While I definitely agree, enough momentum going both ways, alongside perhaps people choosing to leave Mastodon and Threads to go to the “winner of the alternatives” could sway this to a point where BlueSky is no longer the minnow here. Given that we’re only weeks detached from Trump’s win, I can only see it getting worse for Twitter, to the point where I can see Elon just selling it and moving on - perhaps even to BlueSky if Jack wanted a cut price deal.
Eh, BlueSky seems to be actually gaining some traction now, enough so that celebs and brands are jumping ship, so maybe just give it a few months and let it rot.
Honestly, the number of lonely people is probably far greater than you can imagine. I remember reading a statistic from a local male suicide prevention group that said a third of all men have no close friends either nearby or at all. Include people with friends that are still feeling lonely, and obviously other genders, and you’re easily looking at most people being lonely.
Many of my close friends moved away for work, and I’ll be doing the same soon. Most of them don’t even know that I have a child now, let alone regularly speak. It’s quite sad really, and it only seems to get worse when you get older.
You’d need to explain how this helps the average person.
Bearing in mind that these employers have hundreds of thousands of people working for them, you would need to somehow ensure that people aren’t voting for a spike in unemployment.
FWIW I don’t disagree at all, but how would this be implemented in practice, and how would it be framed as a good thing for those employed by those companies?
Ah, well if you’ve done or know some grappling you’ll have a great base for BJJ, especially Sambo since there’s a lot of overlap. Even if you just do some drilling or stay on bottom to work escapes you should get enough exercise and social interaction that you might not get elsewhere.
On Lemmy, yeah, probably? A lot of people just seem to be really angry/annoyed at the dumbest shit that doesn’t seem to bother most other people.
True, but if you’re being disingenuous about your own results, you’re not going to be setting the best example to others.
Many other fitness influencers have called him out hard, alongside openly sharing their own relationships with steroids. I don’t know enough to say his advice is right/wrong, but if you can’t be honest about yourself, I can’t trust what you’re selling.
A lot of people favour less government intervention, fiscal responsibility, stronger laws, and strength in the free market. IMO at a base level this isn’t an inherently evil thing to believe/want.
Obviously, most politicians don’t represent this, but for those that do they find the current party doesn’t represent them. Eight years of Trump is probably enough to destroy many careers.
There was a huge worry about this at the time, but considering the odds were so large, there were maybe 2-3 people that had actually made this bet that kept it after Jan. If they were to not pay out they’d have worldwide exposure and every other bookie taking their business.
This might sound crazy, but if you can wear braces to protect yourself, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu might be an option.
I’ve trained for close to a decade, and have trained with people with spinal injuries, hand deformities, no legs, limited/no vision, and limited/no hearing. Obviously, combat sports with limb injuries without consulting a professional first is fucking stupid, but you can absolutely make it work with the right gym and coach. Sure, you won’t be doing an iminari roll any time soon, but it might be a good workout and an option to test what you can and cannot do.
Dude is also clearly juiced out of his fucking mind.
Help make striking comfortable.
If they don’t have one already, donate money to rent a portaloo or to ask a local business if they’re happy for strikers to use their washroom facilities.
Provide them with warm drinks, warm meals, and the ability to rest a little.
Alongside that, just keep people entertained and happy.
I didn’t have a lot of belief in myself. At 10 my dream was “work in an office”, because it would mean I was smart enough to not need to work a manual job. I also firmly believed that no woman would want me.
I’d be surprised to learn that I’m married, have a child, and work in tech for one of the biggest companies in the world. They’d also be surprised that I’m moving to that city where Friends is.
It depends entirely on what you want to accomplish. You could argue for anything, but without context it’s ultimately just noise.
People that don’t have kids that park in parent and child spaces.
It’s almost always Tesla’s and Audi’s. In my utopia, it would be legal to destroy any car caught parking in these spaces that doesn’t have a child or booster seat.
Block the domain on your router.
Finally, find something else to spend your time on. Go outside, keep yourself busy, take some classes on something, etc. Replace that time with something else.
Put a large bet on Leicester City to win the Premier League.
The odds were 5000-1, and the last person standing cashed out their £50 stake at £75000. I’d have put £500 on for an initial £2.5m, maybe an accumulator on the top 4 to double it, and live a comfortable life off of the winnings.
Oh fuck, I felt bad for ditching two that I got free with a domain I bought, but over a hundred?!
While it’s not fully based on mythology, there is a lot of it intertwined into Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. The meaning of Truth, the role of Sins in life, the role of Men and Women in society, the meaning of Life. A lot of it is covered in fairly abstract ways that only really reveal themselves after a few watches.
Is it web scale?
