Maybe you were upvoting things that Reddit was finding against their ToS?
I saw something about them previously warning users for things that they had been upvoting.
And, a fair warning, your upvotes and downvotes on the fediverse/Lemmy are public even if it’s not shown to you within the Lemmy interface itself.
I tag users with extreme views in any direction.
It helps to recognize them in most discussions.
I’m not sure that there’s any aspect about this news that’s truly “uplifting”.
One thing that bothers me, and what everyone should know, is proper placement for defibrillator pads if you’re using an AED.
It’s not 2 pads on the chest, it’s one pad on the upper chest (almost shoulder) on one side, and the other pad goes lower on their side. You’re trying to have the current go through their heart (not skip over the top of their skin).
The AEDs found in public locations are all very easy to use and all have pictures for the proper placement. Just open it up and it will tell you everything you need to do. Have someone nearby look for one at the same time you’re asking someone else to call emergency services.
They should all have razors if you need to get a little hair off (in case the person is especially hairy for one of the pad placements).
Or you bought his car before you saw him for what he is. Tesla’s have been around for almost 2 decades now.
I actually saw the opposite last week. It was a Tesla but on the back was a sticker that looked like this:
Rather than removing entirely, it would be great if we had a community where we could just upload our top comments to, and then redirect users from Reddit to your comment on a Lemmy instance.
On Reddit users would see something like:
This has been deleted in protest of Reddit’s privacy policy. If you really want to know what was written here, please see my comment on this alternative service here: https://piefed.social/post/740543#comment_6045217
Using pie fed here because it’s (probably?) less likely to be caught by some Reddit automod filter, I think other redditors might be attracted to it more, I’ve heard they abstract votes* to a different account from your actual account (slightly more privacy that way), and it’s good to spread out user bases among the fediverse instances.
You could do something similar with your top posts. Just repost it to the appropriate community and then edit the post on Reddit to redirect there through pie fed.
*Edit: Pie fed only votes with anonymous accounts for you when sharing votes with an untrusted instance. So not quite as privacy oriented as I had originally thought.
He does give money to politicians and the Gates Foundation does as well:
What do you have against massages? I find them relaxing.
While the goal post keeps moving, it’s the opposite of your statement. As explained in the article:
That target would represent a doubling in spending for the nonprofit, which has disbursed more than $US100 billion since it was co-founded by Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates in 2000. Originally, the foundation was set to close 20 years after the Microsoft co-founder’s death.
“I have decided to give my money back to society much faster than I had originally planned,” Gates, 69, wrote in a statement. “I will give away virtually all my wealth through the Gates Foundation over the next 20 years to the cause of saving and improving lives around the world.”
How much would his estate taxes be vs giving up 99% of his fortune?
Same, I read enough about Trump in other communities. I’d like this community to focus on more uplifting stories.
You get ads even if you pay for the more expensive ad-free subscription.
At least those seem to be rare, only at the beginning, and they let you skip, but it’s frustrating that you have to do that at all.
He’s following you, about 30 feet back.
Could you imagine if they had just walked all the way to Mordor?
Found some of the footage from the rescue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIQz5RBKUsA
Yeah, that makes sense. I agree, I wish this was such a common thing that it wasn’t even newsworthy.
But for now I’m glad that some news organizations have started categories that focus on positive news stories like this. This one in particular is part of the Guardian’s “Kindness of Strangers” series. It looks like they started this series about 6 months ago.
I think these teens went above and beyond more than just “being kind to strangers”.
For the next few months, those teenagers were such a great help to me. Anytime I crutch-walked past them they would ask how I was and if I needed a hand with anything. They took my bins out for me and if they saw me at the corner store, they would let me cut in line ahead of them, so I didn’t have to stand around waiting as long.
I think my favorite quote from Richard Munoz was:
A lot of people were kind to me during that injury experience – and a few weren’t kind at all! – but by far the most helpful were those teens.
Stories like this absolutely have a place in the news (and especially in this community) as hopefully it inspires others to go above and beyond in being kind to strangers.
This question really shouldn’t be that hard to answer. Here’s the video that was shown at the Whitehouse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLDl3mblm-c
Video of the full meeting (I set the link to skip ahead to the part where the TV is brought in) if you want to see President Cyril Ramaphosa’s reaction to it: https://odysee.com/@NTD:2/live-trump-holds-bilateral-meeting-2:5?t=1313
Besides the video of the crosses along the road, there are video clips of the Economic Freedom Fighter’s leader, Julius Malema calling for a bloody revolution as well as chanting with large crowds to “kill the Boer” (white man/farmer).
There are no timestamps/locations for any of the video clips, but it looks like this guy founded the Economic Freedom Fighters back in 2013.
