Instances are servers that host communities.

Instances are servers that host user accounts.

Federated instances allow users from one instance to view and post in communities on other (federated) instances. If the instances are defederated there is no connection whatsoever being made between the users and communities.

Now, there are communities that have very strict and often very political moderation policies. Technically only the instance administrator has the power/authority to override communities, but only on the instance they administrate.

This can become an issue, especially when people who get moderated run to the admin demanding to talk with who is in charge. The netKarens get really mad if the admins back up the community, so they'll start these instance crusades demanding defederation and such.

So as a result there are some natural divisions across the major instances based on how the admins tend to back up community rules.

So for a rough examples: .ml communities have zero tolerance for American Liberalism. Lemmy.world allows communities to be heavy handed against criticism of NATO or Israel. Blahaj.zone has zero tolerance for transphobes gatekeeping. My instance, sh.itjust.works, allows for combat footage and communities dedicated to documenting(harassing) the .ml instance, their admins and the lemmy devs (who admin .ml).

The average user need only pay attention to the communities they post in. The instance of the user is mostly irrelevant, nevermind the butthurt individuals who want a worse and fragmented Fediverse.

Someone read the book.

Considering those look like Zeros this looks pretty WW2. Anti-Imperial Japan maybe.

The mixed landing gear bothers me though.

How often the box is cleaned and how often the litter is fully exchanged also can have a big impact. Some cats have zero tolerance for touching 'used' litter.

It may be worth investigating different kinds of litter as well, especially if it appears he doesn't want to touch the litter with his front paws to 'wipe'.

I can't read these runes. Life sense, roll for initiative.

Stevie Deals is everywhere.

Yes, but dollars and ability to make others more dollars.

Tossup between 2 and 5. Forever locked in competition with their strengths and weaknesses perfectly inverted to each other. I used to use 5 for lineart and then shade with 2.

A key derivative of PEs having the right to stamp plans is that certified (stamped) plans are often a requirement or stipulation in all sorts of laws, permits, and settlements. Fraudulently certified plans can unravel all sorts of legal liabilities far beyond the engineer.

Democrats were not super enthusiastic about Harris's moderate conservative campaign

I suspect those still churning on the election results are the same that cheerfully swallowed the genocide pill and then lost.

So, yes. For some it is too hard to believe. It's the easier option than contending with that reality.

Overturning SCOTUS decisions isn't as simple as electing a simple senate majority, you're either wildly misinformed or you're arguing in bad faith.

Are you referring to Dobbs? ...In response to the Obama White House backing off codifying Roe v Wade in his first term?

Howard Dean. The other guy from Vermont.

He was replaced with Tim Kaine.

It didn't really replace anything. It was an attempt to build a useful and beneficial system that would support generations moving forward into the future.

But instead it was mashed to support the current generation by keeping a beneficial and useful healthcare system in the future.

People had voted for and candidates had run on healthcare reform and the head of the DNC was adamant about the Public Option as a minimum. Obama fired him once he was elected.

It wasn't the people being demanding and impatient. It was the panicking oligarchy buying the government back from enacting the will of the people.

Here's an article from 2009 that analyzes this point about the White House during the 111th Congress bit: https://www.politico.com/story/2009/12/what-if-obama-hadnt-ostracized-dean-030752

Obama White House worked against itself on healthcare reform during that time period. Actively. Lieberman was essentially helping the White House's mission.

Some of us who were fighting that fight back then haven't forgotten or willfully pulled the wool over our eyes when the turn happened. Some of us were still pissed about abortion disappearing from legistlative priorities immediately after the election.

More than that the Russian Civil War wasn't even over and Poland was formed by the Central Powers from the crumbling Russian Empire of which Poland had been apart of since the 1870s.

1918-1922 was a period where four empires, German, Austria-Hungary, Russian, and Ottoman all disintegrated. Many within the ashes were left to the whims of the British and the French's geopolitical goals.

I get you. For me after my grandparents passed I realized I wanted to be a grandparent. So I gotta play by some of society's stupid rules to see if I can see that through.

Careerwise: biggest thing for me was jumping into public service and working in local government--in America, no less. Now I work remotely and have a well-compensated union-represented government job with a pension that doesn't require me to do management or have a medical or law degree.

I knew to steer clear of the Fed too, and that's paid off in spades.

All in all though as a former kid and current parent: kids need their cool aunts and uncles, related or not, out there having fun not making them cousins. So there's zero shame in having no rush or desire for trying to strike that balance.

I did a lot of the fun in my teens and twenties, and then realized I wanted a family and was lucky to find a career that fit.

It's definitely a challenge to find a balance though so it can often feel like a trade-in. But if you're honest with yourself it doesn't have to be nor an unwanted change.

Similar. I had a community from 2001 onward where I was variously an admin and a mod over the decades. A lot of us drifted apart from being kids exploring the internet to adults with families and careers.

But mainly the guy that took over the code maintenance became the sole admin in 2018 and he just chased everyone off the site debatebroing with increasingly racist and misogynistic rants. Dude I played games with and talked with online for 20 years started calling me a genocidal enslaver for trying to explain CRT and want solar power in America.

Only if she plays the role of Taft in 1912.

And then Pilsudski went and trusted the French.
