BRICS is a trading bloc not a military alliance.

Also, BRICS is rumored to be starting its own currency and we have already seen stuff like Sri Lanka using rupees to deal with its economic crisis. That’s going to be very attractive to some countries hence the clamour to join.

I have some kind of a Samsung but it doesn’t have that button.

At least, I don’t think it does.

Nice. I need to get a better phone.

Probably Twitter.

I think you’re right - women are also socialized to seek out social/interpersonal connections more than men; this is a big factor in why the suicide rate for elderly men tends to be significantly higher than for elderly women.

This doesn’t explain the 60 year olds but with the elderly (70+) women in my life, the vulnerability to misinformation is also an artifact of their comparatively poor levels of education. They were schooled with the expectation that they would be SAHMs.

@Lupo how do you get such long screenshots?

They’re basically fancy ways of saying “non white”.

There’s a use case for making that distinction but it’s a lot narrower than expecting people to self-identify in those terms.

Which, within that use case (e.g talking about wide and systemic oppression by white-led cultures) I guess that could be like the argument some people from certain countries have made that “Third World” is useful term because it does retain the history of its useage, whereas when it’s exchanged for terms like LDCs>Global South>LICs>etc that sort of obscures the historical material conditions and relational aspects which inform the present. Or something.

Thanks, those were both really good articles!

Seems “BAME” is being rejected mostly for qualities it shares with the term “PoC”.

Pretty sure the UK term was BAME, but US culture is pretty pervasive.

Worth noting that’s Hexbear not Lemmy as a whole. Hexbear has a unique culture.

To answer the question, the way you attract openly cis women is create spaces where they are definitely not bullied, trolled, and stalked. The fediverse is young and has relatively few mod tools.

There are plenty of cis women on mastodon as far as I can see.

This. Lemmy.world is probably the most vanilla. I suspect there are probably more cis women on instances like Beehaw as well.

Let us know what you go with!

That would be a really positive outcome, their commandments are pretty good.

I agree with you. Beheading means decapitation as a form of execution.

At this point it’s really splitting hairs. The IDF literally has a program called “Where’s Daddy” that allows them to make sure suspects are at home with their families when they bomb them; so I think it’s safe to infer that they intend to kill at least some portion of children.

I liked it better before miniclip bought it. There used to be a really fast paced clone called petriedish that was full of Russians, Poles, and Ukrainians, wonder what happened to it.

Allright Landlord

Staten Island.

Their harrassment of Ms Bensouda is super creepy, first they sent an envelope of money to her house and then Mossad came to her in a hotel room:

In one of the earliest encounters, Cohen surprised Bensouda when he made an unexpected appearance at an official meeting the prosecutor was holding with the then DRC president, Joseph Kabila, in a New York hotel suite.

Sources familiar with the meeting said that after Bensouda’s staff were asked to leave the room, the director of the Mossad suddenly appeared from behind a door in a carefully choreographed “ambush”.

If there’s a food source they’re all over, it will smell like that even when they leave.

Definitely. Formic acid.
