    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aral_Sea

    Formerly the third-largest lake in the world with an area of 68,000 km2 (26,300 sq mi), the Aral Sea began shrinking in the 1960s after the rivers that fed it were diverted by Soviet irrigation projects. By 2007, it had declined to 10% of its original size

    former United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called the shrinking of the Aral Sea “one of the planet’s worst environmental disasters”.

    The Aral Sea region is heavily polluted, with consequent serious public health problems. UNESCO has added historical documents concerning the Aral Sea to its Memory of the World Register as a resource to study the environmental tragedy.


  • He’s too old. He should drop out. I’m hearing more and more people say that recently.

    Right now trump is almost 20 years older than Kamala Harris. We have never elected someone as old as trump to the office of the presidency. The man can’t drink a glass of water.

    Can he walk down a ramp unaided? Can he hear out of his right ear? Can we really entrust the government to someone that decrepit?


  • Yeah, it’s relatively easy to make good money in crypto if you understand investing. There are a lot of things that are illegal in regulated securities markets that are not yet illegal with crypto.

    I intentionally don’t invest in crypto, because it doesn’t produce anything. Any money you make is just taken from another investor, usually because they don’t know what they’re doing. When you invest in a company, you make products and sell them to customers. Something is created and rarely are people cheated.

    The people investing in crypto are intentionally cheating uninformed investors in a way that is not possible in regulated securities markets.


  • The use of “subhuman” in particular is fascist behaviour and I’d assume it is wreckers rather than longstanding members, it’s not language that socialists are fond of.

    That’s not true at all. Look at any post about landlords or Zelenskyy or “bourgeoisie”. Count the number of pictures or references to guillotines.

    I’ve already personally blocked the whole instance because it’s not worth arguing with people over and over.

    Edit: you can see from the comments below what I’m talking about. I don’t care who these people think “deserve” the label of “subhuman”. I don’t want to interact with people who talk like that or think like that. That’s why I block them all.

    I don’t know if defederation is the answer, but this instance is clearly a haven for these people. So I have already taken action.
