If i’m not mistaken, the very last graph showing posts by month shows a significant decreasing over the summer, or at least specifically july (since august is not over yet). It says June is around 12M posts and July around 9M. August seems already over 9M and we’re only 2/3 in, so maybe there was some drop around July for some reason, which could explain OP’s feeling.

As for the reason, i’m not sure, maybe a combination of factors like some server blocking access from UK with the latest privacy bullshit, some server having signficant downtime (i think slrpnk.net had a problem with servers locking themselves up while tech admin was abroad), and maybe non-Lemmy factors like holidays (though they don’t seem to impact previous years stats).

From what i learned from french investigation media Mediapart, it included slapping, strangling, being asked to hit someone else, among other humiliations.

I’d say the layer of grilled cheese would technically make a separation between the two lasagna (yes im fun at party)

From what i get from English wikipedia, it’s mainly preparing curricula for basic and secondary education, participating in the education field’s regulations, and acting as a central organizer for administrative things relating to education.

China too it seems, from what the comment says

Okay, my mistake, i misinterpreted it. To be fair with BBC, they point out in the title and article that this is just some transcript of someone anonymous, and they try to tie each allegation with reports from other sources to back up their likeliness. I guess it’s the best you can do with someone anonymous ? Revealing the company, dates, or town might compromise the anonymity. I have this low-key uncomfortable feeling of “well, there’s nothing that proves it” with most anonymous reports i read or hear, even when it’s for events that are common otherwise.

There are also reports by companies and american judiciary system. Now, those are biased voices too, they lack clear proof of what happened, and they probably make it bigger than it is, but i find it unlikely that this is 100% bs and staging : if i had that much resources to pour into staging something, i think it would be more convincing.

Is it really hard to make a classic beer bottle stand in sand? I’d think that by “screwing” it you can make the sand underneath flat enough, but i never actually tried so I’m maybe missing some obvious practical obstacle.

Is that a pick-up line? Can we flirt on lemmy?

Oh yeah, the famous “if you fight evil, you cannot be evil”

The wikipedia page :

Lim disappeared from South Korea in 2017. According to the police, her home was left virtually untouched.

In June 2017, Lim reappeared in an interview on North Korean TV. During the interview, she claimed that life in South Korea is “hell on earth,” and said that she regretted her decision to defect, and later begged Kim Jong Un for forgiveness. She claimed to be living with her parents in the North Korean city of Anju. It was also her last known appearance.

This sure looks like a definitive win for NK here, absolutely no reason to consider this might be a staging. Also 8 years old news really feels like a sign that this is a widespread movement.

Honestly if it is, i can’t tell which interests it serves. Makes every country look like morons.

That would make sense ! When i heard about it, it was florists advising to buy an even number from the start, so the meaning of it probably got lost somewhere, but i like the explanation.

It is also present in France, i heard about never making an even bouquet, and judging by the internet, it’s because it’s also meant for funerals.

Which would make that moment around the 80s, when the Groenland population reach a relatively stable 50k and the US + CCCP warheads make a peak from 50k to 65k (excluding other nuclear arsenals)

Or maybe the uniparty is a bad enough option so you keep not voting for it and allowing Hell On Earth instead. Fuck em both, but let’s stop pretending we are superior for not voting, that’s not the point.
