Trains: exist.
If you have set destinations for years to come, you don’t need a driving wheel.

Russian AvtoVAZ would like a word. It’s factories need no upgrade to follow Cybertruck’s quality standards. There’s a whole new market, the greatest one at that, and I can assure you there is one true place where you can invest into the future industry of cope-caged EVs.

Salting the wound: after antivaxxing became a part of people’s identity, got coupled with their political views, the critical mortality rate to sober up the majority only grew higher.

As long as you don’t need a complex array of effects and graphics, it fits. Most of simple amateur video needs are easily covered.
andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Trump’s attempts to denigrate Zelenskyy have led to a surge in Ukrainian unityEnglish501·5 months agoZelensky isn’t the best fit, and his opponents in Russia call him a clown, yet this clown used and uses his media knowledge to, as a first face of the nation, keep this conflict feautured in world news, frequent frontlines, give a lot of direct adresses to his own people in this struggle, ask for supplies and support from other nations. I believe, he puts 125% effort into this and is likely shortening his own life by a constant overwork and stress. He and his people aren’t the best, and their country is plagued with post-ussr-style corruption, indeed, yet they do what they think is right in this turbulent situation.
I’d indulge in whataboutism and ask, who we are to compare with the dude. Putin, Trump or Orban? What’s the baseline that’d put him to shame?
Learning about idol scenes and how hardcore it is to be an idol makes me feel very uncomfortable, but I somehow find Mr Beast to be a fish worth this ocean. He’s somehow uniquely compatible with what youtube wants now, and I doubt it’s stirs him wrong. In my mind, he echoes what other creators feel about all that bs.

andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Trump echoes Russia as he flips US position on UkraineEnglish212·5 months agoA late night call from the Oval Office: Good morning mister Vlad. It’s Donald. Yes, Ukraine is on sale, but what about eggs? I told them I’d fix the price on eggs… Say what now?.. I can’t pass the phone to Elon, he isn’t there. Hello. Hello? Hello? HELLO? I hate it when he does that.
andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Trump is living in a Russian-made 'disinformation space,' says Ukraine's ZelenskyyEnglish314·5 months agoHe isn’t, he is still polite to give Donnie a benefit of a doubt, like he is speaking like that because he’s got malinformed. No, Trump uses his position to exchange Ukraine and the security of Europe for whatever he was promised or he himself promised beforehand for his success in pres campaign previosly, so he just closes his debts. Zelensky couldn’t say that to Trump all other countries and his own nation are paper tokens he uses to play monopoly with his friends. Ukrainian defence depend too deeply on what Biden’s given them before so as a diplomat he doesn’t want to cross out the US even though he knows that with Trump they’d hardly get anything. And it’s not about the US specifically, it’s a standard that keeps every other donor comfortable to donate arms and money, setting the climate in which no random and immidiate decisions pass, unlike what Trump does.

andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.worksto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Be the change you want to see in LemmyEnglish3·5 months agoThere’d probably arise a need of a default instance with only guest access for a test drive before they pick their own instance, with some pop ups pointing at the fact that the name nutomic@lemmy.ml means he is a part of some meta-subreddit lemmy.ml, that doesn’t mean shit for he just helped andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works with a link to the source. Their likes are collected but never shown. When they’d want to stop lurking and finally press a login button, it shall instead invite them to see instances of people they liked before first, others next, with tips what lead some rank so high in their list. After the signup is confirmed, their likes may or may not be transported, but their temporal profile is deleted.
I see the natural flow would be something akin to that: we start with a showcase of general content from different nearly-default instances and then get them recs about persons they did enjoy reading.

Watching that inteview and remembering the first Zelensky’s adresses to his and even my russian people early in the war, I was pretty occupied with an idea of how these two numbheads would be good punching bags once I put a trash bag on them and use a duct tape to ensure their breath doesn’t leave it, and hitting them repatedly with a fist or some blunt and heavy object. I don’t usually accept or encourage violence, but I felt lost watching this shit piece of negotiations and also very, morbidly angry. I couldn’t avoid thinking of going physical with them and it probably took a year and a half from Zelensky’s tired neurons to keep himself contained until the meeting ended. I’m pretty sure he kicked something after leaving it. I’m sure I would’ve if I has been him.
