Some dingbat that occasionally builds neat stuff without breaking others. The person running this public-but-not-promoted instance because reasons.

  • The goal, if the old fool can be said to have one, isn't to have a consistent and coherent policy but to present as being dominating on all topics.

    Command of the military and police by having big parades and deploying troops in domestic spaces.

    Control of money with import taxes and gifts to friendly fellow moneyed people at his sole whim.

    Control of people's movement, who stays and goes with their ICE gestapo acting with impunity.

    Control of morality, dehumanizing the LGBTQ+ community and deeming anyone not fitting their vision of 'normal' as being undeserving of support.

    You know, totally not the strongman/dictator/fascist thing...

  • RFK Jr accused of ‘reckless disregard for science and the truth’ in Senate hearing

  • I can't imagine how you could have predicted that, with the history as an anti-vax nut and the hearings for his confirmation and whatnot...

  • Will Lemmy instances be forced to verify users' ages identities?

    Jump

  • I really don't see that happening. The internet and the real people that build it tend to be innovative tinkerers and hackers. Things get built because there's a need and someone tries to say they can't. P2P, darknets, proxies, VPNs, heck the whole concept of the fediverse defies the idea of control by an external entity. So they may try, but the chances are slim it works.

  • It's been observed that the porn industry is often one of the first adapters of new media tech before they become commonplace, but I'm not sure some things need to be shown in that high a resolution.

  • Trump accuses Xi of conspiring against the U.S. with Putin and Kim

    Jump

  • This is one accusation he actually could feasibly back upsince he's probably on the signal chat where they plan it.

  • ...of things already known and public while keeping the rest locked away.

    Just another distracting smokescreen.

  • US judge blocks Trump administration's use of troops in L.A.

    Jump

  • I guess I would take it being a US judge as a given. Not that this admin listens to our judges anyhow, bit I expect one from another country would hold even less sway.

  • Immortals must be riddled with cancer thanks to gene errors in their dna replication.

    Jump

  • Maybe, but immortality also tends to come with things like extraordinary capabilities for self repair and by extension disease resistance, so maybe they get some sort of error correcting code in their DNA replication to go with it.

  • That's an impressive drop. Any ideas why?

    Jump

  • It happens, the 'did I miss a cue' can be brutal if it keeps replaying. Only real answer I know is being content with your own self and if someone also happens to fall into that same space all the better. People get so inundated with images of what's 'possible' which a good chunk of it's enhanced with selective posting and filters, so we get some unrealistic view of what a normal happy life is supposed to be.

    As for the sending pics, shitty people aren't worth the brain space to stress over, you dodged a bullet there.

  • Missouri's GOP governor calls special session to redraw congressional districts

    Jump

  • So it really has come to blatant "fuck you we're not pretending to play by any rules of courtesy and custom anymore", and yet it goes on largely unopposed.

    Decorum is dead, by most reports I see the left outnumber the right by a sizable margin, stop playing nice.

  • What does it feel like to be an admin of a lemmy instance?

    Jump

  • Like any other account you occasionally need to update software and settings for. Then again I'm guessing you meant someone running an instance with more than just themselves using it.
