Yeah, it's in the code of conduct: Any pictures of food containing animal products, including but not limited to meat, cheese, or egg, must be tagged nsfw along with food discussion content warnings (CW: Food).

Thank ya.

I hate to be "that" person, but could you please put a content warning on this for the meat?

Masks still aren't a moot point, asshole. Cloth masks were never very effective, they didn't suddenly just stop. That doesn't change the fact that N95s were and continue to be effective and it's nonsense that they weren't worn correctly by "nearly anyone."

Oooh, but you're so entitled! SMH. Just another selfish and self-centered youth, spoiled really to not be willing to go die such a noble death for your betters. The people who want to send you to that death so they can maintain their stranglehold on the working class all over the globe, they aren't being "entitled," no. They're the adults in the room ensuring the Rules-Based International Order. Just because that may translate to more yachts for them and their friends, the Captains of Industry is beside the point. The Captains are certainly not entitled either. And clearly that's reality, because this definitely not entitled "Journalist" is saying it how it is.

Maybe, but there are hordes of bougsie wine cave warriors in that area and a fuckton of tourists giving that place a plenty of real business.

Not pictured, but next door to this is a wine-tasting bar.

That is really cool, but let's not pretend that DSA as an org isn't often times extremely lib and that any actual communist party should never find themselves to their right. Did anything ever happen to those DSA caucus leaders who snubbed the president of Cuba and went to meet with the Gusano opposition instead?

But... snake's buttholes aren't at the end of their tails. They're like 1/3 of the entire snake-length up from the tail's end!

It wasn't totally without benefits, yeah. But something else now possible that (for the most part) couldn't be done then is just hit pause when you want a break. That way you don't have to worry about having to either set the gameboy back down to watch when the commercials end or miss some of the show because you're about to beat the level and can't just stop playing. Like, commercials were good for a piss break and grabbing some snacks too, but if you were too long in the other room and you came back you'd have no idea how that mini-cliff-hanger resolved.

Our music was better, yes, but or TV shows absolutely were just breaks between Pharma ads. As a kid in the 90s I remember despising having to wait through seemingly endless obnoxious fucking commercials (never understood why no one else around me really seemed to mind that much). And every single show would make like a mini cliff hanger for the very purpose of cutting to ads at that moment. God that pissed me off, totally destroyed any tension that they might have built. But now, since the advent of adblockers, I haven't watched media interrupted by commercials (at least of the non-diagetic kind) in well over a decade. Maybe the commercials and time lengths are worse now, but I wouldn't know because I can simply choose not see them. A godsend.

No! It's not. I've double checked that to make sure. I did user searches of the modlogs of the respective instances, and I even DM'd an invisible person about it and they had no idea why they couldn't be seen from another instance. I'm almost positive it's just a bug. Some people are simply unlucky to be affected by it. So far as I know I've never been banned, but like I mentioned, anything I've posted (granted, it hasn't been much) with my lemmygrad account in the last 7 months, is not visible from my hexbear account. https://hexbear.net/u/MaeBorowski@lemmygrad.ml shows the last comment made was 7 months ago. https://lemmygrad.ml/u/MaeBorowski shows 8 days ago. But at least my user page isn't an error where nothing can be seen, which is the case for some others.

Yeah, that may be so. Like there has to be a first person that breaks the barrier for that foreign instance's comm by subscribing to it before posts in that comm can show in the feed for other people belonging to that first person's instance. That seems like it would be an odd way of doing things imo, but clearly lemmy can be very odd, so that could be.

Still, I think that is a completely separate issue from what I'm talking about, as you can see with the lemmy privacy comm not existing according to hexbear. And what's more, is that certain people on hexbear are simply not visible to anyone on lemmygrad. I know of a few hexbear users who post comments all the time, but if I'm viewing the thread from lemmygrad, I never see their comments, even if I'm looking right at them in the same thread from hexbear in another browser tab. And if I try to go to their user page from lemmygrad, it just shows a "couldnt_find_user" error. If they make a post, no one on lemmygrad will know about it. If they post a comment and a ton of people reply, no one on lemmygrad will see any of that thread... despite hexbear and lemmygrad being federated. And this is vice versa too, with some lemmygrad users and their posts never showing up to people on hexbear.

If you go to hexbear's c/literature comm from hexbear, you see a bunch of fairly recent posts, and a long history of posting in that comm in general. However, if you view that comm from lemmygrad: https://lemmygrad.ml/c/literature@hexbear.net then all you will see is 4 posts... total. As if only 4 posts were ever made in that comm. Every other post in that comm of who knows how many hundreds simply aren't visible to people from lemmygrad. And I think that often there are posts that never show up to federated instances because I've seen this happen with other instances too.

