The ones that created the government had to actually fight for their freedom. People became complacent afterwards, and seem to think that freedom is a given.

It reminds me of some quote “freedom isn’t owned, it’s rented, and rent is due everyday.”

Oops, my bad. Thanks. It’s been corrected.

Federated social media is decentralized, so one single jackass can’t control it completely.

Like, maybe Elon Musk buys pawb.social, he now controls pawb.social & can be a tyrant in pawb.social just like he has been with Twitter.

He still can’t control quokk.au, or lemmy.world, or feddit.org, or lemmy.ca, or lemmy.dbzer0.com, or lemmy.blahaj.zone, etc.

And in the extremely unlikely event that if Elon does manage to buy pawb.social, it is extremely likely that many lemmy servers would just defederate from pawb.social & leave pawb.social isolated from the rest of the fediverse.

Or good

Yes, the first humans on the Americas showed up around 10-25 thousand years ago. But the first immigrants, by definition, would have been the first humans to show up after the First Humans to show up.

The first humans in the Americas would be what we call native or indigenous Americans today, but the first immigrants to the Americas, according to our history, would be the first Europeans to come here.

Puritans, and that’s who the pilgrims were.

Respect. But we don’t know each other, ok?

Definitely think that’s SOME men, but I’ve usually wanted to make sure my partners had as good a time as I could’ve provided, at the given time of sexual engagement. I’m not that unique.

And that smell you’re mentioning is the GOOD vagina smell. I know exactly what you mean, and it’s HOT AS FUCK.

The unclean version of that smell? Not so much…

Well radio was originally mostly about advertising, and when TV came around it was just gonna be radio but with moving pictures! So yeah, it was about spreading more advertisements around to more people.

Yeah, I don’t think that the brand is insanely popular because of her hate. Like, most people don’t care about her or even hear anything about her anymore. It’s just about Harry Potter, because that’s what it’s always been about. I almost feel like the discussion about her is bot farms creating that discussion.

I can get behind being in spite of her & other wealthy elites but I can’t abandon what my time with those books meant to me despite of her spite. So, y’all can guillotine her, I’ll still keep the books. But it really is the case that when I hear about her it’s because of these kinds of posts nowadays.

I think all the attention y’all give to her is what’s keeping this in the cultural spotlight. I basically never think about her, or the books, until I see posts like these on the internet. We gotta separate the art from the artist.

This isn’t normal?

Humans evolved from animals that walked on the ground, on the part of the hand/foot we would call fingers/toes. Like most animals btw (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitigrade?wprov=sfti1).

Then the those animals transitioned into arboreal creatures, which evolved hands in order to climb & live in trees. These animals would’ve had hands & feet like monkeys.

Then those arboreal animals transitioned back into walking animals that didn’t climb as much, which turned their feet into something more like chimp/gorilla feet.

Then those animals began walking upright, which changed their feet to lose the ability to grasp since they no longer climbed as much. This is what gave humans the feet we have now.

Why is SMS bad as a 2FA? And what would be a better alternative?

Genuinely asking because I don’t know

I wasn’t talking about the kidneys that time, more generally about others deciding who dies

Is there a Best of Lemmy community? Cause this belongs there.

Being social is being social. While I do think we’re not rats, lol, I do think we are both bound by the same laws of social dynamics. That’s why I’m seeing the similarities.

No, I think whenever it’s up to someone else, without my permission, it’s always bad.

Edit: as in I’d rather not have someone else choose when I die. That’s between me & physics or god or the universe or something that isn’t some other person.
