I strongly advocate for greater legal accountability for individuals in positions of power, and I am open to the possibility of future charges being brought against President Biden. It is important to acknowledge that numerous US presidents, regardless of party affiliation, probably should face charges related to war crimes. Nevertheless, I recognize the significance of establishing a precedent that former presidents are subject to the law, and I wholeheartedly support such a development.

I was about to say the same, I have only been here a couple of days, but I like the community here, regrettably I also like the communities on some other instances. I really wish there were better solutions for this because as long as another instance can still interact with Beehaw then I may end up using that one more often. Hard to tell right now, since I expect many other instances are dealing with similar issues right now.

 

The personal data of millions of Turkish citizens, including their addresses, phone numbers and property ownership information, has been exposed on an internet website, Deutsche Welle Turkish service reported on Friday, raising serious concerns about data security.

This is what I would do, unless your friend is already fediverse knowledgeable. If you have knowledge about what subreddit they enjoyed the most you can use the community browser to find what instance has the largest similar community and show them that. https://browse.feddit.de

I mean the middle bottom one could be considered an animal… a deceased one but still.

Reminds me of the "Polaroid Story"

The company that owns the Polaroid brand and IP, PLR IP Holdings, LLC, was just sold by an ownership group led by the Pohlad family to an ownership group led by the Smolokowski family. The Pohlad family, which owns the Minnesota Twins baseball team, purchased its majority stake in Polaroid back in December 2014 for $70 million.

Although its iconic instant film and cameras may be out of production now, Polaroid the brand is still alive and well: through licensing agreements, a huge range of Polaroid products are still being sold in over 100,000 retail stores in over 100 countries around the world.

 

As state legislatures across America proliferate anti-transgender legislation, a growing crisis is unveiling itself. Transgender individuals and their loved ones are increasingly criminalized by their home states and their care, banned. This is prompting a growing number to seek refuge elsewhere. The scale of this issue remained under wraps until a recent Data For Progress survey brought to light the unsettling reality: hundreds of thousands of transgender people have already left their home states, and more than a million are considering a similar course of action in the coming months. These transgender individuals, frequently accompanied by their families, often sacrifice their jobs and relinquish their stability to reach the sanctuary of states willing to facilitate their care and protect them under the law. Should this trend persist, we may witness the largest domestic migration crisis since the Dust Bowl upheaval of the 1940s.

It makes sense from their perspective but still kinda shitty.

The real question I think is will Reddit retaliate back and forcibly recover communities and install new mods?

You know Starbucks has a habit of treating their unionized and unionizing stores bad when the stockholders think they are too anti-union. Starbucks shareholders seek input on labor rights review

It is very common, 2 resources with similar quick exit features that come to mind are The Trevor Project and Rainbow Passage.

@alyaza@beehaw.org Can we have a Resources collection pinned or listed on the sidebar? 🥺

I hate all the "Whataboutism" about Biden and Clinton, personally I want more prosecutions for those in power. That aside, people need to stop deflecting the topic and talk about the prosecution that is currently happening.

If someone was on trial for murder, their defense can't be "your honor, take a moment to consider all the murders who haven't been prosecuted yet and how unfair it would be to prosecute me before them"

Steven universe is a gem of a show... weird to say I still tear up at the thought of some of the songs in that show.
