This would make a ton of sense if your choice of Lemmy instance were not just that; a choice. It’s not a characteristic innate to your being that you’re born with or something.
You can choose to associate with whatever instance you want and swap it up with another account somewhere else if you want at any time (you can prob keep the same username if you want too).
I spent >10 years of my youth playing a sport competitively. I don’t think I ever watched a professional game to completion. Unlike pretty much all my teammates, I just could not have cared less.
Play the sport myself? Fun, sure! Watch someone else play? Uh, why?
I think it’s great that people enjoy watching sports. I dunno why but it just bored the hell out of me.
As of a few years ago at least, most Taiwanese people were in favour of keeping relations as they are and neither expanding nor severing Chinese relations from status quo. They already operate as their own country, so a push towards further separation is mostly only symbolic anyway and they don’t want to provoke China and their current peace for a symbolic gesture. I think that by treating Taiwan as its own country but not identifying it as such, we are acting as most Taiwanese wish.

I really want to downvote this but I can’t bring myself to do it.
You need context from the show to get this meme. This episode is a satire on how women who molest minors are treated differently and how some people are inclined to congratulate the molested instead of seeing them as victims.
It’s not nice, and we need to view the attitude of situations like this being “nice” as messed up. Hence the meme.
Yeah, last point is very true. I can already tell this girl is gonna have a good father regardless if he applies anything from this thread or not, given he cares enough and has the humility to ask.
You’re reminding me of when I was in my teens and discovered 1kg M&Ms bags on Amazon…I bought 3. I wonder how many years off my life that accounts for…
Which Smarties?
Edit: Ah wait…“pure sugar” gives it away. Apologies but that was not the correct answer 🙃
Uh, no. Almost everything you can do for logical security only requires free software. Something as easy as ticking the box “encrypt my drive” and putting in a good password when installing Ubuntu or whatever is about as easy as it gets and is LUKS2 (“actual security”, as far as at-rest data encryption is concerned).
Just want to add that Mullvad DNS may have high latency depending on where you’re browsing from, slowing down your browsing experience. Their public DNS servers are pretty sparse, unlike their VPN servers.
That’s where you guys draw the line? With automated facial recognition vans, CCTV everywhere, among other things, the UK is certainly not a country that comes to mind when I think “civil liberties and privacy”.
I don’t really have anything to add, but thanks for writing this. It’s quite insightful.
It’s not considered worth undertaking such an initiative when most nuclear power plants have no problem just leaving the heavy (solid concrete and steel) casks as they are. They are not some looming threat, and they just sit there, outside, taking up a pretty small amount of space on the plants’ property. Nothing else is done because there is no real incentive to move them; no one cares.
No. But, if they were to I reckon if I’d have the dentist look at them and decide what to do then…rather than rip 'em all out preemptively.
“Donut.”
Oh I will. (─ ‿ ─)
