politics @lemmy.world•Trump signs executive order to shut down bank accountsEnglish
4416·2 days agoBit of a click-baity headline (though not your fault OP).
The sub-heading is clearer:
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order directing the Treasury Department to shut down bank accounts used to support illegal immigration.

Inventor: “DAMN IT, THAT’S THE EXACT SAME ARM, AGAIN!”

World News@lemmy.world•Hundreds arrested and dozens of police injured after Champions League riots in FranceEnglish
11·5 days agoMeanwhile in North London nearly a million Arsenal fans showed up for their clubs Premier League trophy parade, and there were only 16 arrests in total.
Arsenal lost to PSG in the Champions League final on penalties. I can’t imagine the destruction and arrests that would have been in Paris if PSG had lost the final.

Out of the loop@lemmy.world•What's the deal with the constant downvotes on the constantly recycled 'My beloved King' / 'For You, My Hero' / 'For my awesome prince' / etc. community? - EDIT: Did I say something wrong?English
2·5 days agoI just went through my blocked list and found a couple more that I’ve blocked in the past, usually when the user started spamming posts to them. There were other communities following this pattern that I noticed in passing, but I didn’t block them because they weren’t being aggressively posted to. And now they are gone.

1·5 days agoI thought I was the only one who noticed
Same. I was wondering when someone would bring this topic up.
I actually thought about contacting the server owner about this trend, to see if they could curtail it. I’ve seen at least seven of these communities pop up and disappear. It’s getting annoying.

3·5 days agoOh okay. Whoever is behind this has been creating and then deleting these communities for over a year now. I guess I exaggerated a bit before when I said they sound up a new one each week. It’s more like every couple of months. I’ve seen at least seven of them pop up. If one was created on the last couple of weeks then the number of downvotes could be because others are tied of this behavior too.

12·5 days agoI think it’s a single user who is trying to start some sort of a soft core porn community oriented towards women. The attempts keep failing (getting downvoted), so they just spin up a new user account and community (with a subtly different name each time) and try again. Ad nauseum.
It’s getting really annoying. I’ve blocked
severala couple of the accounts and communities. But aweekmonth or two later a new one appears in the new stream.And they are not helping themselves. The more communities they spin up the more downvotes they get, because quite a few people are clearly getting annoyed by this behavior.
I don’t have a problem with them creating such a community. Not my kind of thing, but each to their own. I just wish they’d stick to a single community and take the time to build it up, instead of spinning up new ones all the time.
Edit: fixed some number and date inaccuracies.

cats@lemmy.world•Something strange happened with my cat last night. Something terrified him and I'm trying to figure out what happenedEnglish
3·6 days agoHe might not have known exactly where the danger was, so it just sheltered in place and called for help. Or maybe he just got frozen with fear and scared to move at all.
People talk about ‘fight or flight’. But a third instinct - freeze - can also happen.
Either way, I’m glad your cat is okay.

11·6 days agoYears ago while living in the suburbs, I was literally stalked up a quiet residential street at midnight by a female fox. I was walking my large dog at the time, and the fox was barking at him. Turns out the fox was in heat and thought my dog was a good mating option. It followed us for several minutes. It was pretty freaky because I didn’t recognize the sound but I could see something from about 100 feet away. It looked kind of like a small dog, but sounded unearthly.
So basically: foxes can be incredibly bold animals, even in suburban areas. And this theory seems plausible to me.
Wtf??? Who the fuck authorized this? This is fucking amateur hour on steroids.

politics @lemmy.world•'I was dumb as a rock': Hardcore MAGA couple ditches Trump after getting 'kick in teeth'English
91·8 days agoBoiling down the frustration of me and others in these situation to “you’re just saying I told you so” is facile. We’ve been down the path of “yay, good job on seeing the light! Go you! One of us gobble gobble!” far too many times. And it doesn’t do shit. Like I say, I guess it’s good they finally saw the light. But I’m not going to give this couple a proverbial medal or lavish them with praise for finally seeing the fucking obvious.
And like I say, relaying these stories doesn’t help either. At this point anyone maga who hasn’t realized the error of their ways can only learn through the direct consequence of their action. They won’t change their mind because some maga HUD employee three states over got screwed. That’s not how this works.
Edit: fixed an autocorrect error.

politics @lemmy.world•'I was dumb as a rock': Hardcore MAGA couple ditches Trump after getting 'kick in teeth'English
17·8 days ago“It’s okay to be wrong. You made a mistake, it was a bad choice, but it’s not the end of the world. We can fix it.”
Acknowledging a mistake only works if you them stop making that mistake. And I’m not convinced these or similar people will do that.
How many red flags have they ignored? They didn’t give a shit about other people being screwed over by him. It was only when it affected them that they started to question. He worked for the Federal government and was still bashing the shit out of it. They ignored the January 6th riots. They voted for the this THREE times. This is all typical maga idiocy, and the reason why we’re in such a mess.
I mean, I guess it’s good they’re seeing reality now. But holy shit. And these stories are basically pointless. Anyone who hasn’t pulled their heads out of their asses by now won’t because of other people’s accounts like this. The only thing that will change their minds is personal hardships. And even then it’s a toss-up.







Such baseless assertions don’t help the situation. He should go back to what he’s good at - groveling to Trump and fucking couches.
