Other instances hosted outside of Russia but available from inside Russia can still federated with them, though, right?

What do you mean by a “dismissive parenting style”?

the nose is maybe strangely small, lips are a little off-putting

Well, I mean… It’s not THAT far off, is it?

I found a source that supports your “almost half” number for microplastics contribution from synthetic clothing.

Source

The source is a little lacking in that they don’t have real numbers for synthetic textile contribution to microplastics, just the overall contribution of textiles to micropolution, but they do talk about the relationships between the two.

I keep hearing random statistics about sources of microplastics and have no idea what to believe at this point. Just yesterday I saw something saying that 78% of microplastics come from tires.

I’m fairly sure that the admins of lemmy.world said that we could expect a big spike in active users after the upgrade to 1.19 due to a change in how active users are calculated. I can’t seem to find the post now, though.

I think it is hard to find sources that firmly support the charge of genocide but I also think it is an argument with having. Most, if not all sources are biased in one way or another and can be discounted if you don’t like their particular bias.

That said, some, like Amnisty International, think that not allowing aid into Gaza is a genocidal act which seems like a reasonable argument when children are dying of starvation and aid is being blocked.

Human Rights Watch has another good article describing ways in which Isreal is complying with the IJC orders to recuce civilian casualties.

the court ordered Israel on January 26, 2024, to “take immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian aid,” and to report back on its compliance to the specific measures “within one month.”

One month later, however, Israel continues to obstruct the provision of basic services and the entry and distribution within Gaza of fuel and lifesaving aid, acts of collective punishment that amount to war crimes and include the use of starvation of civilians as a weapon of war.

I recognize that these sources are biased but i think you’d be hard pressed to find a source that isn’t biased with respect to this conflict. Lack of coverage of atrocities is, itself, a form of bias.

Personally, I’d say that at least a portion of what is happening in Gaza could be considered to be genocide. It doesn’t appear that Isreal has done much to mitigate civilian deaths and may be actively trying to increase the civilian death toll.

It seems like they need another dose of awe. I haven’t needed to do this in a few years.

Button clicks softly. Button clicks softly. Button clicks softly several times…

Ummm, what’s going on here? It should have plebtky of juice left. I haven’t used it in ages!

Metal grinding on metal.

Shit… The battery is corroded!

Burn him! Burn the witch!

Hah, oops, I thought you meant that you learned this lesson as a non native english speaker! I must have misunderstood.

Out of curiosity, how would you say “this saturday” and “next saturday” in your native language and what would the literal translation be?

That sounds like a reasonable way to handle it. Federated communities within federated instances.

Maybe there should be an option to join the various conversations together if a user wants to see more content. That sounds pretty difficult to manage, though.

I wonder if Reddit could be held legally liable for trafficking in CP in that case. They were explicitly told “this is CP and should be deleted” and they didn’t act.

I think I’d start by looking at the rental agreement to get a better understanding of your and the company’s responsibilities under it. Then, if the terms were in my favor, I’d call them back and wave their terms of service in their face until they fix the problem. If the terms weren’t in my favor I’d remind myself that contract is written by the company and may or may not be enforceable. Then I’d call them and politely ask to speak with a manager. Tell them the story, say “I know this isn’t your fault but it is very frustrating” and hope they’ll actually do something. Finally, if they won’t do anything, I’d email corporate, write bad reviews on Google, yelp, and anywhere else I can think of as well as file a complaint with the BBB for both the local business and the large national business.

If that doesn’t get their attention I don’t know what will without spending more than you’ve lost.
