Some researchers and community leaders suggest Canada’s colonial history and recent discoveries of potential burial sites at former residential schools may have lit the fuse.
One issue is that lemmy is too anonymous and that leads to it not attracting content creators that don’t actually want to be anonymous and want to create a presence.
So what? I find it strange how many people on link aggregators like reddit and lemmy/kbin don't seem to understand the point of a link aggregator. There are plenty of places to go on the internet if you want to create "a presence." But link aggregators aren't it. The closest it gets are novelty accounts and power users.
A lot of reddit's issues trace back to the fact that they stopped being satisfied with being a link aggregator because there isn't much money in it. It's been all downhill ever since they started morphing into a more traditional social media website and trying to attract more content creators by doing things like making userpages their own subreddits and adding half-assed knockoff "features" from more popular social media sites/apps. Lemmy isn't profit driven and therefore doesn't need to parrot reddit's mistakes. There's nothing wrong with link aggregators being link aggregators.
They were local nobody’s showing up to do an underpaid job.
Right? It's not like CNN's sending out Anderson Cooper to cover this bozo's little "campaign" event. It's embarrassing how clueless people on social media are about how the media operates. It'd be hilarious except these same people come to every single damn comment section trying to criticize journalistic practices as if they're experts rather than discussing the actual article.
Sounds like you’re not interested in countering their point, you just want to climb up on a soapbox and rant about “you guys” this and “you guys” that all day. Lemmy is for discussion, you’re looking for a blog.
But seriously this is utter nonsense. His failure to garner any interest isn’t indicative of the citizenry being disengaged. All it tells us is that nobody on the national stage gives a shit about a guy whose only job experience is inheriting the family distillery before serving one term in the house of reps and deciding to launch a long shot presidential primary challenge to get himself some attention.
Maybe, just maybe, this should be a clue that the answer to Trump isn’t a Democratic Trump.
DeSantis, Haley + the rest of the field running “totally serious” campaigns for the republican Presidential nomination are gonna be so mad when they find out Elise Stefanik is trying to side step the audition process like this. Doesn’t she know how much time and money they’ve spent putting on a show for Papa Trump to earn the VP spot?! It’s not fair!
“Today a Republican admitted she plans to help orchestrate another insurrection if Trump loses again in 2024... Now here’s Tom with the weather.” - NBC News, basically
If DeSantis were even remotely serious about his Presidential campaign this wouldn't be the play. Trump being removed from the ballot would not require retaliation and would be good for him. But let's be honest here. He's known he's not running a Presidental campaign for months now. He cratered. The best old puddin' fingers can hope for is somehow getting Trump to pick him for VP.
This is quite possibly the stupidest conspiracy theory I’ll read on the internet all year and we’re only six days in.
For one thing, The Brink was on HBO Max since the service’s launch in 2020 (and before that it was on HBO Now). The show was only removed in August of 2022. And that was because Discovery Network bought HBO and started removing content in order to license shows/movies from their catalog to other services because it’s more profitable. While it's not currently licensed to another streaming service, The Brink (2015) is still available for purchase on The Google Play Store and YouTube.
So no, Joe Biden is not "suppressing" an eight year old show that got cancelled after a single season with at 55% on Rotten Tomatoes. Like most conspiracy theorists, you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about and obviously didn't even bother to do a simple Google search to see where you could watch the show.
Jesus christ, everyone in that story comes across as trashy to me but the kidnapping charge is ridiculous. I don't think you should have any claim to parental rights when you don't know where your 15 year old daughter has been living for months. How about arresting her mom and charging her with neglect/abandonment or whatever relevant law is on the books in Idaho? But hey, Republicans once again prove they don't actually care about protecting kids and this has always been about controlling women.
Hmm.. That or Canada has suddenly developed a thriving Black Metal scene.
