If that was his 5D chess masterplan, why is he currently in panic mode, calling the coalition “unnatural”, painting it far-left, and calling for a fight against “all extremes”?

Likelier he expected the RN to take it, after which they would have 3 years to show their colors, making them less likely to win the 2027 presidential elections. It was a stupid risky move.

Are you telling us this as an example of the kind of things they will tell you at Amazon, or is this something you believe too?

I made a meme about these last 2 FFFs.

I came to this community late, but a timer is basically the common solution. It takes about 23 seconds between a rocket starting to launch and the items appearing in the landing pad.

I don’t think people who downvote you think being an asshole should be illegal. They just think you’re an asshole.

Probably the “Muslims who die get 17 virgins” thing.

Looks like they’re the opposite actually, tankies. Still good riddance.

From their news post about federation:

• One of the few instances they’ll federate with is lemmygrad
• “We do not, as a site, have an official line regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and a wide variety of viewpoints are represented in discussions. This includes many users with varying degrees of support for Russia, which some people may find confusing or objectionable.”
• Highly upvoted comments reacting negatively to the text above because it’s not pro-Russia enough. (“Putin is not a fundamentally evil person”, “it is a decade of diplomatic failure, with Russia trying to do the right thing and getting blamed for it.”)
• “Do not follow the Chapo Rules of Posting, instead try to engage utilizing informed rhetoric with sources to dismantle western propaganda. Posting the western atrocity propaganda and pig poop balls is hilarious but will pretty quickly get you banned and if enough of us do it defederated. Realize that you are a representative of the hexbear instance when you post on other instances.”

Yes

I’m French. Just because France is not as bad as the US doesn’t mean we don’t have a problem. The USA is the lowest bar possible.

Though it did not start with him, Macron’s anti-protest strategy, both with the Gilets Jaunes and ongoing with the retirement protests, is to basically let the police do whatever they want, and then ignore or minimize all police violence, especially via the media currently controlled by French billionaires and thus very pro-government.

Just for the Gilets Jaunes, there were some deaths sure, but also hundreds of head trauma and mutilations. The violence was condemned by Amnesty International, the UN, and the European Council.

It’s actually quite exceptional that, for once, the government is condemning this killing. Probably because it wasn’t related to any anti-government protest.

They are not used to potentially facing consequences:

“Policemen also have the right to be presumed innocent. […] The president’s remarks violate the separation of powers by condemning our colleagues before justice is decided. His first responsibility should be to calm things down, to condemn urban violence, and to not pass laws while affected by emotion.
[The police union] strongly condemns these remarks and completely supports our colleagues wounded during last night.”

Another police union response to this murder:

“Congratulations to the colleagues who fired on a young 17yo criminal. By stopping his vehicle, they protected their lives and those of the other road users. The only ones guilty for the death of this thug are his parents who weren’t fit to educate their son.”

You can also turn into a horse. 🐎

I see, that is concerning.

The Dude seems to be trying to fence sit on extremely vitriolic transphobia and refusing to listen to the trans folks who are trying to warn everyone

That seems to be the consensus but I don’t see where it comes from yet? This latest thing seems to have happened over the course of a day and their last message is 2 days ago.

For the “the donald” thing they appeared after a bit like “hey, catching up on everything, obviously it’s gonna go”. Seems likely the same would happen here? Just feels like a busy regular guy who could use some mods.

Unless there’s some non-public stuff I’m not aware of as a newcomer?

Vancouver has a boardgame pizzeria out of all things: https://www.ludica.ca/

You’d think that handling pizza slices and handling boardgame components at the same time would be a recipe for disaster but it works pretty well somehow. They have a good collection of games and the pizzas are great too.

That’s a bit far-fetched. The name “shit just works” doesn’t have any right-wing connotations. If you google it you get Bethesda memes and some Apple stuff.

I think the admin is just one dude who wasn’t prepared for their instance to become so big. So far they’ve done the right thing given a couple days. Yesterday I saw an “anti vax” community on sh.itjustwor.ks, I reported it, today it’s gone.

Until I see an actual “actually we should debate the Nazis” comment from them or maybe like a week has passed without action I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt.

For me the pinned message doesn’t show up so there’s no overlap.

It was crashing for me on load, but after updating Jerboa today it works again.
