It was a group project between the pantheons of old, Odin thought it was funny and Zeus was being dick. Everyone else was kinda okay with their suggestions though.

Getting Lemmy instances taken down due to us going nuts and perpetually fed posting does nothing but help shitholes like Reddit, Facebook, and Xitter.

Dude there are more people in California than any other individual state in the US, it ain’t that hard to believe their claim. Secondly their opinions match up pretty damned well with a lot of Californians, maybe not most but a solid majority hate the feds.

Regardless while I generally agree with your point, it’s largely non-applicable here simply because it’s basically an opinion I’m pretty sure a lot of folks have been thinking. Even if it is intentional propaganda from a malicious source there’s basically nothing to this beyond fuck the feds. Which I’m pretty sure is a widely held opinion in the US.

Pretty reasonable for mine. Encouragement of self harm and all that, not like I feel sorry. Would probably say far worse to the profligates face, know damned well that I’ve said worse to actual humans I care about.

Regardless the mods still have to watch their collective ass, letting Lemmy as a whole devolve into a bloodlusted fuckfest could cause problems.

Weirdly enough probably the old pre-pg13 movie ratings system. It wasn’t perfect but it did make sense, mostly because it was generally a good bit looser on a lot of things allowing more wiggle room for context. Fun fact if memory serves right the first two Indiana Jones films are PG.

As a Californian, shove it with the snark pissbag. Dudes making a statement on how the only start to be warned is ours, while asserting the authority that they infact do live within the state.

Too fast. I was thinking trench food with a side of steel lung.

Also I don’t think the term Lab Grown would really apply in this case. Unless I’m wrong I’m pretty sure the term would be lab synthesized, unless they are just using the materials to rend down into building blocks to grow cocoa artificially via some type of cellular manipulation method.

Specifically zoning laws. Personally I’m fine with keeping heavy industry away from residential but light industry, commercial, and residential should be more mixed. Same thing with certain forms of agriculture, we need to blanket legalise chickens in residential areas.

In the defense of your father that could also be down to how his brain categorizes things. Just as an example for myself, the actor Elliot Page technically has two different “entries” in my brain which if I could verbalize would be something along the lines of Ellen Page = Dead override Elliot Page = Alive, why is my brain doing it like that? Who knows, it’s probably the autism, but it does keep me from dead naming him.

You just triggered an old memory. Back when I was like 7 I remember watching some type of military debate on some type of public access thing, I think it was military historians and active duty guys talking about military communication over history interesting shit. Anyways something they say that’s kinda stuck with me was the worry of degrading autonomy within the military due to ever increasing ever improving communication capabilities and how it may get to the point that units become effectively headless should communications be disrupted.

So what happens when leadership becomes reliant on AI tools and the data centers become inoperable? Because frankly that may be an actual worry sooner than later, or advantage depending on the longevity of the federal government.

Yeah it was annoying but the sad thing is Mass Effect 2 was still an improvement over Mass Effect 1 in that regard. As much as I can enjoy the planet sections they did overstay their welcome and actively annoy me. ME2 at least never pushed it’s luck on that front.

Also even if the digital infrastructure is resilient, what about the physical infrastructure? A couple sticks of Nobels great invention and viola there’s now a gaping hole in your power transmission infrastructure or in the building itself if access can be achieved.

Meld it with traditionally progressive symbols, though that’d take some effort it wouldn’t be too difficult so long as you effectively ran it by committee. For example something along the lines of having “Bash a Fash” in English, “Blòt them fast” in Futhark. Like I said it would take some effort but it could work, kinda like how quite a few Hellenic Neo-Pagans are explicitly progressive while Ultra-Orthadox eastern Orthodoxy is usually fascistic.

Mind you this does require some level of large scale action it shouldn’t be too hard at least here in the US. Most modern fascists, reactionaries, and conservatives wrap themselves in the cross so what better way than invoking Christendoms last large pagan foe.

Just a hypothetical example I’ve thought of, if protesting a mega church or Bible thumper dress up as a bunch of vikings and invoke Lindisfarne. Show up in a pick up with daneaxe in one hand a protest sign/shield in another, IDK just spitting ideas. Like I said it would have to be consistent and careful so as to not invite the wrong types on accident.

Also it’d be funny to sue the cops for taking a daneaxe on religious grounds.

Swap Indian for Thai and you just described the food options in my Redneck SoCal city.

Yeah but technical definitions often times interact with and affect legal definitions. This often times results in a shit tonne of archaicisms to pop up and why lawyers speak fair folk, because sometimes a term in common parlance has an entirely different meaning in legallese.

I’ve also heard at least one person claim they think Vance had Charlie Kirk killed so as to get with Erika Kirk. Which while weird isn’t even outside of the realm of possibility funny enough, I could definitely see Vance being part of a plot to kill old bleedy kneck to get with Mrs. Bleedy kneck.

Remember, no Russian.

It’s basically just his word for it. But he was in pretty constant contact with white people so I can assume he knew what he was looking at, this would’ve happened in the 1700s. As for what these possibly Russians were doing? Sounds like a slave raid by all accounts possibly out of Vladivostok or a similar port city, which basically garuntees that this was very illegal, also at best you’d probably get some landing sites and whatnot but I suspect that those have either been destroyed or are obscured at this point.
