Why should we send 74 billion in aid to Israel and Ukraine when 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, we are the only OECD nation without some form of universal healthcare, and over 650,000 Americans are homeless (a 12 percent increase during 2023). Do you honestly believe that there is a higher priority to send obscenely large sums of money in the form of aid to other countries rather than focusing on the material issues we face as a nation?
This is such a low effort response that showcases US apathy for it’s own poverty conditions. Of the $75.4 billion sent to Ukraine alone, only $26.4 billion was financial (loans, funds, other financial support), and on top of that only $2.7 billion is used for humanitarian purposes like food, healthcare, etc). The remaining $46.3 billion is reflected as military spending towards weapons and equipment, security training, grants and loans for weapons, etc, all of which is covered from our $800 billion dollar “defense” budget.
So now that we’ve addressed your concerns about how tax dollars fund military spending, I ask again, do you honestly believe that there is a higher priority to spend large sums of money in the form of aid to other countries rather than focusing on the material issues we face as a nation?
It's not possible at the moment. Lemmy devs acknowledged it was a widely requested feature but last I read, they were focused on maintaining the performance of Lemmy during the spike of users during the great Reddit migration.
Chrono Trigger was my childhood rpg and just pulls me in with the story, the music, it's definitely one of my favorite games. I loved playing through the Dragon Age and Mass Effect games as well. I was a huge fan of the Telltale Walking Dead games during college and got to meet some of the voice actors at PAX East. I probably have like 10k hours in multiplayer games like Call of Duty 1, 2, and 4 on PC, but games like that are built around the community so kind of hard to recreate that experience now
I'm genuinely so excited to see some of the more focussed communities blossom on this platform as they have on Reddit over the years. Which are your favourites and which do you think could succeed here?
Sort of off topic, but I like to use Serializd and Letterboxd for tracking shows/movies, maintaining my watchlist, rating my favorites to get suggested results with similar vibes, and to follow people that are into the same stuff I'm into, especially if they make lists for every year, so no matter what I always have something to check out.
I'm really into Overwatch 2 now and I didn't see an active community for it, so I made !overwatch2 . I hope it catches on because I'd like to see more ow2 content on here
Probably people with a NAS running stash app with libraries of over 20tb of full length 4k videos sorted by actors, studios, and tags. If I had to guess.
I'm resetting windows 10 on my Thinkpad T580 for work but would like to create a partition for linux. It's an older laptop and really chugs through games like Minecraft or RuneScape but I enjoy playing relaxing games while I listen to audiobooks at night. I grew up using windows which is why I've mostly used Ubuntu and ZorinOS...
I don't quite know the term for the subs yet coming from reddit. But in reddit words what videogame subreddits are you excited to be created over time?...

Are there benefits to hosting your own personal lemmy?
Slowly exploring the lemmy ecosystem, since I don't want to use reddit, and was wondering if selfhosting would be a good idea?
