(2) The US has sales tax which is VAT in a trenchcoat.

(3) The US dumps its corn below cost and saturates foreign markets due to massive corn subsidies.

(6) Try buying a toilet that uses more than 1.6 gallons per flush in the US. Oh wait, you can’t, it’s banned.

(8) US companies have transshipped Chinese goods ever since Trump’s 2018 trade war

And actually in some places prarieland is probably more important for conservation.

In my case it was plant a couple of native fruit trees for me, dig a small perrenial pond and add some rocks so amphibians can feel safe, and sprinkle in seeds for native grasses, especially edible ones and let nature do it’s work. It was probably my favourite. Loved it.

Shame I don’t live there anymore.

This is one of those things that everyone understands. Like “nauseous” may not be accepted as English by some upper class conservatives in charge of writing dictionaries, but to the rest of us it’s understood and frequently used.

A language is a tool to communicate, not a bunch of rules.

It’s this same grammar nazi logic that leads to dialects spoken by middle class and rich white people to be the “correct” one while those spoken by black people and lower class white people are seen as “incorrect”.

Pea cheese, just what I need

I don’t agree with this particular usecase. Because I’ve personally experienced, people who shun “negativity” meaning they just completely ignore people’s suffering which often adds a devastating layer of invisibility to oppression. But probably hopefully this isn’t your case and it’s more about “doom and gloom” than people’s reality of suffering.

But anyways, I do agree that blocklists are probably a feature that lemmy needs.

I think it’s also easy to misinterpret something on one post. A lot of times something that looked bigoted or dodgy opinion was just poorly done sarcasm or something.

There is a voyager frontend on web. But I think it’s only a mobile view https://vger.app/posts/lemm.ee/all

Also, voyager lets you tag users which is a godsend.

If I notice someone who is unnecessarily rude, dodgy opinions, bigoted or something, I add a tag, and if I see it is constant repetitive behaviour, I’ll block them.

Lemmy,blahaj,zone is run by Ada, who is a woman

Yup. That’s what happens when we hand over all the power to a few people.

We get excited when those priviledged people, who are literally the ones who oppress us, make choices that helps us a little.

Okay. I see what happened lol. Someone who is instance banned from my instance first posted it on this community. Then someone crossposted to another community. Since the OP was instance banned, for me the crosspost read as the OP, and then I crossposted it to the community it was originally posted in 😭.

(This is the ugly side of federation).

You are literally linking to the post I crossposted.

Do some lemmy clients not distinguish crossposts?

Edit: I’m wrong, see comments below.

I dunno my guy.

Honestly they should probably do like 2-3 potential pictures side by side so readers are aware of the uncertainty.

WarThunder forums has the highest experts apparently

“I wanted people to see the absurdity of this law in practice,” Rheintgen told The Associated Press. “If I’m a criminal, it’s going to be so hard for me to live a normal life, all because I washed my hands. Like, that’s so insane.”

She’s an absolute legend. Thank you to her for her activism.

What? I’m guessing Taiwan isn’t a real country. People in Hong Kong didn’t have right to self determination.

The bulletts in fired on the Indian border were fake news?

Trump is speedrunning to aim for the lowest biodiversity index in North America.

Maybe if we stop ridiculously subisidising corn everywhere, some that gets thrown away because we have way too much, we could replace a couple dozen sq km of corn fields with more sustainable agroforestry, and thereby massively increase our logging output, instead of yk, cutting down the last wildlife sanctuaries? Not holding my breath tho.

I love this.

I think it’s important to say this doesn’t mean pretending you like or agree with something you don’t like or agree with.

But when you do see something you like, agree with, or appreciate, drop a compliment. Compliments make places better!

Thanks for copypasting. It should be criminal to share a clickbait non-descriptive headline without atleast copying a couple paragraphs for context.
