  • I have you tagged as a Tankie so I wasn't going to engage, but I figured Id drop a tidbit for your own personal knowledge, in the US our bigger soda bottles (1 liter, 2 liters etc) use, and are referenced, in liters

  • I already tagged him? Or is it not showing for you? Because sometimes mastodon and Lemmy are weird with each others posts lol

  • Gemini in it's current form? No, but it is a fair question to ask for the future

  • they'll confidently think that my grandma is being paid by the CIA or something similar

    Maybe but it'd be good to counter their arguments to others who are watching/reading when they bring up their "sources" I for one would link back to it constantly lol

    But just for having recorded her experience of how it was living under the USSR dictatorship could be worth.

    This was mainly my reasoning, beyond having something to shove in the tankies face, just having that recorded bit of history from someone who lived it would be invaluable to both the general public and for personal sentimental reasons for yourself

  • LMAO, my meme I made a bit back is ever relevant

    "ThEy jUsT DonT wAnT To reAD [Theory]"

  • You should no shit do like a mini video interview with her going over all the BS Tankie USSR talking points

  • Thanks, updated post body with it 👍

  • I'm convinced that "Big Trash Bag" has been lobbying for these kinds of laws lol

    I'm sure they do a little for the climate, but does nothing to tackle the actual big polluters (i.e. big corporations)

  • The literal definition of Tankie is supporting USSR tanks being sent for regime change/suppression of eastern Europe post war.

    Dude, language is constantly changing, word definitions change and words can have multiple definitions. We all know what the historical definition is, but it does not have bearing on the current modern day definition. "Gay" used to mean happy, and it still technically is but it's now a secondary historical definition in the modern day. Same with Tankie.

    That US/NATO has continued its demonic diminishment of Russia after this point, including nazi coups under fake liberal colour revolutions in Georgia and Ukraine, does not make anyone opposed to the stupidity and demonism of empire overreach. You supporting demonic nazis for diminishment of others (and Ukrainian population including nazis) is the problem

    LMAO yes yes poor poor Russia I'm sure Putler is actually a really nice good guy just trying to fight against the evils of the world!!!!

    baseless accusation of calling humans tankies

    Oh but lobbing "shitlib/libtard" or "liberals" as "dehumanizing pejoratives" is ok?

  • I'll have to keep an eye out on my current rewatch, I'm on S5 so far

  • I was swapping kernels like socks in those days lmao

    I miss kernel tweaking and overclocks :(

  • No, "Tankie" has a clear definition and is mostly used correctly around here

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

    Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.

    And that is demonstrated by, known hardcore tankies, .ml admins through censorship and bans of those critical of their favored Authoritarian regimes:

    To general hostility to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

    To their open declaration of support for Russia (direct from dessalines) https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

    To even "concentration camps were just reeducation camps and weren't that bad" https://lemmy.world/post/26985447

  • You're on .world, you're isolated from the worst of the Tankie Triad (Hexbear and Lemmygrad), .ml admins in an effort to avoid larger calls for defederation like with hex and grad, try to do things far more subtlety through mod action or in action (e.g. removing comments and posts critical of their favored Authoritarian regimes but allowing known propaganda outlets from those Regimes to fester and spread)

    Just a few days ago, for example, a users comment was removed and then banned for calling the USSR a Dictatorship and North Korea a monarchy using one of 2 "catch-all" instance rules they use to justify the removal of any speech they don't like (Rule 1 is "officially" no bigotry and Rule 2 is "officially" Be respectful)

    and there's much much much more on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works documented

    The posts "complaining" about the tankies are mostly from users like slrpunk or .ee that don't defederate from the Triad and thus are exposed to it far more often

  • I read it, it's very much just going into more detail on what we've all been saying about tankies this whole time. In fact while reading it a few... infamous ... .ml tankie users popped in my head that fit the description I was reading perfectly LMAO

  • That's a Google Nexus 6 in his hands...I miss the Nexus line :(

  • Where's the Doctors mobile emitter‽‽

  • We need a more diverse browser engine market to keep the web open.

    We definitely do, but it's a tall order considering making a fully functional and daily usable browser engine is one of the most difficult programming projects to under take

    At least we got Ladybird with its brand new from scratch engine coming up though! (In 2028....)
