livus, 1 year ago to mildlyinteresting in in Australia, when we pay taxes, we get a receipt. The receipt shows what our taxes were spent on

I wish we had it in New Zealand too. I get tired of people's hallucinations about tax.

livus, 1 year ago to asklemmy in should we be worried about powers-moderators/users?

I mean I don't fully agree with your quote, but permabanning you over that is weird.

Either they were on a powertrip or else they lost a young loved one to covid and were still raw about it.

livus, 1 year ago to asklemmy in What are some of the things you say / think to yourself when going through a hard time or dealing with uncertainty to help yourself along?

" Fall down 7 times, stand up 8 times."

livus, 1 year ago to asklemmy in What would you call a monarchist government where multiple families rules in turns?

Sounds like an aristocratic oligarchy to me.

livus, 1 year ago to asklemmy in Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?

Basically photoshop and games. I was dual booting and when I switched computer it wasn't worth reinstalling because I spent most of my time in windows. This was a long time ago.

Now that windows is moving into subscription basis I keep thinking I should try getting into linux again but I don't have the time to fiddle around making stuff work.

livus, 1 year ago to RedditMigration in Reddit kills awards and coins

Kbin already has this covered. We can pay monthly to keep servers running via

Patreon and Liberapay.

@Ernest has transferred the existing Buy Me A Coffee money over to the server fund and from this point on we really can buy him a beer via Buy Me A Coffee which is cool!

livus, 1 year ago to asklemmy in What's something you'd change in men's fashion, given the chance?

I will be happy with just +30 resistance to frost and +60 resistance to being fired.

livus, 1 year ago to asklemmy in I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?

Downthread they say they will also do a lot of walking. It does sound like some sort of... "informal migration" scheme.

livus, 1 year ago to asklemmy in Teaching children about online manipulation without creating a paranoid world view subject to manipulation?

Instead of focusing on specifics (online, "they") focus on the basics.

Where does any piece of information come from? What are the underlying assumptions in it? How is it framed? How is it circulated? What effect does it have? Etc. If people automatically think critically, they are way less susceptible.

livus, 8 months ago to movies in which movie has Danny trejo's best acting?

Haven't seen them all, but I'm going to pick Machete.

livus, 9 months ago (edited 8 months ago) to news in Satellite imagery and video shows some Gaza cemeteries razed by Israeli forces

Here is a Ghost Archive link to the original story which includes satelite imagery.

They were bulldozed to flat, featureless earth, the word "razed" is accurate in this context.

livus, 9 months ago to asklemmy in What would be some of your top choices of things to see if you were the size of an ant?

@Bunnylux really. Here's an article on it.

livus, 9 months ago to asklemmy in What would be some of your top choices of things to see if you were the size of an ant?

@Gamers_Mate I've been pretty good to ants over the years so I was hoping they would recognise me from that. :)

livus, 9 months ago (edited 9 months ago) to news in You wanted a multipolar world? You got chaos. [Edit: Do Hamas represent Palestinians?]

@Stormyfemme I don't know, but it's pretty odd.

fosforus effectively just argued that the population of Gaza has been growing since Oct 7, which is a pretty absurd claim under the circumstances.

(As well as being based on a fallacious idea that attempted genocides have to be successful in order to count).
