I suppose up until now, I wrongfully assumed we were all banned from shitting in public

this is a fab idea :)! thank you for workin on it
Whilst I do believe in deplatforming, I wouldn't call fediverse comment sections a platform.
Checking in on concerning individuals and helping them realise that they're being unkind, is an important but exhausting role in society - and it's good if mods aren't the only ones doing it!
Parts of the fediverse are small enough of a community that you can give a helping hand to these people and break them out of their reactionary/propaganda bubbles.
You're helping to keep the community kind - thank you for doing it
when I stayed in a small oil town in rural Texas, the hotel had paintings of oil rigs everywhere. they worshipped oil as a way of life
I'm not saying we start convincing nimbys to start worshipping pylons, but when the pylons are finally put up, maybe it won't actually be a life ruining disaster
all you need to know is that dogs are fluffye! no need to look at the other comments :)!
My first thought was that 40% was low... but I suppose I've never been a first time buyer, so they probably have higher salaries than I do
It's frustrating how slow the scientific review process can be, especially when you know that evidence can often be twisted or "misinterpreted" by policymakers, and even more frustratingly so when people's lives are at stake.
Here's hoping this review is kind, competent, quick, clear, and ethical.
Oooh, excellent point! The german weather service (DWD, which OP is using) has 17 operational weather radar... looks like an artefact to me!
EDIT: it's not an artefact, but insects!
I've heard people say both "young people are more politically conscious than ever" and also "young people are more disengaged/disillusioned from democracy than ever"
Whilst those things can both be true, I think it's v important now to try and get young people actively engaged with politics.
But also - we should keep trying to get older generations to be kinder, too.
I've been told "your generation will make the world right again!" by the generations above mine, since I was in primary school. 20 years later, we're still waiting for conservatives to die off. If climate change has proven anything, it's that we should all be doing more than just waiting it out
96% of people aged 55 and over regularly using BBC services
69% of Britons aged under 16 said they consumed any BBC content in an average week
Since under 16 year olds don't typically pay for TV licenses, I wish they'd given us a percentage for between 16 and 55 !
It's only really fine if someone calls me an appearance-based compliment if they're my partner or a woman that I'm close to.
