Governments will change, people on the top might change. The question is whether they will face any consequences for their actions. Will the US as a whole face any consequence of its actions. Like the consequences other countries face when they do the stuff America is doing right now.

Or will it be back to normal as soon as the regime changes.

Will there be any lasting effects in how the world deals with US?

Haiii, I am thinking about aquiring a domain Name. What's the best privacy Friendly Registry, with fairly cheap pricing. Thx :3

I'm getting back into MtG - Really I never left, but all my friends who played have moved + I lost all my good decks in a move myself. Now some of my other friends have started playing, and though I hate universes beyond, I enjoy the game.

I don't want to spend a bajillion on cards however, but I also don't want to play with paper cutouts or proxies. It's silly, but I like the cardboard for some reason. And I'd really like to regain some of my old decks, which were from Return to Ravnica/Original Innistraad era.

So I'm looking for a good printshop that prints good-looking Magic cards. I hear some shops in China have gotten better than WOTC at printing.
I'm in the EU.

Anyway, I'd love to get some recommendations. Please help me out.

I mean in the sense that it was written for entertainment

-Hi, I've been looking for help with my mod for a long time. I've searched in Facebook groups, Discord, and Twitter, but no one has helped me. I'm not offering money; the only thing I can offer is commissioned artwork in exchange. I never wanted to ask here, but I don't know where else to look, and I really want to finish this personal project that's been stuck in limbo for over a year. If you're interested, it's about the game Onmyoji adapted to FnF.

I've noticed a pattern where once a subreddit or Lemmy community reaches a certain size, the front page becomes mostly memes, recycled jokes, and lowest common denominator content. Genuine discussion gets pushed out unless the community is extremely strictly moderated for it.

What do you think causes this shift? Is it inevitable with the upvote/downvote system rewarding quick, agreeable content over nuanced takes? Or are there platforms or moderation approaches that successfully scale discussion without turning into an echo chamber?

I take a 2 hour commute to school every day. My Stanley thermos, which was gifted to me by my very consumerist aunt, doesn't keep my moka pot coffee hot for 2 hours.

Although it is a pretty good thermos it seems to be leaking a lot of heat from the metal section near the cap.

Is there any thermos that has every section of it isolated? Like, I shouldn't even be able to tell if there is a hot liquid inside

i think it is in black and white and 2 female singers as rivals something like "Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)". I think i saw it on youtube

Not for watching, for posting content (so Nebula is out with their super secret handshake entry standard).

I don’t want to play to a bullshit Algorithm or make horrible thumbnails.

The used market is more interesting so I haunt estate auctions. I would like to make a paper holder for a specific space so I’m casually looking for a handful of marbles to sandwich between some pieces of hardwood to make it so.

Wow. An item I would expect to bid out at $2.50 or $5 goes past $50. Why? They’re just marbles. I’m old. I had a collection as a kid, but I’m not feeling any nostalgia for little glass balls.

Collecting things, knick-knacks and such, are down in price all around. People don’t have space, disposable income, or time for the Boomer hoarding nonsense, they just want the houses the stuff was stored in. And yet. Marbles are somehow an acceptable hoard and take up space item now. In fact, there seems to be a moral imperative to make it so. Why?

In my head they are very normalburger if that makes sense. They think Trump can stop the war enough to affect the market, right?

Toki pona. End of discussion.

Well, maybe, but i've been thinking about turning tokens into words and all that fun stuff (disclaimer, i am against any kind of llm and the similar misuses of that technology) and most importantly, about how directions in this high dimensional space seem to encode true semantical dimensions.

Like how king + woman - man = king + "vector direction associated with feminity = queen (higly simplified)

This brought me to the realization that all languages have a measurable (maybe not exact but at least rough estimate) number of semantic dimensions they have (usually way lower than the number of words in said language).

Which then made me wonder :

-> How few semantic dimensions do you need for a functionnal conlang ? (i imagine it would be two (binary) but i would be happy to hear your counterpoints)

-> how many words per semantic dimensions do you need to get by and is there a reason why human language have so much "redundancy" (why not have "word for magnitude + word for semantic direction" ad nauseam ?)

And last but not least, can you make a language with 3 dimensions and speak in rgb colours ?

TlDR : how many semantic direction do you needto make a language ?

I had to update my address on my driver's license and they needed a couple pieces of mail with my new address and name on it to verify but I hadn't gotten any mail at the new place yet.

Then I started thinking about it more and realized I haven't actually received a letter addressed specifically to me in over a year, possibly in over 3 years. I have everything set to send by email because it isn't 1950 anymore. Am I just a loser with no corporate pen pals or is physical mail an antiquated form of address verification now?

I'm Ghoulia (obviously; sensitive nerds who understand the importance of a good head, in more ways than one). But do feel like I have a Cleo rising cuz I am a bit of a demon twink (I'm working on it, and by that I mean that I'm trying to become a twunk so that I can be worse). What about you guys?

Nobody will know if you stole your take either, let alone care. Even if you give people backlinks, nobody clicks them. Cats and dogs are living together.

Recently we've learned that the F35 is a 1T Dollar mess with no radar, and that the capabilities of anti ballistic systems were grossly overstated so it's worth asking if there's as much of a moral quandary with working in american defense given that most of the big name equipment does nothing.

Admittedly somewhat of a joke post but in my industry, there are some heavy incentives to work for a "defense" contractor only ignored by those with a moral compass.

I'm half considering setting up a "defense company" that does absolutely nothing, maybe we can sell MRE's that spoil or grenades that explode with confetti.

Open to any offers-

Approximate location, price and date?

Edit: report back in a week any change if you remember.

E2: went up 9¢ since I posted this morning. $3.19 now.

E3: $3.30 now. ~20¢ in a day, 50¢ in 4 days.

I will go first.

I hate how so many people act like every kind of art or media is now derivative because someone else out of billions of people and thousands of years had a somewhat similar idea.

At work when management said due to iranian drone strikes and sirens we are supposed to go to bomb shelter rather than straight home, in the beginning of this conflict they said we are allowed to work from home later they said work from home is no longer allowed , when i said to my dad it’s unfair that we are not allowed to go home, he said

they aren’t paying you for free, others are also in similar condition what’s the big deal?

is that right or wrong? Or am i just over reacting
