“By platform” is a fuzzy request given the interoperable nature of the fediverse. This list is broken up by software, so Lemmy/PieFed/mbin are listed separately even though their users share and interact as if they were all on one platform.

I have many times, and I agree that travel is a good thing. But don’t be so quick to scoff at Americans who don’t travel overseas. Traveling is expensive. The flight alone from my house to Frankfurt or Tokyo (for example) is at least $1,500 per person, and a day of travel each way. That’s out of reach for a lot of people. Hell, it’s out of reach for me now that I have a family to bring with me. The most basic, banal holiday overseas would easily exceed $10,000. Nevermind the luxury of being able to spend enough time there to understand local takes on geopolitics.

Between the ticket prices and the, ah, challenging political climate in the US, I am really curious what game attendance will be.

You might get some downvotes for mentioning that book. The author makes a few sloppy assumptions, and the anthropology/sociology/history communities love to hate him for it. His overall thesis is still generally good though, IIRC.

One thing I don’t think is in Diamond’s book: once Europe had realized they could sail far and wide to get things, the Dutch invented the idea of a stock market to fund voyages (the British took this idea and really ran with it). This system made long, risky trips easier to finance. Instead of a single monarch funding a single expedition, many people could pool their money to fund many expeditions.

I agree that none of this means Europeans have some special intelligence or attitude. Any other civilization that developed in similar conditions could have followed the same path.

I didn’t notice that! I wonder who originally made that edit, and when. Google image search comes up with both versions from multiple sources.

Another strong contender, to be sure.

Also saying “im cishet” is so odd lol.

Yeah, reading back I see that it’s a clumsy choice of words. I’ll work on that in the future.

His left arm even seems to suggest his hand is between his knees

This is actually a crop of a famous photo. In the full photo he is nude, with his left hand between his knees and his forearm just covering his privates.

There are a couple, but they don’t roam very far.

That’s just the new range staffer holding the target. Materials are expensive with the tariffs and all, so you gotta cut costs somewhere.

That is an amazing little ad hoc study!

That’s Austin 3:16

It’s better, but still horrible in its own special way.

Black and gray flags are used by the US military on some uniforms. Civilians also sometimes display them as “no quarter” flags, meaning the person displaying the flag will show no mercy to any perceived enemies. For both of these reasons the right-wing nationalist crowd likes them.

iPhones are actually designed in the US. My point is that the phrase is almost certainly a lie in this case.
