For those that didn’t see the rest of this tweet, Frankie Hawkes is in fact a dog. A pretty cute dog, for what it’s worth.

I imagine we all have different use cases, my idea of Lemmy succeeding may not be your idea.

That being said, as a replacement for Reddit, where I can scroll through the top say 50 posts once or twice a day, it absolutely fits the bill.

Engagement is much better for me here, I imagine due to the smaller size of the community, that lends itself to their being much less useless garbage comments and much more constructive or informative discussion.

The above being said, I do wish there were more people here.

Well shit.

In that case, keep posting!

Well written.

I fear there are many on Lemmy that don’t truly grasp the gravity of the current geopolitical climate, and despite you laying it out here with ease, people will disagree with your assessment.

Keep writing like this, we need as many doses of reality as we can muster in amongst the genocide apologists and arm chair experts.

16 is old enough to have taxable income alongside other things in the UK.

Israel isn’t targeting non-combatants

How many thousands of children have been slaughtered by Israeli troops?

If you want to be pedantic, and you’re talking only about this specific attack, children were killed in these pager/walkie-talkie blasts too. Are they enemy combatants to you?

Don’t be a genocide apologist.

Five years ago, if you had asked me if Israel would be committing terrorist attacks across Palestine, Lebanon and beyond, I would have said absolutely not.

I would have been wrong, even back then, but jesus fucking christ, what an absolute shambles.

How my government supports this state-sponsored terrorism is beyond me.

Nobody.live

Lets you find Twitch streams with no viewers, with support for category filtering, it’s a pretty interesting site.

Secretly?

Shit, I’m from the UK and I don’t know a single person here that doesn’t already know that the Conservatives in the US are infested with russian mouth pieces.

Horribly kept secret if you can even call it one.

Quit smoking a few years back, that was an absolute bitch to do.

Still get the feeling every now and then, only ‘relapsed’ once at a funeral.

Would be real neat if the carrot stopped murdering children though.

Here’s the important part.

Certified transcripts of each day’s proceedings will be posted to the New York State Unified Court System’s press website by the end of the following business day, according to a Monday press release. Transcripts can be expensive and sometimes unavailable, depending on the location or particular court system.

Website mentioned

Hey what are all of the logos there? I know almost all of them but I’m unsure on a few.

I can’t argue with your logic here, and neither can I fault your conclusion. All that being the case, though, what can US voters do in this case?

Not vote? Vote 3rd party? Do you guys even have more than 2 parties over there? Seems like you have even more of a duopoly than we do over here in the UK.

I’ll be real, that situation seems pretty fucked, but I have no idea about US politics really, I’m from Wales.

That being said, our main political parties are essentially in this same state by the looks of things.

Turns out we should have been helping Ukraine against Putin’s fascistic colonialism instead of supporting an entirely separate set of fascists commit genocide in Palestine.

Wild that the answer to young people being exposed to literal genocide and having an opinion about it, isn’t to try and do something about the genocide, but to call it indoctrination and try to ban it.

Make it make sense.

Unfortunately unsurprising. We currently have the perfect breeding ground for mental instability - Record high costs across the board in housing, groceries, utilities and transport. Record low wages in real terms when factoring in inflation. A government that not only doesn’t give a shit about the vast majority of us, but in some cases actively advocates against us.

Anyone would be in a rough position mentally living through this.

Can confirm the Game pass part.

The problem I had with no man’s sky is that a large amount of the out of proportion expectations were a direct result of the developers over promising, rather than consumers just being over hyped.
