I too do not classify transphobia as Nazism because I'm not unhinged.

There's flour in my pantry. Perhaps I'm a chocolate cake lover by Lemmy standards?

Sounds like the protocol equivalent of regulatory capture.

They're probably competitive StarCraft players. Moderation as actions per minute and so on

wrongful advocacy

If you see this, flag down an employee, tell them you don't have your cell phone, and make them get the item for you.

Yes. Get staff on-board with you, against hostile policy that wastes everyone's time. 'I drove a sale that may not have happened otherwise, simply by humoring the customer'. Everyone wants to feel productive, regardless of love for the work.

Then when you go up front to check out, say nevermind and leave.

No. Now you've got them on-side with management, because you wanted to be a smart-ass. They may hate the policy as much as you do, but they won't push back against it internally because at least it fucked off the douchebag who dropped the merch. We're a spiteful species sometimes.

Do you even psychology?

I wish the community luck. A counterpoint to the received opinions of mainstream American progressives would be great to see on Lemmy. I don't want to see the public web devolve into this-platform-for-this-tribe awfulness.

The plebs must not be able to talk to each other. Interfere with their conversations. Mediate them, distort them, insert your signal (theirs is the noise!), repackage them for other plebs so those plebs don't start conversation of their own. The plebs must not be able to talk to each other.

It's outrageous vandalism first, until instances of it sell at auction like Banksy's work. after which the media dutifully reports it as 'prestigious', 'part of the city's heritage' and breathlessly awaits the next instalment.

Only the humorless knobs that run Melbourne could hate Pam the bird

The plastics industries don't want any disruption to manufacturing volumes, so they've invested (together with government) a lot of money in propagating the plastic recycling myth in order to keep political pressure off themselves. Recycled plastic is poor quality and unfit for consumers, which is why the recycled portion of new plastic units is typically single-digit percentages. They've also created a new bit of greenwashing aimed at convincing the public there's a 'new and improved' class of plastics that stand up to recycling at higher rates, but most experts think it's just clever accounting.

These articles always get me thinking about filesharing doomsday. That theoretical point in time when our governments go full China and enact their own national firewalls/other scheme of effective P2P connection surveillance; when you need to know for certain that you've downloaded enough (and that your storage game is good enough) to last decades of leisure time, perhaps even a lifetime's worth.

Make it easy to buy stuff and people will.

In case you haven't worked it out by now, the following advice may be of help:

They're not gonna do that

Capitalizing black mid-setence. It's an absolutely ridiculous convention, and something only the American Left could take seriously.

Sincerely, Everyone else

Note the complete 180 in priorities since the Russian's arrest. It may as well be a FAGMAN product soon.

Send one my way, please

Seconding this. The figures are too rubbery for headlines like this to have any meaning.

• Saddam has WMDs
• Masks don't work against COVID (until governments secure their supplies)
• Russian bot campaign #6546

Misinformation: It's everyone's game^TM

I simply put so much coffee through it so regularly that cleaning isn't required.

'Thank you, thank you. As you know I've suffered for my art'
