You're right, I misread it thinking they chased them to Belgium.

Oh I didn't make this, this is a direct screenshot.

Belgians have been waffle stomping for a long time.

Boys I got a live one for this from Google's resident AI genius

Particularly interesting is that the Prussians would then try to chase down the balloons even over international borders.

Edit: disregard, California doesn't tax lottery winnings on the State level

If you think giving Bezos money to fly a flag is praxis and boycotting isn't, I don't really know what to tell you.

I'm sure we have some competent silk screeners here in lemmyland.

The fun thing about wildcat strikes though is that you don't need legal protections for them to work. See new York's illegal prison strike for a good recent example.

Boycott Amazon. Thiel sold his PayPal shares so he shouldn't have a significant stake in eBay anymore so I don't know if they're worth boycotting.

It's just compete idiocy though. The government is what grants them their property rights. They're literally engineering their own demise.

The introduction of a new Postal Act in 2024 opened up the letter market to competition from private firms and mail is no longer exempted from VAT, resulting in higher postage costs.

"When a letter costs 29 Danish krone (£3.35; $4.20) there will be fewer letters," PostNord Denmark's Managing Director, Kim Pedersen, told local media.

What a mystery as to why nobody is using the letter service.

This would be a great reply if you didn't call him a dunce which will likely get your comment deleted.

There are lurkers but many of the active commenters are frankly just more active in voting and commenting. Lemmy has much more engagement than Reddit for commenters because it's a small community and the way comments are default sorted. You don't need to make a comment early to end up on the top of the thread. You just need to get about two up votes and it'll put you at the top. If what you said is worthwhile then you'll get a lot more after that

Edit: one of the benefits of this is it encourages high quality late comments. On Reddit those would largely get ignored, but here engagement like that is encouraged.

Untrue. Reddit employees doing what their bosses tell them to are justifiably afraid of the blowback. Reminds me of the directive to not wear Reddit branding with the 3rd party app thing These folks don't want targets on their back.

So what's the cathulhu chant? Me'wglui mrow'nyanfh Cathulhu R'eow meowgah'nagl fhtagn coughs up a hairball?

Be nice if these sort of things linked to a committee that actually proposed a strategy.

It's a very mutable word due to it's metaphorical nature. It's certainly not set in stone.

The correct approach is the stoic one: there's neither something wrong nor something right.
