Make the coordinates public and let curiosity run its course.

What is the Democratic scaremongering and propaganda?

Democrats are shitty because they are generally corporate sellouts. Republicans do the scaremongering and propaganda.

I taught my daughters the usual logical fallacies from a young age. While doing that I learned that while occasionally, they appear in pristine form (looking at you, Slippery Slope and No True Scotsman), usually, they come rather nuanced, often clustered together, and difficult to identify.

A great way to get good at them is watch Fox News and identify them as they come. You can watch other networks and find them, but for a constant stream, Fox is a goldmine.

🥕 3 shredded carrots 🍋 juice of one lemon 🧂 a little bit of salt

An amazingly fresh and delicious summer salad.

Define Asian. I live in "Asia" and have never seen this.

For some reason, Republicans accuse their advisaries of the things they themselves are actually doing. My guess is that OP was Republican, has come to see that the Republicans are full of shit , bit still believes the lies they told about Democrats.

Rightward politics correlates with low intelligence.

It sounds like it's breaking the fourth wall. Narrators can do it.

Scaremongering is by definition fabricating or playing up dangers. These are real.

I mod a 21 thousand member sub on Reddit and opened a similar one here. I put several relevant posts to get things started and let people on the sub know we are here with a tutorial on how to sign up and explanation on why it is good to have an alternate.

I now have about 20 members, a few coming each day. However no one has posted or replied at all.

Another community I created has a similar result.

I know there is a threshold of activity that stimulates more activity, but so far its not happening. I've started many active subreddits, including one in the 1% with half a million subscribers. I'm not new to community building. I'm honestly concerned.

I want to encourage everyone to post and comment in the little communities you have joined. You will be contributing to this whole project when you do.

Lemmy, yes. Mastodon, no. I could make no sense of mastodon and found nothing of interest.

Look at an IQ map and political map of the US. The stupid and right wing maps are nearly identical.

You need to join a club or take a class. That is the Norwegian way of breaking the silence. Instant connection.

Good counter metaphor. When Audible disappears my book, and I can't do anything about it, that is theft.

I believe there was a book in the 80s called Sniglets that made up words for things and this was one of them. I didn't remember what it was called. Any or all of this memory could be wrong.

Pretty sure this is sarcasm, but it is not wrong, so also not sure.

I think it's equally plausible that it was planted as it is that it was forgotten.

Digg.com was the big thing with Reddit trailing. Digg began tweaking the experience toward a more profitable model. I had already come to Reddit when they went too far and there was a sudden enormous migration from Digg to Reddit. Digg went from being THE social media aggregator to being nothing in a matter of weeks.

Reddit is more deeply rooted, so I think it will stick around, I'm cool if Reddit keeps those who are happy with corporate model busy so we can do our thing here.

Your final statement is very true, however there is a reason that Fox News had to defend themselves by claiming they are entertainment. Anyone who believes that Fox News does not have more logical fallacies than most other news really needs to assess their own cognitive biases. I can see logical fallacies on topics I agree with and they piss me off more because I believe that they throw discredit on the perspective that can be argued on it's own merits.

Does this apply to hamburger too?

I have flown a hundred times and slept exactly once. It was like teleporting from Osaka to Sydney. If I could do that more, it would be very good.

No, I'm thinking of times when they knowingly put something cheap, but toxic in products and a bunch of people die. It's mass murder and they treat it like that. In the US, if an individual kills ten people and a corporation kills ten people, the punishment will be very different.

I live in Japan. I could wave money around begging for a copyright owner to take it, but they refuse to take it and I can't access the content.

I'm trying to recreate this and my brain just won't let it happen.

Most of them were not made up recently, and in a book of words made up for that book.

People from other countries are also much easier to get to know. After that it's Norwegians who have experience abroad. But clubs and classes definitely work.

Being naturally occuring or contrived influences their legitimacy and staying power.

I swoon every time I need to edit a title...and can!

~And, yeah, we need more users.~

We use non-virgin olive oil. High smoke point, but good flavor.

If China's capitalists cause death, they put them to death. If they commit fraud, the punishment is somewhat related to the crime. China has a lot to criticize, but they get some things right.

That could be different. Lemmy is not corporate owned.

I'm active in the real world and my life is enriched by the interaction I have on niche topics on social media. Doing one does not mean you neglect the other.

The first I tried was Lemmy.ml. I applied and didn't hear back. So I joined Lemmy.world and registered immediately.

I'd use cloth or you may leave bits.

Skal.

It's good. It has the pre-Digg.com migration vibe that early Reddit had. Niche communities are hard to get started, but that's to be expected.

Lots of positivity.

Don't have one. Computers, on the other hand, the family has a bunch.

Thanks. I unsubbed and subscribed again with no change. It appears that I can participate directly, but content doesn't show up on my feed. Same with a bunch more communities.

When corporations write the laws, the laws help corporation.

Well, Digg.com still exists. It's just that no one cares.
