going to get hot enough to change that any time soon.

But for something like Arizona, it’s really easy to picture how that would be the case, cause summers there are murderously hot.

I wonder how such large buildings have such amazing AC, anyway? Most malls and big box stores have god tier AC.

SeaJ , in Trump to release taped interview with Tucker Carlson, skipping GOP debate

He’s having an interview with the guy who hates him ‘passionately?’

Narrrz , in Trump Voters Trust Ex-President More Than Their Family and Friends: Poll

I feel like we need some sort of legal protection for circumstances like this. no objective analysis of these people's behaviour would agree that they're acting rationally, and probably can't even be considered to be in their right minds. should we risk individuals so afflicted being able to determine the direction an entire country takes? do they pass out voting forms at mental institutions?

crdz ,

I feel like this could be a slippery slope for whoever is in charge and if not done right which is more than likely it’ll be like going back in time where anytime someone disagrees with something “you’re being hysterical” then you get institutionalized.

Narrrz ,

it certainly carries risks, but then, seemingly so does doing nothing to address it. I wonder how many people would still be alive if trump had never gotten a first term.

MrMusAddict ,

Disqualifying a candidate is the intended legal protection. Unfortunately, I’m not sure that will ever be used effectively if it’s not done to Trump.

Narrrz ,

that's not going to work for his supporters, though. they'll scream conspiracy and the next capital riot might not be such a joke.

MrMusAddict ,

Rioting will come and go. Assuming a disqualification is recognized by enough people, then the noise makers will go back into the woodwork for a time.

There’s a lot of misguided people out there who would vote for Trump if he was on a ballot but would not start a civil war if he was not.

I feel like it’s true to say that we are the closest we’ve been to a civil war since the last, but that doesn’t mean that the risk of civil war is high.

acetanilide ,

Actually, yes.

acetanilide ,

To your last question I mean

Narrrz ,

so if a country manages to reach a critical threshold of cultists, the government should just hand over the reins, despite the likelihood it will never again (or at least, for an extensive period) see a fair election?

acetanilide ,

You said mental illness, which is what I was referring to. Also, cultists are (generally, unless they're otherwise forbidden) allowed to vote as well (unfortunately).

ImplyingImplications ,

If Americans actually voted this wouldn’t be an issue. The problem is the only people who actually vote at every chance they get are these types.

Xaphanos ,

As I understood, that was one intent of the electoral college.

    I still wonder Jonestown was a hostage situation and the members of the cult were coerced at gunpoint to drink poison to avoid being tortured to death by the CIA.

    No, it was a cult.

    Ditto. If the source of your information is the sworn enemy of all competing cultures, you have no information

    UFO64 ,

    For anyone following along, this is 100% what propaganda tries to do. Tells you not to trust anyone but them, tells you everyone but them lies. This is classic state actor behavior.

    TrismegistusMx ,
    @TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world avatar

    I didn’t tell anybody to trust me. I’m telling you to question your own cult of authority. If you think the US is any different than any other cult, it’s because you’re brainwashed.

    A demonstrable lie. I don’t trust government actors.

    TrismegistusMx ,

    I reject your story. I don’t trust the government.

    TrismegistusMx ,
    @TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world avatar

    False dichotomy. My alternative version of events comes from lack of trust in the government’s narrative.

    UFO64 ,

    Yeah, sure dude. Then why do are you arguments ring of being a government actor?

    I don’t see any dichotomy here. You just work for the state.

    TrismegistusMx ,
    @TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world avatar

    Do you get a lot of input from your fellow citizens? Do they all pull from the same sources of information? Do they ever approach that information with a critical eye, or do they blindly defend what they think they know like you do?

    UFO64 ,

    They just don’t trust people like you. Simple as that.

    TrismegistusMx ,
    @TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world avatar

    They only know their fantasy of me and the fact that I question their perception of reality. Nothing more.

    lolcatnip ,

    I didn’t learn about Jonestown from the government. You’re staying to sound a bit like a cultist yourself.

    TrismegistusMx ,
    @TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world avatar

    Who did you learn about it from? Where did they get their information?

    webadict ,

    It was, in fact, a cult. The only people you could reasonably assume were “hostages” were the children that were forced to drink cyanide because they didn’t understand what was happening. You can hear them on the recording.

    There were people who left Jonestown that spoke about the practice sessions. Most people were not in any way forced to drink it because they were brainwashed.

    TrismegistusMx ,
    @TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world avatar

    You can actually hear a lot of people crying, not just the children. You’ve heard it was a cult, but all that information was filtered through the US government.

    webadict ,

    It’s really convenient that you can simply refuse any information as it being from the government with no proof because it allows you to never be wrong.
