The blue sky through a gap in the trees

A momentary lapse in background noise so it’s unexpectedly quiet

The feeling of wind tugging at your clothes

Rain on the roof

Kids running home from the school bus

Starlings in the tree out my office window singing

The sun on my back, the wind on my front

Sore muscles from hard exercise

The twist in a short story I read, and the wow moment

My room being tidy

Why is the word bird required? A kiwi is a kiwi, it’s literally the name of the animal. You don’t say pigeon bird?

Do you have a 401k?

ONLY A FOOL BREAKS THE TWO SECOND RULE

Working for the weekend, man.

Esp 180k years ago

Yes. Welcome to the UK. You will need to adjust to small aggravations such as this. Good luck.

Alright I gave it a fair crack across bc yt and even Spotify but what the actual fuck is this

Dagmar vork BTW in Spotify. I think about 25 of the listens are mine.

I had a look at the list and they’re not on the list, just like all of the other countries that aren’t on the list.

I hope that helps? Just reiterating, the list that you’re looking at doesn’t have all the countries in the world. It’s a short list of countries.

I mean you could look at it and say oh wow that’s six of the G7 countries, which are considered the countries which largely steer 'western" democracy and have done for the last 50 odd years, plus sweden, which is widely considered to be the most progressive western democracy, and try to work out why one of the countries on that list is so ass backwards in its social welfare.

But maybe it’d be easier to draw a comparison between that and Russia, which is a thinly veiled dictatorship and was booted out of the G8 10 years ago when it annexed Crimea, and China, which is literally ruled by the Chinese communist party. Those are two very valid and worthwhile comparisons to America, the world’s leading liberal democracy, with regards to entrenched workers rights.

After the black Saturday fires in Australia, many home owners who were insured discovered to their horror that they were under insured

The value of their possessions and the repair value of their home had increased but they hadn’t increased the level of insurance coverage to match. Despite suffering total losses, many have been unable to afford to rebuild.

This has been in the back of my mind seeing the LA fires. This is just the beginning. It will take decades for some of these people to re establish.

What narrative would that be?

‘you should’

Wait isn’t it c:\ ?

Seems being the operative word here

I think she’s good at seeming

Site size doesn’t matter; prosecution of the actual people who are associated with it still occurs.

There is practically zero risk for users of lemmy instances, but those who host the instance are identifiable through domain registration, hosting or similar.

I don’t blame the admins for acting in self interest - ultimately they’re putting in the effort and wear the risk.

If you don’t agree with it you’re welcome to host your own instance - with blackjack and hookers etc.

Hold on, think this one through.

The admins aren’t worried about jury nullification per se. They’re worried about what regulatory authority can do - shut down the instance, hold admins personally accountable etc - if the instance is classified as a media source + has content which could influence a jury.

This is no different from the advice given to other media outlets globally.

Maybe spin it this way. If the very act of having articles celebrating his actions on lemmy.world means his defense is compromised would you be OK with that?

No they haven’t. Thanks for asking.

Per some of the comments above - add urgency, being in / not being in control, exertion are all part of it.

Finishing a half marathon

Attending a concert with 20k other people and singing one of my favourite songs at the top of my lungs

The 30 to 40 seconds after my first experience scuba diving

Surfing, believe it or not. - the feeling of being picked up and pushed forward at the same time, then being in control / out of control and elated at the same time

Dancing in darkness to uplifting music, sometimes even exercising in the dark

Riding downhill trails in the dark (wirh headlight of course)

Plastic straws, clothes pegs, bottle caps, bottle rings.

It’s a bower bird performance centre. Quite literally. They make an area where they can perform for a mate.

They like the colour blue so collect heaps of blue things and decorate their bower with them.

This one has got a bunch of milk bottle caps, milk bottle cap rings, blue plastic straws and what look like pegs.

It sounds funny till you think about stuff that humans do for exactly the same reason (to be “interesting” to a prospective partner)

Bingo. I think that’s the key to it - if you do it with the intent of getting something from someone, people will work that out pretty quickly and resent it. It comes over as being…greasy.

If it’s done from the perspective of having genuine interest, care and empathy it makes it easier to work as a group.
