Honestly Putin / Russia is going to be victorious. The only way to prevent that is direct Western intervention and that shouldn't happen as it would escalate.
Better to lose a country to Russia than the world for everyone.
Honestly a lot of it right now is the American election cycle, coupled with external cultural manipulation by bad actors abroad influencing social media, and making LGBT issues an affront to traditional cultural values ( like Russian networks framing Russia as a bastion of traditional social familial roles ). A lot of the culture war is amplifying existing tension on LGBT and 'woke' and turning it up to 11.
It's because people don't understand that Lemmy.World specifically serves as a Reddit replacement, but other communities don't serve this purpose.
It demonstrates the misunderstanding that Lemmy.World is Lemmy.
I had the same opinion. It's absolutely moderation that reduces the amount of acceptable opinion and behavior. I can't even have good faith discussions on controversial topics on multiple platforms because I am vaguely aware of what is considered the 'right' opinion.
A truly liberal mindset and healthy community would allow controversial opinions, but classic liberalism is demonized now in favor of absolutist values for conduct and morality.
So here's what happens. When a person says a controversial thing and they're banned, silenced, or shadow banned it reduces the amount of incidence for the offending opinion in that community, people who see the ban with the same opinion that want to participate in the community are left with choosing silence ( giving the impression that opinion was not common ) or additionally defending the person actioned against, which then also risks their removal from that community.
It's really that simple. Moderation in my opinion should only go after the real problematic illegal stuff, but we shouldn't be moderating out the actual good faith opinions that people have.
Honestly I think more roads, and more cars are a large part of this. Cars go faster now ( legal speed limits increased in many areas several times in last several decades ) and it's literally more dangerous to play in the road now.
Serious answer: it's a Magic the Gathering card that has recently hit meme status, but I don't know why.
Old Hero. Despite him being blind and supposedly easy, he instantly kills me when I enter the boss area.
Demon's Souls
Isn't this more accurately understood as Mohammad son of Algorithm?
Uhm, how is this fundamentally different from a crystal radio? I've built this exact concept from a science kit, and this is a concept that's been proven for decades.
Honestly you should post this to my Lemmy server.
They can fly? I know they have wings, but I've never seen one fly, I assumed they were evolutionarily vestigial.
I have a similar story, but I attribute it to Vyvanse and external hormones. I couldn't visualize anything, meaningfully or not throughout my twenties, but gained the ability again ( had it as a kid ) later on.
