I genuinely scrolled up to double check the post wasn’t about an Oniom article or something. Unreal callousness.

Rent free, it’s incredible. There are plenty of places to shit on the nightmarish US prison system. This thread is for shitting on the nightmarish Chinese prison system.

Hamas just rejected a ceasefire that would have seen around 800 hostages held by Israel swapped for 40 hostages held by Hamas. Hamas have probably murdered/brutalised thrir hostages, thus negating their usefulness in swaps of this kind. Fuck Hamas and their leadership’s willingness to hole themselves away in Qatar and prolong the Palestinian suffering. The IDF should clear out and stop bombing every vaguely upright structure. It’s a lost cause, fuck colonising vultures and developerd. The IDF needs to realise you can’t kill and idea amd concentrate on just defending themselves, not trying to eradicate a terrorist group.

The magic spice

I’ve seen a few people doing it, but I (and literally any companies scraping instances for content) just lol and move on.

Oh oops, you haven’t pasted some cool copyleft licence below your words on this niche thread on a niche social media network so looks like I might remix and reuse your content without attribution… Unlucky

It’s not thriving. The devs are prickly arseholes, which is anathema to building a cooperative, volunteer-driven dev community and the tone of many mainstream communities is obnoxiously set by tankies amd their alts.

Bots are a fact of life, unfortunately.

Ddg is great for the US, but shit outside.

Honestly the Lemmy main devs just aren’t that great amd their hardline ideology pushes away plenty of potential help.

Great whataboutism, tankie scum. No shit the US does some truly fucked up shit. Nobody realistically thinks their government is a paragon of virtue. Just that the Chinese government does fucked up shit as well. Both can be true, bootlicker.

Single use bags can be sold, and are sold, for wrapping fruit and vegetables, and thin polyethylene carrier bags are atill sold, they just can’t be given away for free.

It lacks the massive audience to bear non-nerd communities. The formula1 subs are not a patch on reddit, nor are the outdoorsy, camping and flashlight communities.

Acknowledging is not perpetuating.

The blockade is enforced by Israel and Egypt together, they share the blame for this war crime.

Fuck that. Banksy wrote:

Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.

The longer quote is here.

No we absolutely do not!

Does it come as good news that cockroaches are bedbug predators? Some real “pick your poison” shit, huh?

Oh phew. I studied English Lit at university and had to wade through bits of both. I used to feel like I was some sort of uncultured swine for not “getting” them. But honestly, I just don’t think they work as novels. As a piece of art, I guess, sure. Fine and modern art can look like nonsense without context, but often make sense when seen as part of a conversation with other artists and movements. If taken like that, fine, you do you, Joycey-boy, and write incomprehensibly. I’ll be over here with my Iain Banks and Ned Beauman, enjoying them.
