They did not even mention the deaths in Kursk.
Don’t forget to thank NATO for decades of planning to achieve this feat of more forever wars where the working class dies for an increase in quarterly reports on their ROI in exchange for profit and natural resources.
The vast majority of civilian casualties (90%) and damage to educational and healthcare facilities (86%) continued to occur in the Ukraine-controlled territory in July, according to the report.
Okhmatdyt, Ukraine’s largest children’s medical center, was hit during the Russian July 8 missile attack. Two people, including a doctor, were killed there while one hospital building was destroyed and four others damaged.
Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, the U.N. estimates that at least 11,520 civilians have been killed and at least 23,640 injured.

Attraction to disability is a sexualised interest in the appearance, sensation and experience of disability.[1] It may extend from normal human sexuality into a type of sexual fetishism. Sexologically, the pathological end of the attraction tends to be classified as a paraphilia.[2][3] Other researchers have approached it as a form of identity disorder.[4][5][6] The most common interests are towards amputations, prosthesis, and crutches.[1] As a sexual fetish, attraction to disability is known as devotism, and those with the fetish are known as devotees.[1]
Sapiosexuality is a type of sexuality that involves being more attracted by the contents of a person’s mind than by the appearance of their body. To feel sexually attracted to another person, a sapiosexual person must first feel intellectually stimulated. Intelligence is often the first quality a person notices in a potential partner.
The word sapiosexual originated from the Latin root word ‘sapien,’ which means wise, and ‘sexualis,’ which means sexual. Sapiosexual is still a fairly new word, as Merriam-Webster’s first known use of the word was in 2004. According to research, between 1% and 8% of people aged 18 to 35 may be sapiosexuals.
Anyone can identify as sapiosexual, including both heterosexuals and LGBTQIA+ people. This means that people who identify as sapiosexual may be straight, gay, asexual, or another identity.[2]
They are used to the short-term goals of stonks.
The more people there are, the more popular it is with the working class. Instead of being a niche community, you can meet non-tech people that know about Lemmy.
Lemmy is good as is; slow growth is better, IMO.
More like oil and profits!
Another regime change war!
Third times the charm.
No need to care for the working-class deaths happening in all of our proxy wars.
I hope we are ready this time for the mass immigration that happens when wars and civil wars take place.
Let us continue electing people that are for funding the police, that should help.
Maduro claimed 51 percent of the vote, with González earning 44 percent according to the national electoral commission. But González was quick to challenge those results, with his party claiming their exit polls showed the opposition winning as much as 70 percent of the vote. Several countries, including the US, have cast doubt on Maduro’s victory given alleged irregularities, and the fact that international election observers were, in many cases, unable to perform their duties.
Sunday’s results mean Maduro seems headed for a third term in office — something that wasn’t possible before his predecessor and mentor Hugo Chávez amended the constitution in 2009 to remove presidential term limits.
But Maduro seemed to backtrack on his authoritarian tendencies in October 2023, when his government agreed to hold free and competitive elections in exchange for further easing of US sanctions (Chevron has been permitted to operate in Venezuela since 2022).
“If Maduro had both the capacity and the desire to totally shut this thing down, he would have done it by now — so he’s either lacking the will or the capacity,” Will Freeman, a fellow for Latin American studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, told Vox. “My guess is he’s lacking the capacity, there’s some kind of internal politics within Chavismo, some kind of internal constraints keeping him from taking more radical action like banning González or arresting María Corina Machado.”
Maduro’s Chavismo, rather than being practiced as a consistent socialist ideology, is more about understanding the US as interlopers in Venezuelan politics — and the opposition as their proxy. That’s not totally without foundation, given a bizarre 2020 coup attempt that involved Americans and the US’s extremely antagonistic stance towards Maduro, with the Trump administration supporting a rival who declared he was the true president.
But what that response might look like is unclear. The US reimposed sanctions in April, after loosening them last October on the basis of Maduro’s concession to hold elections. And the Biden administration gave up Maduro ally Alex Saab in a prisoner swap deal earlier this year — depriving the US of key leverage.
After Chávez was elected in 1998, poverty decreased due to socialist government programs, but his mismanagement of the oil sector — plus a variety of US sanctions — meant that, over time, there wasn’t enough money to support those programs. Chávez also seriously damaged democratic institutions, yet he was still highly popular among Venezuelans, especially those in the working class. Maduro, once Chávez’s bodyguard, continued and even accelerated Chávez’s authoritarian tendencies, without really being able to uphold the socialist measures that made his predecessor popular. Venezuela’s economy has spiraled particularly since he took office, resulting in a surge of migration out of the country — to neighboring Colombia and to the US.
I agree.
That is a feature from Reddit that I miss as well. There were also 3rd party backups of Reddit, so even if communities, posts, or comments were deleted, you would be able to see what was removed.
Awesome, thanks for informing me and others!
IMO: Anytime you had a question that you wanted to learn about, whether it be shows or science, you could go into your preferred search engine and type reddit and [your question].
A good amount of discussions on the topic would show up and still do.
One day people will use Lemmy as the search engine to look for those discussions, hopefully!
No, but he does appear in my dreams![1]

