Hell fucking yeah!

It also impacts stuff like willingness to return in issues like this as well. If I feel the country is too unsafe to stay in I’d hate to not be able to vote to change it back

I bet that papist is only voting how the pope wants him to /s

Probably the only foreign head of state allowed to vote huh

I have mixed feelings on mod logs personally. They’re great when the mods aren’t trustworthy and nothing is controversial. But I think they leave mod teams vulnerable to coordinated attack, which absolutely will happen if lemmy gets big enough. The mod logs played a (small) role in my decision not to take on mod roles or start communities here.

Mod mail on the other hand is a great tool for communication with basically no downsides

Yeah, and I will say it’s definitely better for posting than I expected. I kinda was expecting very little response, and I think that the small community vibes help people feel comfortable replying to OC posts. That said, there are some things it’s missing (notably to me at least is a sapphic oriented nudes space). But ultimately yeah it’s good and improving, and I do recommend people who’ve been considering posting there give it a try.

Wait, there’s no mod mail‽ That’s a really important feature for people trying to mod well

Yeah, people like you are changing it to something more palatable. And I’m seeing increases in different users posting/commenting more often rather than just the power users. Idk if it’s crossed the threshold for increasing usability yet, but I’m hopeful for it for the first time since I was new here that it’s slowly becoming better.

Well fuck, that’s a sad one to lose. His performance as Picard made me feel so much

Kinda, but also it can be basically an associate’s degree worth of political theory and history that most anarchists pick up through a combination of personal study and interpersonal discussion over years. And that occurs during the radicalization stage, which infiltrators need to pose as already having passed. And the fact that these topics aren’t necessarily simple also plays a role.

Like, I’ve met dumb anarchists before, but nobody would join a cell with the idiots, and the idiots won’t think to join a cell. They’ll get intoxicated and light something on fire at a protest or something similar. And even they’ll expect you to have some cultural understanding before committing a crime with you.

Yeah but it was more of an unhinged manifesto/screed. Hussain wrote novels, at least one of which was a romance, which is far more impressive

Sounds itchy

Firstly that’s super fucking racist. Secondly, the Islamic golden age famously involved a hell of a lot of science and literature being produced bt Arabs. Thirdly, in recent history there was one famous Arab guy who was so committed to producing literature he was writing books while working an extremely high stress job.

So also hitting Arizona and Arkansas?

Unless they’re Shia, in which case once he comes out he has to transition fast and work to pass asap. At least according to an Iranian trans woman I once met. But also niqabs are more Wahabi

Every election these days some conservative tries to show how easy it is to illegally vote by making the really stupid decision of illegally voting

It’s also just like, gonna come with the territory of streaming. Streaming is being live for hours on end on a regular basis, I’d have my foot in my mouth all the time if I were doing that. Hell I say stupid shit plenty without that

I want to be clear here. In my in my UK example I think Wales has always been a separate entity with the right to self determination, much like Ukraine. Just because both have a long history of being a part of a more imperialist neighbor (typically conquered) doesn’t take any of that away

It’s his primary cassus belli that doesn’t include a responsibility to leave after regime change. If Ukraine is rightfully Russian then he gets a lot of fertile land and a permanent warm water port. Also he clearly considers the loss of Ukraine to be a humiliation since it had been occupied by the czars then made into a soviet republic, but is now completely independent.

In some ways this is like if the UK were to dissolve then 30 years later the English start saying that Wales was always part of England.
