Okay, question to people on Lemmy: What’s the right community for asking questions about Lemmy?
57·22 days ago- Print 1bn in welfare
- Welfare ultimately gets spent into rich folks’ coffers
- Tax that 1bn back out of the rich
- Net cost: zero
What’s “unaffordable” here?
12·1 month agoYall are sayin stuff like “learn about” and “detect” as if they got to just add that to their notes and continue on their day.
Going from “might develop schizophrenia some day” to “inpatient for an episode right now” is a big difference.
Canada should back out of the USMCA and stop respecting US IP
Well, Pakistan isn’t exactly a leader in world peace either…
Which Country Is The Greatest Threat to World Peace?
The US was the overwhelming choice (24% of respondents) for the country that represents the greatest threat to peace in the world today. This was followed by Pakistan (8%), China (6%), North Korea, Israel and Iran (5%). Respondents in Russia (54%), China (49%) and Bosnia (49%) were the most fearful of the US as a threat.
I don’t think blahaj would object to the basic message.
There are the occasional man-hating users, sure. But for the most part, the instance seems to accept the idea that men suffer under patriarchy as well.
Now, when you bring it up in response to women, enbies, etc. suffering under patriarchy… that’s not so great.
So I guess it depends on what community it would be posted to, and how it would be posted.
Given how OP seems to be spamming this in multiple unrelated communities… I can’t imagine they would post it to blahaj tactfully. So… maybe you’re right, lol.
Worth noting that Japan is the #1 foreign holder of US treasuries. More than anything, they want stability. Good sign for the US that they’re holding off on damage control mode.
83·5 months agoIt’s okay, Let’s Encrypt only provides SSL certs for… 63.7% of the market?
Okay okay, that is a lot. But what does a CA need funding for anyway? It doesn’t take much bandwidth to send out new certs.
The only thing that could be expensive is if they had to rapidly invalidate thousands of certs to protect the security of the entire internet.
But haha, that’s a pretty outlandish scenario that would never happen.
They’re “protecting” the women.
I get the premise, it just seems silly. If a foreign company wants to give you steeply-discounted stuff, it seems like you ought to take the cheap stuff and enjoy it rather than worry about being unable to sell the same stuff as cheaply.
Why would you want to reduce imports anyway?
“China is sending us cheap cars! What are we gonna do?!”
Idk man, drive the cars and use the money you saved for something else? Seems like a good deal to me.
Guys, not cool! You don’t do this part publicly. You have each company petition privately.
If Trump likes them, they get an exemption and get to raise prices anyway while going “Hoo boy, those tariffs, huh? Real shame. But what can you do?”
Aaaand he went back on it already.
Doctorow likes to put it as “hitting them right in the dongle”.
Intersex is pretty common. She might know that she falls into that category and doesn’t want to provoke a debate which may go against her.
Buuut we should probably have that debate. The sooner a major athletic org has to admit that a strict gender binary is untenable, the sooner we can bulldoze that talking point from transphobes’ scripts.
