Looks like I struck a nerve! Go on, keep making a fool of yourself, it’s quite entertaining :P

Well, you utterly failed at doing so, didn’t proofread your insult, and made a fool of yourself. Great job!

Gratitude hasn’t killed any billionaires or shareholders, nor is it bringing down costs or stopping the rise of fascism right now.

Oh come on, at least spell it correctly if you’re gonna try and insult someone’s intelligence.

Plastic surgery in particular can become straight up addictive to some people with body image issues. As an example, it led Pete Burns of the band Dead or Alive to have over 300 surgeries, some of which were botched and led to severe health issues. He still kept doing it right up until his death.

I used to watch AXP and still watch Matt Dillahunty every now and then. It really is wild how shocked and offended most of the callers get when they actually face resistance and are told to back up their beliefs with evidence. None ever can.

Just like most religious folk, they didn’t actually read their own holy book. Just whatever was cherrypicked and spoonfed to them by their religious leaders.

Why on earth would I go to Hexbear when I’ve already made it pretty clear I have a strong distaste for .ml? Hexbear is full of the very same pro-authoritarian types and that instance has an awful reputation for brigading and harassing communities. I’ve seen this myself the numerous times they attempted to federate with other instances, my own included. No thanks.

Of course knot.

The fact they don’t list dissent or criticism of China/Russia as being bannable in the rules is one of the bigger problems. They will just ban you for Rule 1 or 2, neither of which have anything to do with that and leaving banned users scratching their heads wondering what they did wrong. Meanwhile to the other .mls, it just looks like the devs banned someone for a “legitimate” reason because the devs will leave a comment painting the banned user’s comment in that light.

Example: User “BillyBobJones” expresses a dislike of China’s genocide of the Uyghur Muslims. Dessalines or Davel will quickly ban BillyBobJones under Rule 1 or 2 for, say, “racism”. Then they will leave a comment under the deleted comment accusing BillyBob of saying something racist and saying that’s why BillyBob was banned. Unless an .ml user bothers to check the modlogs, they won’t know what BillyBob actually said and will praise Dessalines/Davel for removing a racist. Dissenter removed, echo chamber reinforced.

The instance admins of lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml, who are also the developers of Lemmy, have a wide variety of harmful views including genocide denial, transphobia, and support for authoritarian regimes. They are incredibly ban-happy and spend an unreasonable amount of time removing dissenting opinion from their communities instead of developing the platform. They’ve got a bunch of people in a complete echo chamber where saying anything critical about their favourite regimes earns you a ban despite there being no rules against it. Their users tend to also be the genocide denying, authoritarian bootlicking type.

I’m Canadian lmao, you couldn’t tell by my instance?

Speak for yourself. Russia is directly involved in the current disaster that is the U.S. government. Meddling with and destabilizing their enemies has been their primary tactic for decades.

For me it was a game that used to be on Adult Swim’s website, it was a top-down open world pizza delivery game in the style of the first two Grand Theft Auto games. You had to deliver pizzas to some funny characters without crashing and damaging them or running over too many pedestrians and getting caught by the police. With the exception of mimes and guys in hot dog costumes which gave you bonus points, of course. You’d get fired if you got caught by the police too many times or wreck too many pizzas.

Ended up finally finding it last year, it’s called Pizza City. It’s no longer on Adult Swim, but has thankfully been preserved on other sites like Kongregate and archive.org. Still holds up to this day as a fun game!

Not with your attitude, we won’t be.

You should’ve specified that’s what you were looking for, then.

Nope! The electric siren wasn’t invented until 1905 by William Box. The steam locomotive hadn’t been invented until 1802 when Richard Trevithick built the first. Steam engines in general were still in their relative infancy by 1800, and the closest we had to a warning siren before 1800 was a device invented by John Robison that was used to power some of the pipes in a musical organ rather than warn anyone.

Donald Trump is already Vilified by most of the country anyway, so why not?

Milk-drinkers and the Thalmor, probably. Damn elves.

Absolutely nothing!
