And we haven’t had a lot of time to evolve or adapt to our new niche either. So most of our brains and bodies are still the hunter gatherer archetypes.

Arggggh

Sony Xperia Pro-I – a phone with a very nice camera :)

1991 Ford S10 pickup, on the farm, when I was 8 years old. I only crashed it on the farm once – in first gear, stopped. Took foot off clutch and lurched forward into the wall in front of me. In my defense, I hadn’t been instructed on how to turn it off yet ;)

Still leave the question hanging haha

I went through their site. It is entirely unclear from their short form license, faq, etc.

I always presume that, if something is free to the user, you are the product. Exceptions for open source projects, which pixabay doesn’t appear to be.

How does pixabay make money?

Wait. A stock photo?

Justifying. Basically you already have a behaviour in mind, but you need an excuse to execute on that behaviour.

It can also be retroactive. You can create an excuse for your behaviour after you’ve already done something – retroactive justification.

Funniest comment

He’ll be bored. Then he’s dismantle it and keep the $1B ransom he got from each dictator to be a member, and claim it achieved all if its goals.

Instability in a neighbour is the perfect excuse for a fascist expansionist “intervention”. Ugh. Not that I like the cartels or anything. Mexico is stuck between a rock and hard place here.

Was in Chile earlier this year. There is a nice museum in Santiago which is basically about the Pinochet era. Seemed to be pretty honest about the whole thing. They didn’t blame the CIA at all. They did talk about the school of economics that Pinochet subscribed to. That’s influence, yes, but not the same thing as orchestrating the coup.

The game engine that Paradox uses in their games is named after him. For reasons

Fair, but you can still post about it in the more general cars communities, no?

Even Reddit didn’t start with all these specialized subs. It started without subs at all, actually. And then the big general subs were born, and only later the niche subs were born because the signal to noise ratio in the big ones got too bad. Post your content here in the general communities until the signal to noise ratio warrants a dedicated offshoot.

This advice generalizes. There aren’t enough fans of each sports team here yet to have team specific communities, but there are enough fans of each sport to have general communities for that sport. Branch later.

“space music” – I played Mass Effect 1 long ago and got hooked on the idea of musicians trying (and often failing) to make music for futuristic settings. This is like Star Trek episodes that reference classical music but some person has to predict what classical music will sound like in 2300. So they go with with future retro stuff and it just tickles me. So I seek out these sorts of experimental musical pre-trend predictions cause they’re often hilarious.

There are dedicated communities on Lemmy to these things – and they’re pretty quiet. Post new content there and engage in conversations and be the change you want to see.

I don’t know what 86° is in science units, but it sounds warm. It was +27°C today and the plants were loving it.
