I love this story, thanks for sharing it.

Yeah I’m finding beehaw a great, very active community. They’re doing something right.

I’m glad people have correctly realized that the French should be associated with violent anti government riots and not surrendering. That was a meme that needed to die.

Enjoy your time making the world a less safe and happy place.

Not able to keep the pretense up long eh?

It’s not much better in other places. Lots of us rely on being “better than the us” so as it slides, so do we, just a few meters behind.

Politicians need to actually feel concerned about how the people they are hurting will respond. Currently they know there will be nothing more than a few grouchy news articles and upset social media comments.

I hope that the things you’ve wished on me and mine do not befall you, because I’m not a monster.

No you see? He’s being polite. That means the meme he posted a few hours ago about feeding my kids and I into a wood chipper was just a ❤️fun light hearted joke❤️ and we should lighten up. It’s not as if someone murdered a few people in Manitoba over exactly this stuff a few days ago or anything.

It’s been going on for most of the server’s lifespan. The vote to defederate exploding heads was a week ago now, and afaik the dude hasn’t commented on it yet. Admins for the instance have said “we need more time”.

IDK. I like this account but I think I’m going to close it off and go to another instance, maybe I’ll return if this one gets its “sh.it” together. It’d be one thing to be given a reason for disregarding the vote - then I could decide if I agree or not - but the radio silence feels disrespectful given the nature of the request.

Glad another Marxist said it. The problem isn’t that capitalism was always the wrong choice, it’s that we’re clinging to it long beyond its best before date.

I’m puzzled what’s surprising about this.

I’m not LGBT, or American, but seeing people online suddenly talk openly with a great deal more vitriol and hatred about my friends, and even my child, caused me a fair bit of stress.

Build trust by having AMAs of interesting non-celebrity people.

In japan they put the handwashing sink on the back of the toilet. It’s smaller, smarter, and doesn’t look weird and gross like this.

Then they brush their teeth in a different room so their toothbrush isn’t two feet from their shit.

I don’t think they’d bring anyone from outside Lemmy.

I think the right way to go is fine a good local computer store with knowledgeable people and get their help parting out and assembling it. You get some repair coverage and benefits like that, they do the bulk of the work, and you can put your own options in on anything you’re knowledgeable about. It’s what I’ve done and it’s well worth it for the small extra cost.

No idea, maybe people don’t know the sub and assume it’s Mra? Menslib was an excellent subreddit and I really want to see it back.

These are millenial shooters dangit, boomers were too old for doom. Gen X at most.

More seriously though I just replayed the OG doom and it still slaps, nice to see some folks are trying to recapture that. I should check these out.

I don’t understand why anyone is naïve enough to still preorder from companies like Bethesda.

Mostly I don’t understand pre-ordering games at all (patient gamers represent) but from Bethesda? You’re basically paying to get kicked in the shins. Surely we all know this by now.

Tempted to plug in, you mean?

Generally speaking the folks here are right, you should be able to maintain veganism unless things go really sideways. I’d recommend getting in touch with a dietician though if you’re really worried (not a nutritionist, different beast) and having them go over your plans. Iron deficiency is a particular risk, one that can be easily surmounted as long as you’re aware of it… Way harder to keep iron up when pregnant even than usual, and it’s already tough as we all know.
