I wish I was half as cool as that kid...

Slightly off topic, but as lemmy is so low volume, pretty often the same image shows up in the feed 3-4 times next to each other from someone crossposting to multiple communities. I would suggest that crossposting be limited as much as possible for that reason. As the post volume still is so small there's not much reason to even go to a topical community. I just check local once in a while and even then I quickly get down to already seen material so the chance of not seeing a post is pretty low unless it is a community I've blocked, but then odds are I won't like it anyway.

Just my opinion, of course. Thoughts?

We don't know who named most things, so that is hardly surprising. We typically only know who named recent phenomena.

Was Eleanor one of them?

As I suspected, I did not understand the summary.

The whole "dark matter" thing has never sat right with me. It always seemed like a desperate attempt to explain what we see. I'm not saying I know enough to have an informed opinion, but it has always seemed wrong. It is matter we can't detect in any way except for gravity? Nah. The forces of nature changing due to expansion? Fits better somehow. Anyway, what do I know? I entertained the idea that it was time that was changing due to the expansion, but I couldn't get it to fit. This seems more plausible.

Have you stopped fucking donkeys? Yes/no only, please.

Lol. As a neighbor, I believe you. Grew up around a lot of Finns and all that grumpiness is just an act. You're all cuddly inside but afraid to show it. Love you all.

Looks like it's finally time to bite the bullet and watch the big short.

That "article" was a right mess. AI generated or severly intoxicated writer? I'm guessing AI.

Yes, but Pukin is on a ride-or-die commitment to take Ukraine. Literally. He won't survive looking weak and retreat.

So if Macron hopes to scare Putin into retreating, he won't succeed, cuz he can't retreat. Macron has to follow trough unless he too wants to look weak or undecided or whatever. It's not as lethal in France, but it's not good politically. So who knows where this ends. Hopefully the US gets it shit together and prevent the need for NATO boots on the ground. But I'm not entirely hopeful.

Why is the compromise always to be a good little voter and vote for us regardless of the heinous shit we're up to cuz the other option is Hitler wins? That isn't a compromise. A compromise is when both sides give up something they want. What have the dems given up? Said that Israel has maybe gone a little bit too far? Whoopty-fucking-do.
