This conforms to my own experience. I first got on the "anti cars" train back when I was a lib, and I got on that train precisely because I worked a job in a place where I wasn't allowed to have a car, but there was a bus that took me directly to work in the morning and everything else was walkable/busable and occasionally I would take a price-controlled taxi.
Not having to pay insurance or buy gas, not having to find parking, not having to wait in traffic, being able to read or use my phone during my commute - it's all so nice, I got converted before I had ever heard the word "urbanism" and before anyone had invented the term "fifteen minute city".
Joining the by far largest instance beats the entire purpose.
There's kind of a tension here between Lemmy's design and what makes most people join social media websites. Most people want the biggest, most centralized website.
If a family member gets banned for cheating while playing your copy of a game, you (the game owner) will also be banned in that game. Other family members are not impacted.
Both the Americans and the Soviets went to a jet turbine on their MBT at around the same time, but the Russians decided it wasn't worth it with the next generation and went back to diesel.
It offers a lot of power in a smaller and lighter package than an equivalent diesel engine, but it tells you something about how much of an advantage that really winds up being when the later Abramses all added batteries to shore up the biggest weakness of the turbine engine (large fuel consumption at idle) and the Russians went back to diesel engines with the T-90.
Gambling I guess? Although I count cards so it's not quite the same, but I can't exactly explain to the people around me that I'm an advantage player when I start throwing fistfulls of cash at the dealer...
The Red Army stopped the Holocaust and saved the world from fascism while the western powers were playing with their dicks in Africa. They only invaded France after it became clear that Soviet victory was inevitable in order to prevent Western Europe from being liberated from capitalism.
It's the joke where a CIA agent tells a KGB agent that his country has very good propaganda, but when the KGB agent compliments American propaganda, the CIA agent responds: "You're mistaken, we don't have propaganda in America."
I think that was his own lawyer explaining that the hairstyles protected by the law are all long hair styles, while the rule that the school is punishing him for is one that requires boys to have crew cuts. So the argument is that that rule is in violation of the law.
I live near a few military bases, so enough to overrun the guardhouses and evict all the troops currently inside. I would need like 100,000 clones (one of the bases is pretty big).
Does the power clone any equipment I'm carrying? If yes then I can get a single military uniform and a box of ammo before I start - if not the initial attack will have to be a human wave that captures an armory at least.
Once I'm rolling I will unironically do the "enemy at the gates" thing by having twice as many clones as I have rifles. If the man in front of you dies, clone yourself and pick up his weapon!
As long as Zionism continues to exist, any "solution" will be temporary at best as the Zionist entity builds their case for the next round of expansion. Sucks that China is still sticking to the long-discredited "two state solution" line, but it's not surprising as it's what they've been saying for years.
That sucks. I've found that 90% of stuff works fine in Linux, 5% works if you jury rig it enough, and 5% just straight up doesn't work - and if that last 5% is needed for your job, then you're SOL. For me the few things that don't work are worth giving up because of how much I hate Windows' spyware and adware, and all my work apps work fine in a browser window so I've never had to worry about that.
