“Redditors of Reddit, how do you sexily sex the sex out of sexy sex???”
Serious response: you can’t really make a very general rule. There are a lot of people who write quite maturely since their teens, and a lot of people who are morons since their teens and have endless dedication and determination to remain in that state for as long as they breathe.
Hey! I will not tolerate this kind of racism against influencers! /s
Canary Islands. Great place, but the mass tourism is actually killing them, provoking skyrocketing rent and shortages of power and water.
Is this bill going to be voted by the previous representatives or by the ones we just voted? Because that page shows the ones who are leaving.

Thích Quảng Đức was a Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhist monk who died by self-immolation (…) protesting against the persecution of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese government of Ngô Đình Diệm, a staunch Roman Catholic. Photographs of his self-immolation circulated around the world, drawing attention to the policies of the Diệm government. John F. Kennedy said of one photograph, "No news picture in history has generated so much emotion around the world as that one.
Calling them brainwashed is disrespectul and ignorant of similar acts that, while they haven’t been enough to change policy, have invigorated social movements that sometimes resulted in the goals they were aiming for. The fact that you use “brainwashed” specifically almost makes me think that you can’t even understand how people could see the murders of tens of thousands of children as something worth taking radical action for.
I’m not the person you were replying to, either.
The purpose of the comment is clearly: “Cloudfare didn’t kick out the casinos because of a compromise with good ethics, but because it was making them lose money”. Please read it again.
Literally got posted as I was complaining. Neat.
No one said Disco Elysium so far? What’s wrong with you, Lemmy?
I’m sure all this nonsense waste of energy is exactly what we needed just to stop climate change.
By “high school math competitions” I mean provincial or regional competitions where different schools send their best students. The average Spaniard has as much trouble in math as people from all other places, and high school math is very much the same.
I don’t know how it is in other countries, but Spanish high school math competitions are designed to test both logic and creativity. They’ll require you to use the material from your current year, but the way in which you have to apply that math isn’t obvious if your only competency in math is specifically passing high school tests. You don’t get a good score by being a proficient human calculator, but by applying good abstract analysis, which you should be able to apply in other areas of your life.
Yes, Ukraine had a dangerous drift towards exclutionary Ukrainian nationalism for many years, which Russia promoted by igniting the conflict through their use of paramilitary forces in Donetsk and Lugansk, which made it great for Ukrainian supremacists and Russian supremacists to fester in both sides.
Despite that, Ukraine elected Zelensky, a Russian speaking president who spoke both Ukrainian and Russian during his inaugural speech as symbolism that it was time for their country to reconcile itself with its minorities.
But this fact is usually omitted in Russian propaganda, since it’s so devastating to their narrative.
It cannot be declared an act of war if the target country isn’t willing to bring consequences on the aggressor.
That has a considerable risk of backfiring. If Putin dies, the people right next in line to take the helm are the ultra-nationalist fash in charge of the Russian State. If one of those suddenly takes control of Russia, and realizes that they’re fighting an unpopular war without having the backing of actually being Putin, it becomes far more likely that they do something extremely stupid such as launching nuclear weapons, which would be terrible for everyone.
Really, all the drama surrounding instances federating/defederating is obnoxious as an end user.
On the other hand, subreddit dramas where a good portion of the userbase got alienated usually ended up with the users getting beaten into submission, and either shutting up or getting banned. It’s a bit annoying, but it’s still better than the other alternative we know.
Honestly this whole drama is so immature.
“What Israel is doing is terrible, on top of their mistreatment of the Palestinian people for decades they’ve now crossed a line and seem to be willing to remove them all from existence. This is a genocide, and we should enforce a cease fire and an embargo.”
“What Israel is doing is terrible, on top of their mistreatment of the Palestinian people for decades they’ve now crossed a line and are killing people indiscriminately. The fact that some people are calling it a genocide is telling of the immense gravity of the situation, and we should enforce a cease fire and an embargo.”
“How could you NOT call it a genocide??!?!?”
Both statements are virtually the same thing, have the same worries and are calling for the same solutions, yet the later get shat on because it doesn’t virtue signal. There are lots of seemingly dumb reasons why politicians and PR departments may choose to use some terms and avoid others, and some of those decisions are mere pragmatism that doesn’t change in essence their goal or effect. I think AOC has flaws, just like almost any politician, but making a gigantic deal out of this smells like it’s been promoted by grifters looking to start drama.
Literally Plato’s Cave.
Fixed, good catch
Absolutely based, all the rest of us plebs just need to learn about the depth and power of their kinkiness. Cheers to their banquet.
