That's what you get for going to Ohio. 🤪

Me! I'm not mad at it either. The combat is completely different, but that's not a bad thing.

Great, so we jam more satellites into orbit, redoubling the same work and clogging up massive swaths of spectrum just so we can have someone else dictating terms and taking profit. Wish we could do it once, globally, and be done with it.

Yeah, actually it makes sense. They are property and the pigs' objective is to protect property.

They're a good time for sure.

Upvote for anything control❤️

My guess is upright. They often wrap their tails around themselves back to front, so along the ground so that it encircles their feet as far as it'll go. This looks like they just let it go forward rather continuing to keep it pressed against themself. Admittedly it's a very weird angle to see a cat and I'm not sure why the front paws aren't on whatever surface they're sitting on.

I kind of dove into this game with no expectations and I absolutely loved it. The nonsense of this world you're diving into is so well done and weird in all the best ways. I loved it.

Just as Nolan intended douche sounds

I mean the US not being the good guy was the distillation of his message.

Another person spoke about his Epstein connection which has come out recently, which is a huge disappointment. All I can say is that like 15 years ago, people like him, Norm Finkelstein and Chris Hedges helped to plant me on the left. Finding out about Epstein has been difficult to understand given his work and the effect it had on me.

Yeah, I honestly don't know what to make of that, it's personally a real letdown as Chomsky's power came from truth telling and moral clarity, and then he hangs out with that fucking pedo. I'm not sure what he was accused of specifically. I thought it was that he had dinners with Epstein. I hadn't heard he advised him. That'd be next level bad.

However, I don't think that changes his analysis. Either it's valid or not.

Don't know the exact context to this story because it just popped up on my feed, but it reminds me of a Chomsky interview about his book "Manufacturing concent". The book deals with the western media and how it controls conversations by setting the overton window.

​Andrew Marr: How can you know that I'm self-censoring? How can you know that journalists are...

​Noam Chomsky: I’m not saying you’re self-censoring. I’m sure you believe everything you’re saying. But what I’m saying is that if you believed something different, you wouldn’t be sitting where you’re sitting.

Probably Iranian missiles...right?😂

Yeah, it may be the tech demo that Lemmy serves that skews content the way it does in other places (like bluesky). Another commenter was gesturing in that direction and it makes sense to me. Thanks for taking the time.

I see, so because of this asymmetry in treatment by society, there's an assymetry of suppport in these particular online spaces. Makes sense. I appreciate your input, thanks.

Interesting. Yeah that makes sense considering the "masculine" bullshit associated with the tech space. Thanks for your reply.

What you're suggesting seems to align with what other people are saying too. Thank you, I appreciate it.

I see. That makes sense, thanks for taking the time, regardless of salt.

It seems like Lemmy is all about trans women, I'm genuinely curious though why we don't have more trans men content. I'd say it's maybe on the order of 10:1 posts celebrating trans fem vs trans masc (obviously not a scientific calculation).

I don't have a lot of background in a lot of trans spaces so this is coming from a place of ignorance, but do people in the community have any insight as to why it seems to be this way?

Take this one for instance, it specifically says trans women. Why wouldn't this just say trans people, comrades or something like that? Is there a large descrepancy between numbers of trans fem/masc or something?

Edit. I appreciate what people have said below. Together these responses give a textured albeit 10,000 foot answer to my question, which was what I was looking for. Thanks ya'll.

Some real Hyperion Shit going on here. Anyone from the web should prolly move on...😳
