worth noting, e-mail however was... If I recall ascii porn was among the first things sent.

I view the general problem with it is simply the existence of other societies.

IE lets say you have 4 societies on an island. 3 of them put all of their focus into developing a sustainable workable long term solution, farming/fishing etc....

1 of them, works on building weapons and attacking the other 3. Result, the murderous colony kills the other 3, then eventually either learns to act like the ones it killed and produce food, or it dies out with nothing left to raid.

Or like say rabbits, if you try and raise rabbits. You drop 2 in the wolf enclosure and see what happens. obviously the result is the rabbits die out. it's not that rabbits aren't a viable evolutionary path. It's that without time and space to grow their numbers before getting encroached by the nearby predators, there's no shot.

Point I'm making is... the biggest problem of developing any system, that works better on the whole. is outside interference. It's the same concept that say modern manufacturing would make smaller and lighter cars better and far more cost efficient. They would be safer except for the fact that they wouldn't survive a collision with an SUV. It's not the smaller lighter car that's the problem. It's the established systems with their flaws are integrated into society.

I'd say the presence of, non law abiding humans, is also a factor when talking illegally manufactured alchohol as well. But yeah the additional toxins etc... is a much bigger factor in meth rather than alchohol.

Also western propaganda. Russia isnt ‘taking’ anything theyre liberating Ukrainians who have been under the rule of an illegitimate empire installed government since 2014 and have already voiced they want to be closer to russia

Ah yes good old liberating the people, kind of like when Iraq and Venuzuela hailed the united states as liberators,

best I'm finding on that polling is https://www.kiis.com.ua/?lang=eng&cat=reports&id=236

To which, almost 70% supported open borders and friendly relations with russia, with absolute seperation and complete mergers both being under 15%.

Also if they wanted to just let russia have ukraine why haven't they done another revolution like they did their pro russian leader that tore up the EU negotiations they had.

North korea can be propogandized like crazy because... unfortunately one of it's defining traits is preventing it's people from talking to the world. Ukranians seem pretty darn determined not to be "liberated". Hell I'd imagine the war would be over pretty darn fast if the ukranians wanted it. White flags, surrender, get captured to protect themselves if their government is making them fight by intimidation.

That's still the thing though, yes both of those are factors, but at least in cases of NSFW content being posted to a non NSFW subreddit, the users and mods can tell at first sight of the content, that it doesn't belong. while a large portion of illegal NSFW content, is very difficult to distinguish from legal NSFW content.

yes but it's more obvious in other instances. IE much easier to tell naked or non naked rather than 17 or 20, or someone posting image of themselves vs someone sending something their ex sent to them before their breakup.

No expert but things being NSFW isn't the greatest moderation threat to, well NSFW stuff. It's the ability to respond quickly when not legal in most countries images are posted. IE particularly age or willingness of the participants.

Mainly because they've done better at it than the big tech forums have. Bottom line social media is in absurdly hard category for anyone to break into once someone else has a grip. Not sure if you remember google's huge flop when they tried to step in facebooks terf with google plus (Which I do have to say, from a design and functionality level, was a decade ahead of facebook, but google's attempt to shove it down everyone's throats, was horrendous).

Bottom line, if you don't care about who's running it, the best social media platform, is the one that everyone's already using. The existing company has to REALLY fsck it up big time to actually lose that advantage, and the competition has to, at least appear to be a trustworthy company. MS, Google, Facebook etc... would not have a good trust factor if they were to try to make a reddit like website, and reddit's just not done enough to scare off the common users to leave a power vaccume that will draw an audience bigger than say what we have here on lemmy.

Jesus, what's next.

You didn't give passion of the Christ 5 stars, you must not be a true American.

Top it off though, it's fricking insane that say, supporting feminism is fair to show motive and intent. Meanwhile didn't rittenhouse have like major tweets basically saying that he was hoping for a chance to shoot some protestors, before crossing state lines and shooting some protestors, and the court ruled his public statements would unfairly bias the jury or some nonsense?

I mean it's a grey area there... I think the overall propoganda created after vietnam (Rambo movies etc...), helped people learn to seperate and understand that a war can be wrong, and the soldiers can be good people serving their country.

IE maybe it's the bubbles I live in, and most these memories are pre-trump, but I heard no shortage of people that could go off for hours on how horrible the war on terror was, how stupid and monsterous bush was to send so many to kill and be killed, and still go out of their way to say "thank you for your service" to men coming back from iraq.
