“The first episode was aired on 9 December 1960 at 7 pm, and was not initially a critical success; Daily Mirror columnist Ken Irwin claimed the series would only last three weeks.”
Money is not really fake, it’s a contract amongst us to trade and remember what we owe each other. Speculation and stock market is fake.
And what do you mean society isn’t natural? It’s exactly that.
The only way it could be is if you oppose natural with man made/related, but then the birth of a child is unnatural. It’s a stupid definition.
Natural is related to nature, and as far as i’m concerned human beings are part of it, everything we create is natural and to think otherwise is to think we’re above our own biology and determinism.
And yeah the sun is not gonna explode anytime soon.
So take it easy but when it’s called for and for the right reasons.
Not to come off as agreeing with the post, but I believe, from seeing other stuff, that “society isn’t natural” is short-hand for saying that humans evolved to exist in small groups of dozens of people who have to deal with, maybe, several dozen other similar groups of people. Thus it is not in our evolved nature to exist in the massive society of today.
Good point. Natural aint exactly biological but it’s closer and raise an important problem.
We did evolve into bigger society. That’s natural too, resources and services are easier to get with the more people.
On many levels our biology didn’t follow how quickly we invented new way to survive.
The point isn’t to discard society as unnatural of course, but you’re right to acknowledge the problem of our biology. We do need to reconcile the two.
The internet is a prime example of that, intercommunication brought a lot of fracturing of ideologies into smaller groups for example, and a lot of conflict.
I believe in that regard federated Lemmy might be a step on the right direction for social medias.
Christmas gifts unless you actually communicate and confirm what someone wants (which based on my culture can be seen as rude) seems so pointless. Just buying short term garbage for the sake of “giving”.
But then it becomes pointless. If you’re both giving each other a wad of $50 for Christmas, what’s the point of doing it at all? You’re giving each other the exact same thing.
Eh, as i get older I kinda like the small gesture, and there are plenty of small things that show you care that virtually anyone can make use of:
Some good, high quality snacks or sweets they like but usually don’t buy for themselves because it’s a bit indulgent. Their favorite liquor. A pair of nice comfy socks maybe.
ML was the first instance, they created an account there first and jumped from instance to instance until they ended up where they are, leaving the original instance completely neglected. It’s quite a literal interpretation of the meme format, which you don’t often see.
You can check what a particular instance is federating and blocking at any time by visiting the instance page. Here is the one for lemmy.world lemmy.world/instances
Notably, it looks like they are federating with dbzer0 again.
Thanks for the information. This is putting me off on Lemmy a bit, feels like I got to keep up with the latest instance drama to ensure I have a good experience.
Guess that’s the trade of with a decentralized system for now.
Same, I use World and in the Boost app I just select all or subscribed instead of local and I definitely still see the piracy community that I’m subscribed to 🤷♂️
Calling hexbear a “trans instance” is pretty misleading. They’re explicitly political first and foremost, and happen to have a high concentration of trans/queer users. They were defederated by .world for being overbearing and disruptive, not because of their transness or queerness. Blahaj zone, by comparison, is explicitly a trans instance first and foremost, and is still federated by .world.
I had to leave lemm.ee because they didn’t defederate from hexbear, any even slightly political post got spammed with 300 giant shock images, plus they suffer from the nazi bar syndrome but with tankies instead of nazis
I’m not really here to argue whether or not the defederation of dbzer0, hexbear, or lemmy grad was appropriate by world or the defederation of world by beehaw. I just wanted to have the option of seeing content from all those instances and I’m clearly not the only one.
This is the great thing about federation though right? You can just sign up to another instance and see their content. Personally I think it’s nice that there’s a large instance that’s free of them, sometimes it’s exhausting going through their annoying comments.
I assume when everyone talks about hexbear being annoying, they refer to the comment images or whatever, but I’ve been using Voyager (previously wefwef) this whole time and it’s always had those as a link by default so they don’t clutter up the comments for me.
Hexbear was defederated from world for the same reason they defederated from lemmygrad; the admins of world are anticommunists. You can make a very easy argument for banning hexbear for their toxic users, but the same can’t be said for lemmygrad who are way chiller.
I seem to remember that given as the official reason, and there were certainly plenty of complaints along those lines. Whether that was a convenient excuse for anti-communist schemes or the actual reason I don’t know. Most likely it was some of both, at least in the case of hexbear.
This is the best thing about having kids as they get a little older. I put one gift under the tree labeled, “To: Billy and Dad; From: Dad.” My wife wants nothing to do with a 2-player historic war board game about the battle of Stalingrad and the difficult choices commanders must make. My oldest, 11-years, loves military history and war games. I could not lie, though. I was buying it for me and not just for him.
