This may seem a strange thing to say: Democracy isn't actually about finding out what the people want and just trying to do it. Democracy is about setting out a vision and a plan for the country and persuading people to follow it.

The headline is accurate, they are quoting the UNITE general secretary, who is making the accusation.

First two seem like decent ideas, the others feel like they would be easily abused.

I think they're working on some kind of opt-in moderation, basically blacklists you subscribe to.

Request to lemmy: can you please allow non-latin letters as well in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Best primer for rubber/soft plastic miniatures? (mander.xyz)

I've been away from miniature painting for a while, but I just bought the new heroquest and want to paint it.

The miniatures seem to be made of a weird rubber or soft plastic that I've not used before, what kind of primer works best on these? I'm worried normal primer will just flake off.

Edit: I probably should add, I'd prefer something I can shoot through my airbrush.
