He has achieved ordering other people to do what he wants ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm waiting for the first mass protest that utilizes Lora communications

Come on noobs, get with the times!

I really hope this company (and others) are successful, it would be so awesome to have a variety of plant species available in GMO bioluminescent forms lol.

Mine had almost no glow when I first got it, and I mangled the roots during repotting so it lost all of its leaves. This is its first new growth and it's nice and bright, I hope yours does well too!

I used the night sight feature on my phone's camera for this photo, however I would say the brightness level is pretty accurate to what you'd see with the the naked eye once adjusted to low light.

Perhaps a tad dimmer in real life, but it provides enough light to faintly illuminate really close objects such as my hand. It's super cool

Lmao, okay

Lmao, it's funny you call Ukrainians Nazis. Did you see how Russian security services cut the ear off one of the suspects from the terrorist attack in Russia, forced the ear into the man's mouth, then took a selfie with the knife he used to remove the ear next to his Nazi patch on his arm. The dude then proceeded to auction the knife off.

Every country has Nazis, Russia certainly has significantly more than Ukraine.

You misunderstood the song, the point of the song is that everyone feeds on someone else's misfortune. Humans have an intrinsic need for violence and horror, just watch the news and that's all that they have on because that's what people want to see.

The very first line in the song is more inline with how I feel it relates to me and all other humans "Eye on the TV, 'cause tragedy thrills me"

The only lyric that mentions angels is mocking people for believing mankind intrinsically has a good heart.

"Credulous at best, your desire to believe in Angels in the hearts of men Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen"

I learned a new word, this also probably explains our opinion differences quite well. I grew up in the middle class and as an adult continue to reside at that level.

All in all the system has treated me well, which I'm well aware is not how most people experience it.

I'll check it out when I'm home later today

I doubt you will since you probably dislike me but check out the song Vicarious by Tool, read the lyrics.

It's funny you highlight Ukraine's losses when Russia's are significantly higher. Ukraine gets to fight for their land as long as Ukraine wants to, you don't get to say "oh think of the Ukrainian children" like you care for them.

Well once you scroll for a while on Lemmy past all the higher like count posts it's mostly hexbear and porn on my feed, so ya I interact here on occasion because y'all are interesting and amusing.

I didn't say I liked hexbear, I like Lemmy. I know it was originally made by communists or whatever but sadly for y'all it's grown well beyond that origin story.

Well I do appreciate some of the insight in this comment, I was under the impression hexbear supported Russia and I was confused about that given the state of LGBT rights there. I even considered making a post here asking that exact question!

I'll do some more reading on Ukraine's current government but doubt my overall opinion on supporting them will change.

Very good point, we shall see if I do a better job if I'm wrong

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't believe Ukraine is a fascist coup regime, in fact I think that's a better description of Russia except the coup part, Putin just has total control anyway.

Either way since you seem to support Russia I will just state how much I love seeing the significant material and personnel loss Russia is suffering in the invasion. It is astonishing how significantly Ukraine has degraded their capabilities and displaced their status as one of the best armies in the world, and I honestly cannot wait to see what Ukraine does next.

I don't know what my favorite part is, Ukraine destroying/disabling Russia's entire black sea fleet (they are too scared to use their remaining ships since they have lost so many) or that Ukraine has removed 10% (maybe up to 15% so far https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-strikes-may-have-hit-15-russian-refinery-capacity-nato-official-2024-04-04/) of Russia's refinery capacity with drone strikes, and that number will continue to grow.

I completely agree the two party system is a joke, we'd be much better off with many more parties with differing opinions and ranked choice voting.

Genuinely insightful, thanks

When I'm likely right, or maybe wrong I will return. Just recently I went back to a 3-month-old comment that I promised to return to to prove myself right when something happened, and I did.

Yes I agree with you now, someone else sent me a good message on why this isn't an echo chamber. I was also wondering why I didn't have any dislikes, that explains it!
