I was chatting with a stock photographer a while back. Apparently the most important thing is the tags that you give the photos. The best ones are abstract because you aren't competing with "hand" and "pen". If you can make your photo of a hand holding a pen fit "wistful" or "trenchant" then you have a better chance of it being seen. Making thousands of weird photos like a hammer/screwdriver/wand being held over a watermelon/plastic duck/brick by a clown/policeman/nurse and giving them abstract tags is the way to go.

How about a compromise - lisence?

Better than getting worse more quickly, which is what was happening.

Not everyone can be as hard as you. And it's a joke.

What the world really needs right now is another narcissistic dictator.

Short answer: no proportional representation. Long answer: lack of proportional representation. If you are going to have voting, at least let people vote for the candidate they want rather than the least worst option.

Loads of things superconduct below 10K - aluminium for one. This is for a different type of superconductor that can be turned on and off with a magnetic field.

The UK was generally accepting of trans people (other than the occasional bigots), but in the past decade there has been a steady increase in transphobia, mainly pushed by the print media and our pathetic government. They see it as a "wedge issue" and are using it to distract from the appalling job they have done in running the country. It's working too. I have talked to people who should know better, who think they have "genuine concerns" about trans people in sports, prisons and toilets.

It's quite depressing how easily it's done really.

Why do so many right wing arseholes look like freaks?

I'm old enough to remember when the roads were fixed as routine maintenance, rather than using infrastructure money for a quick bodge just before an election.

IT got worse as soon as I joined. Probably just a coincidence.

A Reddit alternative is going to end up like Reddit. Kbin/Lemmy are not like Reddit, and that's a good thing.
