Honestly Putin / Russia is going to be victorious. The only way to prevent that is direct Western intervention and that shouldn’t happen as it would escalate.

Better to lose a country to Russia than the world for everyone.

Tiene un número incorrecto cabrón.

Honestly a lot of it right now is the American election cycle, coupled with external cultural manipulation by bad actors abroad influencing social media, and making LGBT issues an affront to traditional cultural values ( like Russian networks framing Russia as a bastion of traditional social familial roles ). A lot of the culture war is amplifying existing tension on LGBT and ‘woke’ and turning it up to 11.

It’s because people don’t understand that Lemmy.World specifically serves as a Reddit replacement, but other communities don’t serve this purpose.

It demonstrates the misunderstanding that Lemmy.World is Lemmy.

I had the same opinion. It’s absolutely moderation that reduces the amount of acceptable opinion and behavior. I can’t even have good faith discussions on controversial topics on multiple platforms because I am vaguely aware of what is considered the ‘right’ opinion.

A truly liberal mindset and healthy community would allow controversial opinions, but classic liberalism is demonized now in favor of absolutist values for conduct and morality.

So here’s what happens. When a person says a controversial thing and they’re banned, silenced, or shadow banned it reduces the amount of incidence for the offending opinion in that community, people who see the ban with the same opinion that want to participate in the community are left with choosing silence ( giving the impression that opinion was not common ) or additionally defending the person actioned against, which then also risks their removal from that community.

It’s really that simple. Moderation in my opinion should only go after the real problematic illegal stuff, but we shouldn’t be moderating out the actual good faith opinions that people have.

Serious answer: it’s a Magic the Gathering card that has recently hit meme status, but I don’t know why.

Brilliant comment, I’m dead serious.

Uhm, how is this fundamentally different from a crystal radio? I’ve built this exact concept from a science kit, and this is a concept that’s been proven for decades.

Honestly you should post this to my Lemmy server.

They can fly? I know they have wings, but I’ve never seen one fly, I assumed they were evolutionarily vestigial.

NAFO?

It’s because it is the result of the action, like a drawing. We just don’t say a built, or a drawn. I’m not sure why we used the gerand in English, but we do.

Sanctioning a legal body because they call you out is crazy, trying to put pressure and sieze their assets is insane. US is the villains.

That’s the only realistic outcome of this whole thing, eventually that territory will either be all of Ukraine, or the strategically important parts.

I usually find that ballpoint pens work poorly if paper has gotten wet, if it dries though you’ll probably be able to keep writing in it, best to throw it out though tbf

You can poke a tiny hole into a piece of paper for the same effect

How to junction magic

Obviously Ukraine is going to lose. I’ve called this since the beginning, and trust me, I’m not prescient.

I’m honestly, honestly convinced that the villification of centrism and liberalism on both leftist and right political ideology is designed to increase disagreement and prevent compromise on political issues, likely for people to focus on race or politics over class issues, or to prevent good faith discussion of issues to prevent social progress.

I know, without a doubt this will be voted down, but I’m actually asking you to think about this critically before both political extremes go down the authoritarian route and it becomes too late to actually unify people to rationale and true dialectics.
