Yeah, it's fuckin wild too, I personally feel that more people should know about Elan, but it's sort of so insane that people just kind of mentally punch out immediately if you try to tell them about it because they don't believe something so awful could even happen as the author of the comic mentions. Absolutely fucked...
This reminds me of a very extensive story I read about a truly awful for-profit facility called the Élan School. It was a long and harrowing read and it was pretty much too fucked up to be fake.
That was probably way worse than what's going on here, but reading about Elan made me realize that "wow there need to be a LOT of super strict checks on what we let people do with our children"
Contractors curious about an extension cord on the roof of a Michigan grocery store made a startling discovery: A 34-year-old woman was living inside the business sign, with enough space for a computer, printer and coffee maker, police said.
“She was homeless,” Officer Brennon Warren of the Midland Police Department said Thursday
I truly despise how I can't just assume that something does what it says it does on the title. Gotta read a separate article analyzing it or read it in full myself.
I feel like humans are basically terminators for a lot of animals, it just never stops, chasing you at a modest pace, long past the point you're tired.
TBH I'm just so fucking tired of ads overstepping, back in the day there's be a little banner on the side of a page advertising a truck or whatever, I'm sick of seeing like, enormous length ads.
One day I had a 3 hour minecraft let's play uploaded as an ad, you think I should have to watch all of that youtube?
I don't want to see "votes" because the result is that you or someone else says something controversial and have to see the sanity rotting negative number.
I do however want to see a metric to see that an item is being engaged with though. Not sure what that should be.
I'm officially labeling Reddit as Nazi sympathizers, this isn't a joke I am completely genuine.
The reason I know about Lemmy is because a few days ago they permanently suspended my account for "glorifying violence"
The horrible thing I said was that "I should have a legally protected right to punch Nazis" in a post featuring a video where a big dude knocks a neo nazi the fuck out. They swiftly denied an appeal to this ban as well so fuck me I guess.
Even if you think that I shouldn't be allowed to say that, (which is stupid), I don't think it's permanent ban sitewide territory, especially when far worse things are happening on that site.
Some fuckwit had to actually manually flag that, according to their obnoxiously long DM about it.
On top of everything else they had the balls to say I should "familiarize myself with the TOS" like bitch you just banned me from the whole ass site forever I think it's pretty safe to wipe my ass with the reddit TOS at this point.
I'd actually fucking crush that tbh
