Yes, and the fact that they keep finding US police black sites suggest they are also taking notes from the CIA.

yes india is set to take them for all the oil they can, at extremely reduced prices, which isn’t good for russia, but great for india.

A number of whole countries, Brazil is just the most recent.

Yeah, it’s not like Modi benefits from any, relatively recent, past history of violence, used to resolve a problem with another country that invaded them, and took their territory. I can’t help but think I am forgetting about something though.

China has been escalating its practice of economic imperialism for year now. They have been fortifying the waters around the islands they claim, but aren’t under their control. They have been running into more and more economic issues, and are not recovering from them as well as they had been. Given this, I do not for a second believe China will never get into the expansion game.

When I first got on Lemmy I signed up for a small instance my friend was on. Mostly ended up lurking. Before ditching that account, because I forgot the password, and was looking to go to a different instance anyway, I looked up what instances had the most federations. world had a lot, and no hexbear. It also has a old style interface, and blocks NSFW content, so I can more safely browse in public/at work. So I switched to it with my main and then separately logged into places with open NSFW content.

Probably don’t even need that, if they can get some ICBMs to just launch it is probably going to trigger something humanity may not be able to recover from.

This is D&D, don’t know about actual myths. There are female giants, usually, and the ones I can think of where there isn’t, it is because they are all dead. Though you will likely see only male trolls in most D&D media. Dungeons and Dragons online has, at least, one notable exception though, named Lucy.

There are female trolls. Hags are exlusively women.

would you care to elaborate on what you believe should be done about this?

No, China’s current economy is not communist. Nothing to do with Mao, or what I think about communism personally.

I mean, they already did that.

A way I have found to explain federated social media to people, that seems to work is this: Imagine reddit, but instead of one company, with one administration, owning the whole site, it is a bunch of different reddits, that are independently run, that choose which other reddits they wish to associate themselves with. When you log into one instance, you automatically can see, and interact with, all the other ones that one chooses to associate with. You can have accounts on as many instances as you would like, even having accounts on instances that do no associate with each other.

You still don’t get it, they saying aren’t suicide is awesome. So you continue on with your misinterpretation.

It isn’t awesome that her life is so miserable that, even though she has spent decades exhausting all medical treatment options, she still wants to die. What is awesome is that there is a comprehensive and humane way for her to end her suffering that assures this isn’t a rash decision, gives her loved ones a time frame to come to terms with it, and provides a situation where they do not have to deal with the aftermath of doing it herself.

Believe it or not, there are a lot of people out there who’s lives are nothing but pain and suffering. Pain and suffering despite seeking out all possible means to relieve themselves of this pain, and finding that none exist. Pain that isn’t going to end, and not having a life worth living to look forward to. There are also a lot of people out there that have loved these people and realized that, though it hurts them, the suffering the person they love is going through is far worse, and will not get better. Sometimes it is more selfish to demand someone not end their life than it is for them to do so.

You clearly have not actually been in this position, even if you have been suicidal before. Maybe you should admit that you don’t know everything about this, and let people have a humane way to stop their suffering.

Keep in mind, no one actually knows how many people US police kill. If no outside agency, of some sort, is involved, they do not report it. These numbers are based on what were reported and, according to Patrick Lynch - Previous head of the largest police union in the US, “most” police killings never make it to the public. So it is likely that the number is, at least, a little more than twice that. The 1994 crime bill stipulated an obligation for all police killings to be reported, in full, to the federal government. The DOJ has never enforced this rule, and has no plans to ever do so. They think it would be too destructive to police if they had to do this.

The quote from Patrick Lynch was from an industry rag and I can not find any longer. The link I had is now dead. The magazine is called American Police Beat, and you can find it in just about all PD offices, and correctional facilities. Seems they scoured that article. Whether it was done because it was old, and not archived, or because of the bad optics, is not known.

A lot of them already do. Antivax often shares venn diagram with a lot of dietary stuff. Not drinking milk is a big one, along with no gmos, etc.

Yeah, god is straight-up describe in this way “The lord is a jealous and vengeful god. The lord is vengeful and strong in wrath.”

I mean, just take a look at the god they are the children of. Not surprising at all, really.

Yeah, the company is from Ecuador and grinds spices for a lot of brands, not just US brands.
