  • I’m not putting words in your mouth, that’s what you said in your comment:

    Only 40% voted for the DPP. 60% voted against the DPP. It’s just the 2 more pro-China parties got their vote split.

    No evidence the TPP wants to fight to keep their freedom? From the article you linked:

    China_ must know that it will have to pay a high price if it invades, said Ko.

    And I already posted this from your article but here again:

    The ruling Communist Party in Beijing counts Taiwan as part of its territory and has already threatened to use military means to force reunification. Ko said China demonstrates this every day, which is why Taiwan has no choice but to move closer to its ally, the US.

    China is the one threatening with an invasion, but it’s the fault of the westerners?

    Also: why so aggressive? Isn’t that a bit too western for you?


  • Engaging with China is a really broad thing to say, from the article that you posted about the TPP:

    “Taiwan’s relationship with China is based on two principles: Deterrence and communication,” said Ko Wen-je from the TPP People’s Party in Taipei on Friday.

    The ruling Communist Party in Beijing counts Taiwan as part of its territory and has already threatened to use military means to force reunification. Ko said China demonstrates this every day, which is why Taiwan has no choice but to move closer to its ally, the US.

    You said the TPP is pro-china, like the KMT, but to me it doesn’t read like that at all. China wants reunification, the TPP is highly against that and is willing to fight for their freedom.





  • It’s completely normal that your progress starts stalling after 8 months of newbie gains while being on a cut.

    If you want to continue your fat loss journey, focus on your diet: keep your protein intake high and don’t be in a too drastic but steady caloric deficit, prolonging the diet forever is not going to lead you anywhere.

    Training is secondary for you right now, don’t change programs and KISS (keep it simple, stupid).

    Seriously, you might not see any gains anymore until you are done cutting, no matter which program you do, overthinking this will only frustrate you. Remind yourself that you came a long way but that this is a long term thing, with one step at a time. Do your curls however you like (just not in the squat rack), but stop fucking around with them.



  • I’m on a german instance (feddit.de) and it’s federated with db0.

    I think it’s just lemmy.world bullshit.

    Has anyone read their post about their downtime?

    “We shouldn’t close registration or limit the amount of communities because we’re not even the biggest instance in the fediverse

    Like, what?! The argument was always that they are the biggest in Lemmy! It felt like they were trying to gaslight the users.

    Same as the other arguments, like new users being weirded out if they can’t register to lemmy.world or apps using them as default. So them being down all the time doesn’t matter? Or that lemmy.ml was the biggest instance and closed down registration and new users registered to other instances without a problem?

    I’m really weirded out how hard they try to be the “main” thing on Lemmy.


  • Interesting! I tried it a bit more:

    • I had “Undetermined”, “Deutsch” and “English” selected in my profile.
    • I was able to set the comment to “Undetermined”, but then still not able to set it to “Deutsch” (back to “English”, worked though)
    • Changing the word “homie” didn’t make a difference
    • Other comments set to “Undetermined” were able to switch to “Deutsch”
    • Other comments set to “English” (that were actually written in english) were able to switch to “Deutsch”

    Seems like it’s a problem with this comment in particular, but I can’t figure out why!

    Edit: I found another comment set to “Deutsch”, written in german, that can’t be changed no matter what.

    It has of course nothing to do with the enormous amount of money they rake through their app store by squeezing both the developers and the users.

    Why would they try to force people to only use the store by implementing more and more security features along the way!?

    It’s a mystery!
