It is indeed a systemic issue, but his government is the strongest player in making sure this system is strenghtened rather than weakened.

In addition to all the bad stuff, there has also been more and more people pushing to make things better: Reduce laws and influence from religious fundamentalists, return land claimed by settlers and spread an understanding that they are doing evil, peace and trade with neighboring countries, etc.

And he is afraid of them. That is why he is trying to move to what is practically a dictatorship and go into perpetual war.

With the current government gone, there is at least hope that the non-fundamentalist politics can take the wheel.

I’m stretching the word “hope” to near breaking point here, I know. It would go from “impossible” to merely “impossibly hard with decades of hard concessions” to fix things.

There are other, more introspective, ways to react to widespread and ongoing negative reception.

Norwegian here. Blame entirely justified. Our greenwashing is gross and dishonest.

Yessss, that was an embarrassing omission in my list.

Fair! But why “Pirates!” but not Civilization? Formally, they are all named with the prefix.

Gossip, not news.

Yes, but it would be an effort that does not come down to any strength, machinery, physics or logic, because in his universe the Narrative Force is infintitely stronger than any natural laws.

And the hammer is ruled by a strong narrative: Thor’s storyline.

So he would have to create a compellig narrative where he moves the hammer in a way that makes an interesting Thor story.

He can’t just move it with a planet-size magnet powered by the sun itself, but he could move it with a planet-size magnet powered by the sun itself if it could be explained in a cool way and gives Thor a great struggle to overcome, causes tension to test his relationship to Odin, or moves his character arc.

Brian Bilston is a treasure.

You and what army?

Who wants to play minecraft my server is at 10.0.0.7

DragonBox have been excellent. Been a few years and ownership changes since I looked at their games, so hopefully they haven’t enshittened.

Different site admins.

Depending on which mods you allow, which sitewide rules you set, and not least how you applu or not apply the rules, you get wildly different instances.

A few others also. Like memes. https://lemmy.world/post/19190223

Any part of any discussion that verges into criticizing Russia or China gets removed by either mods or passing site admins.

Any comment that is anti-the-West gets a pass no matter how uncivil, inflamatory or dishonest it is.

Thanks for answering! I was afraid it would be taken as sarcasm but I genuinely wanted to know.

Keeping predatory grifters away from health discourse is on a different level than discussions of differing opinions.

If you were to give an estimate: How many of the people fundamentally disagreeing with you online are rational and honest people, and how many are US federal agents or in their employ? Percentage-wise.

There are a few options, and I honestly say go for all of them at once:

1. Take some (legit) self-assessments and see how they feel. E.g. https://embrace-autism.com/asrs-5/
2. Find some ADHD resources. See if the techniques and tools help, or at least feel sensible. E.g. the book How To ADHD or various Youtube channels.
3. Seek out a psychiatrist to assess you. It may or may not be ADHD, but something is bothering you that needs attention. They are usually good at figuring that out.
