Piefed was created by the CIA, NSA, and Kissinger’s ghost.

You can tell in the name.

Fed.

I saw someone post below that they’re saying the guy was armed.

Now, it’s hard to tell what’s going on exactly in this video, but it looks like the guy in the grey jacket pulls a weapon from the victim’s waistband before a shot is fired. The man in grey then runs out of frame with what appears to be a gun in his hand.

If that was the victim’s weapon, then it was taken before he was shot and didn’t look like he was reaching for it in the first place.

This might be baseless from me. I just was watching the video over and over to try to get a sense of what happened.

Yeah the basic human rights of BP to have access to Iran’s resources

Get your point but most 4K encodings I see are ~10-20GB.

This is pretty much what I expected from this scum administration.

The real depressing news is in the linked article, where a survey showed only 53% of respondents thought the shooting was unjustified (35% thought it was justified, rest gave no opinion). I don’t understand how you see that video and come away with any other conclusion unless you’re just being actively partisan.

I’ve always been more of a lurker/commenter than a poster, but posters are what Lemmy needs if we want more users to come. People need to want to come to Lemmy for content.

In my experience, the best poster on the platform is the person making the comics on /c/unix_surrealism, in that sometimes I find myself wanting to check the comm to see if there is anything new.

And this will be disagreed with heavily, but the second best posters are the memers at Hexbear. I just think they make the funniest leftist memes (so political content, sorry people who are tired of politics), and they’re the only instance that actually has a site culture, with their own in-jokes and history/lore.

When Reddit was young, that was a big part of it: Posts that went viral among the community and became in-jokes/lore. Comment chains (as much as I grew to hate them). And original ideas for content (AMA, TIL, AITA, etc.). There was a kind of culture to the site (that’s mostly been diluted now).

That said. I like Lemmy perfectly fine at the size it is, even if it doesn’t fully replace Reddit. Though it’s concerning to see it declining.

It’s not a “conversation”, it is evangelism.

A bit ironic from the piefed evangelist.

Most people on Reddit avoid the larger subs like the plague though

This doesn’t really seem to make sense to me.

Is this the new Hasbara talking point being pushed by Israel PR? First that Obama speechwriter says it and now Hillary

What instances block .ml that I’d be upset to miss?

Liberalism has an actual definition. Neoliberalism is a subset of liberalism. Either way, neither position is socialist and both are capitalist. That’s the distinction. That’s always been the distinction. Leftist politics is distinctly anti capitalist.

To leftists, liberalism, even progressive liberalism, can never address the material concerns for workers, inequal accumulation, and capitalism’s contradictions because it cannot attack the central tenet of its ideology: the private ownership of land and resources. And most of the social stuff was being advocated by leftist groups in the west for years before they became popular enough for the mainstream, liberal parties to embrace.

I’m an American. Conflating liberalism with leftism is a media game that has successfully ensured the Overton window does not shift left. It reveals the mass political ignorance here. Of the policies you’ve listed, only H4A is arguably socialist.

You can understand the two party system and make decisions to support certain candidates/policies in an election without identifying as a liberal.

What are these comments? This is a comm for people who like movies? It’s a Safdie movie that by all accounts is at least decent, even if it flirts with “Oscar bait”. Weird to almost revel in its box office failure.

Kinda surprised how long it took to scroll before seeing Ico and SOTC mentioned, tbh.

Crown jewels of PS2, imo. Pushed the medium forward artistically.

Gamepass only ever made sense to people who had time to play or dabble in a sufficiently large amount of games per year and felt the need to play some new titles soon or immediately instead of waiting. Otherwise, eventually your total subscription costs would outpace the total cost to purchase what you played, especially if purchased on sale at a later date. And the value gets worse if you ever replayed a game (s).

I’ll never really understand the excitement about this service. It was always a Trojan horse.

There’s a difference between voters and the party establishment

We were chillin rent free in y’all’s heads

That’s why it’s a called a “reaction”

Like, the money not going to lemmy.ml but a cut going to two of their main admins

You realize that it’s not some smoke show that they’re “two of the main admins” right? That they are the two primary developers and creators of the entire platform and .ml was the initial flagship instance (which they literally directed people away from during the Reddit surge)?

^ the non-toxic instance users, everyone

You’re concern trolling and wrecking in multiple donations threads created to support the platform and the devs who created it. You can just leave and join one of the alternatives instead. Why wait.
