I think it’s just less talked about because it seems to be going on so far from most English speaking places.

I’m not super familiar on any details, but of course there is a wiki for Buddism and Violence and there is plenty of current day stuff going on.

People are always going to eventually act their worst when enough refuse to back down on their personal beliefs, no matter their religion, or lack thereof for that matter. It’s sad seeing all the discrimination in the comments.

Hah, I figure I do bother some people with my block of posts, but 1) I put all my posts up and breakfast so people have all day to ask me questions and I have all my down time at work to answer them so you get quick replies before you forget you even asked something, and 2) if seeing 3-5 owl photos is a row is that big a deal, congrats on having no real problems! 😜

I really do feel that way I do it is an advantage for anyone who develops a real interest in the content. It works for me in a way that it isn’t a burden to do it every day, and you get my mostly undivided attention to reply to you.

Cobra chicken is a new one to me! Very fitting. 🤣

No, he knows Myanmar exists, he’s been sending people back there to be tortured and killed.

I don’t know if I need this, as I felt everything was done pretty well as it was in 0 and Kiwami 2, but since all the characters and actors are so good with these roles, I definitely want to see it.

I’d be a bit annoyed if this isn’t eventually a free patch to the PlayStation, and I don’t know if I’d pay for it, but having this a Nintendo exclusive permanently seems an odd decision.

Guys like Felder have been really repulsive to me as it seems to be a regular occurrence anymore. Running as a Democrat and then flipping Republican after the election. With local elections being so small and such little info on candidates typically available, it’s a real slap in the face of every citizen.

I just voted in my state’s primary yesterday, and most candidates I could barely find what their political affiliation is, as we can only vote for our registered party’s candidates, but people can file to be on both tickets. Most people aren’t going to be doing even that much research, which is also a huge issue.

Sutton’s website has very little actual info on him. The vague statements on his policies page reads centrist-republican, but accepting of green energy. I hope he can make positive changes to his district though.

Oh wow. I had no clue there were so many that inexpensive now. Thank you!

Huh… I watched a basic review on it and that seems somewhat intriguing. It looked faster than expected, decent basic features, and he says parts availability is good. I may have to put this on the wishlist… Thanks for the tip!

I check periodically, but I don’t see anything within an hour of me. It’s a shame, as I’m in the more populated part of my state, between the biggest and third biggest cities and I read about these places and feel I’d really enjoy them.

I have a milk frother for example, that burned out its stupidly non resetting thermal fuse because it got put on the base, something bumped the start button with nothing in and it burnt out. I’d love to have someone show me how to locate that bit and replace it, but I dunno where to go for that.

Same with the 3D printer. I can afford one, but at this stage of life I’d rather someone give me a hands on run through and give me some of their wisdom from experience than me playing around and getting frustrated until I get it right.

Thank you! I’ll have to keep that in mind! It seems like a thing that would be useful to have access to. There are always little things where I think it would be cool if the local library or hardware store had a printer for things that don’t seem like they’d be worth shipping but nice to have like pen refill adapters for instance.

That was my first thought, but it seems easier to run a few thousand more off the assembly line and make the original part than I’d think to have at least one person develop an adequate 3D part for an items that wasn’t originally designed to be 3D printed.

Even for a relatively simple item like the trimmer guard shown, as someone who used those on their whole head for many years, they need to have decent rigidity coming from a number of angles so it cuts evenly, so someone needs to design a decent print, find what types of stock provide the right durability, flex, etc.

So it’s doesn’t sound that free for them or quick, but it’s much cheaper than distribution for a bunch of random parts that may never get used.

I’m curious to see long term effects if this catches on. Will more original parts be made with 3D printing if they need to design prints anyway?

The big downside is even if this were available, I don’t have a printer. I don’t know anyone with one. I don’t know where I could go to (?) rent time on one. So to me at the moment, this is as useful to me as no available replacement part! 😅

Glad you enjoy all the different owls!

I did join up with the local rehab center this year. After promoting it every day, it didn’t feel right if I did not participate directly myself. Last year I also had another commenter tell me the community got them to join their rehab center, so we’re making a small positive change in the world.

I’ve been learning a lot there and get to see many adorable animals up close. Here is our newest owl patient:

The spearfishing minigame in Y6 was way more fun than I’d expected it to be!

