Hi there!
The same way we used to? Tags and the ability to search for things, along with word of mouth from your friends and media you follow.
Even before the internet, people found new things like music or books by interacting with those communities, looking in places where those things can be found and finding stuff they like.
We don’t need some algorithm to spoon feed us things it wants us to like, we can find it ourselves with minimal effort.
If the Republican Party can purge the United Kingdom they deserve the win that’s impressive range.
It’s not difficult to support an enemy of the USA these days thankfully, just lend your support to Canada.
They deserve it, and we need to stand with them against US Imperialist aggression.
I think they mean mistake as in “you just made a big mistake buddy we’re gonna make you pay for that”, rather than a mistake as in “oops I didn’t mean to say that, I err’d”.
The BBC, for all it’s issues, still follows basic rules of journalistic integrity with regards to facts.
If the BBC can’t independently verify something through their own trusted channels (and multiple at that), they won’t state something as fact, they’ll just state the claim and say who made the claim.
It’s not disrespectful, or suggesting that party is lying, it’s just how good journalism is carried out.
As for why discussing how deadly the effects of the disaster have been, I imagine that’s because people reading the article are concerned about the potential deadly effects of damage to the current radiation shield, and so some background is useful here.
Again, the BBC can’t truly verify how many died, we only have our own nation’s educated guesses coupled with the likely intentionally inaccurate numbers released by the USSR, and it’s difficult to pin exact causes on some long term effects on an individual basis, like an increased cancer rate.
I would be surprised if these numbers weren’t disputed, and so as it’s relevant to bring up the deadly effects of the disaster, the responsible thing to do is to also mention that the actual number of casualties is disputed.
Good journalism isn’t telling us what to think, feel or believe, good journalism is attempting to give us the unvarnished facts, claims, or what information we do have, which are pertinent to understanding the situation ourselves.
Boost, it was the perfect Reddit client for me and now it’s the perfect Lemmy client, I didn’t have to sacrifice any aspect of the experience.
God I love you, Boost my beloved 😍
I’m on Android. It’ll be a cold day in hell before I give Steve Jobs a penny.
I use the Boost app for Lemmy so it basically feels exactly like the ideal Reddit experience felt back then, which is fantastic.
As for being put off, the only thing that really bothers me is the extreme hatred for Windows and the deepthroating of Linux. It’s creepy.
Like, I love Linux and use it for many things alongside Windows, but I don’t get obsessively weird about it to the point of creating memes or going out of my way to tell people why they’re wrong for using one over the other, you know?
If that were toned down I’d certainly feel a little more relaxed, but on the whole the Lemmy experience has been lovely <3
That’s because it’s illegal and you’re committing a crime on behalf of your employer.
Kinda ruined by having website branding slapped in the middle of it, especially as the majority of the poster is, if we want to talk creative property and such, ripped off from an old WWII poster.
But yeah, regardless of the why, it is very poorly placed and draws the eye far too much. There’s a reason such copyright statements are in small text in a corner, not plastered in the literal middle of an image.
You’re in NATO, if the USA betrays NATO and attacks NATO, they will presumably trigger the famous Article 5 and be at war with all of NATO.
Besides that, you’re also in the Commonwealth, and as such I expect the UK and her allies to come to your aid. Our government is spineless shite these days, but I expect we won’t shirk our most solemn of obligations.
Either way, if the fascist US invades Canada, it’ll be all out war between the US and all of NATO. Won’t end well for anybody, but it definitely won’t end with the US annexing Canada.
Might end with the Western world being an atomic crater (including the USA) with nations like Russia and China picking over our corpses to establish a new world order, but won’t end with Canada being annexed.
The US government would have to be suicidal to do this. Utterly suicidal, to the point of actually being traitors to their own nation.
What an unusual place to see news about my city! What are the odds haha.
Fascist tossers can go back where they came from that’s for sure 👍
The photo is weirdly blurry and grainy so be suspicious.
You mean the filthy window? Yeah, something tells me they get pollution there and don’t clean the outside of the windows as often as they should. I’ve seen that kinda filthy often enough on office windows.
At this rate I expect their second civil war to have kicked off by April, should be quite an event!
I think the term is Nazi Collaborator.
could we ask the UK and rest of Commonwealth to help us out if things get too bad?
The UK need not have entered the last conflict against aggressive fascists when and how she did, but did so as much out of a sense of obligation to one’s friends and the moral right as anything. When conflict loomed, the UK made a defensive pact with Poland, when she could have easily just sat back and watched.
The same is true of Canada. We are no longer an empire, no longer a large and powerful nation, but if and when the US eventually takes direct aggressive military action, the UK, backed by the Allies of the new Millennium in Europe and beyond, will come to Canada’s aid.
To do any less would be to side with the fascists.
Thinking of the USA’s current lying, deceitful leader, and their increasingly aggressive moves, I’m once again reminded of Chamberlain’s address to the nation…
We have a clear conscience. We have done all that any country could do to establish peace, but a situation in which no word given by Germany’s ruler could be trusted and no people or country could feel themselves safe had become intolerable. And now that we have resolved to finish it, I know that you will all play your part with calmness and courage.
As such a moment as this the assurances of support that we have received from the Empire are a source of profound encouragement to us.
…Now may God bless you all and may He defend the right. For it is evil things that we shall be fighting against, brute force, bad faith, injustice, oppression and persecution. And against them I am certain that the right will prevail.
And if you’ll forgive me a little more quoting of particularly famous speeches, this line about the new world comes to mind also…
we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
Even if one of us falls, the others will step forth to their rescue and liberation. Freedom from fascism is a universal right, and we will enforce it until we no longer can ♥️
I’m sure it’ll be back up soon don’t worry :-)
When they try to get into the back of the car in front of us.
Drivers seem to forget that they always must maintain minimum emergency breaking distance from the car in front, which changes with weather conditions, speed limit, and the reaction times of the driver themselves.
Really? That doesn’t look like a UK manhole cover, where abouts is it?
Their constitution has protections on their rights for just such a situation, so they should be quite aware of their rights and what they’re capable of as a people.
