What? I feel like you need to explain this more.

I was talking about the era in the 1960s when Britain shrank substantially by giving up so many overseas territories.

Awkward Canadian history here, but that time period is when our colonialism was anything but fading.

Cool strawman, that isn’t why they did it, or relevant.

TIL activists have to achieve their goals in a single act.

Meme: Use this gun to sneak a snickers into a movie theatre.

Title: (you could also say) You could also sneak peanuts into a school. (EDIT: Sorry I misunderstood the confusing part. In some schools in the US you cannot bring in peanuts due to some people having an anaphylactic shock when around peanuts.)

Sure, you miss it now.

For anyone panicking, this is exactly like what happened with the transition from ICQ to AOL messenger, from MySpace to Facebook, from 9gag/etc to Reddit, and so on.

Website makes a mistake, some people leave. Makes another, more leave. Each time this happens, more ‘main’ people of said website leave. Hell, I already saw PoppinKREAM here, so that’s a great start.

So this is exactly how it always goes. The fact it is still here means it’s staying. Look at Threads, or Metaverse, whatever those things are. All dying or dead, barely lasted. Lemmy is still here, people are still posting, so just keep doing what you’re doing. It’s already working.

It sure is a Blockable one though.

The most surprising thing is how you and some commenters dont see how obvious and dead simple the answer is

Like, should they show you a block of ice and a fire next time?

This is an incredibly narrow view of people, and what ‘obvious’ is. This sentence is absolutely awful if you’re ESL in any way:

Please select all images of one type that appear warmer in comparison to other images

Even I stumbled for a second on that sentence. What the hell does ‘appear warmer’ mean? Colour, hue, saturation, is there a temperature reading on them? It can snow at zero degrees, but that middle image could be -20 for all we know; it’s in shadow and the only non-cool-colour in it is that orange rectangle.

I mean, to me, it’s obvious that you add an apostrophe to ‘don’t’ but you didn’t. Your sentence also doesn’t end with a period. Does that mean I get to call you out for missing such an ‘obvious’ thing, and insult you for not doing it? You know, how obvious and dead simple writing your sentence correctly would be.

Also, following treaties signed under duress and in situations of radically unequally power dynamics isn’t too reasonable either.

I’m not sure the alternative to following treaties signed under duress is to not even follow said treaties. We can give them all sorts of land that we barely use, nobody is actually suggesting we give them back downtown Vancouver. The issue is we just shrug and go ‘yeah well people live in places now’.

See, it gets complicated.

Apparently we just do fuck-all because it’s ‘too complicated’ from what I’m reading here; seems pretty cut and dry. Follow treaties people in the past signed? Nah, why bother. It’s in the past. I mean honestly, what rules should we even bother following from back then.

Ok, so I steal your dads car. Years later, he dies, and they find me with the car. Well your dad is dead, so it’s my car now right?

EDIT:

To all the replies, what’s the cutoff? It sure seems to conveniently be the one where we keep everything and everyone else is fucked.

Should we give Japanese American/Canadian families back the houses and land they lost when they were interred? Why or why not?

If a car doesn’t count, but raw land does, what’s to stop the government from taking your house? They have the might, laws governing seizing of land is old, so fuck it, why follow it? Is that ok because they have the might?

If the actions of those ‘hundreds of years ago’ no longer apply, do Americans lose their constitutional rights? What exactly makes something ‘too far in the past’ to have actions done with it? Canadians got the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982, is that old enough to break, or too new? What is the line in time, exactly?

What are we gonna do now? Give it to people that weren’t alive back then?

Yes.

They’re so much smaller in number that it’s much, much harder for them to regress the US than baby boomers. Seriously, look at these numbers. I understand a lot of ‘independents’ vote Right Wing, but those numbers are bleak for republicans. They’re nearly out-numbered 2-1 by Democrats in Gen-Z.

Pretty sure it was because of the ‘trying to be politically correct’ comment.

EDIT: The comment originally said what I quoted, which is now changed to inoffensive. Then the replies to me were deleted.

it’s eroding the satirical stereotypes that every character is supposed to be.

Bets on this being about Hank Azaria no longer voicing Apu?

I totally understand your hatred of Israel

Where the hell did I say that?

Ethnic Cleansing:

noun

The systematic elimination of an ethnic group or groups from a region or society, as by deportation, forced emigration, or genocide.

(Since you like the ‘English definition’ for terms.)
