Probably Twitter.

Worth noting that’s Hexbear not Lemmy as a whole. Hexbear has a unique culture.

To answer the question, the way you attract openly cis women is create spaces where they are definitely not bullied, trolled, and stalked. The fediverse is young and has relatively few mod tools.

There are plenty of cis women on mastodon as far as I can see.

This. Lemmy.world is probably the most vanilla. I suspect there are probably more cis women on instances like Beehaw as well.

I liked it better before miniclip bought it. There used to be a really fast paced clone called petriedish that was full of Russians, Poles, and Ukrainians, wonder what happened to it.

No, not after we heard what they had to say.

Me “could you please get a job to help pay for catfood?”

Her “nope. I don’t feel like it. I’d rather just move into the bushes and live off rare native birds”.

Skyrim, keep seeing things to harvest. Neighbour grew leeks at one point.

I used to play multiplayer Agar.io a few years ago and got this badly, the game is about circles of various sizes attacking each other and there are circles everywhere irl.

Agreed. At the moment I get most of my history content from following @PugJesus

I agree with you, I just mean it’s hard for us to enforce it when we are being blocked by powers like the US etc.

They are. This is why the deranged idea that being Trans is somehow a “lifestyle choice” doesn’t make any sense. It’s literally life on hard mode.

With Time Cube? I didn’t know that. You’re right, people who get really caught up in conspiracy theories can be vulnerable.

Thanks, fantastic article, nice to get the BBC perspective on this as I wonder sometimes about The Irawaddy’s possibly being a bit optimistic.

I’d be amazed and impressed to see the Psychedelic Furs are playing.

Honestly I’d mostly be upset about people who have died. Bowie. Prince.

George Michael dying of a heart attack on Christmas day was pretty out of left field given that he wrote Last Christmas I Gave You My Heart. I probably would have to see a newspaper to believe it.

A lot of them also seem to refer to earlier forms of 1080 etc. Given the “silent seas” I suspect what this is really about is a sort of folk response to climate change and ecological collapse.

But the rabid activist ones seem to have linked the “Agenda 21” conspiracies, chemtrails etc with 1080. The covid/5G stuff as well, Sue Grey (antivax lawyer) was mixed up with the ban 1080 movement.

Someone should pitch it to Netflix.

It’s unclear to me. As far as I can tell they think the United Nations/Illuminati wants to poison the humans, birds, and mammals and … maybe get rid of farmland? Repurpose New Zealand somehow.

Some of them have physically attacked Department of Conservation staff, sabotaged vehicles, etc. They’re passionate about it.

That I’ve actually encountered irl? The Anti 1080 conspiracy in New Zealand.

Its members do things like go out and kill protected birds themselves and dump them because they think the Department of Conservation’s pest control plan is on behalf of the Illuminati who want to terraform NZ etc.

There’s nothing unhinged about Time Cube. It’s just so obviously true. 4 similtaneous rotations, 4 corner earth days. Circle times square.

Either you need to read it again, or else you’re part of the conspiracy of suppression.

This is the crux of it:

The ICC has 124 state parties, while the United Nations has 193 member states. This disparity makes clear the gap between what the ICC seeks to achieve – namely, universal accountability for international crimes – and what it can practically achieve when it lacks the support of implicated or nonaligned countries.

Your rights end at the point where they infringe on someone else’s rights.

Like, it’s my right to walk where I want but it’s not my right to walk into your house. Because it’s your right to own private property.

Secondly, authoritarianism is not about how many people the law affects. It’s about style of governance.

I think I see what’s happening here. The missing piece of the puzzle is that there are 2 kinds of rights.

“Negative rights” = the right to not have certain things happen to you, aka freedoms. Eg freedom from being assaulted.

“Positive rights” = the right to do/have stuff.

In the case of enslavement, the negative right - to be free from being forced to work, owned, etc is a much more important right than the positive right to own property.
