  • Dear Kevin

  • For those who enjoy a little racism with their misogyny, there's a way to disambiguate one of the B colors.

  • What's your advice for someone driving their first manual transmission car?

    Jump

  • Learn to shift based off the sound of the engine, don't stare at the tachometer.

    Unless you're like my grandpa who had his engine replaced at 20k miles because he revved the engine until he could hear it running before putting it into gear. Between quieter modern engines, and his hearing not being as good as it once was, that meant he redlined it in the driveway every time he started the engine.

    He only got a couple more years out of the new engine, but that was because he couldn't turn his head very well either so he didn't bother looking before changing lanes.

  • Is it okay for gay people to call ourselves homophobic slurs?

    Jump

  • I, personally, have no issue with being gay, agender, or affectionately or sarcastically referring to oneself as a faggot, but none of that is relevant to the particular usage that got you in trouble.

    You weren't talking about yourself. You tried to bait another party into using hate speech to escalate a dispute. You wanted to weaponize a slur to play the victim and get someone else in trouble. And you did so in a public place where your behavior caused offense to bystanders.

  • What is an opposite version of a cult ?

    Jump

  • Fraternal service association, like Elks Club or Rotary Club? They may have traditions, but not a theology. They're nominally harmless, if not beneficial, both to members and to the community at large. They're easy to leave, just stop paying your dues.

  • Do you ever use words from different countries?

    Jump

  • Uff-da

    If all meat was banned except for insects, would you eat insects?

    Jump

  • If you fry them with enough butter and garlic, even bugs taste like food.

  • 4 different "blogs" with the same content?

    Jump

  • Some affiliate marketer running A/B/C/D analytics on a fake review site. Maybe one of the sites gets better SEO rankings, or a higher click-through rate on the payload. The data will be duly noted and applied to the optimization of future reviews and review blogs.

    None of the "reviewers" reviewed anything, or was ever in the same room as any of the products "tested". No effort was made to provide value to you, the reader. Everything on those pages is committed to a single purpose: defrauding Google into defrauding their user base with bad search results. Probably LLM co-authored too, but I've seen similar things before the recent AI boom.

    Marketers will destroy anything of value if allowed. This is why we can't have nice things.

  • What are the ethics behind purchasing a book from an author you don't agree with?

    Jump

  • Some do, and inter-library loans are a thing.

  • WTF is this ad in my recording app

    Jump

  • I now see that the body part in the penultimate image is an eyelid. The first one still looks like pink fuzzy penises to me. What do you think it is?

  • Why is it okay for shit to go down the drain but not food?

    Jump

  • So don't poop in the kitchen sink. Got it!

  • NSFW Deleted

  • There are, and my state would have banned those too it they'd heard about them when they were banning RCV. They weren't making principled objections like monotonicity failures. They likely noticed that most of RCV's loudest advocates were from the wrong party (and some of the were the wrong color too!), and figured that was a good enough reason to shut it down.

  • Palm Springs Bombing Kills 1 and Damages Fertility Clinic, Mayor Says

    Jump

  • I haven't seen the bombers name, picture, or manifesto. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this was a terrorist and a bad person. I promise not to change my mind about this tomorrow when more details about the bombers background are known.

  • Can you read and understand this passage?

    Jump

  • I would have understood Michaelmas as the feast day of Saint Michael. My studies of hagiography are too limited to say which day that is or why he got sainted. Nor did I know that British people used (maybe still use) that term to refer to an entire season.

  • Probably spoofed, but that doesn't necessarily make it meaningless. If you convert numbers to letters per the telephone code, and treat 1 as a space or similar punctuation. It might resolve to KISH NORM. Is that phrase meaningful to you? Do you know anyone who would spoof a callerid to send you that message?

  • My dearest Lemmy, what is the appliance you have the most beef with?

    Jump

  • My microwave's beeper only work in 10s increments. Meaning if I enter a cook time of 91 seconds, I get 91s at high power, 9s at low power, and a beep. If I listen for the power change, I have a 9 second window to open the door. It's perfect; no annoying beeping, and the timer reads 0:00 so it doesn't need to be cleared before reuse.

  • Good to see someone caring about BiLions

    Trump orders end to federal funding for NPR and PBS

    Jump

  • This will turn into a MAGA own goal. NPR can get enough individual funding to stay on the air. They also survey listeners, and especially donors, about programming decisions. The more their donors skew left, the more their programming will. I listen to public radio and would label it as left leaning, but not left-wing. Partisan attacks like this may be the quickest way to drive it further left.

  • Serious question for Americans: how was your history education re the 1930's in Germany

    Jump

  • Most of my history / social studies classes, including AP history my senior year, focused on the United States. I think there was and is an AP World History, but my school didn't offer it. So we learned about Pearl Harbor, and D-Day, and Nagasaki, but not much of the Euro-centric lead-up to war.

    One of my social studies classes, maybe 9th grade or so, spent a period watching The Wave, which might be the closest part of my formal education to addressing OP's question.

  • Supreme Court appears poised to rule for parents who objected to LGBTQ content in elementary schools

    Jump

  • I wish someone would write an algebra book with as much power of indoctrination as these gay queer books are alleged to have.
