Sure but I’m still gonna laugh while they piss on each other

What a crazy self destruction they imposed on themselves. Shame for the honest workers over there

Tankie instance

That would be when they banned porn in 2018.

lol

Average in the context of wealthy industrialized nations, but globally not even close to median. I went with median over average as well because there are far more impoverished people globally than there are wealthy, and on the other end the wealthy are often wealth hoarding at an insane rate. Median values help minimize the impact of extreme outliers

The current value for a kg of gold is just over 93,000 USD which is comparable to the median wealth of people living in the Republic of Ireland (median wealth of $95,872). It essentially puts you in the top 25 wealthiest nations in the world as far as I can tell

They were going to defend you for as long as doing so remained profitable.

Beehaw defederated from LW, not the other way around IIRC

I thought this was because he’s still pissy they cut him out, but I guess his reasons can be multifaceted

I trust in the power of people to self-organize, self-regulate, and self-police.

Isn’t someone deciding they don’t like an instance’s content and blocking it themselves exactly what you’re describing?

I should have been in there, but my eyes were just too glued on the belting I was witnessing. It’s definitely a bummer that a lot of non-tech or news communities aren’t there yet in terms of participation, but at least we’re not making some Rich assholes even more rich on here!

Pretty sure the US can wait this out longer than the Kremlin can. I don’t see the US sending donkeys

It’s my opinion. I know the Republican policies towards Gaza are worse. I waited 4.5 hours in line to vote for Kamala but I am still pissed at them for not going after Bibi harder. Israel killed US citizens when they bombed clearly marked World Central Kitchen cars and the Biden administration just kept sending arms.

Push for what? I didn’t mention any specific policy point

“Donald Trump, hero of Ukraine” would be a pretty big ego stroke, I’d venture.

This kind of feels like a loaded question, but yeah, I’d prefer it be more progressive. I’d like for Nancy and the other old guard to accept that they’ve got to move out of the way for the next generation to take the helm. Instead she blocked the new blood from higher committee positions. The attacks on her insider trading stick for a reason. I wish the same ones didn’t bounce off republicans but they’re clearly scott free of any accountability from their voting base, unlike the left which is constantly infighting.

If they really wanted to do something, they should supply Taurus missiles to Ukraine

While I don’t disagree, I feel like we need to talk more about how disconnected the Democratic Party is from what their base actually wants. Them being diet republicans ain’t cutting it
