There is an interesting precursor from the election that made Lincoln president. There were groups of young people forming “Wide-Awake” clubs and demonstrating.

Weird, we tried this a few years back it seems with terrible consequences. Why are we doing this again? Seriously who is starting all of these trade wars?
Oh.
Oh I see.

Once all available land is forested you have completely maxed out this option. Then when a tree dies and falls over most of its carbon begins to be released back into the atmosphere by decomposing organisms so you are reliant on another tree taking its place to maintain status quo. Same for any biological solution (algae dies/eaten -> carbon released).

So much so that here it is codified as a fraction of a person. Very in your face sort of language.
SacralPlexus@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•"tHeY rUiNeD sUpErMaN, mAkInG iT pOlItIcal"17·1 个月前I first noticed this a few years back when I started to see “The Empire Did Nothing Wrong” on bumper stickers. Sure it seemed like a joke at the time but I was confused that so many people thought this was a statement worth putting on their vehicle. I mean, pretty early on in the OT, Darth Vader uses the Death Star to murder an entire planet so surely no one was serious, right?
Whoooo boy have I learned a lot about my neighbors’ values since then.
SacralPlexus@lemmy.worldto Pulse of Truth@infosec.pub•Britain Drops Request That Apple Create a Back DoorEnglish3·1 个月前It’s hard to know. The article is super brief and mostly is rehashing the context of what happened with Britain and Apple up to this point. This is the only paragraph I could find that seemed like actual new events:
Tulsi Gabbard, the U.S. director of national intelligence, said in a social media post on Monday night that Britain had “agreed to drop its mandate for Apple to provide a ‘back door’ that would have enabled access to the protected encrypted data of American citizens and encroached on our civil liberties.”
The article states that Britain will spare Apple from creating a tool to give the government access to cloud data but then the only quote they provide is ambiguous as to whether this is only an exemption for Americans. In the article they state neither Apple nor the UK government commented.
Tl;dr: We don’t know exactly. Might have to find reporting from a better source as this article is super light on facts.
And the post implies that most men do.”
I don’t agree this is the implication. The comic is juxtaposing how men might see a bunch of single women as an opportunity whereas women might see a bunch of single men as a threat. It doesn’t have to be all or even most men in that group for the threat to be real.
Also how is the data not relevant? The data is literally quantifying the problem this comic is addressing: this is a problem that disproportionately victimizes women and the perpetrators are often men, by a large margin. That is literally the basis for why the woman is unsettled whereas the man is relatively carefree.
With a lot of parasites, when they die the tissue around them calcifies (just your body’s response). That’s what we are seeing on the radiograph.

I LOVED Twilight Princess but missed out on Skyward Sword because life got really hectic. Glad I didn’t really miss out from what it sounds like.
SacralPlexus@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What form of entertainment, movie, music, tv, video game etc that you were excited about only after it came out did you realize it was trash?5·1 个月前In general this was my experience as well. There is one important exception for me which was Google Earth. Being able to sit in a chair and drag a huge model of the earth beneath me and view distant places like I was a bird is just magnificent. Doesn’t make me motion sickness the way most games do.

Only exception I make is Edge of Tomorrow which is great. Maybe because his character starts as an entitled ass which feels natural.

Though it occurs to me that she was speaking with an American accent though so I’m not sure of saying she should pronounce it the British way.
Generating images of him with MLK is just so wild. Not sure if this is the product of completely delusional minds or hostile foreign actors.
