Hopefully they just haven’t thought about that yet

David Weber’s Honorverse and Mother of Demons by Eric Flint both come to mind. There is also the Little Fuzzy series by H. Beam Piper.

Edit: Also, The Legacy of Heorot by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.

Honorable mention also to Dragons Egg by Robert L. Forward (humans start out more advanced in the beginning but get surpassed) and the Uplift Storm trilogy omnibus (or books 4-6) from David Brin (humans aren’t the most advanced in the entire universe but are in the planet that the stories take place on).

Pretty impressive! Wonder where kbin instances fit in those stats.

Here’s the formal charging document: https://d3i6fh83elv35t.cloudfront.net/static/2023/08/CRIMINAL-INDICTMENT-Trump-Fulton-County-GA.pdf

It spells out the accused violations that are before a court of law to rule on.

I think the service charge bit, that is widespread as an alternative to tipping in Europe, makes a lot of sense in general.

Key word in the above sentence is: alternative

Ideally there would have been a way to merge threads and preserve the comments from both. Too late now I guess, but something to keep in mind next time something like this happens I suppose…

A shamed. There’s actually a lot of good stories if you are able to view the older threads on this magazine. See for example https://kbin.social/m/maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world?p=3

I usually browse just the local communities

Ditto, except it’s kbin.social in my case rather than lemmy.world

I probably would have never read this story if it only existed on kbin
I would presume the instance is important here?

That can be the case, sometimes issues with federation can cause threads to get lost across instances, and a new instance may not get all the existing threads on a pre-existing magazine.

However, it looks like both your account and this magazine are hosted on lemmy.world - since you’re both on the same instance, you should have been able to see the older posts on this magazine. (Note: magazine is the kbin term for lemmy communities - i prefer it as the term community can be ambiguous). I’ve never used lemmy proper so am not sure how that works, but on kbin you can view the older threads on a magazine quite easily.

Hmm so it seems like that deleted the comments old the older post from others too. Didn’t expect that to be honest.

Mostly was just curious why this one in particular was chosen to be reposted twice.

Didn’t you already repost this last month?

I prefer the interpretation where BIN = Buy It Now. So get into kbin now, basically.

Ah I think I remember that. It was r/mildlyinteresting iirc - an admin demodded the entire mod team for breaking a rule that they didn’t actually break (they filled the flag but didn’t actually allow any NSFW) and a different admin added them back.

Their admins fight over who does what to whom and apparently they close subs then threaten themselves demanding that they reopen them.

What? Where and when did this happen?

And why did it shut down and have to be replaced by r/196 ?

I’m on kbin too and I can see the alt text in the raw HTML:

<img src=“https://kbin.social/media/cache/resolve/post\_thumb/51/85/51859cfc559d9aedfa1bec8e33bbb76fd6c3c6d8b8eaf0ee854a68164df83780.jpg” alt=“A machine displaying 108.6 onions per minute. The image is captioned "Tony Abbott’s Mouth".”>

However, my browser isn’t showing me the alt text in the tooltip.

I mean maybe that’s the plan. He tried to back out of buying Twitter because he knew it would hurt him - now he’s trying to extract as much wealth as possible from Twitter before making it self-destruct, so he at least breaks even and can pay all that debt back without taking any losses himself.

I think the 300 is coming from those who pledged to stay dark. Some might have stayed dark without explicitly repledging.

I’m not too worried either way. See https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/38559/Killing-a-giant-Reddit - basically whatever happens, happens, and just by being here and not there, the end will probably be accomplished given due time.
