Yeah, it's the kind of thing a country doesn't come back from without a radical reformation.

I think by saying it, it causes it, and leads everyone to pay attention.

These people have no idea where on Trump/Suzie Wiles rank they are.

Dan would have been down the bottom somewhere.

You're fired!

Wikipedia was The Encyclopedia Brittanica, and you bought a set of them, and the book shelf they were on, from the TV.

Part of why the economy still worked, people still needed physical things.

Trump is one of the people currently claiming there's a "white genocide" in SA.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

That would upset the status quo power relations which both parties serve...

...and yet Trump has been elected exactly because people are upset with the status quo power relations in politics.

So it's a question of whether Trump and his team are true believers in upsetting the system, or whether they were doing it all for the pay day from the same groups/people who the political economy always serves.

Only corrupt people who are willing to "play ball" for the rich get into office. Trump is part of the service economy for the rich (the Dempublican kingmakers).

They won't interrupt their bosses when they're having a good time.

Why would individual Dems upset their bosses (the wealthy people who paid Trump cash presents on inauguration day).

The wealthy of each state haven't changed or lost power, they've increased it. Good people don't get into office, only people who "play ball" with them do. Dems aren't going to upset the game for you... You, the crowd have to storm the pitch.

Oh yeah you're right 👍

The source I found appears to list the wrong figure.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

Your linked source doesn't appear to list that number (It lists 8 cm a minute).

Perhaps you (or a large language model, if you're using one) has it mixed up with this:

"Snails have been measured at speeds of 0.048 kilometres per hour."

From this source.

Also, 1 cm tall would be a very small snail... Approximately the size of your smallest fingernail.

Is... Is this a body being dumped?

 

Journalist Antoinette Lattouf was awarded A$70,000 and possibly more in damages after the public broadcaster wrongly dismissed her under Zionist lobby pressure for sharing a social media post critical of Israel's conduct  in Gaza, reports Joe Lauria.

Currently if I paste a link to a Lemmy.World post on reddit, the user is taken to the comments section - and the image post (eg. the point of the actual link), is a tiny thumbnail.

This is now how to get people to cross over to Lemmy and other federated services.

 

The sidebar should be behind a link or tab.

We desperately need a "disable inbox replies" feature, or at least a place we can turn ALL notifications off.

The "search -> for communities" drop down, should just take you to the communities list (which has a search bar, and actual links to the communities, rather than a directory of them).

Does anyone have any more they'd like to list in the comments?

 

Does Friendica for instances, have something like Facebook Messenger going on? What would be the best for real time communication on both phone and desktop?
