I mean, disability or no, if you make a mess in a public restroom, and you are relatively able-bodied, you have a responsibility to clean up after yourself. Granted, we don’t know the exact nature of the bathroom “destruction”, but I doubt people are hanging up multiple signs about bad smells in a restroom.

The thing that gets me is that calling it a skill feels like a stretch. You need like 4 pieces of information to read an analog clock, most of which can be gleaned from looking at it. Sure, you might not be able to read one instantaneously without practice, but it isn’t exactly calculus.

As I’ve said, I’m not really trying to get into a debate here. I only settled on the phrase “in capitalist power” because “enemies of the West” seemed a little too conspiratorial, but it’s closer to the idea I was going for.

Again, this is not something that I feel strongly enough about to go to bat for, but I’ve watched a couple of videos essays over the years. The argument is essentially that many governments that are called authoritarian have very little in common besides being considered enemies of those in capitalist power. Therefore the government and the media paint them all with the same evil-sounding brush. I think I’ve heard this argument is more valid for the word ‘totalitarian’, but I would need to do more research.

It’s probably because PugJesus got mad at me for claiming that ‘authoritarian’ isn’t a valid political term and exists primarily to lump together fascist and communist regimes. It’s not something I believe(d) particularly strongly, but I’ve heard it multiple times and it feels right, so I parroted it and ended up on this subreddit.

I mean, it’s more of a wish than a threat. I’m sure most of us have walked that line of social media before.

I’ve never seen an Australian do the American thing of assuming the person they’re responding to is from their country before. For most of the English speaking world, higher latitudes = further from the equator.

I don’t know how you could make it clearer than just leaving off the last letter.

Don’t be evil 😈

Pacific Northwest for me! Potato bugs forever!

He’s referencing a legitimate talking point about birth control, and in that light his comment made perfect sense. The whole second half of this thread reads like you got whooshed and then double downed after you realized what happened.

Did… did you click the link?

Do you think I should switch my program from Engineering to Machining? I’m only a year in and the fact there are 3 years and >$20,000 left is making me rethink things

Your second example is a perfectly worded admonishment, if the claims are true. Sunlight is the best disinfectant and all that.

Oooh, I wonder if that’s part of what’s confusing the other guy. At this point I just completely filter out the tag when I’m reading a post like this, since very few people intend to incorporate it into the comment.

Wait, are we talking gigaseconds now?

Any chance they’ll become fully interoperable? I mean, besides the standard fediverse account stuff. Ideally, being able to scroll my All feed on piefed and seeing Lemmy posts in there. I just don’t want to go back to a ghost town like the Lemmy of 2 years ago.

Also, thanks for all the posts! You and Picard were the backbone of this place in the bad old days.

EDIT: I just noticed a piefed post in my feed. The future is now!

EDIT EDIT: It was a piefed user, I’m dumb.

That behavior is almost completely dictated by where you live. The safest speed to go while driving is the speed at which the majority of people around you are driving. In my city, that happens to be at least 10 mph above the speed limit.

Does this mean I can finally stop going back a page when I nudge my mouse the wrong way??
