Damned Leftists! They ruined the left!

After the black Saturday fires in Australia, many home owners who were insured discovered to their horror that they were under insured

The value of their possessions and the repair value of their home had increased but they hadn't increased the level of insurance coverage to match. Despite suffering total losses, many have been unable to afford to rebuild.

This has been in the back of my mind seeing the LA fires. This is just the beginning. It will take decades for some of these people to re establish.

What narrative would that be?

'you should'

Wait isn't it c:\ ?

no it's the normal erasure of gen x from the timeline

The timeline goes

Old dead boomers

Dying wealthy boomers

Young poor boomers

Gen y

Millennials

Gen z

Gen alpha

More likely consulted chatgpt, both for relationship advice and divorce papers

I wonder how many relationships AI has already ruined

Seems being the operative word here

I think she's good at seeming

Site size doesn't matter; prosecution of the actual people who are associated with it still occurs.

There is practically zero risk for users of lemmy instances, but those who host the instance are identifiable through domain registration, hosting or similar.

I don't blame the admins for acting in self interest - ultimately they're putting in the effort and wear the risk.

If you don't agree with it you're welcome to host your own instance - with blackjack and hookers etc.

Hold on, think this one through.

The admins aren't worried about jury nullification per se. They're worried about what regulatory authority can do - shut down the instance, hold admins personally accountable etc - if the instance is classified as a media source + has content which could influence a jury.

This is no different from the advice given to other media outlets globally.

Maybe spin it this way. If the very act of having articles celebrating his actions on lemmy.world means his defense is compromised would you be OK with that?

Vendee global is amazing! I feel like it's the closest thing to a pure "all rounder" sailing - solo sailors, robust and well-engineered boats that are just smashing it every condition and loving ayvoace as well. I'm subscribed to their updates on YouTube.

So as to the madness of the americas cup - if you look at the sails they each have two wide counter coloured bands on them. when doing boat testing they use upwards facing LIDAR on both sides of the boat to calculate the best sail shape, live, and adjust accordingly. I feel a bit odd about that, I think trimming is one of the fine arts of sailing and to see it automated out is a bit sad. But if you're doing 45 knots on foils, I guess the fewer jobs the better.

let them ask on the safety and confidential internet

Can't tell if you're being facetious or not.

I found it deeply uncomfortable that there's people who take the direction of an online community and base their real life actions upon it. making choices about their relationships, marriages, csaeeere, health and so on.

For every grain of truth or solid perspective given there are 10 which are pointless or unproductive and ar least a couple which were wrong or dangerous.

None of this is real, its tiny snapshots in a moment of time, stripped of all context but preserved.

Hey did you follow the americas cup this year?

What did you think of the wingsails / twin skins / no boom configuration?
