Sorry for the short post, I'm not able to make it nice with full context at the moment, but I want to quickly get this announcement out to prevent confusion:
Unfortunately, people are uploading child sexual abuse images on some instances (apparently as a form of attack against Lemmy). I am taking some steps to prevent such content from making it onto lemm.ee servers. As one preventative measure, I am disabling all image uploads on lemm.ee until further notice - this is to ensure that lemm.ee can not be used as gateway to spread CSAM into the network.
It will not possible to upload any new avatars or banners while this limit is in effect.
I'm really sorry for the disruption, it's a necessary trade-off for now until we figure out the way forward.
Using wikipedia is dogshit, stop using it.
The World Bank data is here, which is the same data used in the study: https://datatopics.worldbank.org
The actual current data is:
USA: 77.28
Cuba: 77.57
Vietnam: 75.38
China: 78.08
Hong Kong is not a country, it is a city in China. Individual cities are not good examples of life expectancy when life expectancy of cities typically outperforms life expectancy of rural regions due to quicker access to life-saving medical facilities afforded by density. This is why you really shouldn't rely on Wikipedia for your understanding of anything. You should go to primary sources yourself instead of allowing editors to curate and present information for you.
Irony?
Worldbank.org
I don’t get the irony. Your data is either not found or decades old. Then you shut down Wikipedia, which has sources cited.
I can make an image to display whatever info I want. Your sources are poor, or biased.
Bro it's the world bank. If you can't access it that's a problem on your fucking side not the most reliable data source used in academia for nations on the fucking planet.
Holy fucking shit is this your first time even hearing about them? Do they teach anything in your schools at all?

So, http://youre.fullofsh.it
Nice try though.
Lmao, good work chief. You tried nothing and are proud af.
https://databank.worldbank.org/
Here, took me 10 seconds of googling to find the main directory. You'll have to type in the search parameters yourself, because im not as nice as Awoo.
Let me understand this… you send me a url that is invalid. Then you mock me because I can’t get an invalid link to work. Then, you correct yourself and blame the issue on me, and not you.
Oh and, you forgot to switch your account back.
Every accusation a confession
That doesn’t even make sense.
Also, blocked. Have a great night, nothing personal… just not into bear piles.
Fuck capitalism ✌️
It makes perfect sense- they're pointing out you're probably projecting your assumption of account swapping. Those two users are quite certainly different people with different posting habits and pretty significant history on our site.
It’s just funny how y’all flock.
There's a lot of us, and we're ideologically correct and happy to explain why.
Well, “correct” is relative and none of you seem to be willing to participate in a two-way conversation. It just ends up in failed attempts to “win” some kind of game I wasn’t aware we were playing.
I mean, this thread is a great example. I asked what countries are currently communist and successful (relative yes).
The answer included the USSR. They can’t even be bothered to know their own shit. And instead of going “oops, my bad,” like an adult, it escalates and they all sniff it out and pile on.
Honestly, most people find hexbears pretty funny (like funny sad). And when questioned on specific views, they sound very NOT communist.
I have to remind myself, hexbears are just the LEFTY extremist trolls and their methods are identical to righty extremist trolls, and to not feed the bear. (But it’s so fun to watch you all dodge questions)
For the record, I’m very left. Socialist even. Not so much communist, but we share a lot of ideas. I also believe trolling the left pushes them further center, and it is counterproductive outside of your own instance.
That is a hilarious take since I've read through it and found that you will weasel away from the issue at every possibility, including pretending not to know how the internet works. It's quite disingenuous and I'm sure that passers-by reading the exchange will come to the same conclusion.
I made myself pretty clear. The url didn’t work, and it’s not my job to find their sources after supplying my own that was disliked.
They weaseled out of my questions, so I don’t see a need to give theirs any interest.
I see you just weaseled away from everything else I said. So, your attempt at insult appears to be you looking in a mirror.
I don’t need to convince you. I know trolls won’t ever back down, even when wrong. You all have identical flawed arguments and methods of attack. I find it quite entertaining how exactly the same you all are.
But, as long as you’re not voting for the righties, I can’t really hate you. 🤷♂️
honestly, the "nuh uh, YOU" responses are too good, it's like just admitting that you're outclassed and won't bother to engage
I agree, they did that.
"nuh uh YOU" again
flawless
The awesome part is that’s what you’re doing. ❤️
I love the argument style of trolls. It’s all whatabout, and bombarding. I like to just let it play itself out. The only person who cares is them.
I bet you can’t even tell me what we all were originally talking about without making up something that eventually turns into an insult. That’s the tactic of a troll, never get to the point.
Different user Lib, and no. I'm mocking you for being unable to do even the most trite bit of googling.
Why would I do someone else’s job for them? We should all pull our own weight, comrade.
Life expectancy has 0 results. What would you like me to search for?
https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.LE00.FE.IN?locations=CN
Damn thats weird
Wait so it’s data.worldbank.org lol
What happened to databank.worldbank.org?
You guys love to give shit, but you’re tripping all over yourselves.

You’re inflating my interest. They’re just unable to say “oh I gave you the wrong link, here is the right one.”
deleted by creator
If I gave bad url, you would have mocked me. You’re giving your comrade a break.
I will only put forth the amount of effort they do. If they can’t be bothered to check their work, I’m not going to be bothered to assist them in finding their own sources.
Either way, the data has nothing to do with the main topic, so I’m wondering how we got here. Adios.
Correct
I can’t tell if I love you or hate you.
That's literally not what you just linked to lol. It's what I linked to sure. But you know how to type in a basic URL instead of a subdomain that's only used for certain links.
The url error on my part is irrelevant. You're pretending to be internet illiterate for the sake of defending a position you already know can't be defended. This is what you people always do, rather than accept that any real analysis of human conditions under socialism vs capitalism does not support capitalism you deflect.
Please provide a link to your source that a person can click and get the info. Check your URL before sending.
Also, please stop trying to gaslight me. If you can’t provide actual data—just leave.
You are not a moron, stop pretending to be. You know how to use the internet. You don't "win" by saying "please provide a link". It's there on the worldbank site, look it the fuck up and stop resorting to debatebro redditisms. If you spoke like this to someone in person they would punch you in the face.
Pull your weight, comrade. You cite a source link, make it work. Don’t be lazy.

I can’t. Blocked. Too many of you all at once. Blocking you too cause you’re just coming in for seconds.
