What would it be deployed as a standard if it had such a glaring issue? Surely there’s a better explanation.

I don’t live in that country, but while I like Lemmy, no, I don’t have hope any more. I’ve not had that for a long time now.

It’s interesting though, to see the US slowly turn into our enemy, and to consider that Germany will be one of our strongest democratic, antifascist allies against the new axis of evil when the time comes.

Thankfully I’m too old to be forced to fight in the next war against fascism, but I suppose poverty and climate change might kill me before then anyway. There truly is no hope left for me.

You don’t live in a very dangerous area, then.

I keep an eye on everyone, even a woman with a kid in a pram (assuming the pram isn’t just an empty decoy) could try to mug you, people get desperate and chavs get violent. Always keep your head on a swivel, don’t trust anyone at face value just because of their gender or what they look like.

or have they

Peertube, a voyeurism site for vids of people peering in through window curtains? :P

I think when you’re on a ship being sailed suicidally into a storm, arguing they some passengers shouldn’t jump into life boats to escape just because it will only leave the crazy people onboard and “we’re in this together” isn’t particularly compelling.

Like, surely that’s the point? That state finds it’s people, their way of life and values to have diverged so far from the government and overall culture of the nation they’re currently teamed up with, so they choose to end their union and become a free nation state again, as is their right.

The alternative to this peaceful split into two countries that can now run themselves the way they want to, would be one side attempting to impose their way of life on the other, to the point of massive crushing oppression or eventual civil war to see which side will dominate and force the other to convert to their ways.

Surely when we consider the options, peacefully going their separate ways when they’re no longer compatible with each other’s societies and values seems the best result, no?

At this point if you’re still working there knowingly building a powerful fascist gathering platform after so much time available to leave, taking dirty Nazi money as payment for your services…

I dunno man… should I feel bad for the staff, or are the remaining staff complicit enough at this point?

We must strengthen NATO’s defences against the aggressive USA and significantly improve border defences, lest they catch us with our pants down when the time comes.

Given that he was the one that called for it to be banned extremely vocally, and he’s not been able to keep it banned for more than a few hours even as the now leader of that country, seemingly caving under pressure to flip his stance on the matter (showing off the bat that he’s very politically weak)…

I don’t see how this makes him look anything but weak, or inept.

Ah, an American 2028 general strike.

That’ll be why I’ve not heard about it. I wish them the best of luck, their country faces many issues that a general strike could begin to fix, here’s hoping.

Won’t they still have their fascist, self proclaimed dictator in power in 2028? He’ll send his jackboots out to crush any such attempts at organising against his precious oligarchy.

Hopefully those participating are ready for a bloody struggle for their rights.

I’ve never even looked at it. Vine was pretty cool but then it died, Periscope was neat, but I dunno, something about Tiktok feels predatory, how addictive it is (from what I’ve seen of others using it).

Plus while they’re all as bad as each other, I still trust China less than Microsoft with my stuff, so yeah. I’m just not interested in it and don’t really see the appeal for myself. But I see why it’s popular and it’s not like, terrible, as a concept.

Yes, it’s called a tram. It’s how I get to the shops, city centre, etc.

They left retroreflective mirrors there when they visited, you shine a light at them and it bounces right back at you, and that’s what we do with a laser at an Observatory, it’s pretty cool! :-D

I consider that another piece of evidence, in a big pile of evidence, but I suppose crazy people can say we sent the mirrors up with a rocket on their own or whatever idk. Crazy people gonna crazy.

You know what’s really crazy? Some people think the USA is real and not just a TV show and 300 million AI bots. Had anyone ever actually been there? No, of course not, it’s all Hollywood movie magic! (Hollywood’s a secret propaganda studio based out of Cuba, which is real obviously because we get rum from there)

“The fediverse is for everyone”

Everyone? Are you sure? I can think of a lot of truly, deeply evil people we wouldn’t want anywhere near anything we’re involved in.

There’s inclusivity and freedom of expression, and then there’s groups of people that do things that are so evil and illegal and so on that I might get told off just for mentioning what those things are by name, so I won’t.

But yeah, in principle I completely agree with you of course, that there shouldn’t be barriers and limitations to who can interact with who and such, but in practical application we have to realise there are groups that absolutely should be ostracised for our own safety and to limit their growth and power over our society, sadly :-(

I don’t know what feudposting is though, but I can take a guess. I’ve never taken part in any sort of beef between instances, I don’t really notice what instance stuff comes from much at all, I just join communities that I think look cool and trust the mods and admins to handle what’s appropriate and what’s not. It’s worked very well so far, touch wood! :-)

Is this the terrible facebook memes community now?

We don’t suffer fascists easily here.

Who do you think you are kidding Mister Muskler?

You call that a smash? Stop sensationalising, come now.

A car gently tapped a thing during a turn and came to a stop.

Religious hospitals? What will they think of next!

At least in countries that charge patients money for their healthcare, these religious hospitals are free, right? Given how much money Christianity makes in donations, and given that their whole religion is all about helping others for nothing in return and without judgement, it would make sense they’d run free hospitals providing healthcare for all, no matter their situation ♥️

Ok but then how do u explain the billions that died from the china virus vaxx jab huh huh huh

Aaahhhh go on
