Truly a masterful expert in the field of… Uhhh… Hmm…

BRB, building a dimensional portal to GTFO of this stupid timeline.

Via the peersperation protocol?

Make sure not to play any tracks that could be considered ‘fire’.

I recall what you’re talking about, but was it even attached to the fedi? I thought it was a xitter thing to compare your style to others.

Ehh, there’s a sliding window for things where the common interpretation changes. A term can be offensive to one group for reasons not commonly acknowledged by the rest of society, at what point is it generally deemed unacceptable?

One in particular that comes to mind is the term ‘retarded’, which at some point was a medical term of art. Over time it became generally used in a derogatory fashion, was replaced in professional language by more specific clinical terms and treated as a slur by society, but there wasn’t some defining body that declared it so.

Because the admin lets me post semi-random thoughts on it, plus it makes a nice space heater in the winter and background noise in the summer.

Couple dead pixels from a particularly bright light might well make them unable to do their plate reading job efficiently. Might make for an interesting study.

Define funny. Statistically people fart several times a day and some people find that hilarious.

If one wants to be an ‘aktually’ arse then take note that ‘declawing’ is actually a much more precise term than ‘mutilation of extremities’ which could perfectly well mean putting their tail in a wood chipper and be technically correct

On a whole I don’t support any sort of unnecessary bodily modification, declawing, tail bobbing, circumcisions, or whatever.

What bothers me is when people find it necessary to interject some unneeded drivel because of some passing word that’s a perfectly well accepted term.

Do you just go around looking to be offended?

no rush for bush now shush your tush and pass the kush

Says the dude keeping a case of it in the bathroom of his house.

Authoritarian theocracies are bad, M’kay?

Sometimes people provide help to those they see as on the right side of a conflict, see Ukraine for example.

Let me guess, the Iranian government is innocent and the people looking to change it are rioting militias paid off by some shadowy cabal to overthrow them? CIA everywhere man…

Beauty of the fedi, you can post from one instance to another without needing a separate account. For example mine is a single person instance with no local comms, yet here I am.

Edit: I think I missed the intent of the question. What you would look for is just the same of the [email protected] on your own local base and assuming that federation functional between the instances it’ll show up to subscribe to. There’s no translation needed, but if you’re the first to subscribe from your home instance it might not show up right away.

No, I’m using ‘she’ in the context of the medicine woman in your story, or more simply, those continually suggesting non-support for the Democrat party because of their failings. The math of our system allows for two parties at most in the sense of presidential elections.

Rather than seeking to push people away from the D’s it would be a far more beneficial thing to work to implement local and state level rank choice or similar system votes. Until that happens it’s a choice of 2 options, and one, while dull and stagnant, is leagues ahead of the other in terms of treating the population with some level of civility and dignity.

I would be more inclined to view it as she’s actively trying to dissuade people from helping the patient that everyone knows is sick.

Proposing running better candidates isn’t the same as ‘genocide joe’ was objectively worse and did x/y/z things that means the D’s are bad compared even to the current situation. It’d be lovely to get some younger, more progressive sorts out there, but when the alternative is what we have now and people stay home because someone doesn’t pass their ideals test that’s a bad trade for all of us.
