My friend felted the dog fur into a sweater for her hairless cat. Felters truly are the trash goblins of the art world.

Wait, THIS is what people are talking about when they say the devs are transphobic?

The dev admitting he said stupid shit in private, supports human rights for everyone, and his personal views should have nothing to do with his work?

Consider the first rule of the Lemmy code of Conduct is:

We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of level of experience, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, or other similar characteristic.

Let’s examine that.

The points on Who’s Line don’t matter, as a rule - but they do matter because they give the rankings at the end of the show. If the points really didn’t matter, we wouldn’t know about them. “Points” wouldn’t be a subject on the show, and yet they come up at the end of every skit. One person even tallied them up. The points mattered to them, a lot.

Anyway, do you have information or were you just itching to make that quip?

All the missing indigenous women in Canada say otherwise.

But you’re right, homicide rate is a great indicator of violence in society. London is much more densely populated and interconnected while Canada has lots of places to hide bodies.

As are the rules of most instances.

The name/s Adolf/Adolphe are still in use in German and French former colonies in Africa, and WW2 wasn’t that big of a deal in a lot of the continent. A lot of them had other shit going on, still do.

The internet and easy-to-access translators are more common now, leading to a further decline in the name, but in Namibia in the 1960’s? Totally understandable someone would hear/see the name Adolf Hitler without context, assume a strong German name would help their kid get by in German-Occupied Namibia, and leave it at that. Looks like it worked.

Edit: Just checked, Lemmy.Today isn’t blocked by any instances.

Last I checked .today was defederated by one instance, don’t know why. I’m open to more info.

The description and the rules are boilerplate, no bigotry or transphobia kind of thing. The admins have been helpful and responsive. I can see why conservatives would join an instance like this, but there’s nothing inherently conservative about it.

When I joined the most-visited local community was conservative, but they’re pretty tame by right wing standards. A couple of the mods posted left-leaning articles to my community, too.

I don’t pay attention to a lot of Lemmy drama unless it crosses my feed, so I could be wrong.

I joined Lemmy.today to see all the instances, they don’t block anyone. I expected chaos, but it’s richer. To be fair, I rarely browse ‘All,’ instead sticking to subscribed coms where the backwards-speaking wanderers from hexbear are more of a feature than a bug.

Now it’s my main account.

PR Edit: I meant no offense to the good people of hexbear, I’m just confused by your ways.

My cousin got a vasectomy. I’m basted and ready to be stuffed.

Pete “I take my foot massages with tongue” Hegseth: “We got rid of all those nasty girls, boys. Come back. Come back, see how friendly we are to friendly little boys. We’re all friendly little boys, just like you.”

Climate change denial is a psy-op by reptilians who want to make the world warmer because they’re cold blooded. Anti-vax influencers are there to cull the xenophobes before the reptilians come out of the egg.

Okay maybe I really want to believe there are cool reptiles who are kinda dumb but ultimately want to be our friends because otherwise we’re making ourselves stupider and deader and we don’t even get to meet scaley twinks.

I’m down with this.

I’d add ability to perceive bias and credible reporting.

“Viens ici!” or “Viens ici, s’il te plaît!” if you’re being proper.

“Minouminouminou!” if you’re being Cajun, where a cat is a minou and “Meow” is also minou.

I’d be happy if they just stayed out of the bike lanes.

I got my cat during the covid lockdown, around the same time I decided to refresh my French with the downtime. Now I have a french cat.

I was trying to make a disgusting joke. I failed.

But I have a visceral, dreamlike memory of dissecting a sea slug while high on codeine for my intense cramps (it did nothing,) where the image of gelly-like brown flesh and rusty, marbled organs was reinforced immediately after when using the washroom.

Thank you for sharing your visceral memory, it raises a lot of questions. I’m happy you’ve embraced peace because slugs are neat.

Fun facts:

• A few mollusks do have haemoglobin, so their haemolymph(blood-stuff) is red. The reason most mollusk blood is green/gray/blue is because they have copper while we have iron.

• Slugs are all creamy because they don’t have a circulatory system, they’re more of a bag of fluids with some organs sloshing around inside.

• Banana slugs have the highest penis volume to body-volume ratio of any animal. When they mate, they generate flesh spears to stab into each other, which serve no apparent purpose. Whoever wins the mating (gets pregnant first) gets to eat their partner’s penis for nutrients, but it grows back.

Used tampons are supposed to be red?

You’re fine, used tampons look more like filleted slugs.

To make them more like cigarettes you could use a bit of cocoa or food grade activated charcoal for ash, or just burn the ends with a lighter. Bright yellow or orange sprinkles could be embers. Wrap brown paper around the other end for the filter.

To make them more like tampons, use them to skewer marshmallows, lightly roast over a flame until marshmallows melt together and turn yellowish with a few bubbles, then slather in cranberry sauce.

Looks like the majority of Jewish organizations consulted on this supported the Nakba exhibit, it was just the squeaky wheel who got the attention.

It’s a bold claim that a museum thought up by a famously Jewish head of a media empire to feature stuff about Jewish people and funded in part by the efforts of his Jewish sister is somehow not about Jewish people.

This is funnier if you know about the museum guides who had to censor their tours for groups who only wanted a tasting menu of human rights. To only learn about the people they think deserve rights and skip the rest, like those damned women and gays.

I thought he was arisen from the bread.

That’s why we have unleavened bread during passover.
