It’s wild how people (mostly the ADL and news outlets that want to pretend this is all normal and fine) just memory holed Elon posting “you have said the actual truth” in a reply to someone posting an antisemitic ramble about a Jewish conspiracy to import foreigners
(sarcastically) Like, wow, how could a man who endorses shit like this possibly do a Nazi salute, it seems so unlike him! 🙄
The really quick summary is that the mods of the 196 community on blahaj.zone wanted to move the community to lemmy.world, but did not announce it publicly to the users or seek their input, and so when the announcement came out, users of the instance felt blindsided by the announcement, and that lemmy.world was a fairly unpopular choice of instance. The resulting discussion from the thread largely did not dissuade skeptical users and contributed to the feelings that the mods were making a unilateral decision based on their desire and ignoring what the users of 196 wanted, and the decision to keep the original community on lemmy.blahaj.zone locked meant that users who did not want to post on lemmy.world were losing out their community.
This resulted in another 196 clone being created on blahaj, the original 196 becoming unlocked, and so now there are 3 196 communities. The newest one, !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone, has a particularly high posting rate right now, as users are attempting to assert that community’s support as opposed to the ones run by the mods of the original and the lemmy.world communities.
A move that has been months in the making but only now is getting announced? Has it been announced previously and I missed it or something? I get the motivation for the move, but this feels like the kind of decision that the users of the 196 should have gotten more of a chance to at least give feedback on what other instance 196 should be migrating to.
Not really, you would just need a community that’s focused on posting starter packs, and for people advertising Lemmy to others to direct people to that starter pack community when checking out Lemmy. There are things that could be developed to help make starter packs more useful, but it could start off as simply as just people making posts with lists of communities that people interested in crocheting or whatever should go check out.
Counterpoint: vegans that are bad or lazy cooks deserve to have a former omnivore partner that becomes vegan for them so they not only convert another person, but get better meals as a bonus reward.
This happened with me and my wife. I was the omnivore that loves cooking, became vegan because my wife was and I was serious about being with her long term and figured adopting her diet would make sense, then slowly realized it was just morally the correct position. Now she gets to enjoy having a wife that fills her freezer with homemade vegan pierogi 😇
This still feels like it’s not answering the fundamental question for any blockchain project: why is this a blockchain instead of just a database with well configured permissions, and why are the advantages of the blockchain relevant to the problem it’s trying to solve? Traditional databases can be configured to be append only, accept new data from users without needing a central authority to approve each new user, be queried by any random person, etc far more efficiently than a blockchain could and without requiring every solar panel owner to download multiple terabytes of historical transaction data just to run their panel.
As for the coins, they don’t really add democratic control over a system so much as they empower whoever is best able to maximize coin generation. In a democratic system, 100 small solar panel owners would have more of a say in the governance of solar panels than 1 really wealthy South African billionaire, because they would represent more votes than the billionaire. In the coin economy, if the billionaire has at least twice as many solar panels as the rest of the small owners put together, the billionaire would have sole control over the governance of solar panels because they would be generating twice as many coins.
I admit I’m skeptic to see anything blockchain or coin related, but I’ve yet to see a problem that either technology are solving for other than “I want to be able to do financial transactions over the internet without using a bank or bank-like institution” and “I want an extremely volatile asset to speculate on”
Did people still like Dawkins before this? I’m not an atheist or super interested in his particular field of biology, but every time I heard him get mentioned after his initial New Atheism stuff it was him being islamophobic/racist against Arabs, Iraq war apologia, being an apologist for sexual harassment, etc. He seemed pretty bad for a while.
Does anyone know of any futanari games where the LGBT agenda is forced down my throat? Asking for myself
This is entirely why I’ve become dependent on flushable wipes. Any combination of wet and dry toilet paper still takes forever to wipe properly and leaves my ass feeling sore whereas wipes always just takes one or two to completely get the job done. Idk if I have a sensitive ass or just missed the lesson on how to wipe right, but it feels like flushable wipes are the only thing that works for me 🤷♀️
Thankfully, that’s not actually how criminal justice works in the US, and it would be really fucked up if it was illegal to say that a defendant is innocent of the charges.
A reminder that your original post was that you thought it was necessary to remove posts saying Luigi is innocent in order to follow the law. It’s a good thing that’s not actually true, because it would be incredibly dystopian if it was illegal to even say you think that a defendant is innocent.
I understand the post but the linked explanation makes 0 sense. What does that post have to do with this one?
Thank God, now I might actually be able to enjoy a Borderlands game.
The overall article is fine, but I really don’t agree with its understanding of binary as an identity unto itself, and the article assumes too much that the way nonbinary people relate to being nonbinary is perfectly mirrored in how binary people understand binary identity. Binary isn’t an identity I’ve ever seen anyone identify as as an actual identity, it’s just the state of not needing more than one word to explain your gender identity. And especially for gay binary people, people of the other binary gender don’t really have anything to do with their identity or experience of gender, romance, sexuality, etc any more or less than nonbinary swarm gender people do.
You’re unlikely to get fired during this consolidation. Firing is only done for cause, for either behavioral, performance, or legal problems. In many companies, you’d also be first put into a Performance Improvement Plan, where the problems that might lead to you being fired are formally raised to you and you’re given the conditions you need to meet to not be fired.
What you’re likely facing is a layoff, where a company terminates your job because your role is no longer needed. This is important, because in a layoff, you get severance pay, unemployment insurance, and potentially other benefits, while being fired may impact your ability to get these benefits.
Generally, it’s better to not quit if you don’t have to. If you stay and you get fired/laid off, you lose income you were about to lose anyway. If you quit but could have stayed and kept your role, you lose income you didn’t have to lose.
He wouldn’t even need to do that. He could literally just make a third account (assuming his daughter is blocking the one where Elon pretends to be an actual child) and see all the posts he wants. This is truly Elon solving a problem only Elon has, by nuking a feature tons of folks use.
I downvoted because of the snark in first paragraph.
Right, which is why I explained that the comment that they were replying to was a joke about the absolute losses
For most antisemites, Jewish people who consider themselves white are doing so as a ploy to infiltrate and undermine white society.
Antisemitic conspiracy thinking is based on the idea that Jewish people are all deep down engaged in some sort of conspiracy to benefit Jews over non-jews, and so you can disregard actual Jewish people’s thoughts and understandings of their situation as a smokescreen for their conspiracy. Antisemitic conspiracy thinking is at its heart, conspiratorial thinking, and can reinterpret almost anything into further proof of the conspiracy, even someone acting in a way that totally goes against how the conspiracy theory says they should be acting.
