atro_city@fedia.ioto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities.2·1 day agoProbably the Liverpool FC community is full of people who don’t even know the word privacy. They probably heard about it in a Malus ad and think it means buying an iPhone and installing Telegram.

very important to me
.I have communities that I care about that aren’t on here too. It’s their loss if they don’t join the fediverse. If it takes them another few years of eating billionaires dicks to get tired of dickbreath, that’s on them.
The same level of thought as “the universe invented life to experience itself”.

atro_city@fedia.ioto World News@quokk.au•US sanctions hit International Criminal Court in The Hague12·3 days agoThe US sanctioning people who could request that US officials go to jail is about as dishonest a move they can make. They don’t want a judiciary who speaks against them. The US is run by crooks.
atro_city@fedia.ioOPto Europe@feddit.org•European Citizens' Initiative to "Stop Destroying Videogames" is missing ridiculously low thresholds.12·3 days agoThat this was civil? We didn’t cuss each other out. If you want me to be less civil, just say so.
Anyway, it doesn’t matter. If this initiative makes it or not doesn’t matter that much to me. I’m not buying the games impacted by this, nor do I support the game companies that employ the practices.
Have a good one.
atro_city@fedia.ioOPto Europe@feddit.org•European Citizens' Initiative to "Stop Destroying Videogames" is missing ridiculously low thresholds.14·3 days ago“Everybody”. It’s just you mate 🤷♂ And for a fight, I find this quite civil.

So yes, the implication of irrelevance bothers me because it’s deeper than just this issue.
This is the important bit.
Strongest military in the world can’t defeat tariffs.
They abandoned the gold standard because they couldn’t mine enough gold to back the amount they were lending.

Do I remember that correctly?”. This song gave me the confidence to say “yes”.
atro_city@fedia.ioOPto Europe@feddit.org•European Citizens' Initiative to "Stop Destroying Videogames" is missing ridiculously low thresholds.18·4 days agoThey are dismissing the value of getting more of those small countries on board. Getting them past the threshold could also have an effect on the gamers in those countries. Who knows what kinds of people may have been untapped. Discarding them as irrelevant is counter-productive.
“Shut up, let the big boys do the lifting”. It’s the same attitudes that are pervasive throughout the union. The voices of those small countries are important. The line of thinking that small countries don’t matter fits very well with the “I’m just one person, so if I don’t vote, nobody will care”. We should be encouraging our brethren from smaller countries to be part of the democratic process instead of just excluding them. The Union wouldn’t listen to the Eastern States after Crimea’s invasion in 2014 and shrugged them off during the renewed invasion.
Imagine if we said the same thing about queers. “Nah, we don’t need their votes, they’re irrelevant, let’s focus on the hets”.
So yes, the implication of irrelevance bothers me because it’s deeper than just this issue.
atro_city@fedia.ioOPto Europe@feddit.org•European Citizens' Initiative to "Stop Destroying Videogames" is missing ridiculously low thresholds.116·4 days ago- hey, we need a final push for these countries
- nah, shut up, they are irrelevant, concentrate on these instead
- *sarcastic response*
- the person telling you to shut up is being helpful, your sarcasm is rude
OK.
atro_city@fedia.ioOPto Europe@feddit.org•European Citizens' Initiative to "Stop Destroying Videogames" is missing ridiculously low thresholds.3·4 days agoAll my gamer friends know about this, because I told them. I’ve told them and I know at least 3 of them that signed.
atro_city@fedia.ioto Science@beehaw.org•Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider turned lead into gold – by accident7·4 days agoOnce a lead nucleus has transformed by losing protons, it is no longer on the perfect orbit that keeps it circulating inside the vacuum beam pipe of the Large Hadron Collider. In a matter of microseconds it will collide with the walls.
This effect makes the beam less intense over time. So for scientists, the production of gold at the collider is in fact more of a nuisance than a blessing.
*sigh* “Send in the janitor to scrape the gold off the walls. Bloody gold is disturbing our equipment again!”.
atro_city@fedia.ioOPto Europe@feddit.org•European Citizens' Initiative to "Stop Destroying Videogames" is missing ridiculously low thresholds.337·4 days agoYeah, nevermind then. Let’s do nothing. Might as well just twiddle our thumbs and hope the large countries find another 500k people to sign the initiative. The small countries can be ignored 🤷♂

Yeah, promises. Very same awesome moneys as whole world sees effects of usa and tariffs right now.
Yep, left parties really do fail at putting the wealth disparity left, right, and center. They get distracted with whatever or issue exists that would be great to be tackled, but not first :/

Maybe making a sports related instance could help with making it more attractive to the fans. Or ask your favorite sports team to create an instance
forum.sparta.cz
or something and it’s a lemmy instance.
