Pretty cool. The emblem is a little complex (but looks cool, so whatever), and the lack of geometry in the blue river is frustrating, but it's overall cool looking.
I know enough (thanks to everyone who kindly replied) to know that everyone in the world save for those directly involved in the court case can safely assume Trump wanted a loan when he a applied for a loan. Sure, it's an important step for the lawyers, but it's so obvious that it's only newsworthy if they couldn't establish it.
The article is a waste of time.
Of course? That's why he was talking the the lenders in the first place. He was trying to get a loan. If he intentionally falsified the information is another question, but of course he was trying to get a loan.
Whoever wrote this is extremely bad at writing articles. The way the language is used is confusing, repetitive, and lacks any sort of logical flow.
That's actually where democracy came from. When guns came along, it became extremely cheap and easy to turn every random peasant into a soldier. This meant that you essentially always had to have the will of the people on your side.
Except the big bang is the start of both space and time, so nothing in the universe could be older than the universe because there's no time to speak of (not to mention the space for it to exist).
The moment after the big bang is called the Planck epoch. I just learned this from Wikipedia "In this stage, the characteristic scale length of the universe was the Planck length, 1.6×10−35 m, and consequently had a temperature of approximately 1032 degrees Celsius. Even the very concept of a particle breaks down in these conditions. A proper understanding of this period awaits the development of a theory of quantum gravity.". I don't really understand this, but it seems the early universe wasn't conducive to particles. Even if it was, they wouldn't be atoms. They'd just be quarks.
All of our physics breaks down at the singularity before the big bang, so assuming quarks that are around today existed then is just that, an assumption.
Photons are an exception (at least, in as much as that they are a particle), and you can make new particls from energy, but definitely there's a limit to how old a particle can be. No particle is older than the universe (as far as the big bang is concerned).
Even ones that actively celebrate rape and murder? Even ones that will oppress women?
Does this even count as a 'progressive' movement if it institutes an intensely religious dictatorship?
That's the biggest barrier to peace then. The whole article's a waste of time without that bit.
Anyone know what Hamas says? Do they say they want peace between them and Israel?
Are you looking for an inoffensive insult?
100% there are enough actions tied to swiping already, adding more just means I do the wrong one every time.
It's possible that Lemmy in general is leftist because the people who came here wanted faster and more effective moderation against hate speech whereas more right wing people didn't have a particularly strong need or desire for moderation.
I don't know if this is exactly the same thing, but just being able to see the local feed on foreign instances would be awesome. ATM I don't think I can even see details on foreign instances.
Except now the pigs encouraged to provide more of whatever he's selling in the future, ensuring you'll always have access. More importantly though, everyone else sees the high return on investment and wants to get in on the action. The pig can try to stop them, but short of government interference (at which point he's not a capitalist) he won't succeed for long.
Eventually they'll compete and offer quality and novel services for reasonable prices. They'll still be making high return on investments, but if you're paying it means that this thing is important, and a high roi ensure its continued production.
The alternative is you're forced to pay through taxes, you only get one option, and there's little to no incentive to provide a quality good or service at all.
To be clear, I don't hold the opinions that I'm talking about, it's just that they seem to be internally consistent and have an identifiable origin.
If you strongly identify with your race or culture, and another race or culture threatens to conflict with, up-end, or destroy it, it makes sense to dislike/distrust that second race or culture. That's what some people could perceive Mexicans or black people to be doing.
I'm sorry if I misjudged, but it does feel weird. The only thing that makes Israel unique (including any human rights violations, everyone does that) is its ties to Judaism. I just don't know what either Isreal or jews did to warrant a meme like this when so many like them never get memes made of them.
I noticed that there were some accounts that were hijacked by the instance owners. All the posts from that user were then edited to say what happened.
This kind of surprised me, I figured instances could delete posts, but not edit them. So how much control do they have?
I assume they can't see my password (hopefully). Can they post in my name? Do they have all the access to my posts to foreign instances that they do over local posts?
Edit: thanks for all the responses everyone! I've wanted my own instance for a while, but maybe I'll get on it now
