“Such a fool! He should obviously let the treacherous gas bag fleece him blind while he silently smiles and nods obsequiously. Now he’s ruined his chances!”

I don’t know much about the man other than bits and pieces of how he’s handled this horrific invasion, but from what I’ve seen, he has continually shown more honor and backbone than most other politicians I’m familiar with. I don’t expect things will end well for their country at this point, but I think he is a credit to himself and his people.

How do you heat up coffee?

Then they’re doing sarcasm wrong.

“Blistering” suggests it had merit.

but you could also just forget all about it and your life will be the same.

Some big “Thanks I’m cured” energy here. If they truly are germophobic, then just saying “get over it” isn’t gonna do jack shit as advice.

The topic is about helping Ukraine, not the US. Why in the world would you assume they were suggesting the latter?

I just see pizza. Yum.

NASA: “Hold my beaker.”

I swear I’ve seen a video of someone timing the speed of pushing a very long pole to prove this very thing. If I can find it I’ll post it here.

*Found it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqhXsEgLMJ0 I can’t speak to the rigorousness of the experiment, but I remember finding it enlightening.

Or they know that force-feeding themselves needless media that will just make them miserable is not worth it. People that don’t do things they won’t like aren’t “boycotting”. They’re just not doing it.

Fuck “extremely inflammatory”. We shouldn’t tip-toe around calling out sexual violence. Does the woman want to have sex? No. Is it demanded/coerced of her anyway? Yes. That’s rape, bro.

And now the story’s about his funny it is instead of how harmful it is. Again.

“Authoritarian countries don’t seem to mind Trump’s impending presidency. Why is Europe overreacting?” Fuck off, Guardian.

besides they’re all internal lithium now anyway…

So…you’re pissed about screws that don’t exist?

Also, survival bias doesn’t mean something isn’t a hazard.

And dwarves. Hmmm…

Yeah. Lemmy’s biggest strength (decentralization) has also shown to be one of it’s biggest flaws when micro-managing admins/mods turn their instance into their own personal fiefdom, inflicting their “justice” broadly and without discernment. I’ve been banned more here in under 2 years than on reddit for over 13, almost exclusively for voting “wrong” according to what feedback I can find, which is a a seriously treacherous practice in communities like these. I have no real sense of loss over it, but I do worry the Lemmy-verse will end up with tons of siloed off instances instead of an interconnected community if it goes on unadressed.

Fancy words for “there’s something and there’s nothing”. So, yes.

“Sex isn’t a bad word”

Insults woman for having too much sex

Make up your mind. Or is sex only OK when men do it?

That’s great. I’m glad to hear it is having at least some positive impact despite my reservations.

SED also uses the clickbait tactics, so I wouldn’t exactly consider them an ubiased source. They’re also all profiting from these tactics. Let’s not pretend it’s just some virtuous sacrifice to “teach the kids”.
