They were rather obviously continuing the joke...

I don't want to stand up for him, I want to stand up for prisoners as a whole. It's ok that his conditions improve if everyone elses do too, just like a bunch of other vile pieces of shit would have better conditions. And no one remotely on the left is going to rally behind him specifically.

But it does mean that him crying about it changes nothing because my stance has been the same before.

It's a common practice, twitch does the same. It probably just scales with a very large amount of payments that would be needed otherwise, especially with all the shovelware steam gets these days.

I'm saying that currently running ones are rather pointless, not the new one. Both the one in japan and china are pretty great applications.

Imo people should strive to be better than average for where they live. Leads to continuous improvement. Never make the mistake of trying to be the end goal society needs to reach while everyone else is still far away, the mass of changes is important, so you'll just make yourself miserable and not save the world anyway.

Japan has been building a long distance one for a while now. It got held up in one prefecture because of environmental and political reasons though. Currently running maglevs anywhere are all kinda gimmicky (really no point in going super fast when the distance is very short anyway, waste of money).

A web frontend for lemmy that silently included a blacklist that blocked users for just about everything the dev didn't like.

I, for one, am in support of your ability to stop giving mullvad money as a consequence, but not in support of anyone being fired over a political donation regardless. I don't want to be fired over donating to causes I support, and there is no universal moral judge to say what is fine to donate to, even if I have pretty strong opinions on the matter.

Nah 30c is "i wish it was socially acceptable to just walk around naked because I am fucking dying in a t shirt and shorts" weather.

40 is just that but worse

I hope I never have to experience high humidity 40 I might just keel over and die

30f is viable for shorts but only with a thick-ish jacket on upper body

You don't need an actual adress for that. If something has adress verification, you'd also need to camp the mailbox. At which point you don't need the name beyond what is available at said mailbox anyway. And just getting full names of real people with a general area of living is far easier online.

Yeah, to my knowledge lolicon is very specifically about the attraction aspect without any accusations beyond that, while paedophile has different connotations (in spite of originally having that same meaning). But then the word lolicon in english has that specific meaning about drawn children which is also not what the word means in japanese. So there's not really a 100% right way to translate it, but going by the context that anime characters tend to say lolicon in, translating it as paedophile seems more likely to be misleading about the actual situation portrayed.

Whether it should be treated as lightly as it often is in anime is a whole different discussion and I'd say it shouldn't but it's completely valid to question the translation imo

Recycling is about more than just plastics. It is a bit funny to me how that has always been the main focus though given how afaik it's a lot less viable and/or useful than aluminium, cardboard, glass recycling.
