Alright mini rant here because reasons but

The US just can't accept that WADA, which receives more funding from the US than from any other country in the world, isn't biased towards Americans.

It quite literally is though I think the best example of this is currently Wesley Kitts who was popped with methylhexaneamine, basically amphetimes, and got caught. Now they say 'Well he didn't want to compete and did those drugs recreationally so we will only allow a suspension for one month' which went from July 3 to August 3, weightlifting competition starts on the 10th which is really really really opportune timing. Now before you bring anything up let me again say this:

He got popped for a competition that was mandatory for qualification for the olympics. He weighed in. He really wanted to compete and got popped. And even if he didn't attempt to stimulants like this provide more blood to skeletal muscle which in turn helps build muscle mass and this drug can and has been used to mask other performance-enhancing drugs.

The USA is getting special treatment but they are not getting enough special treatment it seems. Like they pulled this shit for a weightlifter that the last time around came 8th in his weightclass. Absolutely embarrassing show at the very least by the US weightlifting team but watching commentary on swimming, tennis and the newest 'boxing scandal' the USA should be heavily penalized but they won't.

Not to worry intelligence services and police already were monitoring the communications and even infiltrated left-wing extremist groups like Last Generation known terrorists that do extreme things like marches and protests.

Like you already know this but the germans were already doing this against left wing groups. This isn't because germans have a problem with Nazis it's because AfD is soft on Russia and China like they've been Nazis for as long as they've been around but it's only recently become a problem so now they acknowledge something everyone knew for literal decades.

 

First time on the map, was incidentally on the domination map which meant couldn't really expand and on year 6 I was attacked and crushed.

 

lemmy.ml is terribly moderated - how and where do you settle this?

I'm not quite sure how I best encourage this discussion - so I'll ask this here. I am somewhat shocked, how /c/[email protected] is moderated. Large parts of the instance are in my view in tankie-territory like lemmygrad or hexbear, so much so that I find it borderline unaccaptable.

I question myself, how something like this could have consequences. Feddit has blocked both lemmygrad as well as Hexbear, lemmy.ml is several times larger and in many parts not problematic. Would that instance be blocked users would be unable to access a lot of content.

I ask myself, how do you settle this in the Fediverse, especially when it comes to larger instances. If the admins on feddit find the mods on lemmy.ml problematic, which avenues could they pursue to pressure them without defederating.

Other titles I thought about:

Feddit.de not beating the nazi instance allegations

Lemmy.ml welcome to the resistance

Also the incident that caused this very reasonable and very normal fedditor to get not mad at all

In a just society all those people that force these workers to work those hours, wrecking their health like for example they'll be exponentially more likely to suffer strokes and more severe ones at that, would be thrown in jail, holy shit what a misery that is put upon these people and for what? So some financial ghoul can shift some numbers from one pile to another and maybe buy a new jetski. It makes my blood boil how people are abused up for literally miniscule amounts of additional profit at this point, they are just grinding up the stone to get that last droplet of blood out of it.

 

he-admit-it and just to be clear

Today is the first day of fall so here it is.

It's here the Fediverse FallJam.

You want to learn a game engine that isn't unity? Are you a beginner and want to get your feet wet or finally get one project done? Making pixel/voxel art for the first time? Go for it, learn and grow!

Unlike most gamejams this one is much longer because we have more than a few people that don't have as much free time as they'd like.

Just gently remind the player that it is a game, if they insist tell them that a Chimpanzee has a STR of 14 and since most fighters would have that or well above instead of doing the ole 'have at thee' they'd could just grapple them and crush their windpipe, if you have some ogre they realistically would just grab the wizard and pop them like a waterballoon but obviously no one does this because it's boring and makes for a bad game.

Germany is not alright and Bavaria is the least alright , nominally leftist parties barely get up to 10% in elections there so yeah was to be expected.

More than likely it's a cost issue, coal is artificially cheap thanks to several countries subsidizing the coal industry like Germany, USA and Australia.

There's also I guess the practical question of how much plant fiber per ton of metallurgical coal is needed, i.e. how land would be dedicated towards 'producing plant fiber' for the steel industry.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Metallurgical coal only makes up for rather small part of coal mining, around 7% of all coal production goes towards it, and while the process produces more GHG than just burning it for power it has a less profound impact because it's just smaller. It's also one of the places where we can't really find an alternative, to produce steel you need to use bitumen coal because they have more carbon and less volatiles than charcoal.

On top of that steel is extremely recyclable meaning that any steel produced can be reused pretty much 1:1 with only a small amount of energy needed.

Yeah this guy is not an anarchist, he's a german green voter that will bring up shit like the teutonic order or germanic tribes and shit which either means he's an actual fash or an unscratched liberal that plays too many Paradox games.

Lol that's not how this works. Saying "We share intelligence" is worlds apart from what you want to imply here, again stop being some weird wannabe OSINT guy, at most Ukranians get satellite images which technically is 'sharing intelligence' but not what you are trying to imply here.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 11 months ago (8 children)

Who is this we? And why are you so sure? I'm not saying you are some guy working for the government I'm just saying you are making shit up and read too much of OSINT twitter so you feel 'in the know'. You don't know what intel is being gathered, if that intel even gets out or not. Like why should the US feel compelled to share with Ukraine? Because they are on the same side? From the few statements they seem more interested in using the war to pay off the MIC similar to Afghanistan and it doesn't seem like any intel was gained over a 20 year period.

If they base it out of NATO territory then they might be able to start them but the F-16 would have to fly from Poland all the way through Ukraine to the front in the east AND back so if they start in Poland for example they wouldn't even be able to reach Kiev. From Romania they'd be able to get to Kherson and Sevastopol. I don't think they can run operations from NATO territory but they might do some 'hopping' aka start in poland fly to a runway closer to the front refuel and take off go back to refuel and then fly back to Poland but that would still put those Jets in danger plus Russia can then just fuck up every runway either in advance or in retaliation, like if the russians see that F-16 are taking off from Poland you just send a missile to each potential runway and they'll have to turn back or you shoot the missile when they are flying back so that the planes get fucked up.

 

The “Kubrick Stare” is one of Stanley Kubrick‘s most recognizable directorial techniques, a method of shot composition where a character stares at the camera with a forward tilt, to convey to the audience that the character in question is at the peak of their derangement.

 

Pretty much title, I also think a good practice would be to limit the amount of non-FOSS programs people are allowed to use
