And enjoy Lemmy's further decline into Reddit 2.0.

Or is that going to get me banned too?

I reported things that belong to the .world instance, and therefore fall under the .world rules under the .world Terms of Service we all agreed to.

I have nothing against you or your community, and hope you're doing well healthwise.

But I've also seen you rail against "not all cops are bad" as the lie you know it is in various comment sections, and now you're using the same excuse as to why your forum shouldn't be criticized. "We're not part of that, bring it up with them, even though we belong to the same org."

The rules apply to all of the forums on the instance, or it should apply to none of them. And if such radical thinking, the notion rules should be applied evenly and not be so broad to allow anything to meet the definition, results in me being banned from .world, then I welcome it.

Ok, challenge accepted: every instance I come across from .world that has any indication of violence against anything living, well, I'll be reporting that, and I expect the mods to follow up on it quickly.

I'll start with the gardening instances, since plants do feel pain, and thus any pruning/harvesting/etc is an act of violence, and I'm surprised the .world mods haven't shut down such a violent instance.

Wait, they need to be banned outright, actually, because in order to garden, users are going to have to suggest that people dig into the dirt, and that's a pretty blatant call of violence against all organisms, including those at the microscopic level.

Better delete the woodworking instance too, since the only way to work with wood is to kill a tree and dismember its body, often skinning it immediately after it's been sawed off at the knees, juuuuuuust fresh enough to feel all the pain but not enough to fight back.

What an absolute joke.

Do they hate themselves?

I'm a somewhat adventurous eater, but the green chunks in that mould look like actual mold...

I don't read it as anon joining a game, I read it as he sat down with the group, and before they started, the girls said they would only hug anon.

Agree it's not true and made up, but I didn't get the impression that anon was intruding on the game.

Nah, there's no mention of 7 silver coins and the death of the business entity created by the government in their name.

The alternative is do nothing and then act surprised when the GOP do whatever the fuck they want anyway, regardless of Democrat high-road stances.

I wouldn't go that far...

I thought it was "nip it in the butt" as well. Listening to Les Mis 10th Anniversary Edition, the way the gentleman who plays Javert always sounded like "butt" to me as well.

To answer the other commenters question of what would that mean: for years, I thought it meant "nip" like a dog will nip your finger, and "in the butt" was like, "you'd pinch em in the butt" to get them to stop whatever they were doing.

Also thought the line "Burnin' up his fuel, out there, alone" in Rocket Man was "Burnin' up the atmos-PHERE, he's gone" for years before a friend corrected me.

Get used to hearing the "pull funding" threat, it's how they're going to start chipping away at minority rights (LGBTQ+, women, Latino, Black, etc).

Have your three branches of government pass an act tying a state-decision to federal funding ala the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984, and we're going to see state's comply.

I believe ACAB, and my cousin is actively trying to become a state trooper.

Doesn't mean I walk up and spit in his face at every family gathering. We talk, we grew up together, we shoot the shit and have a good time.

But if he asked me to condone or celebrate his job? Nah, he knows how I feel about the police and their profession, as long as he's safe and not drinking the Kool aid (he will) that's all I can hope. And that maybe he'll open his eyes someday. 🤷‍♀️

As a hard rule, though, I won't date cops or mess around with them. One reached out on a dating app recently and I just politely responded with "I'm not interested in law enforcement, sorry" to which I got "Uh, I'm actually a correctional officer."

Cool, so you abuse people after the police have finished abusing them, that's not the brag you think it is.

He will.
