Yeah, same old. The religion of peace(that worships a warlord)(that still hasn’t had a reformation)(that is responsible for Al Qaeda, Taliban, and ISIS) is just being peaceful again.
Well that was good for propoganda purposes. Gives them an excuse to get more intrusive.
Youll notice that on Jan 6, none of the people in the Capitol Building had guns, and also note the video of them being waved in, and also note that they weren’t immediately forced out.
Hey everyone! I just had something rather weird and concerning happen. While browsing Lemmy through the default web interface, I clicked on a post link and got the usual server error.

Kinda? I was a lot younger then, and this feels way more left wing politically now. Maybe I just got more conservative as I aged, or the internet got more left wing. Or maybe a little of both.
I was trying to figure out how many generations could theoretically exist at the same time, so I decided to first check Guinness. Hopefully I did all the math correctly.
I’m considering writing the merfolk in my story as a sort of metaphor for indigenous peoples, as well as other sea-dwelling or otherwise aquatic humans. Is this inherently problematic in and of itself, or is there a way to write this that works and is respectful to actual indigenous folks? If it’s inherently disrespectful, I...
If you’re having to ask, it might be a little much. You need confidence, and the realization you are not going to get it perfect. No one ever gets those kinds of things perfect.
The 3 that come to mind for me are Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The Princess Bride. All three are poking fun at their respective genres but also are great examples of the genre. I’m curious if Lemmy has other such examples.

The more charitible solution is they only test it on bing. Certain organizations will save test costs by only testing one browser, and forcing everyone to use that browser.
President Joe Biden on Friday ordered a historic change to the Uniform Code of Military Justice by transferring key decision-making authorities outside the military chain of command in cases of sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse, murder and other serious crimes.
Yeah. Basicly anything with a lower contrast, with shadows and backgrounds. And because shadows are dark, they have a lower contrast with other dark things.
