  • I think r/InternationalNews was mainly created as a place to discuss issues free from the rampant Zionism of r/WorldNews.

    Happy to have people on Lemmy but I have to say, Lemmy as a whole seems way more anti-Israel than reddit right now. Although to be fair outside of r/WorldNews and a few other places, the general mood does seem to be shifting away from Israel pretty hard.

    For me this is nice to see, because fuck Israel right to hell, but you’ll certainly see the same type of content here. I like that if people don’t like it they can make their own community or even an instance, and also that people are generally more free to disagree here (partially due to lax moderation I guess). You should have never been banned for that comment by the sound of it, absolutely stupid.


  • I would say albums as an art form overall. Yes of course some bands and musicians will still write an album in this way, but music has been playlist-ified to the point where most people won’t listen to it like that. You take a song or two from it and forget the rest exist. My perception is that it’s been a dying thing for some time now.

    I also pick off my favourite songs from most albums, to be fair. But there are some albums that are best viewed as a single piece of art and I feel like that understanding from both listeners and artists is dying. If you just listen to Money and Breathe (In the Air) when they show up in your shuffle, are you really listening to Dark Side of the Moon?


  • Would help to have more details on the math. I would say try for the W but take the L. If you could do it with the formulas can’t you just remember a few important ones? If you only need to pass it might be enough to carry you through.

    Imagine you hid a bit of paper successfully (seems difficult on it’s own but anyway): how do you check it? There will surely be people watching so you can’t go digging around in your shoe.

    If you get caught cheating, there is a 0% chance you pass. If you try, the chance is higher than 0.

    I don’t know the details but I’m sure there’s some other way around this where you won’t be totally fucked if it doesn’t go well







  • Yeah the thing that really pissed me off is how they got r/star_trek shut down. Not only could you not have an honest conversation about something you love on the official sub, when someone makes an alternative for that specific reason they still just can’t let people have it. There was a lot of criticism of the r/startrek mods on there for a while, admittedly, but they deserve it. It’s pathetic.

    It’s because that sub was basically moved from Reddit to the fediverse and resides on the actual Star Trek website. Just proves the rumor that CBS/Paramount has been influencing it all along.

    Well shit.
