Sugar. People don't realize how bad it is for you and how addictive it is.

American hospitals cannot legally refuse to treat you even if they know you can't pay/don't have insurance. So worst case scenario is you go and have whatever done and they bill you and you don't pay and it's a write off for the hospital.

Often times, if you can't pay they will offer a reduced amount to at least get something out of you if they know they won't get anything otherwise.

They can't even fight a small country like Ukraine and they want to test the might of a fully armed and optional Battlestaion NATO alliance? Do they believe that anyone really believes them?

You can post anything and it will get down voted. Lemmy is as toxic as reddit and people use downvote as a tool to suppress what they don't like, regardless of the merit of the comment.

from now on you have to be more careful with Russia

What? You've shown your entire military is a joke. If anything, everyone knows they can wreck your military with little effort. The only defense you have at this point is your nuclear weapons. But you can't really use those or you'll turn the entire world against you.

No, they don't. Only a very small percentage of the videos on Youtube end up making any money for the creators.

Toad in a hole is what I've always heard it called

Are you saying you stand up and then wipe your ass? Like/// really? Holy shit.

I don't quite understand why you are paying someone else to host your data? At that point, just use one of the major cloud services...

Your biological age doesn't matter on the Internet. Your only currency is how you communicate. If you communicate like a child, as far as the Internet is concerned, you are a child. If you want to be treated like an adult you need to act/communicate like an adult.

Grenades aren't intended to be kill or breach devices like you see in movies. While they do explode, they do so in such a way as to shred the outer casing making it such that it creates lots of tiny, sharp fragments (hence the name, "fragmentation grenade") which then injure and disable people.

The explosive power of a grenade is rather minimal in the grand scheme of things and unless you are right on top of it or just take an unlucky hit from a piece of shrapnel, you will survive but be injured. The intent, then, is that other people will now have to help you, so injuring one person disables two to three people from the fight.

That article is awful. Is it a machine translated article? Can anyone summarize it. I couldn't stand trying to read it, it was so poorly written.

You need to right click and point it to the proper directory where the files are located.

RMB -> Set Location

Start the torrent. It should say Checking Files, count up to 100%, and then start seeding.

Why would we want to stop population decline when the world is already overpopulated?

I’m a random idiot from Serbia

You got one part right, finally.

Yes that's correct. Same with the apple keyboard, which is why the keyboard and browsers on IOS are such shit

It's a KBin problem. My KBin instance wouldn't even federate properly with another KBin instance at least more than half the time

The size of these conflicts are tiny. The US military can fight two MAJOR conflicts simultaneously. By comparison, the Ukraine and the Middle East barely count as one. Many people don't understand the size of the US military and it's ability to project power. It would take two massive wars the size of WWII to overextend the US currently. If something like that were to happen, NATO would obviously be stepping in, adding a massive backing to an already massive military.

The only military in the world that could even begin to deplete the USAs ability to respond indefinitely would be China and that is super questionable (Especially in light of the laughable showing from the Russian military, there's serious question as to what kind of paper tiger China is at this point. There's no question they are going to be more formidable than the Russian military, but there's a lot of speculation that it won't be by much. They have too much corruption and grift, the same as the Russian military, just not quite as extensive). They don't have the material, supply, and logistic to fight a sustained and protracted battle with the US. The US, being effectively an isolated country, has the largest Navy in the the world and is literally built around a logistics chain that requires absolutely NO land transport. The US can have a full logistical chain anywhere in the world, all feeding back from the US mainland if necessary and sustain that indefinitely.

You don't. You need to create it with a full client, not the web client

The fact that you said "my router doesn't appear on file explorer" tells us everything we need to know about your skill level. You don't know the first thing about "protecting this open port" and you aren't qualified to assess the security risks of what you are trying to do.

What does the FCC have to do with it? Do you mean the FTC?

I, too, preferred KBin to lemmy. I created my communities there and ultimately spun up my own instance. With all the problems, I finally gave up on it and ended up spinning up a lemmy instance. With the Advent of Sync for lemmy, it was the right decision.

Now, using sync, and lemmy tools on the desktop, the lemmy experience is excellent.

I do think KBin has a better user interface and the extra Mastodon integration is awesome, but it's just too rough to be used as a daily driver unfortunately.

Tell us you don't know how to type without telling us you don't know how to type

I love swipe gestures on the phone and use it almost exclusively and I'm pretty fast with it... but in no world is it even close to the speed of a keyboard.

Wow... Literally nobody has mentioned the easiest solution? Get enough sleep and use a regular bedtime?

Just getting "enough" sleep for a few nights isn't going to work. You need to go to bed at the same time every night and get enough restful sleep for months so your body is on a schedule. Then you won't be tired during the day.

If you are, you may not be getting restful sleep and you need to investigate that.

For me, it was a CPAP. I'm physically fit, normal weight, healthy otherwise, but I was having obstructive sleep apnea. Getting a CPAP was a night and day difference, as my sleep is much more restful and restorative.

Being a habitual asshole like that? I think it might be warranted. Nothing of value is lost by those people not being part of society any longer.

Yep, I agree. Yet another reason I just spun up my own instance and use that.

Nobody cares man. Why do you think this is the proper forum to air your grievance about a known shitty instance?

Stop visiting that instance. Problem solved.

Then maybe don't have a cat if you can't care for it properly?

There a really good point. We take the AC for granted mostly, while it's an usual sight in many parts of Europe.

I was running a KBin server, but federation never worked well, even with other KBin servers.

Finally gave up myself and spooled up a Lemmy server.

It's unfortunate because KBin is just better in almost every aspect compared to Lemmy, but the lack of reliable federation just kills it

And English... I've heard them use soccer as well on many occasions

I think a lot of you are confusing Federation with decentralization. They are not the same thing.

I think you mean trying to get their fucking luggage and shit. Cause my clothes are more important than living, apparently.

He's asking about moderators, not admins. Of course admins can see that information.

Why are they not encrypting the email?

Really? Like this exact same shit hasn't been going on for nearly a 100 years (actually longer, depending on how you define it) at this point? Long before "social media."

It's religion. This goes on because of religion. Idiots believing their magic, imaginary friend in the sky is "more righter" than the other magic, imaginary friend in the sky. Idiots killing idiots in the end.

That's why I finally gave up after nearly 3 decades of running my own email server. It's just stamping out fire after fire and my time became way more valuable as I got older.

"will you go with me to the store?" "Ok"

My experience is that ok is used 50/50 for yes or I heard you
