A three day special military operation to free your welcoming neighbours from their oppressive Nazi yoke shouldn’t really involve many casualties at all… but to have 48k people submitting dna swabs for corpse identification suggests that not only are there many dead but there are literally thousands / tens of thousands of “missing” soldiers. AWOL? MIA? KIA? Doesn’t really matter. Big numbers - considering they are not at war.
Needed to be said. I honestly thought I was in Onion territory at first…
Apparently the left stops somewhere about right of centre - what a quaint political system the US has.
First question: when you use the terms “liberal” and “fascist” do you mean them in their original sense or as they are currently employed in US English?
I have zero interest in watching an anonymous YouTuber making models… but Bobby Fingers is so much more than that. Highly recommended.
Sri Lankans (of all varieties - complicated history) have elected a left leaning coalition. It’s very unusual the majority of every “section” of Sri Lanka to throw their support behind the same candidate / party (again - historical reasons.)
Here’s a BBC link. It appears to be reasonably factual as I understand it and is a good synopsis:
The incredibly recent Sri Lankan election enters the chat… and feels sad at being ignored.
Thank you (and your fellow admins) for all you do and the time you sacrifice. It is appreciated, by me at least. I don’t even want to consider what vile obscenity you run the risk of exposing yourselves to and I’m happy you’ve not yet had to purge anything; but there’s some sick individuals out there and I’m glad you’re a bulwark against that.
.ml is treated as a bit of a bogeyman around here - most of my interactions with their instance and users has been good. I realise this could be different for others. But, yes, they are Marxist-Leninist so, obviously, their opinions and content will be closely aligned with their political philosophy. In my personal opinion and experience .world seems to have vacuumed-up a tremendous amount of people from the other site you mentioned (Robbit?). Their netiquette seems to have not changed. Also, myself and some others have noticed that on .world it’s not unusual to see comments that express views from outside what the majority believe get deleted. Fortunately the “mod logs” are public record so you can see why comments were deleted, whom by and what the original post/comment was. (I guess with the exception of illegal content that has to be scrubbed) I hope you enjoy your time here. Welcome.
Wales has St. Davids - population c.1,750
I’m not claiming anything but thanks for answering the (first) question.
I know. I asked you a question - I didn’t make a statement.
The only album I’ve ever owned as a 12” vinyl, cassette tape, 8 track ceramic cartridge and CD. I now have it stored as flac files on a hardrive.
Yeah - somebody told me Queen were boring and formulaic. I told them to delete their memory of the last 45/50 years’ music and listen to them again. I’m not a massive fan, but props where props are due.
But are people driving cars better and more valuable than cyclists?
Have you ever been to China? Holland?
To be an immigrant you must first be an emigrant. Emigrants leave their country, immigrants join a country.
Unless melanin levels play a part in the story (Huck Finn, Mockingbird etc) then there’s no reason to even think about it. Describe to me how the following character looks: they go by the name Jordan and work in a Japanese restaurant in Cape Town. Everybody will picture someone different…
For the record the word Libertarian has a different meaning in the US to that used in the rest of the world.
That’s incredibly grim and it disturbs me - whilst I do (kind of) see where you’re coming from. I’m not gonna try and give you counselling or advice. I’m neither qualified nor know anything much about you to do that. I sincerely hope that in a decade or so a happier you looks back on the immediate future (as it is now) and just takes a deep breath and puts it down to another blip in humanity’s long and winding road. That would be nice.
It’s fine to not support any death - ever. Don’t sweat that.
There’s a skit on a Fugees album where it essentially says: “Let a MF kick you one time then he’ll kick you one time. Let a MF kick you two times then he gonna kick you two times… but if you rip off his MFing legs then there ain’t gonna be no more kicking.”
I think some very tired people have got to the leg removing stage.
