I mean it’s a state election. Even if they gained 100% control of that state’s government they wouldn’t have taken over Germany.

Go for it

He’s free to discuss this article any way that he thinks is interesting. Just because he found it helpful to point out the bias in this case doesn’t obligate him to do it in any other cases. He doesn’t owe you anything.

Also, responding to someone noting the reputation of your source with what amounts to "ARE YOU ACCUSING ME OF BREAKING THE RULES? ARE YOU SAYING CONSERVATIVE LEANING SOURCES ARE ILLEGAL?” is basically the textbook definition of a wildly defensive response lmao.

Can’t agree more. Despite all the gnashing of teeth the railgun still performs great in many situations, it just isn’t a panacea anymore. The “buffs not nerfs” crowd seems to be under the impression that the ideal balance for the game is one where they can reliably win missions at Helldive difficulty. Which is silly since the level below that is literally labeled “impossible”. Why would they create 9 levels of difficulty if the intention was for most players to spend all their time grinding level 9? You think it’s BS that there are so many armored units and the anti armor tools don’t make it easy to handle them? Yeah that’s what “impossible” means. If you were playing on “hard” I doubt you’d have that problem.

They didn’t say you couldn’t appeal a civil case. They said that ineffective counsel can’t be the basis of that appeal.

To oversimplify, it’s a metaphor about what it’s like to go through life relying only on your senses and not using reason to question or analyze the deeper meanings behind your surface impressions. The story goes on to discuss a prisoner who escapes the cave and gets a taste of true reality, that prisoner is meant to represent a philosopher. When the escaped prisoner returns and tells the others of what he’s seen, they reject his claims saying how absurd it would be to believe that there’s anything more than just the shadows. I think in this day and age it’s easy to guess what that interaction represents, but Plato had a particular bone to pick about this since his mentor had essentially been executed for questioning various things.

I don’t think that’s what it’s saying given that “sexual themes” is on this list as well. Seems more like they’re saying “we’re allowing more sexual content if it’s properly labeled, but we’re going to start keeping those labels off the home page, and while we’re at it we’ll take off a bunch of other objectionable content”

The default wallpaper looks so much like testicles photographed from below and I can’t unsee it

The saying never says that you can make 999,999,999.99 honestly. It just says one amount you can make honestly and one amount you can’t. The implication is that the outer limit of what you can make honestly is somewhere in between.

Haha yeah, good point. I guess I should have specified it would be a good post on this community specifically where people look to find handy tips for using Lemmy effectively. The fact that one of the huge instances where a lot of your search results come from when you’re starting out looking for content has such an aggressive pro-totalitarian moderation strategy is an unexpected, but very useful insight.

Holy crap. This should be it’s own post. Just purged all the “serious” communities I was following on there.

It doesn’t seem that way. It seems like at least one person from your instance needs to have interacted with a community on another instance before it’ll be included in partial match search results. If you manually navigate to one of the instances you federate with and look for a very small community there and then go back to your instance and search for some of the words in that community’s name I don’t believe it will come up. But then it you search for the community’s exact fully qualified identifier it should come up and then once you subscribe it should come up if you try the previous search terms again. At least that’s been my experience. As a result, to flesh out my subscriptions I’ve spent time manually browsing to other instances, finding interesting communities in their catalogue and then manually copying the identifier and then tabbing back to my instance to find the community with the identifier and subscribe, which admittedly is far from an ideal experience. Luckily I think there’s a lot that the upcoming client implementations can do to make this discovery process easier.

This is definitely a gap on the main community pages, but in the interim, if you click into an actual post it shows the fully qualified community name at the top. At least that’s what I’m seeing.