In short: just because you're federated with an instance, don't assume you can see all the posts there and don't assume you can see all the users there because there are almost certainly a lot of each that are simply not visible to you or anyone from your instance. Edit: Also don't assume that anyone from another instance can see you just because you see them. They may not see your posts, comments or even be able to look at your user page (which will just give an error).

Yeah, using that link, you're viewing lemmy.world's fediverse comm but you're viewing it from the feddit.nl instance. From lemmy.world itself, the link to that comm would be https://lemmy.world/c/fediverse. The post we're talking about is visible from those places, as it should be. If hexbear were federated with .world, the link for us would be http://hexbear.net/c/fediverse@lemmy.world, but that doesn't work since we aren't federated. Since lemmy.ml is federated with lemmy.world, the following is the link to the same comm from lemmy.ml: https://lemmy.ml/c/fediverse@lemmy.world However, you'll notice that the post in question "Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem" is not visible from that link. Which means that everyone logged in and using lemmy.ml do not see that post. It doesn't exist as far as they're concerned, since the only way to see it would be to do so from an instance that is not their own, which people are not liable to go looking for since they aren't aware of what they can't see. I don't know if instances can make certain posts inaccessible to other instances (never heard of that, but maybe?), but whether it was done intentionally or is just a lemmy bug, the effect is the same.

I hope that made sense, and I apologize if I was just explaining a bunch of stuff you already know. Just trying to clarify the issue and explain it in case others are confused.

Maybe there is something like that but I can see plenty of comms I'm not subscribed to on other instances, if that's what you mean. And for example, I can't see the c/privacy comm on lemmy.ml at all (from hexbear) to even subscribe to it to begin with. It also doesn't explain why I can't see some hexbear users from my lemmygrad account.

This is weird, because from lemmy.ml I can get to lemmy.world/c/fediverse, but I can't see this post.

I have accounts on a handful of instances and this is a common thing. Even instances that are federated with each other will often not be able to see some of each other's users (or their posts obviously) and even entire communities. There are lemmy.ml comms that we can't see from hexbear. For months I couldn't see any of my comments made on my hexbear account from my lemmygrad account and there are certain hexbear users I can't see at all from my lemmygrad account and other ones I can't see from my lemmy account. (Edit: Any comments made in the last 7 months on my lemmygrad account, I can't see from hexbear.) Personally, I'd recommend that hexbears make accounts on other instances too, not just to see these things that are invisible, but also to comment and counter some of the liberal bullshit that so often goes unchallenged because it was posted by people on instances that defederated from hexbear. Like .world, and the trash they spew across lemmy, as this post demonstrates.

Nah. Even if other people were inhaling an infected person's cough, that doesn't mean that the virus itself can replicate in another human. Yet. It still has to evolve that ability. But the more this sort of thing happens, the more likely that becomes.

The way I see it, he was an archetypal radlib of the hippy era. He was very outspoken against the Vietnam war which is undeniably good, but it also served his popularity and image as a hippy counter-culture icon. Considering how much that ended up being the source of his wealth, it makes it hard to gauge how authentic it really was. No matter how anti-war he may have been, he was also vocally anti-communist and critical, even hostile and dismissive, of anything genuinely revolutionary. And I say "vocally" because he made it apparent not just in interviews and such but also in some of his most well known songs. He was one of those staunch "non-violent" "leftists" of the same type that today would be as loud about criticizing Hamas as he would be Israel for the former's use of violence instead of just doing peaceful marches and sit-ins in he face of the latter's genocide. Maybe that last part's unfair, as I'd like to think such an obvious genocide would have shaken him of the stereotypical hippy-dippy "make love not war! like just be peaceful, man!" dogmatism, but consider that "Just Give Peace a Chance" is now a catchphrase because it's a song he wrote. Also, his big anti-war action with respect to Vietnam was literally to hang out in bed in a hotel for his honeymoon while actual working people tended to his needs.

I just know that my liberal The Guardian-reading parent is going to see this article and think "Ahh, so that explains why Mae has been telling me Biden is even worse than Trump and that North Korea isn't actually an evil hermit kingdom, even though I know it is. She's fallen in with these Trump supporter commies. It's so sad she thinks she's on the left when horseshoe theory is obviously correct."

Hinkle being a communist is a psyop. Everyone who benefits from smearing communists and muddying the waters as to what communism even is, like to call him that. And so they do.
