Pretty sure i get the rest of it, but not sure I get the dog whistle behind 13 January. What’s the deal with that?

Doing a side-by-side, I realize they look pretty different, but def thought this was a Map of Roshar at first.

Yeah, I’m glad most stopped.

I like to share excerpts from Lemmy with my incredibly right-wing family (hopefully to chip away at their staunch beliefs) and its SOOO much easier to share articles/comments when I don’t need to re-write them to exclude all Drumpf mentions. (Those mentions of course cause the person I’m trying to influence to immediately shut down and not read the rest of what I said)

True, but not much of a shower thought?

I think it depends on when you look back from.

I think of WWI, the Inter-War period, and WWII as three separate periods of time and they cover about 40 years.

I think of The Louisiana Purchase (1803), the start of the Monroe Doctrine (1823), and the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) as all happening about the same time, despite covering about 45 years (before double checking just now, I could’ve sworn the Mexican-American War was in the 1830’s, and that Monroe was president in ~1816, which only drives the point home more).

I doubt we’ll feel the difference by 2100, but between 2200 and 2300 is when I expect that blending to happen.

Hmmm, feels like I’ve seen this one before

So I know there’s some drama with lemmy.world and lemmy.ml. I’m passingly familiar with the .ml stuff (that they have a large and vocal population of tankies and red-fash types), but what’s the deal with lemmy.world?

Lolwut?

I deleted my Facebook some years ago, and so don’t have the means to double check this. Is this for real?

Interesting to hear.

I’m super pumped for the project, but am largely waiting to get properly set up with it until there’s a good app and I can on-board the friends and family all in one go. Really hoping to get them all off TikTok/YT Shorts/Reels/whatever corporate and nation run projects the kids are using these days.

Oh, is loops going to be run as a totally separate service?

I’m not well educated on their project (nor on activity pub beyond a surface level understanding), but it was my understanding that is was going to be run as a sub-service of pixelfed. Don’t suppose you can point to any resources on that topic?

Moderately certain this is already happening, as evidenced by loops showing up so often in my “all” tab. If I understand correctly (and for the love of all that is good, someone please correct me if I’m wrong), Loops is “hosted” via pixelfed.

Other than the obvious typo on the top chart, this is really interesting information.

Neat data, but it seems like starting the coloring at 40% is really high.

I’m curious what this would look like if they counted counties with 25% and above degree requirements.

The trees can’t be harmed
If the Lorax is armed

Yeah, but thats only after China invaded.

Welp, I think the detectives know who to DM when we see a rise of murders in “a few months”

Wait, you mean that terrible kerning is on an official card?

NTA. Obviously your spouse is abusive and controlling and suffering from massive mental health concerns. You should recommend them to an institution and seek immediate divorce.

And your friends are showing ALL the red flags of toxic positivity. Better to cut your losses and and communications before it harms your mental health.

Just listen to the internet people. You fit in here better anyway.

Lmao, thanks for saving me a click.
