That’s not money so it’s inconceivable to foreign relations pundits.

I just meander without purpose, going whichever way feels good. The unaimed arrow never misses.

What an idiot. Didn’t even pretend to be remorseful and turned the court into some performative BS to no one’s benefit but the people she’s against.

“The side that stays within its fortifications is beaten”

Napoleon Bonaparte

Not only do you need to strike at the enemy’s territories and hold it to win, you need to threaten to keep it if you want to restore your original borders. Going to the peace table with enemy cities your pocket is a classic way to negotiate for your own land back. The more Russian land the Ukranians take, the more likely we will see a restoration of old borders.

“They’re all…”

All credibility lost.

That’s anecdotal, not data.

That’s how I roll too.

This looks like a ham-fisted corporate propaganda pic, so yes.

Internet moderation needs to be performed dispassionately. It’s administration, not leadership. But still, it appeals to power-tripping, self important assholes who have no interest in curating a functional community but instead ensuring everyone thinks and acts exactly like they do. The larger lemmy gets, the more of these awful moderators make up the moderation team. There is no mechanism in place to prevent this. I don’t even know how such sa mechanism would work, but as soon as one is figured out, the Internet will be a better place.

The Wandering Village?

The Last Kingdom. Better than Vikings.

Mrs. Maisel is one of the funniest shows I’ve seen.

A Dutch one I got from my Oma: “It’s as if the angels upon my tongue have pissed”. It means “yum”.

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying you don’t need to be an asshole to disagree. You don’t need to “tear down” beliefs and “not play nice”. Being rude to people for being wrong just makes them dig deeper into being wrong out of defensiveness. It isn’t about edification, it’s about finding an excuse to be mean.

That said, other people’s education is not my responsibility. Taking the time and energy required to correct a random stranger about what shape the earth is isn’t going to change the world but it will take a toll on me. Being wrong doesn’t make them a bad person. Being a jerk to them for believing so does. Believing in a flat earth a symptom of fundamentally flawed reasoning skills that I don’t have the time or energy to deal with. If someone believes the earth is flat, I’ll politely disagree and state my opinion, but ultimately I’ll let them do them. Who cares. I choose my friends, they won’t make the cut.

So you’re an asshole, using religion as an excuse to berate and bully people, got it.

The Spectres

The vibraphone wants a word. Lionel Hampton is spinning in his grave.
