folaht@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•When do we start saying the 00s, the 10s, 20s and 30s?3·5 hours ago
folaht@lemmy.mlOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Imagine the US holding a "Cost-of-living crisis" protest of 100+ million. Even the army and police protest. You are tasked with making *the* list of demands. What would be on this list?1·1 day agoThere would always be loyal followers, plus oligarchs with lots of drones who all want to maintain power.
folaht@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•what's something from Reddit that you hope we never see on Lemmy?41·4 days agoSubreddits that do not represent the title and instead hate it.
I’m looking at you /r/china.
That would be for North America,
but I disagree considering where the name America likely came from,
not Albericus Vespucci, but from a Mayan mountainous region named Amerrisque,
“land where the wind blows constantly” and perhaps combined with the Spanish word “rica/rich”,
because those mountains were rich with gold at that time.And I think that name is more fitting than ‘Turtle Island’ to be honest.
North America has a lot of hurricanes and tornadoes.
And it’s rich with resources.South America needs a rename though.
folaht@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Trump ‘threatens to stop’ weapons for Ukraine unless Europe joins Hormuz coalition201·6 days agoNo it’s
- Trump and Netanyahu attack Iran because they are rabid fascists, worse than Hitler
- Iran defends itself and closes the Strait
- Trump doesn’t realize that he is too weak, but he notices that things aren’t going his way
- His European vassals do realize that their master going mad after his illegal invasion to annex and genocide of Iran, consisting of ~20 times the population of the holocaust killed is a bit of a bad look, not because of the amount of people they try to kill, but because they see the US failing and Iran was their main supplier of oil and gas together with all the Middle Eastern nations that are blocked from exporting their oil and gas, while being at war with the previous other main supplier Russia, and tell themselves that it’s not “not their war”, so they refuse to help
- Trump is mad at his European vassals, who now refuse to fully starve themselves to death for him or jump into molten hot lava to in order to cool a volcano, instead of the usual squirming that they do more often and far deeper for Usonians than the average worm does its entire life.
- He now threatens his vassals that he’s going to “close the club” hoping his vassals will further squirm for him in panic and beg him to sacrifice their lives at the altar of the Usonian blood cult
folaht@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Iran has reportedly launched retaliatory strikes against Israel1·7 days agoHow can they be indigenous when they didn’t live there before 1947?
Their ancestors lived there way before 1947. That’s the whole point.
And thus all other questions can be answered the other way around.They should get jailtime for shooting though.
And pay up for the damage, relocation, etcetera.
folaht@lemmy.mlOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you see yellow, magenta and cyan the same way as I do?2·7 days agoGreat!
Than we probably see the same green as green.
Yellow looks a lot more than green to me than red.
folaht@lemmy.mlOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you see yellow, magenta and cyan the same way as I do?1·7 days agoI think most of us are seeing it similarly. We certainly do.
Your answers are the same as mine.I don’t see anyone answering
- Yellow
- Cyan
- Magenta
- Magenta
- Yellow
So I’m guessing that everyone sees the same kind of green and blue,
with green being the brightest of the three and blue the darkest.
folaht@lemmy.mlOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you see yellow, magenta and cyan the same way as I do?1·7 days agoCould you imagine someone else lumping it with either of the two colors?
And if so, which color would you consider more likely that person lumping it in with?
Liberal is against bigotry of any kind. That’s a core foundation. It supports equality.
The core foundation of liberalism is capitalism.
They are the party of merchants and lawmakers
that rebelled against against the kings and theocrats of their time.Since the US has just two parties by design, it makes both parties tent parties,
that is to say that there’s multiple parties of different ideologies inside the party.The way I look at it is that the US democratic party went from
white supremacist to social democratic (Kennedy) to liberal (Clinton).Republicans are currently dominated by Zion-Anglo male supremacist racists together with other pro-white racists.
Why are you under the impression that only ***pro-***white racist are alt right and all other kinds are liberals?
Because most other kinds are being suppressed by the pro-white racists, so they’re not going to join the Republican party.
One of the few that still joins forces with the Republicans, for example Zionists or Falun Dafa, assume that they can rule over them.You can hate whites. Mexicans. Jews. Men, etc. Any support of group discrimination is right wing by its definition because liberals specifically is against bigotry.
It’s socialists that are against bigotry.
Liberal are just capitalists.
folaht@lemmy.mlOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you see yellow, magenta and cyan the same way as I do?2·8 days agoYellow as the most in-between color?
folaht@lemmy.mlOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you see yellow, magenta and cyan the same way as I do?1·8 days agoLooks like all the answers are a bit like this, apart from the colorblind ones.
I guess this solves the question whether everyone sees the same red, green and blue as I do.

I guess you live in Denmark?
Netherlands here. There’s fascist parties all over Europe.
We right now have at least 4 of them.
folaht@lemmy.mlto Europe@lemmy.ml•[Video] German Chancellor Merz says Israel is as much of a victim as Ukraine11·8 days agoIt was EU membership that Zelensky desperately wanted, not NATO.
That permeated throughout his entire presidency and his show.
2000s were awful in my view.
Slow technological progress compared to the fast-paced changes during the 1990s.
I was constantly frustrated by subpar technologies that took one leap upwards and five steps back.
CD-Rs that could not be rewritten,
LCD screens that you could not view from the side and had these washed-out colors,
and people actually complained when those colors improved in the 2010s with LED
because “we don’t like those candy colors”
Slow internet that kept being slow as webpages got larger faster.
The whole decade should have been condensed to a year.
The only good thing about it was that computer parts were cheap.
And anime.
The 2010s picked up the pace and the 2020s are just crazy,
maybe even faster paced than the 1990s.
