I'm from Norway and I immediately thought, "Well, Toten, maybe?" — though I personally hadn't heard any incest jokes about that place.

So I looked up "Norges Alabama", and the first result was a song by that title, about Toten, whose first line and refrain translates as, "I'm going out to ride, ride my cousin".

...So I guess I've heard incest jokes about Toten now.

Adolf Hitler? Socialist.

Franklin Roosevelt? Socialist.

Joseph Stalin? Dare I say, he was a downright pinko!

The entirety of WWII was just leftist infighting over Trotskyist revisionism. Just a big ol' non-binary fuss over intercontinental ballistic tweets. Wake up, sheeple!

Votes for "keep" far outnumber votes for "delete". The discussion is mainly about whether to keep the article as-is or to rename it to something like "Yaroslav Hunka affair", which would include a biography.

Of all the things you can criticize Wikipedia for, this honestly just isn't one of them.

My friend, you're on the fediverse and saying that a single website would be the best way to achieve this. I think that decentralization such as federation or peer-to-peer would be a much better way to achieve a pirate's utopia, because the decentralized approach guarantees that even if one part falls, the whole will remain.

That aside, if I can talk about "What other features would make the ideal file sharing site?" — for a pirate video streaming site in particular, my number one feature would easily be community-contributed subtitles. In the list of subtitle tracks, each track would have two checkboxes, one for text and the other for TTS (this would be used for audio description and makeshift voice-over dubs). For rarer languages without reliable TTS, users would be encouraged to submit voice recordings, which might be anonymized with AI to sound like the TTS voice.

Subtitling would be done with a danmaku-esque system, so that people can choose to contribute just a few pieces here and there and wait for other contributors or continue later, rather than just one person needing to subtitle everything. Users might be able to rate subtitle tracks based on quality and completeness, too. A system of upvotes and downvotes on individual subtitles, as well as both manual and automated moderation, would prevent abuse.

What I'll never be able to understand is why people seem to think that stuff like this is going to convince anybody to change their views on... well, anything, really.

All of this stuff is stuff that we've heard repeated ad nauseam in school, in educational video cassette children's cartoons, in political commentary on TV and in print editorials, in public speeches by government officials, in conversations with people we know, and so forth. Belief in the separation of powers and checks-and-balances being effective as implemented in a liberal democracy, is such an ingrained part of mainstream understanding of politics literally since early childhood, that anyone who believes to the contrary must necessarily already be familiar with the arguments for it, and have rejected them.

I bet this person drinks skim milk too lmao

Beautifully said my friend

I just want a picture of a got dang hot dog

"Boot brain" as in a fondness for licking boots due to a lifetime of propaganda...?

On the left it says something like "Soviet authority will only last two weeks!" and then on the right it says "15 YEARS - the USSR is finally established on the path to socialism"

It isn't really cursive Cyrillic so much as just italic Cyrillic. I struggled with reading italics for a good while too, but eventually you get the hang of it.

Edit: Oh and the heads on the left are labeled "monarchist", "cadet", "eser", and "menshevik".

I see, you're absolutely right about that, beautifully said.

What does "brutal" mean in this context?

Me coming home from a half price books in Minnesota with a blu-ray of the anime version of And Yet the Town Moves, plus a Norwegian textbook for Romanians with a Norwegian-Romanian translation dictionary to boot, some gender studies books and leftist theory, something that I'm 99% sure was written by a cult leader, and Because Internet by Gretchen McCulloch

Edit: Oh shit I'm realizing this article is LITERALLY about that same Half Price Books I went to! Whaaat!

There is a browser extension for desktop Firefox called Mullem which allows for following Lemmy communities, and combining them into feeds called "mullems", similar to multireddits, entirely using local storage. I couldn't get this extension to work, though -- whenever I'd attempt to view a community through Mullem, it just tells me "File not found - Firefox can’t find the file at moz-extension://[bla bla bla bla]/sidebar/[community URL]".

If that doesn't happen to you, or you can figure out what causes this bug, then that might be your answer.

You personally don't consider it to be CSAM, but the legal systems of Algeria, Benin, Cameroon, DRC, Djibouti, Egypt, Eswatini, Gabon, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Morocco, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, South Africa, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia, Seychelles, Botswana, Ethiopia, Azerbaijan, Brunei, Cambodia, China (incl.

Don't really care about your feelings.

Also, Comfysnug has not removed its exception to loli characters, like your original post claims.
