Trump’s out giving lessons on how to be respectful 😄
Do something “Notable” then add yourself.
You realize arguing with trolls is an exercise in futility, right?
I think all the info available is in the mod log (e.g. https://lemmy.world/modlog).
Not sure if it’s in your instances modlog, the moderator’s or both
Reddit doesn’t have them like Lemmy does. It’s publicly accessible log of all mod actions (e.g. https://lemmy.world/modlog)
most Western people will float above the bottom of their nose
Is that true of salt and fresh water? I’m pretty comfortable floating around in salt water but have grown paranoid with age about fresh water.
Best bet is just have kids so you can splash and wade around with them…
Wow - $10k in 2 hours
$305k now 🤩
Can’t really do more than that unless/until she wins
So what’s the question? Or is this a Betteridge’s thing?
The problem is because of the small size I personally browse the “Local” feed by “New”which gives me every post to every community on Lemmy.world
ETA To be clear; I’m still talking about blocking; not banning.
Also, I did see at least one community had a soft limit on how much was reasonable to post a day, but I forget which one it was 🤔
Less than $5k away from $300k now
Things she condemned in this statement:
- Hamas and associates
- Burning of the US Flag
Things she didn’t condemn in this statement:
- Anti-genocide protestors
- Israel
- Palestine
But that means the well off would be paying in; not just the poor.
What is this some sort of socialist financial security plan?
For me personally comments are whatever. The problem is posts. With posts we’re still pretty small here so there’s not a lot of content but the content and engagement are fairly balanced. If you’re posting a ton it may end up spreading the engagement thin. I personally might block someone who’s posting 80 posts a day.
Cool - Thanks OP!
I’m mostly just annoyed that the top comment got away with slagging the video as being an attack video when it wasn’t.
I don’t blame OP at all; it was just a trash headline from ABC.

Two of Silicon Valley’s famous venture capitalists make the case for backing Trump: that their ability to make money is the only value that matters.

Thumbnails for YouTube link posts are sporadic
I think this might be a general Lemmy problem but I’m not sure. Is there some way it can be worked around?
Soil did not exist before Cenozoic period (the period since the Dinosaur mass extinction event)
> Little of the soil of planet Earth is older than the Pleistocene and none is older than the Cenozoic, although fossilized soils are preserved from as far back as the Archean.
Are jabronis a necessity for a social media platform to be successful?
I see a lot of jabronis hanging around Lemmy. Sometimes I wish they’d just go away, but I wonder if the ecosystem actually needs them.

North Carolina is the only state that still allows inshore shrimp trawling.
Here’s what the North Carolina Wildlife Federation has to say on the topic. It bugs me that they’re framing it as the loss of recreational flounder fishing being the primary consequence, but I suppose whatever brings more attention to the issue is a good thing.

When does investing become gambling?
Is there a hard threshold? Do high risk investments such as penny stocks qualify as gambling? Do low risk investments? Annuities? Bonds? CDs?
This comment got me wondering.
Is it more to do with the venue? Stock markets and real estate vs casinos and the lottery?
Were the MIT Blackjack Team gambling or investing?
Is this just another semantic hotdogs are sandwiches discussion or is there an agreed threshold?
Contestant Generations by Season
I finally got caught up on season 46. After stumbling on a discussion on /r/survivor about generational1 participation and play styles I decided to waste a whole bunch of time and pulled together some data2. I thought it was interesting and thought I’d share.

Number of contestants by generation by season
| Season | Gen Z | Millennials | Gen X | Boomers | Silent | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | 0 | 0 | 10 | 3 | 3 | | 2 | 0 | 0 | 10 | 6 | 0 | | 3 | 0 | 0 | 8 | 7 | 1 | | 4 | 0 | 1 | 10 | 4 | 1 | | 5 | 0 | 0 | 11 | 4 | 1 | | 6 | 0 | 1 | 11 | 4 | 0 | | 7 | 0 | 3 | 9 | 4 | 0 | | 8 | 0 | 1 | 9 | 7 | 1 | | 9 | 0 | 3 | 11 | 3 | 1 | | 10 | 0 | 6 | 10 | 4 | 0 | | 11 | 0 | 9 | 5 | 3 | 1 | | 12 | 0 | 5 | 6 | 5 | 0 | | 13 | 0 | 4 | 13 | 3 | 0 | | 14 | 0 | 4 | 11 | 4 | 0 | | 15 | 0 | 7 | 8 | 1 | 0 | | 16 | 0 | 7 | 8 | 5 | 0 | | 17 | 0 | 8 | 6 | 4 | 0 | | 18 | 0 | 7 | 6 | 3 | 0 | | 19 | 0 | 10 | 7 | 3 | 0 | | 20 | 0 | 7 | 10 | 3 | 0 | | 21 | 0 | 8 | 6 | 5 | 1 | | 22 | 0 | 7 | 7 | 4 | 0 | | 23 | 0 | 10 | 6 | 2 | 0 | | 24 | 0 | 11 | 4 | 3 | 0 | | 25 | 0 | 11 | 3 | 4 | 0 | | 26 | 0 | 13 | 6 | 1 | 0 | | 27 | 0 | 12 | 6 | 2 | 0 | | 28 | 0 | 8 | 10 | 0 | 0 | | 29 | 0 | 12 | 4 | 2 | 0 | | 30 | 0 | 11 | 6 | 1 | 0 | | 31 | 0 | 9 | 8 | 3 | 0 | | 32 | 1 | 11 | 4 | 1 | 1 | | 33 | 1 | 10 | 8 | 1 | 0 | | 34 | 0 | 12 | 6 | 2 | 0 | | 35 | 0 | 15 | 3 | 0 | 0 | | 36 | 4 | 13 | 3 | 0 | 0 | | 37 | 1 | 14 | 4 | 1 | 0 | | 38 | 4 | 10 | 4 | 0 | 0 | | 39 | 2 | 14 | 2 | 2 | 0 | | 40 | 0 | 11 | 9 | 0 | 0 | | 41 | 6 | 7 | 5 | 0 | 0 | | 42 | 5 | 8 | 4 | 1 | 0 | | 43 | 6 | 10 | 2 | 0 | 0 | | 44 | 6 | 9 | 3 | 0 | 0 | | 45 | 9 | 7 | 2 | 0 | 0 | | 46 | 7 | 10 | 1 | 0 | 0 |

1 Generations are arbitrary, inconsistent, and ill defined. I used USCs definitions 3 for no particular reason other than I had to pick something
2 A contestant is counted for each appearance in a season at the age of their appearance in each season. Contestant’s generation was determined by <Year of Filming> minus <Age>. Age and Filming dates were sourced from Wikipedia

President Biden is the First President Elected From The Silent Generation
This is kinda blowing my mind right now.
I know generation bounds can be inconsistent, but I’m using this as the guideline:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation#List_of_social_generations
That puts Clinton, W, Obama, and Trump all as Baby Boomers and Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and HW all as Greatest Generation.
