Oof. Missed this. Thanks, good to know!

If you're talking about easily available running shoes, there are still select New Balances that are union made in the US (as of a couple of years ago).

If you're looking for just sneakers, there are a ton made in Europe you can get shipped to north america! I have Vegas at the moment

I did mean itch.io, but that's alright - the ambiguity was my fault and I'm not completely set on itch.io.

Mobile not necessary. Thanks so much!

 

Hey all, Sorry if this is not a great magazine to post this. I'm looking for a nice cozy game (for a non-gamer!) to play for about an hour or so a day instead of doomscrolling. I like the idea of a game where I can make slow progress, though I don't tend to like the traditional RPG style. But something like a slow moving simulator or whatever could be great (for example, I really enjoy MiniMetro on mobile). Thoughts?

Does someone have a more specific source? I want to read more into these numbers. I knew it was bad, but wow

Hey! I'm in this picture!

@Linktank@lemmy.today I assume you are right, I think the photos are from an experiment from the 50s or 60s.

Ok, unlike the other commenter, you are engaging and this is a fair point. I don't know enough about the Nepal and South Korea case to assess how fast it took: Yes, it looked like a week to international observers who aren't reading the Nepal Daily or whatever, but I'd want to here from people on the ground about how much or how little lead up and organization there was leading up to the tipping points.

But that's not disagreeing with you - just saying I genuinely don't know if you're right or not, but I do appreciate the comparisons.

100% agree with the above!

I'm a bit confused on how quickly you expect political change to happen...do you think the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of No Kings can be assessed a week on? Imagine you were in Birmingham during the bus boycott - after a week you'd be out there saying "look! We did this and nothing happened!"

I don't love everything about no kings, the tactics, and the messaging. But give it a second, dude!

I don't think so. Its just not necessary. Especially in a city like New York, there will just be a Capital Strike to make sure Mamdani fails at everything he tries. Then they'll blame socialism.

 
 

The Epstein case has a lot of evidence supporting a conspiracy, and I certainly think there is more to it than we know. But in recent days I've seen upvoted comments about (a) the NYC shooter not actually targeting the NFL despite all reporting suggesting otherwise, and (b) that Russia intentionally caused the Earthquake.

I think given the self-selective nature of a federated social network we already need to be vigilant about preventing any kind of 4chanification. I'm not calling for censorship of any kind, but I do find it raises some beige flags for me about Lemmy...

The governments of India and Pakistan pulled back from the brink over Kashmir because neither can afford a full-scale war. Bellicose rhetoric and a climate of strident nationalism have helped both governments as they face problems on the domestic front.