Edit: added a bit of information below for those interested
A/B testing (also known as split testing or bucket testing) is a methodology for comparing two versions of a webpage or app against each other to determine which one performs better. A/B testing is essentially an experiment where two or more variants of a page are shown to users at random, and statistical analysis is used to determine which variation performs better for a given conversion goal
In an A/B test, you take a webpage or app screen and modify it to create a second version of the same page. This change can be as simple as a single headline, button or be a complete redesign of the page. Then, half of your traffic is shown the original version of the page (known as control or A) and half are shown the modified version of the page (the variation or B).
The following is an A/B testing framework you can use to start running tests:
- Collect data:
- Identify goals:
- Generate test hypothesis:
- Create different variations:
- Run experiment:
- Wait for the test results:
- Analyze results:

They are always testing changes to different groups of people.
Not too sure how that works, but if you wnat the old layout you can add extensions.

Video: why bad activists suck [15:10 | JUN 04 24 | Louis Rossmann] https://youtu.be/cir-gJDcC1o
Summary
- The speaker discusses why algebra does not belong in activism, using the analogy of algebra being confined to a small room in high school.
- Activists unintentionally create algebraic equations in conversations, making listeners feel like they have to solve a problem by working backward.
- People resist change when they feel judged or told what to do, even for a good cause.
- Emotions and reactions play a significant role in activism related to climate change and COVID-19.
- Trying to change people’s minds by shaming them or making them feel like bad people is ineffective.
- Presenting genuine truth and benefits without shaming is more likely to lead to positive outcomes.
- Advocating for the right to repair electronics without shaming individuals for their choices.
- Emphasizing the importance of personal investment in the issue and avoiding making individuals feel like the bad guy.
- Sharing factual information and evidence to encourage people to care about the issue without resorting to shaming tactics.
- Making activism relatable and not making the person you’re talking to feel like the bad guy is crucial.
- People are conditioned to want to believe they are good humans and will believe lies if given the right incentive structure.
- Guiding someone to an idea by showing them the benefits or excitement of repair work is more effective than shaming them.
- Focusing on positive reinforcement rather than negative criticism to gain support for a cause.
- Not framing arguments in a way that makes people feel bad or obligated to agree is important.
- When people feel attacked or forced, they become irrational and resistant to reasoning.
- Presenting options as rights rather than obligations to foster a more positive and open response.
- Encouraging reflection on how to effectively communicate beliefs without alienating others and stressing the value of offering choices for repair rather than imposing mandates.
The duopoly choice is Bernie Sanders, even though he betrayed his movement and the people that helped fund and grow his grassroots campaign.
A non-duopoly choice is a 3rd Party candidate, Jill Stien, Green Party.
It was planned all along!
We have fallen for the propaganda, even when it was in front of our own eyes!
They must have started sowing the seeds, which would result in a new and expanding furry culture for decades!
Are you holding ‘Option’ down when it boots? So as to access the GNU GRUB menu?
