  • More propaganda from the dairy industry.

  • I wish you weren’t downvoted. It’s not one or the other. There can be terrible systemic problems with law enforcement and amazing people working in law enforcement at the same time.

    Even if you take a US-centric view there is a huge variance in police work across the nation.

  • I just redirect to a redlib instance, it works 99% of the time.

  • In Iowa, USA:

    • The town of Buena Vista is pronounced “byoo-nuh vist-uh”
    • The town of Nevada is pronounced “neh-vade-uh”
  • Yeah I haven’t practiced/studied Japanese (on my own) since high school, oops.

  • There are probably thousands of different static website generators that can make a more beautiful website out of the box, for free.

  • Do people think Trump actually cares whether anyone approves of what he’s doing? It’s too little, too late. This is what happens when you vote for a fascist.

  • 日本語は僕の好きな言葉ですでも、いま中国語を勉強している。

  • I randomly went full vegan after eating a Costco frozen lasagna one night. At the time I was drinking heavily, eating very poorly and pretty stressed out but something about the nasty beef crumbles getting stuck between my teeth set me off.

    It’s been nearly six years and I wouldn’t go back to eating meat for the world. I wasn’t really an animal person but after marrying my wife and becoming very attached to her two chihuahuas my heart breaks that people can’t be bothered to stop eating meat. Animals are innocent and what we do to them isn’t right.

  • “Zee shed”

  • First time in my life I’ve ever been called MAGA. Byyyyeee 👋

  • Right, I’m saying to roll your own server and host a similar community yourself. If your opinion is so popular then naturally users will flock to your server.

    The catch here is that you’ll be forced to moderate it according to the local laws in which the server resides. It’s possible you’ll run into the same legal obstacles the mods here are forced to deal with. With a little empathy and understanding maybe you’ll understand why they are the way that they are.

  • I’m a big privacy nerd too but I still keep up with the news.

    One thing I’ve noticed not using TikTok, etc. is that people will flat out tell me things that are objectively false: this goes for both liberals and conservatives. I block fake news and disinformation so many times links to those websites will just return DNS resolution errors.

    The privacy stuff does get tiring sometimes. People try to link me to Google-owned platforms that I have blocked. I tunnel my end devices to a VPS in my country, then I use ECMP routing between three tunnels routing through different countries. Those three are access through yet another double-hop VPN with both hops in-country to lower suspicion of foreign-bound traffic from my VPS.

    There are some tasks that are impossible to achieve without bypassing the VPN though.

    In the end though, I feel my internet experience is extremely “clean” compared to others’. I don’t deal with ads, tracking, bad privacy laws, cookies, etc. Both my ISP and cellular company only see encrypted data and that’s it.

  • Depending on the application could you just mount a filesystem that supports encryption? Even if it’s just mounting a .tar file.

  • You’re not talking to me and I’m no MAGA supporter but I blocked you—too much crazy for me.

  • Why not just deploy your own server anonymously in some jurisdiction where you can get away with this? Why harass the mods at all? This isn’t Reddit.

  • If you’re going to screenshot at least crop? But why not just save the original image and avoid (potentially) recompressing it?

  • I actually know Katakana and a limited amount of Japanese so yes, I know what you mean.

    Great point about phoneticized loanwords though!
