Lemmy, how would you feel about a law that bans radio stations from playing commercials with honking/beeping/siren noises in them?

  • Yeah, but this isn't one of them. The answers it's going to get this time around are the same answers we got last time around and will probably get next time around.

  • I don't know, how do you feel about pandering for upvotes on a website that doesn't have karma?

    • So... are Lemmy users also generally crypto supporters?

  • The technology has potential but right now it's mainly being used either to buy illicit goods or separate fools from money.

    Lemmy is free to use. If you give money to an instance owner, at least you know it's a donation and that you'll never get it back.

    • So where are we all supposed to go now?

  • Ah yes, this outside I've heard so much about

    • ISW's analysis of Wagner's (halted) advance on Moscow

    Jump

  • The whole operation does have an air of incompetence around it. Either coup or don't coup, don't half-ass it. The guy seems like a loose cannon, and I'm surprised that they're essentially going to let him go. Maybe they're just happy to have him out of the way.

    I'd argue that's how you know the CIA wasn't involved. They're better at coups than this.

    • why does Reddit want us to use the official app so badly?

    Jump

  • Money. Not only can they better monetize it, it makes their numbers look better for the potential IPO.

    • Finding an instance that blocks least and is least blocked

  • They're just generally annoying. They're tankies, constantly praising Putin and the CCP.

    • Should we abandon the idea that cancer is something to ‘fight’?

  • I feel like we've seen a lot of violence twinged rhetoric slowly worm it's way into the main stream. "So-so SLAMS, UTTERLY DESTROYS other so-so in new interview."

    • US's Blinken says no to any Ukraine peace deal that doesn't include total Russian withdrawal

    Jump

  • I initially joined lemmy about 2 years ago, and the place was swamped with them. They have their own instance they hide out on, which lemmy.ml federates with but beehaw.org and sopuli.xyz do not. It will be interesting to see how the lemmy landscape evolves as time passes on.

  • Ha, the local tankies are starting to find out that they're outnumbered by reddit-fuges. Still, I believe that barring a negotiated peace, the war will continue for many, many years. The alternatives are either Russian withdraw and/or regime change or Ukrainian collapse, and neither seem likely in the near future. Even Kissinger, which is as blood-thirsty as they come, has suggested a negotiated peace, and it's hard to imagine a negotiation that doesn't concede something to Russia. The question isn't a moral one. The deaths will continue to pile up until negotiation begins.
