What choice did they realistically have?

Victim blaming as it is. The choice was not to murder people.

I actually encountered a cougar on a trail a week ago. So fucking scary. It's huge.

In this NBC interview Hamas spokesperson said that he likes to see all those protests among western world, and this is a good result of the October 7th attack.

How does that make you feel?

Well, the original source is Russia Today, which is arguably worse. Reuters and BBC didn't happen to take an interview with this person during his Moscow visit.

Charles Whitman — Texas Sniper. Killed 14 people in 1966. Autopsy found a brain tumor pressing the amygdala, which presumably caused uncontrollable "fight or flight" response.

Abu Marzouk, one of Hamas leaders, after visiting Moscow:

we look at Russia as our closest friend

[-] qnick@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

That's interesting considering that Hamas is one of the closest allies of the Kremlin.

Nobody name their new product Gitler for some reason. Such a good name.

"Kill your masters" T-shirts and bumper stickers are already a thing. I wonder how long it'll take to see similar stuff for landlords.

Prigozhin allegedly had a massive influence on 2016 USA elections with his troll farms.

I don't think Kremlin gave up on the 2024 elections, it's just now they have Musk.

The community is mostly educational, without explicitly expressed favour to one or another political view.

Opinions and discussions are welcomed too, but without agreement on terminology it doesn't make much sense, so currently I only make posts with some general knowledge sharing.

Instead of one-to-one connection it implements one-to-many. Theoretically it can significantly reduce costs of self-hosted instances, increasing speed and reliability.

As an introvert, I usually don't have any problems being alone and not communicating with other people. I'm pretty sure many of you can relate on this.

But when you look at it on a big scale, you might notice some unexpected problems with the introverted society. While we sit in our personal informational bubbles, we are losing ability to cooperate and organize into communities. This gives a big advandage to billionaires, politicians, and other "elites", and they use this advantage to gain even more power.

This is almost a physics law, and it's fully described in a book "The Narrow Corridor".

But this post is not about the book, and not about confrontation between the State and Society. It's about how I decided to address the problem by creating a game, that simulates that confrontation. The idea is if people had a gaming experience of fighting together against inequality and injustice, it would be easier for them to do it in real life.

What I found during developing the game is: it's nearly impossible to develop it alone. Big surprise. The kickstarter project didn't take off, and the friends of mine, even those who liked the project, didn't like it enough to participate.

So if you have any thoughts of how and where to find people willing to be engaged in this, please tell me, because I'm out of ideas.

TLDR; I'm developing a game that teaches people how to cooperate, and I cannot find anyone to cooperate with
