I don't think hands are good at peeling potatoes. Maybe if you sharpen your nails?

Is this real? It looks too damn good.

No cake frosting in the jungle.

On top of how many? Still though, that's insane. But with such an aged population it's no wonder. Japan is in a vicious cycle and many other countries are getting there.

Grab some water and stay hydrated.

"Smirnova staged a 45-minute protest and refused to leave the competition strip."

The Russian fencer is basically a toddler.

You probably dodged a bullet there. This sounds a lot like someone who is already in a relationship or at the very least has a similarly strong reason to move on. Did they invite you over or was it always about them coming over?

Only time really works for me. This will be extra tough on you because the first month of a relationship is peak honeymoon phase. We rarely see any negatives. The other person is essentially perfect in our eyes during that period. And that's the memory and expectations you're left with. In truth though, you have at best only met the tip of the iceberg. You're not craving a person but rather the ideal your mind has built for them.

Security services have been warning us of inhouse terrorism for years. This is what we are seeing now.

The US for one could just stop their war on drugs, which has been ravaging the world for decades, and only has like 1% efficacy, and use that money in programs to prevent this. But unfortunately we no longer live in times where reason rules.

Zero-sum ideologies have taken over. We live in societies where other people's gain are seen as our loss. And then what we get are huge society splits which will eventually and inevitably be the end of that society as it was.

When it comes to posts like yours, whatever comes before the but is pointless to read.

UK law is a bit interesting in this regard so I don't fully blame them for avoiding the term. Since they could have been fucking legally and they could be joining the armed forces at 16. So by extension we are okay with children fighting our wars and fucking their grandpas, but not distributing nudes. I'd absolutely expect these to be used in their defence when they go to court. Maybe this changes something and we can finally make 18 a hard line. But I doubt it. I don't think this person will go to jail, especially since they can afford lawyers.

Not sure if he hates anything but it does look like he looks at most people as lesser beings.

I am guilty of describing recent events as “the death of Reddit.”

'Reddit as you know it has ended.'

Different people will have different takes on that quote. But that's easier to interpret since it's not edgy and more fitting of the reality. Reddit won't be going away yet, just like Facebook didn't despite its numerous fiascos. Someone who was on Reddit since its beginning might have agreed with this quote several years ago. In my case, it was around the time Reddit had the first Facebook exodus and the time they started accepting investment from dodgy companies like Tencent.

Right now, defederation is being used the way it was arguably intended: to protect communities who feel threatened by massive growth.

A lot of Subreddits were negatively impacted by massive growth. I'd argue that was the case for all of them. The people factor aside, you'd get issues with becoming monetisation targets, which, among others, can mean mod corruption and increased bot activity.

No system is perfect. Lemmy's day will most likely come too, just like it has come for almost everything else. Enjoy while you can, you do live in the present after all.
