In most other countries outside the US they are forced to be honest. It’s still an idealised version, but you wouldn’t be able to get away with showing double meat in Europe.

Apparently “free speech” means Elon is free to ban journalists who publish things he doesn’t like.

Nah I’ve seen him interviewed on news channels a couple times since then. Not a full on sit down face to face long format interview, but still a solo on-air appearance.

The main one I’m thinking of was when Taylor Swift said something nice about him, the reporter told him first in the middle of the interview.

the Democratic vice presidential nominee’s first solo on-air conversation since becoming Kamala Harris’ running mate.

Pretty sure he’s had plenty of solo conversations before this.

Honestly, if they can’t even get the basics right in the first paragraph I’m not going to continue reading.

Except that the UK taxed all its locally produced coal so much that it was cheaper to import more dirty coal from China than use fresh, relatively clean coal excavated from Wales. If a power station wanted to use Chinese coal, they only had to pay import duty. But if they wanted to use cleaner Welsh coal they had to pay taxes on the extraction, refinement and then the same export tax they levied everywhere else. Welsh coal was some of the highest quality in the world, but it was exported and more toxic stuff burned locally because that was more profitable.

Thanks, yet another reason why my example was a bit off hah.

If the US only awarded actual damages like most of the rest of the world, instead of inflated punitive damages, then this would pretty much be a non-issue. Rightsholders in the US see targeting copyright infringement as a source of income, not a necessary indemnity.

I said you came in to correct me but didn’t actually deliver any corrections. You just talked about the things you know.

I didn’t say the same thing you said, I provided the correction that you left out.

I mean, you are trying to be pedantic lol but it’s justified in this instance.

No one’s getting banned here lol. Also deaddit happened because of admin, lemmy still has every opportunity to pack up shop and create new communities (with blackjack and hookers).

Yeah pretty much.

I mean I’d just draw back to three things:

• Ben Gvir was closely involved in the Israeli far right group that assassinated the Israeli Prime Minister in the 90s.
• Netanyahu previously said that people should give Hamas money, as this would be the best way for Israel to take control of Gaza and the West Bank (and apparently now their eyes are on Lebanon next).
• For some reason Netanyahu left a skeleton crew on the border, sacrificing guards in the towers, relying on an early warning system with an obvious single point of failure (sole reliance on the cellphone network), on the 50th anniversary of the last Yom Kippur war. Anyone with half a brain would realise that such a calendar date is a time for heightened security, not relaxed. And this is the man who campaigned for office on his ability to provide security for Israel.

The Nazis didn’t have prisoner release on the negotiating table. I’m not saying Hamas’ terms were right, but the IDF hardly exhausted all options, or even most options, before they went “oh boy here I go killing again”.

Also, the IDF previously killed hostages that were topless waiving white, such is their bloodlust.

They did, and then the lemm.ee dev came to their rescue to tell them how they should have set things up (like he did) :D

And these days it’s trivially easy to move accounts between instances.

I dunno, allegedly people actually vote for a man named “Trump”.

We can also safely assume they had a very happy life until hammas decided to kidnap them on OCT 7.

Absolutely. However they were kept alive until recently. What happened recently? Israel stepped up its assault. This is a strong correlation.

Does the IDF expect Hamas to just hand over hostages when they come in? If Israel were sincere about their desire to rescue hostages they would be acting differently.

Aside from him lying to you and breaking your boundaries, he’s quite clearly on a phase where he’s trying harder and harder things. Trying weed and mushrooms in Amsterdam is one thing, but more than likely he was doing those before and went there on a drug holiday. Taking LSD the way he is probably isn’t healthy either, but escalating to meth is another thing entirely.

He’s not going to get better on his current track, no matter what you do. You need to cut him lose before he cheats on you with a meth head (if he isn’t already, we’ve already established he’s a liar).

Hexbear is fine until you openly disagree with them. When you do that you get banned for vexatious reasons.

Hexbear is also an oxymoron in itself, supporting Putin’s Russia while also claiming to support LGBTQ+ rights. Frankly, it’s a bit of a honeypot.

lemm.ee is lovely, meanwhile :D Federated with almost everyone, no bullshit, and an admin developer who knows his stuff and supported other instance admins when the shit hit their fans (meanwhile his instance was already immune).

Also, Estonia gained its liberation from the Soviet Union literally by singing.

So we can reasonably assume they were alive until the IDF ramped things up in both Gaza and the West Bank.

Lol lemmy.world is a u/spez run reddit wannabe, apparently. There doesn’t seem to be much real integrity there.

I feel like most of the mods on c/vegan understand that, which is why their accounts are with other instances.

However, going to hexbear and .ml are probably mistakes. That’s a step down from .world, there are better instances out there. Hint hint.

Because of enshittification lol
