Hell yeaaaah

Ba'alunders

Also, if the LW community team could avoid mower tripping to try to xintimidate" me when I post elsewhere than LW or whatever that was: https://lemmy.world/post/24489154

When you have a long history of starting shit with .world, your actions will increasingly be interpreted in a negative light - including when you don't mean them to be negative.

They also admitted that they consider Federation to be a “divorce feature” and that the best experience is centralized

Federation is a feature like divorce is a feature. It’s extremely important that it exists and is accessible. Not everybody needs to do it. Other servers are a fine option if you know what you’re doing and are willing to deal with more issues OR if there’s a compelling reason (such as the various regional servers).

Okay?

I respect the sysadmins work, but some people in the LW community should really reassess their stance towards centralization and other instances.

Considering you are constantly picking fights with the comm team over the pettiest shit (and I don't mean to give them a pass, considering they engage on said petty shit with equal vigor), gonna press X to doubt.

Shitwit can't wait to start tonguing Putin's ass.

“Peace” on terms of the aggressor is called a capitulation and would only encourage all current and future aggressors. Free world must stand up to the evil," he wrote.

Pavel being based as usual. I have no idea what he's like domestically, but he's been a bright ray on the Ukraine War ever since he was elected.

The bireme and trireme were ancient Greek vessels defined by their numbers of rows of oarsmen - two for biremes, three for triremes. There were some less common variants with more, and more, and more rows of oarsmen, for bigger and more impressive ships. One gets the sense that it got a bit excessive after a point...

Tessarakonteres (Greek: τεσσαρακοντήρης, "forty-rowed"), or simply "forty", was a very large catamaran galley reportedly built in the Hellenistic period by Ptolemy IV Philopator of Egypt. It was described by a number of ancient sources, including a lost work by Callixenus of Rhodes and surviving texts by Athenaeus and Plutarch. According to these descriptions, supported by modern research by Lionel Casson, the enormous size of the vessel made it impractical and it was built only as a prestige vessel, rather than an effective warship. The name "forty" refers not to the number of oars, but to the number of rowers on each vertical "column" of oars that propelled it, and at the size described it would have been the largest ship constructed in antiquity, and probably the largest human-powered vessel ever built.

Blaze hates .world with a passion.

So what about all the people who were banned from blahaj back in december for dissent?

What 196 are they supposed to use?

Explanation: From wiki, The Battle of Dbrivka during WW1, a formative period for Ukrainian national consciousness...

Makhno and Shchus selected 30 men to carry out the attack [against 700 enemies], which was to take place during the day, while the Austrians were resting.[16] Shchus led his smaller detachment to flank from the other side of the village and prepare a Maxim gun for flanking fire. Makhno's larger detachment covertly approached the town square with a Lewis gun, undetected by the Austrians. Most of the Austrian detachment was wiped out in the crossfire. Others turned and fled in a panic.[17] Retreating towards Pokrovske, the Austrians were pursued and captured by the local peasantry, who were themselves armed only with pitchforks. Makhno himself prevented the peasantry from lynching the Austrians.[18]

In the course of the battle, the insurgents managed to capture four machine guns, two truckloads of ammunition and 80 prisoners of war. The captured members of the Ukrainian State Guard and local collaborationist landowners were executed, while the captured Austrians were fed and released on condition of their demilitarisation, stripping them of their kepis before sending them on their way.[19] For his role in their victory, the insurgents bestowed Makhno with the title Batko (Father), which remained his moniker throughout the remainder of the war.[20]

Also, fuck, Makhno looks so different without his mustache.

Half of it is just me venting.

Christ. Seeing people day-to-day pretending everything is fine when the topic of politics comes up? Just some mild annoyance?

I wish I was as blinkered as them some days.

I wish we would.

Despite that massive investment, we still have, and are projected to remain having, problems in many parts of the country supplying clean water to marginalized communities. Plumbing ain't cheap.

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the majority of tap water in the country already safe?

Yep. Which goes to show just how expensive uprooting and replacing the remainder is - not to mention maintaining the existing infrastructure.

Highlighting their hypocrisies is always a good move
