Wait, Ibiza is 85% Spanish, 50~% Spanish born on Ibiza and 35% from mainland Spain. The remaining 15% are like British and Italian tourists. How is Ibiza 2+ levels safer than mainland Spain and England?

Todd Howard: we hear you fans, we are currently working on updates for Morrowind, Starfield and Elder Scrolls Online which will break add-on/mod support and ruin the frame rate for those games instead of just FO4!
Probably because FirstPost is not a credible new source according to Indians I know. It started off as Forbes India which then got acquired by a corporate conglomerate to push xenophobic and right wing opinion pieces. For example How the protests in the US are anti-Semitic
I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn’t see anything relating to it and I’m kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see. ive been paying attention to interactions but nothing is as good as just asking everyone.
There’s a distinction between those who aren’t as educated and those who are actively antagonistic/reactionary (which Mao was definitely not a fan of).
In Fediverse terms, it’s the difference between a lib walking in and asking “Why is voting for Biden bad if Trump would be worse?” And a lib walking in and stating “If you don’t vote for Biden you’re a republican”.
The misinformed and the outright reactionaries may sound similar at times, it is the nuance that we must address.
It would be kinda funny to be federated with an instance where all the admins are actually banned. It’s like China sanctioning US officials and their families but allowing ordinary US citizens in.
I don’t normally vote in these things but I think it would be pretty funny if we were federated with an instance where all the admins have a permanent ban. I don’t think the average user is too bad, just keep mr Divided By Zero and Jeff Bridges Avatar lib banned.
It’s also still used if “misinformation” turns out to be 100% true.
Also, it’s for some reason never applied if, say, Israel pushes the narrative that babies were beheaded, or if Zenz says there’s a genocide in the middle of Urumuqi, Xinjiang.
So he’s a white rapper whose number 1 hit from a decade ago opens with
Walk into the club like “whaddup, I got a big cock”
His second had a line that said he was “somewhere between Rocky (Balboa) and (Bill) Cosby”, shortly before the allegations of SA became widespread. Not quite MF DOOM in terms of lyrics.
Both hits were really popular with hot couch guys, dance clubs and frat bros.
So people kind of assumed he was either apolitical or worse yet, a chud.
But then he came out with a pro BLM song during the George Floyd protests, and more recently he called for a ceasefire last year before Bernie and AOC did.
I think he is genuine, but if I were to tell someone a decade ago that the Thrift Shop guy will outflank the Labour/Democratic party on the left on race issues and Palestine, I don’t think they would believe me.
Wait what if the building is a small shop that has a singular room with a toilet and sink in it? The little bookstore near my house only has 1 water closet. Those type of stores will be illegal to build from now on?
Hexbear began as refugees from r/chapotraphouse, a leftist subreddit that was purged from Reddit by the admins 4 years ago, well before the API drama of last year.
The subreddit was banned due to supporting violence against “”“people”“” known as slave owners. Posts saying kill slave owners, John Brown did nothing wrong, etc, was the catalyst.
Hexbear was then an un-federated Lemmy instance until last year. Basically, due to not being federated with others and being born from crude dirtbag leftists, culture on Hexbear has splintered from Reddit and Lemmy at large. Mainly, being civil was not a requirement so personal insults and ad hominem is seen as not only perfectly fine, but preferred. Also uniquely being a leftist space that hasn’t had a large, community ending schism between the anarchists and Leninists has been a factor.
When Hexbear did become federated, Reddit refugees people didn’t like our hardline LGBT inclusive anti NATO Anarcho-Stalinist takes, and used Reddit terms such as “brigading” to describe our behaviour, which is more or less a misunderstanding, we have posts sorted by “Active” by default so what you see first is what someone replied to most recently, and we don’t have down votes so if you disagree with someone you reply to them to voice your disagreement instead of down voting and moving on like a coward. (EDIT: This has been the setup since BEFORE FEDERATION. By YEARS. Were we brigading ourselves? Christ. We discovered it promotes discussions and engagement, which is why our instance is the highest activity per capita by an order of magnitude before federation)
So oftentimes when a newly federated instance user posts something like “Vote blue no matter who!”, it will show up to us, we can’t downvote, we reply with something along the lines of “You’re a dipshit”, that increases engagement, other people see it, also reply with serious and unserious answers alike.
Oftentimes, Reddit refugee liberals see our scathing hatred of Democrats as pro-Trump because their brains are programmed to only see the existence of 2 parties, despite one of our biggest threads before federation being hundreds of posters hoping Trump dies when he first caught COVID. Or being against the expansion of NATO as being pro Putin. Or support for Palestine as antisemitism. Etc.
So basically, a combination of “crude” language, “brigading” and being “MAGA/Putin/CCP/Iran/shills/bots” makes Hexbear a prime target for hating on.
Liberalism fundamentally has an incompatiblity with socialism and communism because it’s fubdamentally rooted in the rights of an individual to own land and/or the means of production, as well as supporting market economies.
This is in stark contrast to workers owning the means of production, or seizing private property for the greater good.
Liberals in other countries tend to be centre right, such as the Australian liberals or a fair amount of European liberals.
Dem strategy in theory: Publically calling for an end to Israeli war crimes while still funding the IDF means the Zionists and the people with souls are both satisfied
Dem strategy in practice: Zionists upset the cash cow, while still delivering cash, complained mildly; anti-genocide protesters upset there’s still unlimited funding for IDF
Years from now when it accepted that I have been correct about all of this (the sissy students at Kent State deserves to be shot), please do not use my name and say tha-
Neglect and fail to train a puppy you intend to turn into a hunting dog for clout because you think hunting as a hobby will help your political career
Puppy kills neighbour’s pets because it was neglected and trained poorly
Put down said puppy because this might make you look bad
Admit that you put down said puppy, and how it made your daughter sad because she bonded with said puppy, in a weird “oh I can make hard choices if I need to” sort of way
What’s more likely is Amazon and HBO contracted a South Korean studio who subcontracted a Chinese studio for some of the more mundane animations, and they proceeded to sub-subcontract a North Korean studio.
There’s a lot of outsourcing for animation, this happened like 15 years ago with Avatar: The Last Airbender, where one of the South Korean studios involved with Book 3 subcontracted some work to China (cursory Google says DR Movie, which collaborated with a Chinese studio based in Qingdao)

Why are socialist and communist countries usually considered more authoritarian than capitalist countries?
As for people who are politically backward, Communists should not slight or despise them, but should befriend them,unite with them, convince them and encourage them to go forward. -Mao Zedong (lemmygrad.ml)
