Whatever progress of population there may be in the British Canadas, is only for their own early severance of their present colonial relation to the little island three thousand miles across the Atlantic; soon to be followed by Annexation, and destined to swell the still accumulating momentum of our progress.

We were so lucky for so long that they hadn't turned their attention back to us. Elbows up folks!

Let's use https://www.v-dem.net/ as the source here to determine whether this prediction is considered valid or not.

I'd wager Bezos, but it could be Zuckerberg or Sam Altman. Purpose will be to keep the other tech billionaires kissing Trump's ring -- similar to what Putin did to their oligarchs.

If you want to join a protest but the consequences may deter you. Copy pasting.

It is difficult — sometimes impossible — to stay completely anonymous while protesting, as public spaces mean TV broadcasts, journalists, and other attendees may be taking photos and videos and sharing them online or on TV.

Your presence at a protest is valued, but your safety is most important. Here are some tips to keep safe:

Cover your face with a face mask or bandana. Wearing a medical-grade mask like KN95 would also keep you safer from COVID-19.

Use a whistle under your mask, or carry a noisemaker. This helps you join in the noise without having to use your voice.

Wear a hat and sunglasses. This protects you from the sun, and keeps your face hidden.

Cover your tattoos as they can be used to identify you.

Cover yourself with a poster or banner when you see a camera. It will protect your identity and also display your message loud and clear.

Avoid posting on social media during the protest as this gives away your location and presence.

Banners and posters are usually captured on media. Keep this in mind as you walk.

If the user has more than one community they're moderating, the ModView is the feed of only those communities. It's really useful in the desktop version of Lemmy. Wish I could use it in the app. Not sure how difficult to implement. Maybe only show it if you're mod of more than one community or something, so as not to clutter the list of feeds for everyone else.

Awesome work btw. Anything I can do to help?

It was pure luck that led to the actual discovery of vitamin C. Axel Holst and Theodor Frolich had been studying beriberi (another deficiency disease) in pigeons, and when they decided to switch to a mammal model, they serendipitously chose guinea pigs, the one animal besides human beings and monkeys that requires vitamin C in its diet. Fed a diet of pure grain, the animals showed no signs of beriberi, but quickly sickened and died of something that closely resembled human scurvy.
