Why is the word bird required? A kiwi is a kiwi, it’s literally the name of the animal. You don’t say pigeon bird?

Do you have a 401k?

Lol great bait mate

ONLY A FOOL BREAKS THE TWO SECOND RULE

Working for the weekend, man.

A lot of men I know like fatherhood.

I don’t live in the us so I can’t comment on any change that has been or not been.

I do know that privilege itself obscures experience. Compassion and empathy are built on experience. Therefore expecting someone who is privileged to have compassion or empathy to those without the same privilige is unrealistic. They have to be shown, or brought to a point where they can align their experience with others.

exclusively cishet white population who are financially well off.

…there’s your problem.

Why would they care? At worst they’re unaffected. At best they’re benefitting. What is their impetus for change?

no it’s the normal erasure of gen x from the timeline

The timeline goes

Old dead boomers

Dying wealthy boomers

Young poor boomers

Gen y

Millennials

Gen z

Gen alpha

Seems being the operative word here

I think she’s good at seeming

Site size doesn’t matter; prosecution of the actual people who are associated with it still occurs.

There is practically zero risk for users of lemmy instances, but those who host the instance are identifiable through domain registration, hosting or similar.

I don’t blame the admins for acting in self interest - ultimately they’re putting in the effort and wear the risk.

If you don’t agree with it you’re welcome to host your own instance - with blackjack and hookers etc.

Hold on, think this one through.

The admins aren’t worried about jury nullification per se. They’re worried about what regulatory authority can do - shut down the instance, hold admins personally accountable etc - if the instance is classified as a media source + has content which could influence a jury.

This is no different from the advice given to other media outlets globally.

Maybe spin it this way. If the very act of having articles celebrating his actions on lemmy.world means his defense is compromised would you be OK with that?

Vendee global is amazing! I feel like it’s the closest thing to a pure “all rounder” sailing - solo sailors, robust and well-engineered boats that are just smashing it every condition and loving ayvoace as well. I’m subscribed to their updates on YouTube.

So as to the madness of the americas cup - if you look at the sails they each have two wide counter coloured bands on them. when doing boat testing they use upwards facing LIDAR on both sides of the boat to calculate the best sail shape, live, and adjust accordingly. I feel a bit odd about that, I think trimming is one of the fine arts of sailing and to see it automated out is a bit sad. But if you’re doing 45 knots on foils, I guess the fewer jobs the better.

let them ask on the safety and confidential internet

Can’t tell if you’re being facetious or not.

I found it deeply uncomfortable that there’s people who take the direction of an online community and base their real life actions upon it. making choices about their relationships, marriages, csaeeere, health and so on.

For every grain of truth or solid perspective given there are 10 which are pointless or unproductive and ar least a couple which were wrong or dangerous.

None of this is real, its tiny snapshots in a moment of time, stripped of all context but preserved.

Hey did you follow the americas cup this year?

What did you think of the wingsails / twin skins / no boom configuration?

No they haven’t. Thanks for asking.

Per some of the comments above - add urgency, being in / not being in control, exertion are all part of it.

Finishing a half marathon

Attending a concert with 20k other people and singing one of my favourite songs at the top of my lungs

The 30 to 40 seconds after my first experience scuba diving

Surfing, believe it or not. - the feeling of being picked up and pushed forward at the same time, then being in control / out of control and elated at the same time

Dancing in darkness to uplifting music, sometimes even exercising in the dark

Riding downhill trails in the dark (wirh headlight of course)

Plastic straws, clothes pegs, bottle caps, bottle rings.

It’s a bower bird performance centre. Quite literally. They make an area where they can perform for a mate.

They like the colour blue so collect heaps of blue things and decorate their bower with them.

This one has got a bunch of milk bottle caps, milk bottle cap rings, blue plastic straws and what look like pegs.

It sounds funny till you think about stuff that humans do for exactly the same reason (to be “interesting” to a prospective partner)

Bingo. I think that’s the key to it - if you do it with the intent of getting something from someone, people will work that out pretty quickly and resent it. It comes over as being…greasy.

If it’s done from the perspective of having genuine interest, care and empathy it makes it easier to work as a group.
