Seeing Russia’s columns stalled on the road to Kyiv, General Sergei Shoigu realizes the invasion of Ukraine will not be the three-day war he had dressed for.

Remember when all those boomers were making Facebook posts about how they don’t consent to Facebook doing the things in their terms and conditions?

I spend some time on Lemmy, obviously, but a lot less than I did on Reddit. It’s been great! I’ve been getting outdoors a lot more with daily walks and weekly hikes. I published a short children’s book a few months ago, and now I’m about 15,000 words into the first draft of an adult scifi novel. I didn’t appreciate how much time I was pissing away. Thanks, u/spez!

South Korean (ROK) soldiers were heavily involved in the US-Vietnam war and had a reputation for being effective but brutal. Maybe this is related to that?

Nobody gives a shit about words anymore.

I love it. Is this related to the Mad Max video game? The setting is very similar to the starting area.

I love it so much.

Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.

A nonfunctional one, with a slide that can’t operate.

I don’t believe you’re asking in good faith or would find any reason presented as valid, and I’m not going to play whack-a-mole or engage beyond this reply.

Locality isn’t really relevant in terms of federal constitutionality. Moreover, it’s not wise to demand demonstration of a need to justify a right at the level of an individual. Why do you need to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizures? One could argue that we’d be a lot safer if the cops could shake everyone down and catch the baddies early. Why do you need to be secure against cruel and unusual punishment? One could argue that we’d be a lot safer if there was more gruesome public deterrence. Why do you need to be able to freely speak your mind in public? So on and so forth. Individual need is not the fulcrum.

I get it though, you don’t like this one right in particular, so you’ll want to wiggle about how it’s different or outdated or misapplied as to individuals. I’m going to assume your life is fairly stable and secure, based on your original question. Good for you. But don’t assume everyone has your privilege, and try to appreciate that this is a large nation with a great many ways of life and circumstances that are outside your personal experience.

I hope we all get to keep all of our rights, as they keep us, by virtue of their nature and our nature. As to need, I sure hope you never have to individually assert any of your rights because you have an acute need, but if you do, I hope you still enjoy whichever right you need in that moment and haven’t pissed it away.

Here’s one:

American politics seeping into every damn thing. And to top it off, with a clear bias in one direction. I resent having the feeling like there’s an astro-turfing effort going on, even when I agree with whatever stance is being pushed. Reddit is really tainted with that sort of thing.

Hopefully it doesn’t take hold here, or at least stays contained so I can decline subbing to magazines that would pertain. I’d rather not have to swim in the “political party A is evil and political party B is angelic” muck in unrelated magazines.

That looks pretty good. I’ve been enjoying Inoreader for a little while, but I might have to take TOR around the block.
