The most fucked up episode of robot wars so far.

A few instances are ideologically driven. So lemmy.world and lemm.ee tend to be pretty straightforward instances politically slightly left of centre but there are others like lemmy.ml and hexbear that push Kremlin/CCP propaganda. Anyone can set up an instance and federate with the other instances. But instances can also de-federate with specific instances. For example most instances have de-federated from hexbear and threads so posts made to them won't show up for users who use lemmy.world for example.

It's like Reddit, but not owned by a large faceless corporation intent on using it for social engineering. That being said, if you disagree with the political ideology of some instances they'll give you a ban for racism and not qualify it. Eg don't talk badly about Russia or Palestine on lemmy.ml posts. Generally, be nice and people will reciprocate. Except lemmy.ml.

Because Russia doesn't go after strategic targets. Only civilians and because (at least in Europe) the vast majority of people fucking hate Russia. Especially countries that share a border with them or used to be part of the soviet union. Nobody hates Russia more than Russians who have managed to get out though. I had a russian colleague who basically gave up on seeing his family until after the war was over and he has no intention of ever living there after.

Because whatever causes it, it's a difference in synaptic connectivity that can't be medicated or trained away. The only effective way to remove autism from society is removing autists from society and that's exactly what rfk jr wants to do.

Maybe he should kill himself.

The only part of Finland I've been to is kilpisjärvi, which exists entirely for Norwegians to go and drive snowmobiles and drink. So I really can't say. Norway is essentially pretty but boring. Plenty to do if all you want to do is hike, ski and drink.

Imagine if everyone just took a shit on the lawn.

Fuck all most likely. You'd have to have an extremely steady hand and do it as the plane was landing. But the pupil of a pilots eyeball is an extremely small target.

 

So my three year old has, since she was little, been really into jumping. I try to warn her that she could seriously injure herself, but this hasn't happened yet so she doesn't think I'm serious. But she jumps over and off anything. Sisters bunk bed to the armchair 2 meters away? No problem. Bunk bed to the floor? Sticks the landing every time. I swear my partner must have cheated on me with a f##king spider monkey.

How do I convince her to not do the jumps that could break her ankle if she lands wrong? I'm not getting through to her. I'm happy she is physically active, but she's taking the piss.
