Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something that's crazier than the wildest dreams of any ~1970s nerd, but exists today? I'll start with an easy one:
31·8 hours agoAh, ah, ah, “we” decided?
You sound more informed than me, but that’s about where I’m at too lol. I couldn’t see where that infographic originally came from, but I’ve spent the day reading the Wikipedia articles on these guys. Supposedly, lady beetles from all over were introduced to kill aphid populations, to varying degrees of success. It ended up harming native populations more, ofc. I guess by being better at eating prey? (Skill issue?)
yuki_gassen@lemmy.mltoShitty Ask Lemmy@lemmy.ml•If left versus right is the working class versus the capitalist class, then what is up versus down I keep hearing about in the US?
0·15 hours agoup and down is what liberals excel at. they can even spin on it.
Okay, that’s what I thought too. But then I came across this, do u think it might be a native lady beetle? Found on a reddit post (from image searching). I only ask since I’m getting more and more confused lol, I don’t see an M mark on my lil dude

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•Are there any good google maps alternatives?

Check out CoMaps! Essentially the same.
OP account is sus. Opened account 3 months ago to immediately cry wolf on GrapheneOS. Now a scam site (don’t bother opening. Probably safer not to.) Calling honeypot.

World News@lemmy.ml•Why Ukraine’s strikes on Russia’s Amazon reek of war crimes
3·2 months agoIdk, it’s kinda always going to be propaganda when there is financing involved, no? Not all propaganda is bad, it’s the interests behind it and how that financing is structured, like if it is a grassroots donation based media outlet (Democracy Now!). Correct me if I’m oversimplifying, but in the ideal sense, a PSA by the state for folks to wash their hands with soap is “good propaganda.” When the state is not a tool of the proletariat, when the state tells its citizens to be wary of their own vaccines (that had to pass their own regulations), or when the state spreads the notion that another state is committing genocide (to distract away from the genocides that our state commits/is implicit in), then it’s the bad kind of propaganda. In that sense, I think it would be good to have more anticapitalist propaganda! More art, music, documentaries, etc. Call it PSA if that sounds better lol
Housing is a commodity and an asset that “must” rise in value. Plentiful, accessible housing, or really any inelastic demand, tends to go against the desires of owners.
