So call me confused… But isn’t Russia short of diesel itself? And isn’t this breaking a bunch of agreements between western countries?

Good thing the ICC’s headquarters is not in the US.

If it were I can just see Trump & Co shutting down the offices they work out of.

Weird. ✅

Eh? Why would we have it ‘live streamed’ anyway?

Besides that; All of our FTA tv channels will blur anything remotely confronting as a matter of course.

You tube is where you’ll get your jollies. And the Australian government can’t/won’t censor that…

Yep. It’s is the (nearly) end game of pure capitalism.

Which is why you see lately the attack on anything that is given or provided by government.

Because they want more of the pizza. They want it ALL.

And yet they are meat sacks like the rest of humanity. With all the strengths and weaknesses everyone called a human has.

Why are they special? Why are they allowed to hog ALL the wealth?

Because we let them.

I get all of them except Roblox? Isn’t that a place for kids?

Ok….

I read the attached article. And am struggling to see a problem here?

The guy got convicted. Again. Yay?

Or was it a bad thing because the internet happened?

Any smart person. Please enlighten me…?

Serious question? Or trolling?

Just wait. Reddit is quickly becoming more and more unbearable. I deleted my 9 year account because of this. I only found Lemmy and subsequently this page from looking for alternatives.

It seems to be getting traction. And unlike Bluesky. Is a lot more like the Reddit of old.

So just keep doing what you are doing. And they will come…

Both were after the fact though. Which I am sure they will have the court orders ready to go. But the livestream is another story.

Either way. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Yeh, alt accounts I guess. Or though in my head they’re one and the same because the username, email, and even password are the same…

Agreed. They keep electing muppets. And the ones that say they didn’t just throw their hands up and point everywhere but to themselves.

And don’t get me started on their fanatical relationship with that little warmongering country in the Middle East. It’s just nuts.

Also as I am new here. With fresh eyes. It seems to me it’s got a few issues with the mobile presentation. I have found opening posts with media a hit and miss affair. So still a bit clunky. But other than that. It’s a lot like the reddit of 2000’s. IMO anyway.

I'm on both. The Aussie and World ones. It happened simply because Aussie on required someone to approve my application. Whereas the Lemmyworld one was insta approval.

I searched for it specifically.

I am from Perth. And the r/Perth subreddit was one of my most active.

We have a similar problem here in Australia. But because of our low population. And compulsory voting. It’s not able to manifest as much in the elected governments… Yet. There is definitely a push by outside groups and a few scallywags here trying to make it like the US.

But we continue to push back….Mostly.

AUKUS was the latest version of us failing in the pursuit of sense. Thankfully the US will fuck up the whole thing so bad it might just work out alright in a decade or two.

So all those expensive cars will have to be returned then?

Boo-hoo.

Is it an alt account though? I’m using the same logins for both? Or is that purely on me?

Coming from Reddit to here is a bit of a change.

Haha! Sure. You believe what you want to. But the fact is that there are countries in the world that are actively battling this scammy rubbish. Through governments and local leadership. What is concerning however, is the attitude that scams are just now a part of the accepted narrative. When they should be anything but.

Take the Nigerian scams of the early 2000’s. They were successfully fought against on all levels. And have now pretty much dropped off.

Just because your country has thrown in the metaphorical towel. Don’t lump the rest of us with you.

Glad to see a well thought out response!👍