My whole family played the heck out of Super Black Bass! Probably the best fishing I’ve ever had in a game.

I’m always interested in these situations where Trump is caught in the middle of 2 actual rich/powerful people to see where his position will land.

I feel dirty given the source being NY Post, but it’s the biggest coverage I can find on this, and the sucking up to Trump I feel is the best context given his fairly reliable vanity leading him to who he likes or not. It offers a look at the other side of OP’s article.

Los Angeles-based Leonid Smirnov, who fled Soviet communism in the 1970s, says he’s in a race against time to save Glavprodukt — the Campbell’s of Russia — which he founded in 1999 and built into a household name in his homeland.

“What’s happening with my company is a raid under a government seizure and confiscation attempt,” he told The Post.

And if it can happen to him, he said in a warning to Trump, it can happen to any of hundreds of US-owned companies operating in Russia, after President Vladimir Putin set his sights on foreign businesses after the invasion of Ukraine.

About a dozen companies have been put under “temporary management” in the past three years. Smirnov’s Glavprodukt was the first American-owned company to be targeted, and is famous across the motherland for its canned soups, vegetables, fish, and meat.

With the FTC being the only agency with any independence left at the end of this week when the regulation oversight executive order goes in effect, the current regime is still hesitant to outright screw with American money, at least for big time businesses and investors.

Since then, he said, the Moscow-based company — which employed 1,000 workers across three factories — had begun taking losses for the first time. Overall, he estimates the company has lost as much as 30 percent of its value.

“We basically have this company being destroyed on a daily basis,” said Smirnov.

He supplied partially obscured photos of himself to The Post, saying he now fears for his and his family’s safety.

Two weeks ago, a court ordered the seizure of cash and assets connected to Glavprodukt. Russian prosecutors claimed he had been illegally sending dividends from the business to the U.S.

It was all part of a pressure campaign, said Smirnov, to force him to sell at a knock-down price.

“I put 26 years of my life into that … building this company from scratch,” said Smirnov.

How does one run an oligarchy if the oligarchs don’t maintain faith in you?

Just a note, I’m not pro anyone in this story. I want Ukraine to get their country back (all of it) and for anyone who may have broken the law to see justice. I’m mainly here to ponder the ways this will make Trump enjoy his position as “peace broker” miserable as he needs to weasel between 2 groups he really really wants to like him, but he can only please one or none of them.

Glad to help!

They’re not deportations because the people being sent there are not from there.

Bukele, the Salvadorian ruler, is a fellow authoritarian, and told Marco Rubio he would disappear whoever they wanted for cash.

Guantanamo Bay is US territory, and our government would be responsible for what happens to these people, but by sending them to a cooperative 3rd party country, Trump and company have declared their hands clean of what happens to anyone sent there after that, and as they are out of US territory, we have no means to ever get any of them back.

They are now talking about sending people born in the US there if they are “bad enough.”

Here is a pretty short article that gives you some more specifics if you want.

If you’ve ever spoken out against the government in writing/online, are part of a labor union, or any kind of minority or LGBT or care about anyone that is, you should get up to speed on this quickly.

But if the US asks for Europe to consider American opinions, wouldn’t that in itself be diversity?! Paradoxical! 🤔

I do look to have made it to your feed now! It deleted my 3 posts that were photos with short blurbs and kept my news article that is mostly text.

We rarely get the meme type posts, but if your setup is looking at anything like text:photo ratio, that could be doing it.

I have most meme communities block myself, so I understand how overtaking they can be to a feed. 😁

I’m interested in what you’re doing because I am interested in news and politics, but it would be nice to get rid of most of the garbage US news and the dupe posts, and let a better variety of news come in. I’ve gone to keyword blocking, but while I have “Trump” blocked, I’d still like to see things from other countries about their responses to his actions., for example.

I was curious what would happen to the ratio of political posts, specifically Trump/Elon, to other communities, but it feels >= the amount as All on lemmy.world.

None of my superb owls look to have made it through, but I didn’t see them removed in the mod log. We’re a pretty large community, so I’d have thought some would have gotten through. I don’t recall if I saw stuff from any of the animal comms.
