We also share half of our DNA with bananas. Therefore, we are also siblings of bananas.

There are places on this planet where mothers just breastfeed in public and nobody cares. There are places where they only do it in private. And then there are places where it's something in between. Some do it in private because they don't want creepy stares. Some dgaf any more because they haven't slept for longer than an hour at a time since giving birth. More reasons exist for either preference.

You laid the creepy landmine yourself so that's the most likely explanation for any down vote. Also, as a young parent you will learn that nobody cares about your thoughts on parenthood outside of a small circle of close family and friends. The same applies to being shown pictures, or worse, videos of your kid.

Any slightly controversial post illustrated with an image has the look of attempted rage bait too.

"Cyberspace and the information environment" because it gets slopped with posts that were written by models.

One of the biggest problems in the world is the failure of the American education system. It produces a vast amount of ignorance and carelessness.

If all you have for dinner is soup you get what you deserve.

The Scunthorpe problem strikes again.

There are laws and case law that make criticism of Israel harder than in other places. Post WW2 pro-Nazi and antisemetic speech was basically declared hate speech. Courts have taken a narrow view of what counts as antisemetic. There are in excess of six million reasons for that hard swing in the other direction.

So I would say the long version is this: you can criticize Israel but you need to pay close attention to how you say it. Criticizing the existence of the Jewish state is possible as well but you need to weigh your words even more carefully.

Moderators on an internet forum may take an even narrower approach to avoid any sort of legal trouble. And thus continues a chilling effect.

Freedom of speech is a tricky subject. Post WW2 the US had the influence to export their constitutional values, such as a first amendment, to Japan and West Germany. In both cases they punted. It's not without some irony when I say opinions on how to establish freedom of speech in a democratic constitution vary.

On the one hand, any negative Melon Usk headline fills me with joy just like all the shit flung at Meta. On the other hand, my empathy for people living on yachts who get effed by this change particularly knows bounds.

Poland - if they didn't just forget it - may be excluded because it borders Ukraine where they use Starlink for military reasons. Maybe they preserve bandwidth or try to deter roaming tourism of rich people thrill seekers or something like that. Monaco is missing because that's basically France. It's about 4 klicks across, the satellites fly at about 500 km overhead - that's probably a rounding error. Cyprus may either be too small as well or it's excluded because it is a divided island.

If Lemmy is garbage, then why make a new account to whine about it on Lemmy?

You need to work on your anger management too. Your tone here has me thinking you were banned for a reason. Be respectful.

If you don't live there, legally or not, you don't have to do it.

Why are you the authority to change how people talk? At the risk of sounding harsh: no one cares what you think.
