100,000 chanted it at a rally in London last week, not because they’re calling for a Israeli genocide, but because they support Palestinian human rights. Hate speech is against the law here, yet no one was arrested for doing so.

Tbf our racist scumbag of a Home Secretary thinks it’s “widely understood to be antisemitic”. But she really is a terrible human so I don’t count her opinion for much.

London has far far far more parks than those two! They’re not even the biggest in London, Richmond park is at 2500 acres (that’s more than 3x the size of Central Park) It’s where that viral video of the dog chasing deer was taken - JESUS CHRIST, FENTON!! Personally I’ve always preferred St James Park over Hyde or regents if you’re in central London, but it’s a small 50ish acres. Hampstead Heath (800 acres) and bushy park (1099 acres) are similar in size to Central Park too if you’d prefer not to be in central London.

To answer OPs question, I’d much rather live in a city with more parks than I can count than just one massive one somewhere. There’s 5 parks within a 15 minute walk of my house and I live in a city!

EDIT: from Wikipedia: London is made of 40% public green space, including 3,000 parks and totaling 35,000 acres.

I’m in the uk and rescheduled an appointment at a large hospital via text with an automated system a couple of weeks ago. It was great!

Harley street is the most famous place in the country for (private) medical practices. Today there’s thousand of people employed in one type of medical job or another there.

I don’t know man, my sister in law just got made redundant while she and her family were on holiday. They rang her out of the blue while she was abroad to tell her. Who the fuck thinks that’s a good idea?! “Oh hey, you have no job now and just 4 weeks severance. But lemme ruin the last holiday you be able to afford for a long while by telling you now when there absolutely nothing you can do but worry about it”. Someone made that decision instead of waiting just 48 hours. Fuckers.

Maybe people with a brain injury/Alzheimer’s/face blindness/memory problems, if the tech could be integrated with glasses and make real time identifications of people you’ve met previously? But that’s a stretch. Bad people will use it to do bad things long before any good comes of it.

I don’t know who exactly the “we” and “you” are referring to in your comment. But the Irish have been long been supporters of the Palestinian people no doubt due to their experience during the Troubles. I’d say the British people (not necessarily the government) support Palestine too. My brother has been to a number of pro-Palestine marches in the UK before this latest escalation of violence.

Hey, same here! But it’s been 10 years since we had a holiday. I hope you have a wonderful time!

Do you mean porn? There’s a whole instance; lemmyNSFW.

Not a botanist, but my house is a jungle of tropical plants and I’m pretty experienced at propagating plants. Sycamores can be propagated, but not easily and not from the stump. You need soft wood cuttings from the top of the tree and those cuttings need to be taken in spring. Even in the best case scenario, it’s still really hit and miss.

You can propagate plants at this time of year via air layering, but it’s pretty complicated and again the success rate is poor. Most importantly, air layering needs a living tree to work. This tree is essentially dead.

The only thing they might be able to do is get a small young branch to root and plant it back in the same spot. It would technically still be the same tree but it would be a tiny little branch.

!murderedbywords@feddit.uk is going to take a hit.

And it will be £2.99 a month on top of the prime cost to watch without them.

“The brave cave” gives me This is America vibes.

It would have still been awesome with Alice being overtly sexual tbf. But then again people will always find something to complain about.

I add two of mine: !tennis_fans and !wimbledon

Adding my thanks for the suggestion too - avelon looks great! I started with Memmy and I moved on to Voyager and Lemmios. Both are great but both have problems. Loving avelon so far!!

The pile of logs to the left looked so odd I had to zoom. Then I saw the weird filter they used. I’d love to see the original, or something not run through a prism style filter.

I’ve been here since Apollo stopped working and I created some communities I missed from Reddit. I’d never been a mod before but it was really easy to set up and get it going. Like someone else said, post it in !newcommunities when you’ve created it. Post every single day for 2 weeks or more so there’s a decent amount of content. People will come in time, you just have to do the heavy lifting at first. And if you’re really passionate about koalas then it’s not hard work at all. Good luck!

I’m sensing you don’t like going to the office…
