Neither vote will. Trump’s even worse on Gaza, if that’s possible. So you may as well vote on other issues.

Why only images of sentient beings though? Did God not create the rest of it too?

OK, yes, that is a bit odd. Thanks for pointing out that the numbers on my instance would be incomplete - I hadn’t thought of that.

Right now they have 897 posts and 2.99K comments, so that seems a bit less than your numbers. Looking at their history they seem to be human, not a bot, and they submit news stories in bursts, which isn’t as odd as if there were a constant stream of submissions. In between, they comment and discuss. I make it about 2.7 submissions or comments per hour. If they just have times each day when they binge Lemmy, that’s not in itself suspicious.

Edit: I agree now that this is a bit odd.

What if you sneak around Afghanistan whispering “Don’t think of an elephant!” to people? Are they in trouble?

What if my own blasphemous eyes and mind keep creating images of living things?

Quick, check the ancient religious texts for guidance on viruses.

The only thing preventing it is a few greedy, sick little men with a lot of power. We are destroying life on our planet for their gain, though they already have many, many times more wealth than anyone could ever need or enjoy.

Today I’ve seen headlines with “Netanyahu mulls plan” and “Trump pitches plan,” as if these are reasonable men going about ordinary political business and not fascists intent on oppression and genocide. The media continually polishes the fascists’ image for them.

Ironic that the nationalists, who are so concerned to uphold the myth of their own country’s superiority, always prove themselves to be the exact same brand of ignorant fool found in every country.

That long Wikipedia article conveys quite well how there isn’t consensus. We don’t know how bad it would be, because our various best models give different results. But to say it’s not a sure thing is different from saying “nuclear winter isn’t real,” which suggests a consensus that it won’t happen.

Chrome excites arbitrary code from google.com (this wasn’t something widely known until recently and appears to effect all the chromium downstream browsers).

I hadn’t heard about that. Can you link me to some info about it?

yes I know nuclear winter isn’t real

That’s not a consensus view.

According to a peer-reviewed study published in the journal Nature Food in August 2022, a full-scale nuclear war between the United States and Russia, which together hold more than 90% of the world’s nuclear weapons, would kill 360 million people directly and more than 5 billion indirectly by starvation during a nuclear winter.

Another paper published that year, from the Tohoku University Earth science scholar Kunio Kaiho, compared the impact of nuclear winter scenarios on marine and terrestrial animal life with that of historical extinction events. Kaiho estimated that a minor nuclear war (which he defined as a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan or an event of equivalent magnitude) would cause extinctions of 10–20% of species on its own, while a major nuclear war (defined as a nuclear exchange between United States and Russia) would cause the extinctions of 40–50% of animal species…

He is full of hot air though.

The media, as usual, talks as if they’re trying to discern his secret, rational plan. Even when he spouts fascist threats of mass oppression and murder, they discuss him as if he’s just another politician with policy proposals. It’s unclear under what circumstances he’d call in troops against Americans because he’s psychologically chaotic, fragile and highly volatile. Anything could trigger him to do so. The only thing that’s consistent is he threatens retribution against immigrants, trans people, Black people, women, and anyone who doesn’t worship him enough.

Possibly also what’s coming if Trump wins.

Can you link to your evidence for these two points? I may be out of date but the last time I looked there were much lower numbers being accused by Israel, and none of the accusations confirmed independently.

That’s not true. You should look again at their comment history. Their comment above was making fun of Israel’s tendency to retroactively label whoever they kill as Hamas.

It’s also untrue. Check their history for yourself. They’re critical of Israel and sympathetic to the people Israel is bombing.
