Don't let those shitheels from hexbear get you down. I joined in the 196wave but I've stayed because blahaj is the safe trans affirming space I need right now, and from what I've seen you've been a key voice in making that happen. Thank you for all the hard work you do!

Yes! I 110% agree!

Fuck, I'm glad they defederated. Now feeding have to worry about making that decision.

Wait what? That... Shows a lack of understanding toward how the world operates. NATO, with all its faults, does a great job at uniting our world.

Oh yeah, there's a lot of good shit in knowing your country won't get invaded by it's neighbors.

[–] yellow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or knowing that you can invade Libya in a pinch.

They went into Libya due to the Libyan civil war and Gaddafi's attacks on civilians which were crimes against humanity.

Did it go well? Not so much in the aftermath. They did succeed in removing the dictator that was committing crimes against humanity. But it went poorly after that likely due to the new Libyan government asking for NATO to stay in the country for a few more months to help them establish their government, but NATO left a week after the death of Gaddafi instead due to the UN security council voting for them to leave the country by the end of October (11 days after Gaddafi's death).

Could it have been handled better? Probably.

But is it fully a condemnable action? No.

Oopsie. Well I guess that's why pencils have erasers. As long as we've learned our lesson about funneling massive amounts of money and arms to questionable militias, we should be fine.

Are you saying that you supported Gaddafi and his soldiers slaughting protestors and shelling civilians?

I hope NATO pulls a WWII and goes to war with the USA when the Republicans start the second holocaust

Ada is the instance mama and our resident tech sorceress, she is the GOAT

[–] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm new here and of course respect Ada already, but I thought she is only a mod. She is the instance host? Is she tech smart? Where can I read the backstory lore and fanfics

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 year ago

I am one of the two instance admins. @supakaity and I run the instance together. She does the tech side, and I do the front of house stuff

[–] supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year ago

Oh let me count the ways...

Ada is super smart and knowledgeable across a broad range of topics from physics, astronomy and technology all the way to the subgenus species and origins of varieties of birds.

She's pretty, loving, caring, empathetic. She has a big strong heart.

But the ruthlessness and absolute conviction which comes out whenever she sees something wrong... that is honestly the most awesome thing about her. The way she goes from zero to 100 in under a second, that's her true superpower, and quite something to see.

I'm somewhat enamored, tbh.

This is supakaity erasure smh

[–] supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's okay...

Ada is actually really great, and a tech girl in her own right.

She honestly just lets me play being the tech wizardess cause it goes with my aesthetic.

[–] Vlaxtocia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Omg nooooo I feel bad now! Your tech witchery is amazing too, I just meant because those trolls called her out specifically and said some awful lies, so I wanted to show some community love to her 💕

[–] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 year ago

I want to add that all the mods had to stand ground for us. Thank you so much, this was the best outcome. You did it.
