Age is a factor sure. But Democrats need to stop being centrists and move left if they have any hope in appealing to the masses. The DNC needs to also reflect this change. Otherwise they’ll just push for a moderate like Biden again.

Many are hoping that Canada will get special treatment, particularly on oil.

Didn’t Trump impose tariffs on Canada during his first presidency? Pretty sure he’s going to do it again.

I learned the other day that beehaw blocks lemmy.world due to the amount of bad faith actors in that instance and it got me curious so I decided to block it in my settings last night. It’s a bit of weird move for me personally as I’ve always been one to say that blocking should only be used as a last resort. But I wanted to make myself contribute to some of the smaller instances as I dislike how so much is centralized at LW.

Has anyone on here done something similar? I’m curious to hear other peoples thoughts on the matter.

A flight from Israel to the US is mainly over the Atlantic. Not sure if diverting it to a nearby country is an option.

If they don’t comply that is going to play into Putin’s hands and piss off Europe.

How so?

I personally doubt Trump will comply either. Israel has deep pockets and Trump loves money. But guessing what Trump would do is a very difficult thing to do to be fair. I could be wrong on this.

Trump has said he will end the war, without saying how, and criticised billions of dollars in aid for Ukraine under Biden. The warring sides believe Trump is likely to push for peace talks - not known to have been held since the war’s earliest months - and are trying to attain strong positions before negotiations.

That’s interesting. I would imagine it’s more true for Ukraine than Russia. Everyone knows Trump is going to take Russia’s side in this conflict.

It’s a warning. The US allowed Ukraine to hit Russian territory so Russia is saying we can escalate it right back.

Some military experts said the ICBM launch, if confirmed, could be seen as an act of deterrence by Moscow following Kyiv’s strikes into Russia with Western weapons this week.

“An ICBM launch can certainly be seen as a threatening gesture, potentially in response to the lifting of restrictions on ATACMS and Storm Shadow. It’s a means of deterrence,” said a European military source.

Layovers? For the PM of Israel? What is he? Lower-middle class?

America is not part of the ICC, they have no legal obligation to comply. Nor would they. Betraying or abandoning one of their assets would not be a good look.

Hope they have free parking lol.

I’m actually surprised. I didn’t think they would actually do it. It’s unlikely to lead anywhere, but this is still a big step.

The guiding principle is: Untrue factual statements are illegal. Expression of opinion is permissible up to the limit of “abusive criticism”.

In contrast expressions of opinion enjoy fundamental constitutional protection and are thus generally admissible.

The injunctive relief (i.e., an interim injunction), which is obtained by a court’s cease and desist order, may stop an unlawful publication that already took place or is imminent. An injunction is of specific practical importance and can provide fast and effective protection from imminent dam-age. The injunctive relief may address both unlawful texts and impermissible photos or film. It is used in the event of written reporting not only to protect a person against false allegations of facts but – in cases of privacy invasion – also against the expression of opinion. The court’s cease and desist order prohibits the publication of illegal content by a media company.

Yeah, not buying it. Relax buddy. A lot worse has been said online. People are allowed to express their opinions.

Just squint at the screen the way your ancestors did.

Ita a new user who is figuring out how Lemmy works. Marxism, or any political opinion for that matter, is not mentioned anywhere there.

Again, defamation is a big stretch and the US laws don’t matter in Lemmy. .world is hosted in Europe.

Because the game was incredibly successful and other companies tried to copy the formula. The same reason a lot of companies tried to copy Fortnite or League of Legends.

Could be a case of them interviewing a lot of people. Keep in mind a lot of people go on vacation this time of year and depending on the company/industry it could also mean this is peak season for them. I wouldn’t look too much into it.

Best of luck, hope you get it.

Yes, we clearly do.

I don’t see that as any kind of abuse of power.

As an individual action and for majority of users, I would agree with you. But given how FlyingSquid behaved after being asked not to over-report comments and then proceeded to say how they’re not going to report anymore, they don’t feel safe or welcome in c/news, and views it as hostile. Their treatment of the user in the post I linked just comes across as being very abusive. If FlyingSquid viewed what Blackbeard so badly, what does that say about about their treatment of users in the communities they mod when they approach with much more hostility?

Defamation is not against the rules and sounds like quite a bit of a stretch. No one on Lemmy is capable of defaming anyone even remotely that famous. It’s clearly an example of frivolous reporting.
