European democracy has many, many flaws, but compared with Russian dictatorship, it’s a utopia. This is a ridiculous take.

Which country is it that invaded its neighbour again? Romania or Russia? Which country is regularly assassinating journalists? Germany or Russia?

What’s the point in mining the Moon if we’re just gonna leave what’s been mined there? Of course it would be removed.

Where did you get that 10% is what would be required to affect the tides? Why don’t we just say it’s 90% to back your point up even more?

The point is, if allowed, we’ll fuck it up like we fuck up every environment. Why must we insist on destroying everything just so some rich people can get richer? Climate change is upon us and instead of acting to prevent it we’re looking to do similar destruction elsewhere.

When you look up at the vastness and marvel of space and planetary bodies, are you desperate to see dump trucks, bucket excavators, and orange flashing lights looking back at you?

Until we’ve mined so much that the ratio of mass between the Earth and the Moon causes tidal changes and eventually the Earth pulls the Moon into the Earth and all life is destroyed. How quickly do you think we can speedrun that?

The industrial revolution was about 150-200 years ago and our planet is dying because of it. Can we beat that record?

Edit: also, who gets dibs on the moon? Something tells me the vast majority of the population won’t get a say and mysteriously, somehow, it’ll be American mega-corps doing the mining

Just works, sometimes. Other times you’ll be left with a blank screen and the need for a second device to search the mint forums. It all depends on the age and support for your hardware.

Don’t host on YouTube? They’re a big company, I’m sure they’ve got the resources for a couple of video files.

Keyboard shortcuts mean memorising. Some people have issues with memory. On-screen buttons mean no memorising.

That’s the cool thing about Linux. You can customise it to your own needs and desires. Everybody is different.

The easiest way to survive Kristal Nacht 2: Electric Boogaloo is to get outta there before it happens. Stockpiling some food and “hunkering down” isn’t gonna keep you safe. Get outta there.

What does America offer that you can’t get in Europe, Canada, Australia, etc?

Brain drain the fascist state to a standstill.

The earlier you do it, the higher your chances of being accepted into other countries. They may block American refugees if there becomes an exodus. It also means you have time to sell unnecessary items instead of possibly having to abandon them.

Good luck, whatever path you choose.

Is there an easy way to purge a Lemmy account or do you have to edit/ delete each comment and post first?

I’ve had issues with deleting posts previously and just resorted to editing them to be useless instead.

I thought it was something to do with Kim Dotcom’s Mega at first. Such a dumb headline.
