Yes, that sounds like a good idea. I'm happy to do so if ladybutterfly agrees

Hey everyone! I'm not quite sure about the name of the community, might need a bit of workshopping there. Feel free to speak up if you have a suggestion for it!

So, about the comm. !Comicstrips@lemmy.world is doing great, but recently it's been pretty heavy on political stuff. Largely US-centric politics, to boot. There's no easy way to get just the funnies that I want from there, so here we are! I'll try to curate and repost the funny stuff I see in my daily activities, but I hope you guys will pitch in with me! Even just commenting will be greatly appreciated!

This is very much a work in progress, so please share any thoughts and feedback you have.

Well, common in certain circles. Definitely cryptic for everybody else, though.

Pretty much the opposite actually. Trump's in power, why would his supporters fear being vocal right now

I get mods doing it, but if you're an instance admin there's really no reason not to just turn off downvotes

Speak for the Americans. The rest of us have no trouble doing so

[-] Dupelet@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

Or move outside the US

I didn't imply ALL of them thought the same way. My point was that Americans still have the freedom to speak up (for now)

[-] Dupelet@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

That will be an important lesson

[-] Dupelet@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

So are non Americans

Doubtful it was because of the topic of your video, that's the sort of stuff .ml laps up. It looks like you've been on lemmy for 2 years, surely you're aware of the reputation .ml has for banning users on a whim?

Plenty of people love Sanderson and Mistborn, no need to yuck somebody else's yum.

I've been away from thunder for a few months (some bug or other that was affecting me badly at the time), and it's cool to see how much the app has progressed since.

TLDR:

The agency’s latest World Energy Outlook, a comprehensive report on global energy trends, still includes its previous “stated policies” scenario, essentially projecting that countries will continue enacting policies that help tackle climate change and adopting solar panels, wind turbines and electric vehicles at a rapid clip, potentially leading to a decline or plateau in the use of oil, gas and coal by 2035.

Unlike last year, however, the agency is also including a more conservative “current policies” scenario that assumes countries won’t enact any additional energy policies and will face obstacles in shifting to cleaner forms of power. The Trump administration had pressured the agency to include this scenario, which sees oil and gas demand rising steadily through 2050, leading to significantly more global warming.
