What they really mean is: Polite to them, the people with the means of easily inflicting deadly violence upon others.

Gun ownership is just another expression of the deep selfishness ingrained in American culture.

The cruelty is the point.

Most of the Koopa kids were named after musicians

• Wendy O. Williams from the Plasmatics
• Iggy Pop from Iggy Pop & The Stooges
• Roy Orbison, the songwriter and rock & roll legend
• Lemmy Kilmister from Motörhead
• Ludwig van Beethoven, obviously

In a way, Crysis. There's a reason the "But does it run Crysis?" meme exists. Because most computers could barely run it on release. It was way ahead of its time technologically.

We continue to inch closer to full-blown corporatocracy. We've all watched and read enough cyberpunk to see where that leads.

We’re just like the big commercial social media sites then. Sweet success!

This guy Albon seems pretty good. Definitely outperforming that Williams. RB should give him a shot!

Really though. While Norris had a good weekend I don't think Perez is a worse driver than him. Verstappen is just a legend. In the league of Hamilton and Alonso who, when they gel with the car, can work magic and leave their teammates in the dust.

You're right of course, but there's tons of individual features which can be worked on in relative isolation. The devs need help with moderation tools, performance, frontend, etc. With 200+ open issues I'm sure more developers making proactive pull requests can make a difference.

Beehaw only defederated from Lemmy.world because of the currently limited moderation tools in the software. This is not going to be a problem forever.

I hope people can find communities both on large instances (Beehaw, Lemmy.world) as well on as very small niche instances. Discoverability is a bit a problem but I think over time we will find communities we like, and participate in them. What instance they are hosted on is not all that important.

Mastodon really has top tier moderation and federation controls. Unfortunately Lemmy was very niche before the recent surge in users, so the project never got the attention it needed to get these tools ready for the current surge in activity.

I haven't noticed at all, because I follow communities on lemmy.ml and beehaw.org from my own instance. I had this experience when Mastodon.social kept going down during major Twitter exodus phases. Federation is awesome.
