hmmm... that's odd. the edges of both the left and right side of the screen do the same thing on my pixel 8

i'd recommend something flat to the ground with a wide toebox. personally i like lems primals, but there's a lot of options. the problem with high sole shoes is you want stability while lifting

only advice i can think to offer is to try the gesture navigation. it's not what you're asking for, but it's different from what's not working for you, and maybe it will work for you

it's nuts. even most Chinese scholars in China acknowledge that Chinese history has been imperialistic as fuck ever since the salt and iron debates when the Chinese court selected to expand militarily into neighboring countries. the only real debate is whether the current regime is just another phase of the imperial order of organization and then collapse or is some new thing that will prove more durable (the scholar i learned from argued for the former, that eventually the communist party will lose their mandate of heaven, and popular uprisings will once again see china divided).

that dessalines would mark this VERY widely understood truth in China as sinophobic is… frankly sinophobic. it implies the Chinese people are too dumb to assess their own history, and only he and his tanky brethren get to analyze Chinese history. Like… this is some seriously offensive shit.

the best time to start protesting against the fascist takeover of our government was 40 years ago. the second best time is today

here's the thing. they're not happening left and right by the left and right. the political right dominates the violence based terrorism and assassination space. to imply otherwise is to run cover for them.

sounds like someone is waking up to that gender is socially constructed except without waking up and instead going deeper to sleep

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 9 points 5 hours ago

it's helped you develop muscles to help other people who are waking up to that they need to join in. you already know alternatives

a la Napoleon, the confederate states of america, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, and the Likud.

nothing is ever new

 

Not 100% Solarpunk, but it introduces people who aren't already solarpunks to some of the stuff people who self identify as solarpunks spend time thinking about

 

context: they're going out of business

 

there's something beautiful that every individual has their own image for what Baberaham Lincoln looks like. like you read that, and it evokes for you in your head your very own Baberaham Lincoln

 

I just want to have a discussion about this. All of the remakes and reboots hollywood has done throughout its history have always been a way of just making money by putting all the money on "sure" bets, things that producers already know people like because they were successful before, but there's something exceptionally soulless about the Disney reboots.

There seems to be no true desire to introduce a new generation to stories they weren't familiar with, but instead a desire to just rewrite disneys entire catalog to be presented in a new aesthetic. It's a homogenization of film to a single set of techniques and looks. Capitalism is directly strangling creativity and it's being successful enough that it's seemingly never going to stop. I mean. They're rebooting movies that aren't even 20 years old yet at this point. There are people in college seeing promos for reboots of movies their parents took them to as kids.

It's creating this environment where we're all stuck in this moment that already passed. The media we consume now was written in response to events that happened already, have passed us by, and can no longer be addressed. Any attempts to make new media that meet our current moment are stifled by studios who just... Don't care.

 

Well y'all finally went and did it. You got me to comment in your community, so now I gotta post something before I leave. I hope you're happy. I mean honestly. Is this what you wanted? Do you like this? Do you like my shitty shit post?

Don't ever let it be said I don't follow the rules

 

Posting from my alt account because file uploads seem to still not be working on beehaw

For the screen readers: This is a very small preying mantis that was on my door this morning. It is about the length of my first finger's first bone (the finger tip).

 

Lionir elected to prevent any potential data leaks by shutting down Beehaw until the issues lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone are identified and resolved

 

Not much to add. Saw it in another technology forum and thought it also belonged here for the solarpunks
