Just switch out a few words.

Oooooh, cool meme template!

I came here smiling, yet you made me chuckle.

This is an interesting post because it mixes valid arguments with bogus just well enough to give the tankies (yeah, I’m talking to you) a defensible fall-back position. The Ukrainian military has a Neo-Nazi problem: Undeniable. Is that also a cornerstone of Russian anti-Ukrainian propaganda? Youbetcha. In comes the dog-whistle. Ukraine losing the war right now: Yup, unfortunate reality, though they seem to be fighting with every nail and tooth. “Losing the war”, yes, but not “Lost the war already”. And Russia is paying with heavy losses for that. And let’s not forget that this is only the case because Ukrainian allies (Hey, that meme shows a corner of the EU flag, what a coincidink) don’t get their shit together and put boots on the ground themselves; otherwise the power balance would look quite differently. Everyone, including the Russian military, expected the war to be over in a week (by official statements, anyway). Yet here we are, even though Ukraine is fighting one of the largest conventional armies in the world. Oh, and lastly: Enlighten me, how is Ukraine, not Russia, the Imperialist in this war?!

Oh yeah, absolutely I would!

That just sounds like the original ‘Die Hard’ with Aliens. he’s in the vents!

Thanks, I really needed to hear that today. Brightens my mood. stupid reality being all fucked up stupid shit why not happy?

It really is :D ! Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctic_English

Fully agree. That said, the Antarctic research stations do have their own subculture and their own accent, so that much will likely occur on a lunar base, too.

Sideshow Bob, raises knife: “Call me a Bartender!”

Bart, confused: “Huh?!”

Sideshow Bob, visibly annoyed: “A… How can you not understand this simple concept?” monologues, walking up and down “A ‘Bart-Ender’, Bartholomew, a BART ENDERR!” huge eyes, devilish smile “because I will END BART tonight, muahaha!”

Bart, completely chilled, signature look of superiority: “Yeah, that makes no sense Bob. You really got to work on your presentation before you make these stupid plans.”

Bob, screams, pulls out hair, Chief Wiggum arrives, Bob’s plan: Foiled once again.

Yes, I assumed so. Welcome to Lemmy! I meant: Complain to your government about it! Only when they are pressured by enough citizens is they’re a chance that they may reconsider.

Complain to your local government. Yes, many websites are guilty of surveillance capitalism themselves and are lobbying for it, but the recent push was largely in response to new surveillance laws passed by governments under various guises, such as protecting the youth.

Higher stakes

LOL 🤭 quiet, mafia, IT is talking!

They’re basically playing Russian Roulette with their servers. They condition a remove all command on a random numbers generator and pray. If it does not wipe the server, it spits out “Lucky Boy”

Glad it helps you get by! I hadn’t heard of the rotating antihistamines trick and was curious about the mechanism, so I asked Dr. DuckDuckGo. Could’ve always been some other tolerance mechanism, like faster breakdown of the drug, which rotating might help with. The paper does mention benadryl and a handful of other substances, but it’s also ancient by research standards, so I don’t know if that applies to all antihistamines or if some circumvent tolerance induction somehow.

Does rotating them actually work? I thought they all just blocked your histamine receptors, so your body couldn’t care less just which substance did that for expressing more histamine receptors / making more histamine, thereby developing tolerance.

Edit: Yeah, so I hate to place a nocebo here, but taking a break, not rotating them, seems to be the only effective remedy to anti-histamine tolerance. That is, if taking a break is tolerable, of course. I don’t know if that has to be said but please take medical advice from your health care professional of choice and not from a lemmy comment.

Tolerance developed to one antihistamine extended to others, even though the chemical relationship was not close. Return of pharmacologic response to an antihistamine after discontinuance of the drug takes from 3 to 14 days.

Yes, but at least here I can choose an instance in a privacy friendly jurisdiction or one that is small enough, including a self-hosted one. It’s not a perfect shield, but federation helps a lot with digital independence (which is why it’s prominent in pre-internet theories of how to make anarchy work without collapsing into warlordism).

Spoiler alert, both British officials and EU officials are openly considering to slap an age restriction on VPN software, too. Would turn into a weird Catch-22, where you need a non-restricted VPN to download a non-restricted VPN, like in China right now.
