I grew up in the South. It is considered extremely racist, but you’ll hear any number of excuses that it represents a culture or “heritage” that doesn’t sound explicitly racist. However, that heritage can only exist through oppression

It reminds poverty class white people of a time when people like them had more status than others. And you can count on them wanting to take that antebellum status back from the people they feel they need to step on

Since day one, we have stood with the artist community against piracy, and we are actively working with our industry partners to protect creators and defend their rights.

Lmao. They protect and defend artist rights so hard they they’ve refused to pay a fair compensation, and have taken it further by promoting AI artists over actual artists. This statement is almost comical after it was reported that they’ve had copy cats to replace King Glizard and the Lizard Wizard when they pulled their albums from Spotify

While most of the samples passed, the findings showed that one version of bupropion and one version of metoprolol, dispensed at least tens of thousands of times in 2024 alone, had irregularities that experts say could compromise their effectiveness.

They found some pills dissolved slower, reducing the amount of medication available in the body. These were from Indian factories that previously failed quality testing but have since been allowed to sell to the US again.

Edit: propublica only tested three medications from 11 people. It’s a very small sample size, but considering the historical quality control issues its worth a larger analysis

Bottom right is my dream. Give me a plot of wilderness to enjoy and I won’t need anything else from life

Her husband is a convicted rapist, and her brother is in prison for child rape. She loudly defended both of them, so I imagine she feels right at home with this admin

I still sing this song when I’m torturing myself with shoe shopping lol

I can’t believe the other guy doesn’t even ponder his orb

I’m agender, but my body is very clearly gendered

I agree that it’s annoying that people assume someone’s gender, but we also have to give people some grace. Most humans fit into one of two boxes, and the other boxes are on a shelf that is slightly out of reach and easily forgotten

I might be lucky in this, but people usually get the idea that I’m not cis if I ask for their pronouns while we’re in the introductory phase

I hate celery but love cilantro.

Weirdly, after I had covid cilantro tasted like perfume and I couldn’t stand it. I was very worried that it would forever be a ruined flavor, because it does definitely overpower food. Thankfully it’s gone back to normal lol

Apparently it’s from a game releasing next year called Pragmata

It hasn’t been updated, let alone the dev hasn’t been online, for over a year and a half. Mind you the dev is still taking subscription payments for an app that is rather broken at this point. Most of the other apps don’t require payments and don’t have ads. It’ll fully be broken when Lemmy 1.0 releases. Compare that to any number of Lemmy apps that have been continuously updated without ads or subscriptions.

What features you like in an app will be your own! But, I’m on android and have been very happy with Voyager. The dev is responsive, and it’s one of the handful I know that now also work with piefed.

I was actually talking about Sync. Wild to know there’s two Lemmy apps that are not free and no longer developed!

Edit: I’m fairly certain one of the app devs that are super active, like voyager or summit, could add the feature you like if you bring it up

There’s a Lemmy app that has ads, and a subscription tier. Which is pretty funny because it isn’t updated, I don’t know why anyone still uses it

Guns are expensive, bullets are expensive, training with bullets enough to know you won’t miss a moving ice bucket is expensive.

Dealing with the subsequent court case, even if the shooter was legally in the right, would also be expensive. That’s if they survive shooting at “law enforcement”, of course

AFAIK it’s been considered poor taste to order an Irish car bomb for a couple decades. I’ve heard it called an Irish slammer, though I’m sure there’s other names for it

He made a documentary about Sean Combs

Small lemon varieties exist! You don’t have to paint over them, you can drop facts on anyone who asks about it lol

This town is 40mi south of the Canadian border, and you will hear people speaking other languages in public as long as you aren’t in one of the racist bars. Unfortunately, I lived there for a while, and the CBP are constantly waddling into gas stations and shops hoping to relive the glory of making international headlines. (they just arrested someone from the UK, so that strategy must be working)
