I don’t know why we’re still federated with troll instances like this…

I always like the theory that the entire Starfleet is just a relief valve for people who can’t be satisfied in a post scarcity utopia

They could stay on Earth and cause problems, or they can boldly go far the fuck away from an ideal society.

A high turnover of senior leadership due to stupid risks means that there’s room for promotion and ambitious people stay in the fleet.

Otherwise they’d return to Earth and fuck up society.

Historically, every society needs some kind of relief valve like this or domestic issues develop. Once it’s an entire world government, they need that relief valve to vent off planet. And that’s what Starfleet is.

I envy woman for being able to walk around with a bag the size of a phone without looking stupid.

Bruh stop caring what people think and carry a bag if you want.

I’ll never understand why guys bitch about not being able to do something because it’s not perceived as “manly”.

If you’re secure in your own masculinity then you wouldn’t give two shits what other people thought about carrying a bag, what you drive, what kind of dog you have, or any of that stuff.

Don’t worry about projecting the appearance of a confident man. And just be confident in yourself bro.

You think that’s bad?

Food in most county lockups is so bad, be use of the way it’s funded.

The Sheriff gets paid like $10/day/prisoner, and then they pay for the food.

So there’s a direct financial incentive for them to keep the jail at capacity and provide the cheapest possible meals.

They don’t have access to price paid tho…

So like, where are they getting the price? A game that was $60 on release 5 years ago might have been bought then or for $5 on a sale.

That’s not even getting into Humble Bundles from back in the day.

Every language initially embraced words for black and white, symbolizing darkness and light, followed by red, associated with blood and wine. Subsequently, yellow and green entered linguistic lexicons, with blue consistently lagging behind as the last hue universally recognized.

Yeah. Disney wants that market share and has been catering to China for a while now.

Yeah, dude tried to open his own personal Netflix and is surprised it got taken down.

From post history he managed to keep it up for less than a month.

I’m betting by “friends” he meant either online friends he’s never met, or people he wanted to impress.

So they gave zero fucks and handed it out to more people. Like, just the idea that you’re giving it to so many people that you actually buy a domain?

There’s a reason everyone isn’t already doing it already.

You can move your home instance where you log in? Explain how.

I mean. Since you asked so politely…

You can export your settings in a .json file, then create a new account on a new instance an import your settings.

But like, you need to try and be better when you’re asking people for help.

You should read the sidebar’s at least, they’re heavily biased, but upfront about it.

It’s been their safe space longer than most other instances have been around. It’s also a good idea to look at modlogs when coming across a new sub/instance.

Not everything shows up there though. Like if someone is banned and has all their content removed, it won’t all show up in the log. But when individual comments are removed, it’ll show you what was said.

Don’t just assume everyone online will be upfront about their biases

Ok?

So if you disagree with their policy enough, you can change instances.

Or you can stay, and build up those alternative communities instead of asking people to do it for you.

Like, the logic behind this isn’t difficult, and I thought you’d be able to grasp it.

That’s why I bothered to reply, instead of just blocking you. Same chance I gave some of the lemmy.ml subs before blocking their instance.

You’re handling it about as well

Where has LW announced that they would be defederating?

People kept saying it one of the recent daily threads people have been making.

Which is what they are trying to achieve by promoting those communities in this post?

You think posting repetitively here is the same as:

If you want to build up alternatives, post and comment so they’re more active.

How does that make sense?

But if you want to move discussion off their communities make posts in those alternatives. That would actually do something.

These posts are Susan G Kommen levels of difference making…

We getting one of these a day now?

If you don’t like it, petition your admins (via posts on your own instance) to defed.

If they don’t want to, find a new instance that does, or stay and block their instance so you don’t see their subs.

If you want to build up alternatives, post and comment so they’re more active.

I just don’t see the point of these posts when most Lemmy users have been around for a while and know what lemmy.ml is like by now.

Be the change you want to see, post in those communities yourself instead of these daily announcements threads on an instance that’s already defederating apparently

Bruh, you need to not speculate on things you have no idea about

But clearly you don’t care about what actually happened, so I’ll stop trying to explain basic shit to you now.

You think the nuclear bombs were a genocide?

Seriously, who “taught” you this stuff?

I am genuinely curious where people presented all of this stuff you’re saying as history.

Like, it’s almost like the only thing you know about civilian deaths in WW2 was American dropped nukes.

There’s sooooo much that you’re missing. But unless you dropped out of school at a very young age, I can’t be the first person that tries to explain this to you

So where are your opinions coming from?

Is this a thing where you learned everything you know about a subject from YouTube videos?

If so…

Why?

And even after the nuclear bombs, there was an attempted coup to stop surrender.

Prior to the bombs, there was no chance of surrender.

That is history.

If you think there was anyway they’d have surrendered without nukes then yes, I will agree that you are “not an expert”.

For fucks sake, after the nukes there was still an attempted coup to prevent surrender…

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyūjō_incident

People thay think Japan surrendered because of loss of life, have no idea what they’re talking about about.

Japan surrendered because they thought America had more nukes, and if they kept fighting then Japan would be left uninhabitable for centuries due to atomic contamination.

The people who tried the coup, did so because they thought America didn’t have more nukes.

They weren’t stupid,

They weren’t, but honor was/is huge in their culture, and Japan was an empire for thousands of years.

They’d have fought to the last Japanese civilian was alive

They surrendered, and I know I’m repeating myself, because they thought their islands would be literally wiped off the face of the planet.

Anything less wouldn’t have won the war and cost more lives on both sides.

Even as a trolly problem, it’s not a tough call on if nukes saved lives.

I suggest you learn about history before you form opinions on what happened

Japan was already surrendering

Who told you something that ridiculous?

I got a ban for pointing out the nuclear strikes on Japan killed less than the conventional firebombing runs leading up to it, and if nukes wouldn’t have been used a shit ton more people would have died.

Like, no opinion on if what was morally right or not, just what the numbers worked out.

It’s all trolls over there, when a rational person makes a community, the admins start drama there and troll the mods till they leave or get kicked out for stupid shit.

I just blocked the whole instance. I never see any of their posts now, and as an unintended bonus I don’t even get notifications when their users reply to my comments.

Like, it would be best if we defederated from them and that hilariouschaos troll instance.

But I can just block them, works the same.
