I have my doubts that China needs Russia for anything other than cheap oil and military weapons designs. With Russia tied up in Ukraine any posturing at this point is kind of a silly drill, IMHO.
Who knows… It could be something bigger later, but not now or for a few years after the Ukraine conflict is over.
This is the root cause analysis we live for.
Insert my original “shrug” emoji here. It’s not a big deal and finding one log with one mods opinion isn’t what I would consider a trend.
Some instance owners have blocked ml and there are are occasional discussions of broader action.
I haven’t fully blocked it yet as there are some neutral communities that are still fun. Anything related to news or politics is on my blocklist, for sure.
I get what you are asking and I am going to avoid the specific topic you were discussing (as much as I can) in the interest of objectivity.
ml tends to be a safe-space for some people who have wildly different opinions than what “many people” tend to believe is true. It automatically sets up a comment that would be “normal” on this instance as “hostile” on another.
Some countries do have diplomatic ties with Hamas and do not consider them a terrorist organization. If I had to guess, that is the reason for the underlying issue. If a person happens to relate with that viewpoint, any comment to the contrary may be considered hostile.
This sounds trite, but the phrase “Read the room” might apply.
By definition, yes*. In reality, it fits a larger consensus and I personally don’t think it’s a big deal.
At the end of the day, mods do what they want. On ml specifically, they tend to have their own distinct narratives they follow and may kick-ban any dissent.
Posting on some ml communities can be interesting if you aren’t up-to-date with the meta.
* You could be unreasonably attached to a belief from the viewpoints of others. It’s subjective.
It’s ml. I was banned from a few communities for calling Putin the new Hitler and I still have no idea what their problem was.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I want to believe!
Or someone slapped their cock on it.
I just used to use vodka to flavor up the tomato juice in the mornings.
it’s an ad
Yay! Marketing!
Different characters pop up for a second or two.
I actually designed a project box for a longboard for someone that wanted to motorize it.
Having never had the motor coordination for a regular skateboard, a longboard looked like an easier option. A few of my friends have them, but I never got the courage to try in front of an audience.
“Thanks, Steve!”
It was something about a NASCAR event where the crowd started shouting “Fuck Biden” and one of the announcers covered by saying it sounded like “Let’s go Brandon”.
Confirmed fixed.
When you powered an old CRT down, the image would collapse to a single horizontal line, and then to a point.
I was thinking you could just cut the power to the deflecting coils.
It would be close to infinite refresh rate as the electron beams wouldn’t need to move. Also, the phosphors in that spot would probably burn away in a few minutes resulting in no refresh rate at all.
Bi men, for men.
