That’s how English aristocrats (and aristocrat wannabes) say rugby. Whether that’s what they mean I dunno though

It’s not going to stop the genocide, obviously, but would you rather they just shut up and put up with it? Would you rather they supported Israel?
This is a show of solidarity.
The more there are, the more emboldened others are to do it too. The more people condemning genocide, the more likely politicians are to do something about it. Particularly if those people have public followings of their own.
Here’s a documentary on their purge of the left for anyone interested:
Shares of the vote in general elections since 1832 received by Conservatives[note 1] (blue), Liberals/Liberal Democrats[note 2] (orange), Labour (red) and others (grey)[1][2][3]

The Conservatives forming from a split in the Liberal party doesn’t mean they’re the same thing.
Labour and Liberal Democrats are two very different parties. Or at least they used to be, until New Labour became a thing…
Our politics are bad, FPTP is bad, but we’re not a 2 party system entirely. The Lib Dems, Greens, SNP, and Reform all manage to have a say in politics and how things are done. They all influence Labour and the Conservatives.
Not to mention one person having multiple accounts for different purposes and business accounts. Instagram is big, no doubt, but not 2 billion users big
Your brain really is in the bin…
“This is a Christian nation”
Now I’m not American so I’m willing to be corrected here, but I’m pretty damn certain it’s supposed to be a secular nation…
I wanted to know the same thing so this is what my searching has brought up, specifically for Scots Gaelic as that’s what I’ve been learning.
Speak Gaelic - Gaelic only, government funded, free
IndyLan - for endangered European languages, made by Heriot-Watt University and EU funded, free
Mango Languages - appears to be the closest to a Duolingo replacement. Many languages, subscription.
Glossika - another Duo replacement however that URL doesn’t fill me with confidence that they’re not going down the same route… Subscription for most languages, endangered ones are free.
Apart from the first Mango lesson for free and a few IndyLan lessons I’ve not tried any of these so can’t speak for their quality but thought a list might still be handy.
On the sixth day of Hate Week, after the processions, the speeches, the shouting, the singing, the banners, the posters, the films, the waxworks, the rolling of drums and squealing of trumpets, the tramp of marching feet, the grinding of the caterpillars of tanks, the roar of massed planes, the booming of guns—after six days of this, when the great orgasm was quivering to its climax and the general hatred of Eurasia had boiled up into such delirium that if the crowd could have got their hands on the 2,000 Eurasian war-criminals who were to be publicly hanged on the last day of the proceedings, they would unquestionably have torn them to pieces—at just this moment it had been announced that Oceania was not after all at war with Eurasia. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Eurasia was an ally.
There was, of course, no admission that any change had taken place. Merely it became known, with extreme suddenness and everywhere at once, that Eastasia and not Eurasia was the enemy.
In my eyes a mandatory read for anybody opposed to authoritarianism.

All they’ve got is Diamonds And Rust
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah
136 upvotes to 6 downvotes for a piece of shit like The Telegraph and a bullshit divisionary piece? I thought Lemmy was better than this
He lost, it’s been generating power since 2018! 😄

I think you’re forgetting the power of consumers. At work you might not be able to replace Photoshop or Microsoft but at home you certainly can. The more people that become familiar with alternative software the more likely professional environments are to adopt it.
Why would a company want to pay Adobe or Microsoft if their employees are more adept with free alternatives? Especially if those alternatives gain feature parity with the paid services while the paid services lock parts behind paywalls and subscriptions.
Don’t let perfect get in the way of good!
What do you mean provide credible sources? dO yOUr OWn reSeArcH!1!
Nope. A rare few have perspex boxes that you can see through but most are just a wooden box. It’s removed in summer to allow people to see them.
Unfortunately with more extreme weather those with carvings are starting to wear away. The more beloved or prominently known ones are being encapsulated in boxes to preserve them but most will just wear away.
The boxes aren’t pretty either.
For example, The Maiden Stone normally, and boxed.
An example of the wear on the western face.
The amount of Americans that claim to be Scottish because their great great grandparent once farted in Edinburgh is pretty damned high to be fair.
The difference between the amount of Americans with genuine Scottish ancestry and the amount who arbitrarily claim Scottish ancestry is absurd. I dunno if they all saw Braveheart and decided “Freedom! Fuck yeah, I want some of that!” or what but it’s ridiculous.
