  • If only they could get grippy toe socks going

    That would be awesome

    The last few times I've had surgery it was hell for my feet due to a lack of toe socks

    Once you go toe socks you can't go back, they're so comfy

  • That bug looks cozy AF

    Fits right in with the phrase "Snug as a bug in a rug"

  • Mod abuse goes as far back as the history of online moderators, that ain't going to be fixed any time soon.

    But I really think You're looking way too into a missed capital letter and a ban for violating the rules of a community.

  • Do different instances have different character limits?

    I did some tests on a couple of my alts and "Grail (They/Them/Caps)" fit on all of them.

    Maybe try that?

  • I wouldn't call it a bizarre coincidence at all. Typos happen literally all the time to everyone.

    A single error doesn't make a trend, a pattern of errors does.

    And again that mod shoots from the hip on bans. I'd say seize the opportunity to take some time off and cool off.

    Getting banned from a community can really make someone salty at the moment it happens and taking the opportunity to chill is the best course of action for one's mental health.

  • There were quite a bit more than just the "they"

    And they were easy to miss

    I think I nailed them all though

  • I feel OP really needs to log off for a few weeks to touch grass and cool off

    They've got a bad case of a parasocial relationship with that mod

    Not to mention looking at Their post history seeing how They feel about queer people not being politically active (and how those people shouldn't be welcome) yeah They've got a bad case of being way too online.

    Edit: caps

  • NGL I feel the exact same way

    Shit I didn't even know "Bi" was an option until I was an adult and I'm freaking Bi lol

    I didn't meet many queer folk growing up (grew up in a hella red area) but there were a few and us discovering who we were together are memories I'll cherish for the rest of my life.

  • I gotcha Fam for those embedded pics

    In order:

    I'd assume that the mod in question (being a mod) sees a ton of posts and comments from a ton of users and simply didn't check Your profile before making the comment there.

    Or hell it could have been their autocorrect dropping the capital (which mine does pretty often)

    But from what I can see it's also a single comment. Don't assume malice when ignorance can easily explain it.

    And that mod is really quick to ban people, hell they banned me last week less than a minute after I made a comment on one of their posts simply for saying that dems and the GQP weren't the same (their post was implying that they were the same). The reason they banned me was for being a "liberal".

    Personally I'd recommend a solution to help weed out transphobia vs ignorance: put Your‡ pronouns at the end of your username so that it's easy for people to know and talk to you how you'd like. This is fairly easy to do on Lemmy as flairs at the end of usernames don't really exist around these parts.

    ‡ I literally had to go back and manually change this to a capital Y after my autocorrect changed it.

    Edit: Missed some caps.

  • When someone asks me when the delivery driver will be at their location to drop off their freight.

  • If social media has taught me anything it's that it was a mistake

  • The IT guy quits and it's no longer their problem to fix

  • That's a mood for sure

  • Maybe this will convince him to step aside?

    I hope he recovers but god damn this is shitty timing

    Edit: President Harris anyone? Definitely better than getting trump in office.

  • No worries and happy cycling friend

  • He was a cuddle bug

    His favorite place to be was all up in your grill and he wasn't afraid to make it happen

    He would also wake me up by basically assuming the CPR position and going to town like a bear trying to open a trashcan until he got the attention he demanded. Usually with his paws in the side of my head if I was laying on my stomach, and his paws on my chest if I was laying on my back.

    Whenever I got home he'd run from wherever he was screaming the whole way then throw himself on the floor in front of me, roll on his back, then inch his way across the floor purring and screaming the whole way over to me. Everytime I got home almost no matter how short of time I was gone.

    The silence was deafening the first time he wasn't there.

  • My cat made it 18 years, it wasn't long enough. He was in great health until the last 6 months when everything went down hill so goddamned fast.

    Of all the cats that have been in my family, he was the one that had the shortest run at it. The second shortest run was my sister's cat that made it to 22.

    I miss him so much.

    Some of my family members keep asking me when I'm going to replace him. And one literally asked me the week he passed away.

    I don't know if I will, but if I do it's going to be a long time.

  • That salt breeze is no joke, it takes a constant active effort to prevent it's destruction.

    The next bike you get be sure to take good care of it. Seal it with marine grade polyurethane where you can and keep the parts you can't well oiled and clean of debris.

    It should last a long long time if you do that.

  • personally I always planned to be better to the generation that followed me than the generation that preceded mine was to us.

    And this is why I make the effort to understand. We don't have to make the same mistakes of the past, we have to tools to understand.

    And I do my best, I look up the words I don't know and can't figure out. And worst case I simply ask.

  • DON'T PUT YOUR DICK IN IT!!!

    At least not before getting a tetanus shot.

    Jokes aside, my favorite part about bikes is that they're super easy and (relatively) cheap to fix.

    You should be good picking up a simple little tool kit, some penetrating WD40, a new handle bar, and some new grips and you should be good to go.

    I wish you the best of luck friend and to have a blast with more rides in the near future.
