I just here for the first time, I find it liberating, almost daring behavior

My perception is you are trying to talk people out of donating to maintain lemmy, while using it yourself?

What does this even have to do with piracy ???

There is piracy and then there is talking others out of donating

I expect the poop emoji to be used a lot with press inquiries

Two former FBI officials familiar with the matter said Bongino’s current bodyguards have followed him inside secure FBI facilities, including headquarters in Washington. They said directors typically walk around headquarters without their security details.

I don’t think he is worried about the public threats to him?

Well said!

Physically, hips. Bane of larger wolves. Then we have how that new fur changes their comfort and heat regulation . It’s more than cosmetic: hundreds of variables

Then there is psychology: how all this affects their feelings, how it affects other wolves interacting with them.

Notice the pups are bottle fed: lack of maternal care. Having taken in many dogs, I know that really is important. Then, finally isolation.

Given how the press release and non peer reviewed paper overhypes. I’m not sure if I would want these people to be my vet, never mind dna tinkers.

This was unethical research though. They basically tweaked a few things in a wolf without regard to quality of life.

And the changes are so superficial that it reminds me of a gimmick to raise more money; I actually looked for references to crypto and block chain, in case they went there too.

We had small independent newspapers by the hundreds in the 1970s; and that was better than the handful of companies now.

In Texas: bold of you to assume Texas is a democracy and not in violation of United Nations guidelines. Feel free to send observers

Yes, the mainstream press is equivalent to a government owned press.

Perhaps in a literal fashion too since all of these are owned by oligarchs who own the government. They have the same masters, he and the press.

Can people in the mainstream press stop humanizing this crazy who is doing the historically bad thing for evil reasons and also theft?

My point was that the current leaders can only do nothing. I’m in Texas, so there.

My takeaway is to act now or hold your peace.

But this is not accurate because we are not like early 1930’s Germany. There, the fascists supplanted an actual democracy and people really protested and fought on the streets. There was a need by the fascist to brutally suppress or be out of power.

America today is not transitioning from a democracy to a fascist state; but is an oligarchy undergoing a minor political realignment of its most powerful families. There is no real protest to suppress. There is no street fighting. There is still mostly freedom of speech. There are no leaders of action to rally around.

The best most of us can do is try to help block unjust arrests and provide shelter and hiding to immigrants. Most of us will not be able to act at all

My understanding is that this is not terrible, only bad then? In top ten new movies this year?

Yes, run to other countries

Shout out to the employee who interrupted to accuse Microsoft of war crimes!

And 5 million today is only half a million in purchasing power two generations ago. And even less three generations ago.

So basically we are talking about middle class as it used to be defined. Problem in the USA is, very few people now have this money; so quite rightly it seems out of reach for many

No politician in California is going to criticize the lack proper vote counting techniques in the USA states that caused this harm. This is because Californian leadership is in thrall to the oligarchs.

Also the man saying this is not the type of person to get out of the safe zone.

I’m not quite sure why people are thinking anything significant can or will happen. The United States cannot change at all

Or if ruthless native oligarchs were trying a power grab to control the country for the next generation.
