I feel like part of it also is that Lemmy isn't designed for anywhere near the traffic that Reddit gets. For instance, Lemmy maintained Reddit's mod power structure based on mod service length.

Also Lemmy hasn't really done a lot to build spam fighting measures. If the user base grows 10x the current size, I can see spam becoming a bigger problem which could affect usability.

It is people who want small government finding out that programs that benefit them or their communities are getting cut.

We're not even in hurricane season, yet.

Kind of. The Department of War was the Army only. The Department of Navy was its own department and operated based on a different set of military demands, which was a major reason why the Marines exist.

It wasn't until after World War II when the USA recognized the difficulty in having two separate departments for the military made combined operations hard to implement. You also had the Army maintaining a larger peacetime size and a third branch, the Air Force, being created to optimize for a new theater of war.

Funny. I thought the Navy beat the Army more in the Army-Navy game.

The problem is that credit cards can be useful, but you need to have a certain mindset with money to have them. If money is an one-off switch instead of a number, you're going to be ruined by debt.

No. The war is unpopular, but Zelenskyy is still popular.

I think it is clear that the Ukrainian people would accept a negotiated settlement including the loss of territory, but I don't see total capitulation as politically acceptable. The big sticking point appears to be who guarantees Ukrainian independence after the war.

Yeah, this one is the big one.

I feel like World War Z would have been better adapted as a TV show given that the book was episodic in nature.

Reddit fuzzes the upvote total, only showing the difference. More people may be voting on your content than you think, but it may be considered mid.

Eugenics becomes a way to justify less fair societies for reasons that don't fully meet scientific rigor.

Something that fits your skills while only being somewhat soul sucking.

How could China be Ukraine's security guarantor? China doesn't have a military presence in the area and it isn't known for projecting force.
