I think activity spread out quite a bit. During the exodus everyone was posting into the same two and a half meme communities causing massive churn on the front page and giant threads, but now everyone has created and/or settled into their comfortable little corners so any particular portion of lemmy looks less active, while overall it's larger.

Go ahead, go outside onto the streets, and proclaim "I want lots of people murdered. The more we murder, the better. We really should get started now, what are you waiting for" and see where that's going to end, even in places like the US. Then realise that showing the Nazi salute expresses that exact same thing.

There's no such thing as non-criminal fascism. Thus advocating for it is advocating for, condoning, approving etc. of crimes which is a crime literally everywhere, rightfully so.

Fascism is not an opinion, it's a crime.

Nein. Es wird von "Entscheidende Hinweisen", Plural, gesprochen, nicht dass diese Hinweise entscheidend waren. "Entscheidende Hinweise" schließt nicht die Existenz anderer entscheidender Hinweise aus, so funktionieren nunmal Mengen in der deutschen Sprache. Stünde da "der entscheidende Hinweis" dann wäre das was anderes.

Auf der Metabene muss man fragen: Warum wurde das berichtet? Weil, gerade in Anbetracht der US-Wahl, Atlantizismus: Es soll die gute Zusammenarbeit mit den USA betont werden. Aus dem Artikel etwas über den VS abzulesen, auch gerade weil der Artikel ständig nur über's FBI redet, ist sehr dünner Kaffeesatz.

You were describing me, rather than discussing the issue.

I have been discussing the issue. You failed, repeatedly, to acknowledge developmental psychology 101, that is, you didn't discuss the issue. Thus, to work towards the possibility of a discussion about the original issue, I expanded the discussion to your person.

Because unless and until you realise that you're doing your darndest to not look at relevant factors there can be no progress. And with this I'm actually out.

I reject the idea that only a fully mature frontal cortex is capable of restraining someone from murdering a teenager. Even a radically undeveloped frontal cortex is more than capable.

And I suppose you're a neuroscientist, behavioural psychologist, and generally smarter than literally every single person working in juvenile justice.

Everything else in your last comment is an ad hominem, and doesn’t need a response.

No. I was describing your character as I inferred from your behaviour, I was not making arguments based on it. Learn your fallacies: "You are a numpty, therefore, you are wrong" is ad hominem. "You are wrong, therefore, you are a numpty" is not.

"Choose". There it is again. Read up on what the frontal cortex does. You're ignorant and unwilling to rectify it.

If I were mean I could now claim that's a choice on your part. But, no: You simply lack the self-control necessary to do your research before you form an opinion and post it online. That little step back, saying "wait, is this right", that "should I consider this impulse more closely before acting on it". You're lacking it, and by golly our 15yold is lacking it. He has an excuse, you, presumably, are old enough to have a fully developed frontal cortex.

Mostly they're dried, including pod, the rest is genetics.

They are botanically nuts, though: They are indehiscent, meaning they do not open to release their seeds. They're also fruit. It's e.g. pine nuts which aren't nuts because pine cones do indeed open and release the seeds. Of which you should roast a couple and mush up with a wee bit of garlic, a metric pound of basil, some salt, some proper hard cheese, and quantum satis good olive oil. Use a mortar the basil wants to get squeezed, pre-chop everything or you're going to be there forever. Throw your pasta, shape is not that important as long as it's bronze-cut, into a pan at lowish heat, put your pesto on top, add some of that pasta water (incl. the starch in there), the saponids in the garlic will help with emulsifying everything. Reduce very carefully you don't want to denature the cheese.

I guess making a distinction, in the culinary context, between nuts and peanuts makes sense because allergy considerations, legumes are a class of their own there.

"entscheidende Hinweise kamen vom FBI" bedeutet nicht "ohne die wäre nichts passiert, der VS hätte nichts auf die Reihe gebracht". Steht nochmal sehr explizit da: "[...] geht auch auf Hinweise [...]". Man beachte das "auch".

Leute, Medienkompetenz. Die Amis lesen in Chats mit, war wahrscheinlich Englischsprachig und eher ein Tummelplatz für US-Nazis. Können sie im Gegensatz zum VS auch offen drüber reden weil das ist, auch wenn man sich ein bisschen eingeschleust hat, OSINT. Das macht die Antifa ständig, auch ganz ohne Hoheitsrechte ist nämlich komplett legal für jedermann.

Please, again, read up on developmental psychology, and what the prefrontal cortex does. The alternative, for you, is to effectively have zero empathy for anyone younger than the early 20s. Whether they murdered or stole a cookie or broke a toy.

I'm out of here lest sounding like a broken clock.

His upbringing isn’t relevant to the issue.

Why? Because it would put blame on the adults? Because you want to, at all cost, deflect responsibility from the ones in the position to provide warmth without there being a burning village?

I call that spineless.

He isn’t owed any societal protections for deciding to kill someone.

Why, then, are the adults owed social protections for deciding to turn him into the kid he became? And yes I used "decided" deliberately here: If he decided to become a murderer, then the adults can't claim that "it was an accident", "we didn't mean to" when it comes up to turning him into a murderer.

I would hedge my bets for now. Alternative scenario: The Saudis throw another party for Trump, make some business deals in exchange for reigning in Israel. The House of Al Saud of course doesn't care about Palestinians but their people do and a party and some business is a low price to pay to be celebrated by your subjects.

When it comes to Russia, Trump may realise that Putin way overplayed his hand, but that's balanced by animosity towards Zelensky. OTOH, I mean, business deals. Don't underestimate Ukraine when it comes to being smooth operators. They can sell NASA/SpaceX rocket engines made from Russian war reparations titanium.

Thing is: Trump is highly neurotic and thus, while not necessarily predictable, highly manipulatable if you know what you're doing. Only have to blow the right smoke up his ass.
