Many Australians descend from people the English sentenced to death or life imprisonment who were housed on prison barges before being shipped to Australia.

Mexico might not be sending the USA their best, but England inadvertently sent Australia their best.

The worst part is that parents can be left out of this process. There was a time not too long ago, when children were told that if an adult told them to hide something from their parents, that was a bad thing to be avoided at all times. Now schools are doing it.

This cannot go on for much longer. Parents are going to revolt, and who could blame them?

You as an individual blocking their communities and users you do not wish to see is the best bet.

I want to avoid defederation where ever possible.

Exploding Heads has never defederated lemmygrad. We invite diverse opinions, discussion, and debate.

I want to speak up in defense of the Lemmy developers.

I run an instance that is probably the polar opposite of Lemmy.ml.

Yes Lemmy.ml blocked us from federating, but when it comes to getting a Lemmy instance up and running successfully, 99.99% of the time the developers have been both helpful and generous with their time.

Give them a break. They have created some great open source software that can serve as a foundation of an exciting future.

I think the thing to stop this happening is for the user to own the identity they use on Lemmy - so if you do not like what gas happened on the instance you signed up on, you can easily move to another instance or social media.

Lemmy is open source. Lots of people run instances, so there are a lot of choices.

That is why I am supportive of something like self-soverign I'd

Given the obvious coordination of the UAP disclosures these last few weeks, only two scenarios seem plausible:

  • either a group of scientists, intelligence operatives, military personnel, legal sharks, and politicians are working together behind the scenes to deliver enough corroborated information to the public to pierce through a near-century of State-imposed secrecy, or

  • this diverse collection of professionals is part of an elaborate disinformation campaign being used to manipulate public perception and opinion.

Point of clarification, Exploding Heads is not "anti lgbtq"

Once you are an adult, we believe you should be free to make your own choices.

But we are highly protective of children.

  • We do not believe they should be the subject of indoctrination, be subject to treatment programs that could sterilize them for life, or have breasts and penises chopped off.

  • We do not believe their parents should be subjected to threats - legal, social, or emotional blackmail by medical "professionals"

  • We believe sports are an important opportunity for our daughters to develop. We do not believe men should be stealing those opportunities from them.

  • We believe our daughters have the right to privacy in changing rooms etc.

Because others have already adopted Bitcoin, they probably think it is an easier sell

Senate Bill 5599 would allow the state’s Department of Children, Youth, and Families to remove children to a group home if their parents opposed any sort of “gender transition” the child expressed interest in or even an abortion, and they can do so without even informing the parents that it happened. In other words, this is state-sanctioned kidnapping.

This is the very heart of the difference between capitalist and socialist systems. Socialist nations have always quickly become economic basket cases, for the simple reason that they kill individual initiative by setting a ceiling on compensation. No matter how hard someone works, he or she earns what is determined by the state.

In a capitalist society, an enterprising person can take another job or work longer hours so as to earn more money, and then what he or she does with that money is largely a matter of the worker’s own discretion.

In a socialist society, by contrast, it’s useless to work long hours or take an extra job, because doing so isn’t going to bring in any more cash: the government will skim off any “excess compensation” that might have been due a hardworking person. And there isn’t even any impetus to work hard or do a good job, because one can’t get fired and suddenly be left without any means of support, either.

It appears Democrats are running this operation in likely EVERY STATE in the Union. It is a giant donation scandal involving thousands of individuals and tens of millions in illicit donations!

Now Bill Bruch and investigators in Washington State have identified tens of thousands of illicit donations from donor mules in the state of Washington to Democrat candidates and PACs.

The AG’s office makes it clear that they’re primarily interested in targeting white people. Indeed, his office rejected the term “domestic terrorist” because it was too “triggering” to minority communities. And it came from an AG Office report after it tasked a group of stakeholders to explore violent domestic extremism.

 

The declining enrollment comes after homeschooling rates nearly doubled in Washington at the height of the COVID pandemic and are still at elevated levels from the 2019-2020 school year.

I wonder why Amazon charges $20 a month to let you store video and audio locally?

Are they making that $20 a month another way when they store it in the cloud?
