This community isn't a perchance community. I'd reccomend asking there

I love how fast these memes get outdated, we're at 900k already

Technically this can already be implemented with Lemmy plugins.

However implementing account age could be circumvented later on since instance owners can edit account age from the instance database. Not an issue for now, but will be an issue later.

Federated karma in the way Reddit implements it can be abused in Lemmy by multiple instances sending each other's accounts automated like responses. You're going to need a different metric at the very least.

Every breath this piece of shit breathes is a waste of oxygen, should've been killed way back.

Thirteen years ago, we launched Mann vs. Machine, a chilling cautionary tale where an artificial consciousness tried to take all our jobs. You didn't know it back then, but that was actually a literary device called "speculative" fiction, where writers (us) accurately predict the future (the present), but then hide it so as not to cause widespread panic.

In an effort to keep panic levels low, and apropos of nothing, we'd like to tell you a story: Once upon a time, a Mann vs. Machine mode in a video game was getting a much-needed update. And so a brave blog post writer (us again) asked the community to submit Mann vs. Machine maps and missions in time for that update. (For the sake of this panic-reducing speculative fantasy, let's put the fictional deadline at Wednesday, August 27th).

If that was the entire story, you'd already be at a low panic level but vaguely concerned about a looming dystopian future (mission accomplished). But as is traditional in the genre of speculative blog fiction, there's more! The king of the fictional land where this all happened (ancient Greece), decreed on stone tablets that even though the update was dropping right around the ancient Greek candy-harvest festival of Halloween, the maps did not need to all be Halloween-themed (first tablet) and in fact shouldn't be (second tablet).

"Though some of them COULD be," the king carved into a third tablet, held in the stone hands of a statue... of PRIMATE GEORGE WASHINGTON? No! It's just regular George Washington in a dystopian future past where our sculptors are NOT AS GOOD AS IN ANCIENT GREECE! What an ending! (The end.)

Is this tale a simple flight of gripping, well-written fancy? (No.) Or a chilling glimpse into a future that could arrive as soon as, again, Wednesday, August 27th with a second part arriving right before Halloween? (Yes, see paragraph one.)

This site has her dox, how cringe.

If anything trolling ISIS to this point where they respond is a rare accomplishment.

this does not even qualify for dark humor material

Yes, an entirely different country located in middle east defending itself from a country known to commit genocide against its victims is "death to america" somehow.

Watch Dogs 1. It was quite fun for me, but quite a lot of people expected it to create a spark like GTA 5 back in the day, so when it didn't; they all criticized it to hell.

Yes, but for a business perspective, profit gears need to be turned in one way or another. Since Amazon wants Twitch the platform itself to be profitable, the rates need to be adjusted like that to make even. Kick is pretty much part of the advertisement budget for Stake, and for big online casinos that, losing out Kick's profit isn't really a problem, as long as it drives people to them.

 

Millions of people have joined together to voice their demands of justice after Imamoglu's arrest. Imamoglu is the lead candidate against Erdogan's presidency, and has been pushing for an early election before his arrest.

 

According to journalist Fatih Altaylı, Turkish Embassy in Canada has filmed protests made in front of the embassy and identified a student who attended the protest against the Erdogan regime, called them and confiscated their passport. Embassy has said "You're a protester, go take your passport from Imamoglu if you can" as their reasoning behind this action to the student.

 

You can personalise the data for everyone (like dumbest thing you ever said),

You can show data you do not have knowledge of (like the count of planets that have life)

This data will be seen by everyone, regardless of when they died.

TLDR: Imamoglu's detainment turned into an arrest request

Erdogan's presidency rival, The Union of Turkish Municipalities and Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem Imamoğlu were referred to the courthouse with a request for arrest.

For better context in the broader timeline: Yesterday, the government pressured the university he graduated from to falsify his diploma. Law enforcement previously conducted raids and arrested various elected mayors, and is also keeping Umit Ozdag, leader of Zafer Party in jail without any reasonable justification.

Istanbul Republic Chief Prosecution Office has ordered arrest on 100 people that include politicians, journalists and businessmen, and Erdogan's biggest rival candidate for president, Ekrem Imamoglu, who is also the current mayor of Istanbul.

The fallout highlights how geopolitical tensions and financial risks can destabilize global franchises. Reports suggest consumer boycotts targeting Western brands over Israel’s actions in Gaza significantly impacted KFC’s Turkish sales . Meanwhile, İş Gıda’s debt-fueled growth strategy left it vulnerable to economic shocks, including Turkey’s inflation crisis.

BDS works. That's why it's illegal.
