There shouldn’t be a loaded gun anywhere near a film set. That’s the problem, not him practicing his scene between camera rolls

How about don’t fuck with authorities when you’re in a war zone. Probably a good rule to live by to avoid getting rocked in the face, or worse.

Your first comment makes it seem like you’re putting blame on Ukraine, even though your other comments clarify you’re not in support of Russia. At least that’s how it read to me.

The article touches briefly on it, essentially even though a minority wants these terrible policies, that minority are the GOP base and are generally single issue voters and religious. That minority has an outsized say due to gerrymandering. And there is also a feedback loop in this country where the GOP gerrymanders, they cut education and other social services, blame the “enemy” for the downturn in QOL for their constituents, and repeat. It solidifies the us vs them mentality that has these people voting against their own interests.

Obviously super simplified outlook on it since it is a very complex issue. Other people in the thread have explained better.

The reason they are able to do this comes down to gerrymandering.

Very good article. And very powerful statements from the colonel. I hope that our governments can get them the weapons they need which are wasting away in storage.

Apparently, you have to live it

No truer words.

This is pessimistic but it seems to me that Florida is absolutely and incredibly fucked. It’s not even an uphill battle to protect the keys and Everglades, it seems unwinnable without absolutely massive and rapid global shifts, or am I just a doomer?

A lot of that is customizable in the settings

Prigohzin is such a slimy fuck. The deliberate irony of his statements would be laughable if he wasn’t so disgusting

Of course it is really terrible that people needed to flee home because of this senseless war. But it is good to see that at the very least they have somewhere to go to be safe for the time being, a refugee crisis it’s never ideal or easy to deal with for anyone involved but these people seem like they’re happy enough all things considered.

I’m curious what the German government has to say about this though. I wonder why they refused to respond to the author of the article

I’m not following super closely at the moment, but it seems like they’re making bigger moves in Crimea than in the past with the bridge and other Russian resources they’ve been hitting lately.

Good fucking luck with that

You’re not necessarily wrong, but the people who create the content I enjoy are on Twitch, so to me it is worth it. Everybody values things differently

I’m still grandfathered in at $8 for a few more months, at which point I will re-evaluate

It is not as simple as install uBlock Origin. I have uBlock, it is very easy to install a plugin.

However, every other day the current ad block solution stops working for twitch and you need to install multiple plugins (uBlock, TTV LOL), modify your ublock, or use alternate twitch UI which has no features, and since it changes so frequently I need to manually keep up to date with the changes on github for multiple plugins and scripts. Not to mention none of that works on mobile when you’re away from home, I use Pi Hole and it doesn’t block twitch ads. The ad block doesn’t work on chromecast or other devices.

Their ads are super aggressive, it is literally impossible to surf the website with ads. Every time you switch streams you’re served an ad which makes it very difficult to find people to watch or to follow multiple perspectives (I mainly watch RP).

For a few bucks a month I don’t have to deal with it and I watch Twitch more than any other streaming platform or social media, so to me it is worth the ease and consistency of use by just having turbo. The only two subscriptions I have are YouTube Premium and Twitch Turbo because I don’t get ads and I don’t have to deal with blocking them.

I pay for twitch turbo because I watch twitch for hours upon hours and keeping up with the latest ad block for twitch is more effort than it’s worth to me. Especially when on devices where ad block is more challenging.

There is one app I know of that is for generic ActivityPub activity, https://docs.microblog.pub/

But as you said, in the more complex UIs like Lemmy, Mastodon, PeerTube, it would be a challenge to make the different forms of content fit the same structures. Micropub isn’t exactly nice to look at, but it is basic enough to be able to serve the different types of content… kinda

Full disclosure I can be completely wrong, but this is my understanding.

I don’t believe it is possible today to connect your Lemmy to Misskey. I may be wrong, but Lemmy at the moment supports kbin and lemmy. For example, Mastodon can read Lemmy, but Lemmy cannot read Mastodon. This is just a limitation of the way the app is programmed, even though the ActivityPub backend can communicate.

althub.co.za has been a decent indexer for ebooks for me. But ebooks are just not as readily available on usenets. And new books are rarely available upon release. I’ll manually download from libgen and import to readarr in those cases.
