May be all the propaganda bots going offline?

I tried that. No one ever really joined. I tried posting content, and no one ever engaged with it.

Guess theres not many childcare educators on Lemmy as the reddit community is always super active.

Tibetans told VICE World News that the meaning of this common expression used to tease and teach children is completely lost in cultural interpretation and its English translation. The correct phrase in Tibetan for this joke is “Che le sa”, which roughly translates to “Eat my tongue.” English is the Dalai Lama’s second language and Indian news outlets have previously reported that the leader speaks in broken English at public events.

[…]

In a Youtube video, Jigme Ugen, a second-generation Tibetan refugee living in the U.S., explains how this display of affection was born out of a game played between the Tibetan elderly and children. Kids who go up to their grandfather, for instance, are asked to kiss their grandfather’s forehead, touch their noses and kiss them.

“Then [the grandfather] says that I’ve given you everything so the only thing left is for you to eat my tongue,” Ugen said. “The child probably never gets the candy or money but gets a beautiful lesson about life, love and family.”

tl;dr: A harmless translation issue.

Why the fuck apologise for that? Did some bigoted fucksticks get upset? Good.

How about corporations fuck off? Let us have our own small slice of people own and ran Internet back again.

Neoliberal governments ain’t going to do shit about shit.

Chinese builders put Boeing to shame.

They’re committing genocide against the Papuans, this is merely an apology for being caught.

Such a curse to live an easy life with unimaginable wealth.

Uhhh didn’t they both do an interview on Oprah?

Nah, decriminalise all drugs sure.

But shit like fentanyl, krokodil, etc. shouldn’t be actively promoted through ease of access.

Similar for my instance.

Is it natural if it’s bought on by low wages and high prices making it impossible for most to afford a family?

Also lots of people do work on election day, we offer heaps of time to vote before the day if you can’t get off for an hour to vote.

Does your legal system work on imprisonment or nothing at all? Sounds very extreme.

Here it’s a small fine, but it’s also a day off and takes like 20 mins to go do plus you can get a delicious sausage. So it’s a no brainer that people go vote.

Greece is a pretty failed state from what I’ve seen, wouldn’t read too much into what they don’t do.

As for why compulsory voting, it helps moderate extremism and represents most of society as a whole.

I blocked them on my instance last year. Fuck threads and any instance that goes along with them.

You’re showing up on my personal instance as well, so I’d say you’re all good on the Lemmy syncing.

Not sure why you’re not syncing on Mastodon, it might just be a time thing? Maybe check back in a day or so?

They invest more in new coal than anywhere else.

They may be adding a lot of green energy, but that’s only a lot in comparison to smaller countries not a lot overall.

Australia for example generates more power in percentage from green energy than China, and we’re doing shit all here.
