Sticky Mustache, is that you?
Well.. I'm using an instance that has 10 active users according to https://piefed.fediverse.observer/list :)
I wanted to move from Lemmy to PieFed, because its development is faster than that of Lemmy's and because its maintainers have values I have nothing against and because I want to help a cool project grow.
And then I had a bunch of criteria that I wanted my instance to fulfill, and piefed.ee was the only PieFed instance that fulfilled all of my wishes. So, now I'm apparently one out of ten :)
Heh, it also had been an exceptionally slow developing system for a couple of centuries.
And when it almost catches the others, that's days of jubilation. Heh :)
Note that Lifespan is not the same as life expectancy
In this article it is, though. That's why they use the phrase "average lifespan". There is no "average" in maximum.
In the article the phrase "average lifespan" is used in the meaning "average life expectancy".
It's because the 38 years as average lifespan is skewed by high child mortality. People lived about 70 or 80 years – provided they first made it alive through childhood.
But genetically we come from nomadic tribes, and AFAIK the nomads of a 100000 years ago, had a far shorter average lifespan than after we settled and began farming.
This is mainly because of child mortality. When you get five children, of which two live to be 78 and 89 and the other three die at ages of 2, 14, and 8, your children's average lifespan is 38,2 years. Typically, you either died very young, or you lived old. And the average is, well, the average of those. Basically nobody died around the age of 38.
All that frankly...
No, I don't see issue with most of those mod actions.
Some specific ones seem a bit unnecessary, but I can understand that once they have read a bunch of your conspiracy theories, they get a very negative image of you, and that colours the rest of their decisionmaking.
Some "fancy" ones do taste different, but the basic ones do share a clearly distinguishable common taste.
Yes, and the taste of what's in most energy drinks is what's being sought for here.
BBC News says it was said using a megaphone when talking to a large crowd:
Petro shared a video on social media of him addressing a large crowd through a megaphone in Spanish on Friday.
He called for the formation of a "world salvation army, whose first task is to liberate Palestine".
"That is why, from here in New York, I ask all soldiers in the United States Army not to point their rifles at humanity," he said. "Disobey Trump's order! Obey the order of humanity!"
You forgot to read the end of my comment.
We are almost completely in agreement.
(Of course Trump's rhyme and reason are irrelevant here. The president of Colombia is not known as a moron and there is a demand for him to act like a diplomat even when visiting a moron. But, Trump, Mussolini and similar make an exception: the charter of Human Rights is the most important piece of rules there is, and it basically requires everybody to behave that way. Therefore: unusual but acceptable.)
Okay, there just was a review that had pretty much the same content you wrote :)
