It's not victim blaming, it's practicality. You can be right, and still be dead. Motorbikers have the same problem as us pedalbikers
Republicans are demonstrably worse than Democrats. Neither care about the poor, but one of them actively tries to kill queer folk, many of whom are good friends of mine, so fuck those Republican assholes.
The Democrat assholes at least aren't directly targeting the people I care about, it's just collateral.
Just the once, which was once more than I would have liked
It's the missing missing reasons
Because he is a liar.
This is the answer to every question about him that starts with "Why does he...."
Stop censoring the names, fuckknob
(Not necessarily directed at you; I'm assuming you got these screenshots from elsewhere already censored)
A quick peek at dude's posting history makes it pretty clear they're a leftist, so.
Naw. 'Oblivion cults' is very clearly referencing doomsday 'christians', the Evangelical sort that are common in America. They want the world to end, they think they'll be raptured into heaven.
They're also idiots, if the rapture happens, they're not coming; they are the equivalent of the Pharisees that Jesus whipped, and Revelation specifically mentions them, and that they are fools
They claimed to be socialists because that was in vogue at the time, and there were some actual (confused) socialists among their ranks...until the night of the long knives.
Ha.
No, he's not trolling, he's just a fuckhead
If you think that's because he hates trans people, then you misunderstand Trump.
He doesn't give a shit one way or the other, but his supporters hate trans people, and he loves power.
I didn't click the link, but I'm going to go ahead and assume that's Super Troopers, with Farva trying to order a litre of cola
'oblivion cults' makes it clear they're talking about right-wingers
Gotta get one of the "I bought this before we knew Elon was an asshole" bumper stickers.
Obviously only works on a car that came out before we knew Elon was an asshole
I don't think anybody thinks that only queer folk can be homophobic, but it does happen quite often. Usually it's the fault of heteronormative indoctrination, religious or otherwise (which is also usually the problem when straight folk are homophobic)
That's fair, and I was oversimplifying a bit; there are definitely things that are specific to her or me, that we've either talked about, or settled into a natural division of labour.
Dishes? Yeah that's both of us. Often she ends up loading the dishwasher, I end up emptying it, but not always. Litter box? That's a me problem, she can't handle the smell. Weeding the garden? That's a her problem, I couldn't give a fuck
If you have citizenship you can certainly come; if you're wanting to bring your partner, best get married and get on it while we still recognize the marriage. Our next election is no later than October, and it's not looking good
Live Linux distro list?
Does anybody know of a list of usb live-bootable distros, with links to the download pages?
I have a coworker who wants to switch his gaming computer over to Linux, he has Linux experience but from like a decade ago.
He's not partial to any particular distro, so I was hoping to just put together a multiboot flash drive with a bunch of live images he could try. But I'm not sure what I should include, and what has live images, vs. install only images.
I'm most comfortable in an environment with apt, so Debian and Mint are of course already covered, but if the gaming-specific distros have live usb images, that would probably be the best thing for him to try.
Question for paramedics
If I'm injured and need a blood transfusion, where are paramedics most likely to go for the needle; is it the vein in my arm, same as for blood donation?
Wherever it is, if I get a tattoo noting my blood type, are you going to trust the tattoo and give me my blood type, or would you disregard it and go with O- just in case?
I'm getting some tattoo work done anyways, and I really like the idea of a Canadian Blood Services logo plus my blood type wherever paramedics would see it, but it's pointless if they won't believe it
Long press on links to open them externally
When reading a web page within Connect, it would be nice if long-pressing on links in the webpage would give a popup with the option to open the link in an external browser (and probably also an option to just copy the link). I frequently find myself linked to Wikipedia from a Lemmy comment, and then want to open other links from that wiki page, so then I have to open the page I'm on externally and refind my spot in the article.
Having the same options when long-pressing a link in a comment/post would be nice as well.
Seperate block lists for seperate accounts
Edit: there's already a setting for it, another user pointed it out. Ignore me :)
Currently, when you block an instance or community, it's blocked app-wide. I had blocked various NSFW communities and instances on my main account so that they don't show up in my All feed, but now I can't access them from my NSFW account unless I use a different app to do so, or repeatedly unblock and reblock them as needed.
Can we instead make block lists on a per-account basis (or have the option of account-associated or global blocking)?
How can I change the text colour in my comment box?
The text when I try to type comments (but not the text in the search bar or, as I'm just now learning, here in the 'post body' text box) is white, and I can't find the setting to change it. Obviously I could change my background back to the default blue that it was, but that's the opposite of a solution.
Anybody know?
