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

Or Australia. If it isn’t something from europe, or a indigenous name, it’s something really imaginative, like Northern Territory, Western Australia, and South Australia

Same in PA, but they get Duquesne right.

A while back YT rejigged it’s algorithm to give weight to channels with small subscriber amounts

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.

They didn’t do that. They were talking about other aspects of the situation that make this preferable to people mowing the fields. You just assumed that, since they didn’t specifically discus methane emissions, they didn’t know about it, or pretended not to. This is weird.

Ones that do not add flavoring with calories, ones seasoned with salt, and some garlic, or herbs, for example, only have 35 calories. White rice cakes are similar to white rice in glycemic index, however they create a lot of bulk, help sate cravings for snack foods, and likely won’t harm you unless you have a predisposition to blood sugar regulation issues. Brown rice cakes are much lower in glycemic index, and have more nutrients. So, if you like the taste go with brown, though white rice cakes are better than the vast majority of foods that can give you a replacement for salty, crunchy, snack foods.

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.

In some places they still make sense. In a place where one can be built relatively close to a number of well off suburbs, while being closer than more urban area commercial districts, malls are still doing alright. The hey day of malls being in every suburb is dead though.

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.

what’s better than hanging out with boys, measuring your things?

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.

it is, without the package, it is $30 a month though. She gets phone service from someone else.

My mom’s is the most basic she can get in her area, and it costs 218 dollars a month.

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.

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.
