This 80s metal band is making real music without synthesizers!

t new regime. If you want peace, you have to fight peacefully. Yes it’s harder, but it’s the only way. But peaceful doesn’t mean passive (or law abiding)!

Oh sometimes, violence works to build peaceful gouvernments after. In Romania political violence created a functioning democracy. Dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu was executed by the revolutionaries after a 30 minute farce of a trial, but the country is now a democracy for more than 35 years.

Is this elephant you speak of in the room with us?

That is something that some tech savy Lemmy users could already easily do. I repost stuff from all over the web. But some systematic preservation of good old subreddits aught to be automated.

My American friends made me drink Keystone Ice and this was one of the most disgusting things I did ever drink. The rest was also not great. A few American beers were passable but I had better ones in most European countries.

When the sea turns so dark, and a jaw makes its mark,

That’s a moray!

When it hides in a reef, flashing sharp, jagged teeth,

That’s a moray!

The apostles are not completely fine with wealth either. Peter has the story with Hanniah and Sapphira, where god punishes greed and sharing everything in the early Jerusalem Christian community is the norm. Paul at least has a few being responsible with wealth statements like this one: 1 Timothy 6:17-19 17 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 19 In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.

Important context and a good decision

Oh, Sisco does war crimes too!

This is absolutely brilliant. Why does this not exist yet?

Needs a special kind of Captain to commit a war crime due to a traffic conflict.

Both. There is a study by Armin Falk and Nora Szech (2013) that experimentally shows that markets can erode moral behavior, as participants were more likely to not save a mouse’s life for money in market settings. This generally extends to the erosion of morality for monetary gain in market systems. Additionally, psychological research indicates that wealthy, successful individuals often score higher on traits associated with the “dark triad” of personality, i.e. narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy, which supports the idea that selection plays a role as well.

4chan at least had a consistent brand of being the anti-social network and being full of Nazis, weirdos, pedophiles and people who are just anti-social for the lulz. You couldn’t ruin 4chan.

Twitter’s image was being the “internet town-square for serious thinkers” with politicians, scientists, journalists and a small but good measure of standard shitposters. Loosing that brand diminishes it’s value massively. Unfortunately neither Bluesky nor Mastodon was able to catch that clientele yet.

Fine, Free bird it is.

It’s been a long road getting from there to here.

I hate their current abhorrent nationalism and imperialism, but their anthem is kinda great.

It’s the famous “As long as your not Google, Amazon or Apple” licence.
