@SeeStars It's called coalition building and soft diplomacy. Biden is a master of it. The last thing you want is to alienate a powerful nation like India or China and drive them further towards Russia. Trump never understood that because he's an idiot.
Unfortunately soft diplomacy means shaking hands with some horrible people :(
@wildncrazyguy "However, icing a sprain does still have some benefits, such as reducing initial inflammation so that you can start to do what can actually help - moving the muscles."
Um, that's pretty much what icing is supposed to do. No one is advised to keep icing a sprain past a couple of days
@buffaloseven do you mind if I pick your brain? Why does kbin have microblogs AND threads, and why do some magazine have only microblogs? Is that an admin choice?
@Suedeltica I pretty much only follow family and a few friends, and some organisations I want news from. Not a huge number. But Facebook can't even deliver me all those posts in time order, and I'm missing out lots of personal news I wanted to hear, like friends being engaged! If a 'social network' can't even do that basic function, it's useless. I keep getting prompted to follow more people, when I can't even get the updates from the people I already follow.
@ryand3rk wow! I finally managed to read a kbin post on Mastodon, and then I boosted it through my Mastodon account (reversing the steps you took to post it here, presumably :) )
