Because we can't do anything about it.

Europe needs to put boots on the ground in Ukraine. You need to stop this now.

Partly to stop the invasion of Europe. Partly to gear up Europe for war in the hopes of preventing a larger conflict later.

It's one of those Gen Z living vans we see in the memes because they can't afford a house.

How's the commute from there to the Capitol building where he works?

If there's going to be a world war, I'd prefer to not be on the side of Russia and China.

I hope this isn't one of those instances where I 90% agree with you, but you're gonna be angry with me over the 10% difference.

Aren't parking spaces smaller in Europe than the US? There is value is having smaller cars.

To go farther into the 10%, there's a lot of rural America that needs cars. It's not practical to lay track literally everywhere. And Park n' Rides are much, much more tolerable if the demand and use for them is much smaller. I don't expect places like nowhere Ohio to give up their cars. I just want all towns to be more walkable, and I want the biggest transformation to be in the cities.

I mean, I expected corruption. I didn't expect this level of corruption.

On the bright side, that 400m might not be worth much after they're done with the economy. Wait... fuck.

I dunno, there isn't much more "fuck cars" than this particular "fuck these cars". Thanks for leaving it up either way.

Only sarcastically, when that's really obvious.

He intended it. He very clearly, extremely clearly intended it. The best possible interpretation is that he instead to do it because he wanted to troll people and he's the biggest moron imaginable, but that really doesn't check out. He did it from behind the presidential seal.

He was aware of what he was doing. He considered his actions well in advance.

Attempting to add doubt to that idea is promoting the neo-Nazi agenda. You're trying to turn his bullhorn into a dog whistle. It's offensive and near bannable.

I try to use words over mod/admin tools when possible, and if you're trying to do what it appears you're trying to do, then it's not very effective.

[–] Serinus 3 points 5 days ago

It's not impossible. There are a lot of crypto grifters who have been prepping to scam the American government.

First, I'm generally not following around people on YouTube and DeviantArt and random archive / link shorteners to gather evidence to ban people on Lemmy. I was not pleased when I clicked on the "evidence" and it took me to YouTube.

Second, while I was very near ready to ban based on the denial of Musk's Nazi salute, it does seem like they're just horribly wrong. Maybe a bit of sealioning on this issue. I'd advise shin to avoid going further down this path, and hopefully you were just blatantly ignorant of the evidence others have provided (AfD, etc.)

I'm open to revisiting in the future, particularly if they abuse their power as mod.

SpaceX was an accomplishment that got a lot done. Elon might be shit, but he hasn't destroyed everything he's touched.

I think he's always been a sociopathic narcissist. However. It was around the time of the "pedo" comment or early Covid that he completely purged anyone who would tell him no, surrounded himself with yes-men, and fried his brain with drugs.

Why is one person consistently posting here, suddenly, over the ~~last month~~ when this community had less than 3 posts previous to this month?

[email protected] has been active for two years, even though it's been dormant in the off season.

Why would you rather split this struggling community into two rather than build something together?

There will be a new announcement soon to clarify.

~~Communities should not be overly moderated in order to enforce a specific narrative. Respectful disagreement should be allowed in a smaller proportion to the established narrative.~~

~~Humans are naturally inclined to believe a single narrative when they're only presented with a single narrative. That's the basis of how fiction works. You can't tell someone a story if they're questioning every paragraph. However, a well placed sentence questioning that narrative gives the reader the option to chose. They're no longer in a story being told by one author, and they're free to choose the narrative that makes sense to them, even if one narrative is being pushed much more heavily than the other.~~

~~Unfortunately, some malicious actors are hijacking this natural tendency to be invested in fiction, and they're using it to create absurd, cult-like trends in non-fiction. They're using this for various nefarious ends, to turn us against each other, to generate profit, and to affect politics both domestically and internationally.~~

~~In a fully anonymous social media platform, we can't counter this fully. But we can prune some of the most egregious echo chambers.~~

~~We're aware that this policy is going to be subjective. It won't be popular in all instances. We're going to allow some "flat earth" comments. We're going to force some moderators to accept some "flat earth" comments. The point of this is that you should be able to counter those comments with words, and not need moderation/admin tools to do so. One sentence that doesn't jive with the overall narrative should be easily countered or ignored~~.

~~It's harder to just dismiss that comment if it's interrupting your fictional story that's pretending to be real. "The moon is upside down in Australia" does a whole lot more damage to the flat earth argument than "Nobody has crossed the ice wall" does to the truth. The purpose of allowing both of these is to help everyone get a little closer to reality and avoid incubating extreme cult-like behavior online.~~

~~A user should be able to (respectfully, infrequently) post/comment about a study showing marijuana is a gateway drug to !marijuana without moderation tools being used to censor that content.~~

~~Of course this isn't about marijuana. There's a small handful of self-selected moderators who are very transparently looking to push their particular narrative. And they don't want to allow discussion. They want to function as propaganda and an incubator. Our goal is to allow a few pinholes of light into the Truman show they wish to create. When those users' pinholes are systematically shut down, we as admins can directly fix the issue.~~

~~We don't expect this policy to be perfect. Admins are not aware of everything that happens on our instances and don't expect to be. This is a tool that allows us to trim the most extreme of our communities and guide them to something more reasonable. This policy is the board that we point to when we see something obscene on [email protected] so that we can actually do something about it without being too authoritarian ourselves. We want to enable our users to counter the absolute BS, and be able to step in when self-selected moderators silence those reasonable people.~~

~~Some communities will receive an immediate notice with a link to this new policy. The most egregious communities will comply, or their moderators will be removed from those communities.~~

~~Moderators, if someone is responding to many root comments in every thread, that's not "in a smaller proportion" and you're free to do what you like about that. If their "counter" narrative posts are making up half of the posts to your community, you're free to address that. If they're belligerent or rude, of course you know what to do. If they're just saying something you don't like, respectfully, and they're not spamming it, use your words instead of your moderation abilities.~~

Patch 25.S1.1 Notes (www.leagueoflegends.com)
submitted 1 month ago by Serinus to c/leagueoflegends
 

President Joe Biden will move Monday to block all future oil and gas drilling across more than 625 million acres of federal waters — equivalent to nearly a quarter of the total land area of the United States, according to two people briefed on the decision who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the announcement is not yet public.

The action underscores how Biden is racing to cement his legacy on climate change and conservation in his last weeks in office. President-elect Donald Trump, who has described his energy policy as “drill, baby, drill,” is likely to work with congressional Republicans to challenge the decision.

Biden will issue two memorandums that prohibit future federal oil and gas leasing across large swaths of the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and the Northern Bering Sea in Alaska, the two people said. The oil and gas industry has long prized the eastern Gulf of Mexico in particular, viewing the area as a key part of its offshore production plans.

...

Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for the Trump transition team, said in an email: “This is a disgraceful decision designed to exact political revenge on the American people who gave President Trump a mandate to increase drilling and lower gas prices. Rest assured, Joe Biden will fail, and we will drill, baby, drill.”

The move could have the biggest impact in the Gulf of Mexico, which accounts for about 14 percent of the country’s crude oil production, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Industry operations there focus on a small sliver of federal waters off Louisiana’s coast.
