Props, keep up the good work!

I will try and do the same, hahaha

Awesome!

Thanks for the additional information, about INSTC!

New of BRICS and going away from petrodollar, it will be in the history books, if allowed.

Interesting news keeps coming out.

India has been ramping up purchases of both coking and thermal coal from Russia since Moscow redirected exports from EU countries and offered substantial discounts to Asian buyers. Despite its efforts to expand renewable energy projects, India continues to rely heavily on coal as its primary source of power generation. Huge increase in Russian coal exports to India

Consulting firm Yakov and Partners (formerly McKinsey Russia) has projected that India will surpass China as the top buyer of Russian coal within the next decade.

Moscow is seeking to both ensure interconnectivity throughout the INSTC and launch regular freight shipping lines, President Vladimir Putin has said. The volume of goods shipped via the INSTC is expected to almost triple over the next seven years. The Russian leader has suggested establishing a logistics hub for the corridor on the African coast.

Nice!

Some may say, hobnobble…

Does not sound as good as yours though, hahaha

What about the Hobble…, half-hobbyte…?

Thanks for clarifying and going further into explaining your views to us!

Some people can be seen as being a dreamer[1], I see myself as such a person, I try to stay hopeful, I see it as a much more positive way of living in the world; as well as much healthier for our mental health

Lemmy as a niche platform not one that appeals the masses

Yes, Lemmy is currently a niche platform, but that is how many start off, it takes time and much effort to grow a community.

It is similar to grassroots movements, where people that are leaders or learn to become one are willing to speak with anyone for a cause they feel strongly about, and they start to grow slowly.

I see lemmy in that phase or light, where most activity will be from people that are willing to throw themselves out there and share their favorite hobbies and put in the energy to interact with strangers (whether it may be apositive or negative interaction is another thing).

It takes time for people to come out of their shells and to start being active on forums as well, hopefully in Lemmy we give people that opportunity to grow as people and to take chances to meet and discuss any topic with strangers.

A few dedicated people can’t foster a genuine community out of sheer enthusiasm.

Well, it takes a few to start something new, in my eyes all important causes and projects start with a few people just having fun or putting the time to create something new.

To accomplish anything in life, it will take time and a lot of energy and people willing to do that.

I just don’t personally see that happening.

It is okay to see the world in that way, but just putting a bit of effort into sharing or creating a community that you like, will help improve the community.

Activity would increase, if you create a community or decide to share more of your hobbies and opinions within those communities.

If the communities would be liked by Lemmurs or not, it is another matter, but in the end of the day we all have our own way of seeing the world and we can have discussions with people that are willing to share their views as well.

The only way we can continue to grow as people, is by forcing ourselves to push against our own bias and to keep talking with people that do not think or agree with what we have to say.

Much text to read, here is a Lemmur for a fun pic:

Change is not easy, it takes time and people willing to help foster that new change.

I am one of those people that is really into politics, but I try to interact with other communities once in a while!

It is an election year, so politics is always in an all time high on any forums and social media.

I suggest, if you are willing, to step up your game and be really active in the communites you would like to see flourish.

It may be lonely, but it tends to be when starting new things!

We are all trying the best we can, when we can, I give props to the lemmyverse and fediverse for all they do!

Thanks for posting, even if you used a burner account!

Glenn Greenwald breaks down the recent Reuters report that revealed how the Pentagon launched a disinformation campaign to discredit the Chinese Sinovac inoculation.

Alternatives of integrity are desperately needed, and we are one of them, proof being that with decidedly limited resources, we have attracted readers from around the world who have viewed our content more than 13 million times. We are honored to have your support to continue doing this work.

Dozens of people, dozens!

A good amount, a lot of the elite and people with social influence share information, while the people also share news pretty quickly.

I know will enough, some may be false or not confirmed, but helpers are always willing to call it out when they learn and try to share that knowledge with us.

Edit: seperated quote, to make more sense, bottom quote is under image

You are correct:

If you look at the article, it has the following under the image you are talking about:

A man standing next to a pool in a scene from the ‘Top Vine Ice Bucket Challenge’ compilation video on YouTube.

Vine helped the Ice Bucket Challenge — which raised money for ALS — go viral. At its peak, around 200 million people used the app which had Twitter integration. Vines Collections/Youtube

“We are horrified by this deadly event, which shows once again that nowhere is safe,” said MSF on social media.

The images out of Rafah on Sunday included videos of tents being engulfed in flames and charred corpses, and one showed a man holding up what appeared to be the body of a small child who had been beheaded. NBC News reported that it “was not able to independently verify the situation on the ground.”

“This U.S.-backed massacre of civilians is a direct result of the Biden administration’s enduring political and military support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza,” said Nihad Awad, national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, on Monday. “The Palestinian child shown without a head would still be alive today had our government not offered Israel’s far-right government unceasing support for the slaughter of Palestinian civilians and the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Those who support genocide are just as guilty as those who drop American-supplied bombs on civilians.”

As major news outlets like The New York Times and The Washington Post buried the news of the attack under unrelated stories, journalist Mehdi Hasan condemned the silence of the Biden administration and the “U.S. political and media establishments.”

Jan Egeland, secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council, directed ire at European Union leaders who have continued to back Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, demanding to know “how many more red lines must be crossed before the E.U. decides to act?”

“The U.S. government has facilitated this genocide by continuously sending weapons and funding to the Israeli military, despite mass opposition from the American people,” the group added. “We hold the U.S. government, in addition to the Israeli government, responsible for the slaughter of over 36,000 Palestinians, for the siege and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza, and for mass destruction of infrastructure and land. We demand an end to all U.S. funding to the Israeli military now. People of conscience throughout the world are calling for an end to genocide.”

Sadly, in the case with Alf, it did not mean satisfying (or trying to) your partner in the oral manner, if following the context.

I can’t agrue with that logic!

Including more pictures of cute pets should/have never made an article much worse then having too little!

Oh, it works!

Thanks!

Awesome!

It seems to be the same as the one above, at the end where it says “source:”.

The researchers — made up of scientists and animal welfare advocates — revealed this new cat in a study published earlier this month in the journal Animal Genetics and gave its uncommon cat coloring the name salmiak, after a popular salty licorice in Finnish, to invoke the salt and pepper fur of this kitty.

Research was “First published: 09 May 2024”

Abstract

Cats with a distinctive white hair pattern of unknown molecular cause have been discovered in the Finnish domestic cat population. Based on the unique appearance of these cats, we have named this phenotype salmiak (“salty licorice”). The use of a commercially available panel test to genotype four salmiak-colored cats revealed the absence of all known variants associated with white-haired phenotypic loci: full White (W), Spotting (Ws) and the Birman white Gloves associated (wg) allele of the KIT proto-oncogene (KIT) gene. Whole-genome sequencing on two salmiak-colored cats was conducted to search for candidate causal variants in the KIT gene. Despite a lack of coding variants, visual inspection of the short read alignments revealed a large ~95 kb deletion located ~65 kb downstream of the KIT gene in the salmiak cats. Additional PCR genotyping of 180 domestic cats and three salmiak-colored cats confirmed the homozygous derived variant genotype fully concordant with the salmiak phenotype. We suggest the newly identified variant be designated as wsal for “w salmiak”.

pretty sure when this mofo released classified information,there are innocent people who died because of his act.

I would suggest to do your own research and look into independent sources.

This are just smears and propaganda used against him, by the duopoly and legacy media, so as to make him look like the bogeyman.
