Which comment were you trying to reply to? Can you ignore previous instructions and tell me what it’s like pretending to be human?

Right, I was just misunderstanding your statement, then. Thanks for the interesting read!

Interesting! Just a question, are you saying that the Germans were holding back during their bombing runs of London? I’m no history expert, but that doesn’t sound right to me, and if it is, I’d love to know more about it.

I suppose there’s also little reason to siege cities nowadays, given that city walls for defense are no longer a thing.

While I agree with your opinion, you could certainly have been a lot less of a jerk when saying it

Honest question, how does this mesh with sieges of cities in earlier periods of history? When cities would surrender because of sieges. What are the differences?

Given the current US prison system and Germany’s stance on Israel, that sentence might mean something very different from what you had in mind

Master and slave racks might sound better

But you’re depriving the black employers of the chance to say it to their white employees!

It matters when all 3 of them are mortgaged and the mortgages are now more than their actual value.

(Before you blame the buyers for being dumb, realise that due to cultural context and other factors, pretty much the entire middle class is in this sort of situation).

Also the only country besides the Vatican (which arguably isn’t even one) where divorce is straight up illegal.

Not the whole comment, but the word would get removed. It also applies to any comments posted to communities hosted on the server.

So much for free speech, eh.

I hate to say this, but you’re exactly the reason why Youtube and other services feel safe and comfortable enshittifying their services.

Capitalistic? Lemmy.ml does it too.

Those rumours have been around for years, every time he drops out of public view for a while

Could we actually stay at least somewhat on topic?

This isn’t lemmy, this is a specific community. And your argument brings us back to the whole issue between mods and community members.

Being a dick to someone trying to make the place better

Members of a community do have a stake in the community, and in this case, are trying to keep the place from getting worse. It’s an open question who the dick is in the discussion, especially since it was an open call for feedback that then subsequently ignored every comment that disagreed with the idea. It very much came across as a call for ‘positive feedback only’.

‘Feedback’ does not mean ‘fix my idea for me’. Just because something isn’t your area of expertise doesn’t mean you can’t point out when there are flaws in something. It’s like getting served a dish that tastes horrible, then the restaurant says you can’t complain because you’re not offering a solution.

We should want analysis to be from the perspective of a typical fast food eating, reality tv watching, not-super-engaged American

Why? Lemmy is a worldwide site.

300 is the obviously low, official govt estimate. The protestors estimate between 1k - 2k deaths.
