I stand corrected. Not sure where I got the impression then. False memories.

I swear October is not a thing in Middle-Earth, they have different month names or something. He did say that in the movie though.

You’re going to need an axe to cut that one

…shush, you!

I prefer to believe that the Pokémon are pleading “Please, don’t put me back in there! I’ll fight for you! I’ll do anything!” But their cries fall on deaf ears as all the trainer hears is “Pika pika”.

Yeah, living in the UK I’m not surprised.

Right wing lies are spread non-stop to blame people on benefits, immigrants or the EU for problems caused by poor policy decisions, usually those made in service of people who are already rich.

I’ve personally met people who think that benefit cheats (people who are getting “too much” financial support from tej government) are a huge problem, when they make up only a tiny amount of our costs compared to wage theft, military spending and tax breaks.

Anyone know what the movie mentioned in the article is called? Could be a fun niche watch.

Reading your source, it sure sounds like genocide.

That said, it seems like a summary rather than a detailed report and I can’t find the source in the page.

The other people responding to you are saying “did you read the statement by the perpetrators of the genocide denying it?” Sounds like a rather silly statement.

Can’t really weigh in on this but on the face of it it does feel like tankie behaviour.

EDIT: I’ve now skimmed the UN Human Rights report and it’s definitely genocide. The only possible claim against this is that all of their information is false, which seems unlikely.

I’ll also add that the first response above linking to the UN source I’ve seen copy pasted elsewhere. That doesn’t necessarily mean much but, yeah.

That’s fair enough.

I think there is some rule that you just provide contact details somewhere on your website, though some companies try super hard to hide it.

The problem is sometimes the contact method is 12 layers of FAQ pages and web forms. Trying to reduce load is one thing, actively avoiding resolving issues is another.

This really is a fucking clown show.

I assume what’s happening here is that they have a bot that will reply a few canned response vaguely related to what you’ve said in the one message.

I don’t suppose there is a way to actually reach a human? This shit should really be illegal.

Amen to that 😌

Your match: 100%

I may not like many of what I know of China’s policies (genocide, suppression of free speech etc.), but this is one of the things they have done well.

Ah, I use Mullvad and have found their IPs are blocked.

I think a significant coat would have to be either a trenchcoat or one with a huge fur collar.

Oh, is it because some states have the same sort of age verification laws?

Interesting. Where are you based?

Victim blaming much? We didn’t ask for this. In fact, we specifically asked not for this. Same as how most US folk didn’t ask for a dictator to run their country and making fun of them for living in a dystopia is a bit tasteless.

It’s not a big huge deal, sure, but I also think it’s not a big ask for posters to do things differently.

For Lemmy I think you can just upload directly, which is what I do. More generally I’m not sure.

There are a million services like this but I doubt many are FOSS as there are significant coats involved in large-scale image hosting.
