the rope should probably be measurably larger than a long ass if it’s going to be safe for use.

Nah, neither one of them have anything on Thailand cooking

Hiroshima reference?

care to name the weapon system and it’s actual cost for munitions and rearmament? Or is this a “trust me bro” moment?

Oh shit that edit is hilarious and you don’t even see the irony in it.

The Invention of “Jaywalking”

This is the story of how, in the 1920s, the auto industry chased people off the streets of America — by waging a brilliant psychological campaign. So the death toll was astounding. In cities of more than 25,000 people, cars were a leading cause of death by 1925. In the 1920s alone, car drivers killed over 200,000 Americans.

over 100 years later and some communities are still fighting for policies that allow an environment that fosters connection and value of life over powerful industry lobbyists trying to take over with their products (sound familiar?). But for sure, it will just fix itself if we just give it a little more time 😘

for those who don’t want to visit reddit, archive.org, or imgur (and for posterity sake)

All the psychotic evangelical inspired bible thumpers believing Iran is controlled by Satan when it’s the U.S. and Israel bringing depictions of hell to the region.

awesome link! going through to hopefully find what I need, probably going to pick up a few extra ones I see lol

It’s less of trying to do “days” and more just a 24 hour period of any given day. Syncing isn’t necessary as we can all just sit down for a few minutes on a singular device to get a gist of our needs and what our day is like. The calendars I’m used to usually are great for different events for different days but this is just more of a sleep, work, chores, etc in a day and what times they’re available. I’ll edit in some images in the upload to explain more what I’m looking for.

Imagine local libraries and post offices pushing this technology to get around ISP’s grips on local infrastructure. Helps during emergency events, local organization, and could even put e-books available from the library. Post office’s make sense because of their rural locations extending the nodes and brings them into the 21st century delivering physical and digital mail.

edit: would also love to get notifications from local government this way instead of having to check facebook or whatever mainstream site that I need to register with just to view.

As someone who doesn’t enjoy megathreads, is it just because people don’t want to see multiple articles in their feed? I’ve seen megathreads

• get abused by mods (mass deletion of anything even loosely related),
• user engagement is buried (100 comments in 10 different articles is better than just 500 comments in a megathread to me),
• and it’s harder to see updates/new happenings without constantly checking back in for edits.

Mod megathread’s also seems like an overreach of moderator’s role. They are now in the driver seat of a pinned, mega popular post and it goes to their head (I’ve been in communities before where they just start blanketing megathreads for anything that’s gaining traction and squash even legitimate posts). They now also have added workload onto themselves by having to curate even further what gets posted at their discretion (and competing with their own post).

For those out of the loop with Bluey, it’s a fucking amazing kids show. I really can’t compare it to anything that came before, the style, the music, topics that they cover (and even how they approach things). It’s truly a once in a lifetime show kinda like the original LOTR trilogy. Lola Sebastian just recently did a video touching on it and comparing it to the MAGA copycat, “The Mundane Misery of MAGA’s Bluey Copycat”. A good 2 hour video to put on for entertainment and get the gist of the show.

it’s quite crazy the contrast between .world, .ml, and .today. I kinda like it because if the lemmyverse does grow it means I can still keep to smaller instances and not feel overwhelmed like with Reddit. The only thing I don’t enjoy is not knowing if people can see my replies or comments since there was no point in wasting my time posting if it’s blocked for some strange reason.

I took the 2nd paragraph meaning as protecting infrastructure/public works like power, water, hospitals, etc. A call out for those worried that went through 9/11 kinda thing. I’ve lived in an area where those have been attacked and the disruption of one incident can lasts weeks from a single bullet. Emergency management officials and commissioner are the two key points and this is a city mayor, not state senator or federal leanings.

edit to add: also meant to include religious and anything that might be loosely related to Iran or culture from the area (bigots don’t tend to scrutinize connections), leaving it as “sensitive locations” is better than specifically spelling out where extra protection is being laid out to any bad actors wanting to instigate.

@tmyakal@infosec.pub made me realize I take solace in the fact I’ll never feel like we’ve won or are satisfied with the state of governments. Yes, plenty of countries have great safety nets and protection for their civilians, but it’s still nothing compared to my dream of an idealized world. That long list of desires for a peaceful existence will just never get filled, but I continue aiming for it regardless with whatever time I have here.

I don’t agree. Just getting him gone will not stop the next Bush-lite from entering the arena and manufacturing full consent to go kill millions more in foreign countries. The individuals that need motivated and educated are the Nimby’s (Not-in-my-back-yard, as in, “I don’t care what you do but just don’t do it near me”), this doesn’t happen till shit is shoved into their faces and they’re forced to deal with it.

The average citizen is now feeling the economic hardships and the authoritarian boot of what the united states is. This is a festering wound almost a century old that keeps getting worse, it’s now showing on our face so it’s harder to dismiss. Anything being done to our populace or yours has been done 100x more extreme in the name of USA. For every Renee Good, there are millions who were murdered in the same way in their own country by a foreign presence.

The civil rights movement in the states didn’t concentrate on one elected official, it also didn’t ask for an opposition party to come and save them if they could just “vote blue no matter who”. If the Dem’s actually pushed for repercussions and legal action I would feel differently, but they decided to do nothing and hand waved excuses of why they couldn’t be bothered. I’ve given my vote to them my whole life, I’m feeling the tug of time and I don’t want to spend the rest of it just hoping they decide to do differently one day (which they aren’t even saying they will either).

I don’t get people sometimes. Here’s a hollywood elite who thinks they have the ability to physically assault another person (and so fucking brazenly in front of the whole world) and never be held responsible. Fuck Will Smith and anything he profits from including recognition of past performances. Comments in here are acting like a bunch of wannabe-nostalgia-cucks who don’t care as long as the individual did a silly little dance and entertained them some. Dude needs serious rehabilitation and a reality check which will never come to him because people would rather talk about his performances instead of the actual person.

uh what? I think the “rethink” might’ve been more of a “rephrase the question” statement. Voting for congress members is state based… which is an identifier and anonymity is the whole fucking point to platforms like this. “The majority of the U.S supports right wing beliefs.”, citation needed because that’s a very broad decree you’re standing by. I’m not sure what the rest of your tangent is about but if you’re trying to get a valid point across, it got lost in your tirade.

I’ve been through both experiences with medicaid for one birth and insurance for another which needed NICU support (fucking huge shout-out to the awesome hospital staff that was supportive through it all). The vast differences of the experience is just mind numbing and the stress is through the roof trying to get around all the billing and headaches. I’ve thought of doing a write-up to share the experience but it’s just so much I feel like it would be a whole side project trying to document the whole ordeal over months of anguish.

Subscribed! It’s funny because I’ve seen the startrek videos recommended to me but never looked into the channel before lol.
