I really enjoyed Kaiba! Time to go relisten to the opening theme.

Let’s not jump to conclusions, that might be a rack of ribs from an auroch laid out in the floor.

Per the FDA, there is no known safe amount of lead exposure. If it’s in something you want to minimize your exposure to it.

The reason IP exists isn’t a whatabout, it kinda sounds like you just don’t want to hear about anyone other than giant corporations benefitting from it.

In what sense is a ladder getting pulled up if IP is respected? Anyone can make a new IP, there’s not a limited supply of imagination. You can’t make everyone like what you come up with or buy it, but why should that entitle you to being able to profit off someone else’s work?

The imbalance against giant corporations isn’t anything to sneeze at, but there are just as many (probably more) small time companies breaking copyright law and hoping nobody notices. For example, stealing artwork to print on cheap crap that you sell below what the creator is selling them for. If they’re in an area that recognizes that copyright then they’re going to lose every time, and they’re not going to have enough money to drag it out. After that happens artists can recover all the earnings that were made with their work. Without that the artist is just fucked.

Alternatively, do read it if you’re having trouble cutting back on fast food spending!

I saw a guy doing this recently (not to a barista, but someone that worked with the public) and the only thing that kept me from losing my mind on him was knowing there was no way the worker wanted to deal with him AND me blowing up at him. He eventually just left, but it was maddening to witness.

Also, IME upper middle and upper class people are about 1000% more likely to do this than anyone else. This douche sounded like the frattiest frat bro to ever frat.

On lemmy, a ban can be a few different things:

1. Banned from the instance your account is on. This means you have to make a new account, usually on a different instance.
2. Banned from a different instance than the one your account is on. This means you get banned from communities you’ve participated in on that instance, and that instance will no longer federate with your account. You might participate in new communities on that instance, and people not on that instance on your instance will see your comments, but people on the instance you were banned from and other instances won’t see them. From the perspective of that instance you don’t exist anymore.
3. Not banned from any instances, but banned from individual communities. You can’t post in that specific community but can still interact with the instance that community is on.

Like someone else said, clear as mud, lol.

Using this as a place to infodump because I just learned it: you know how haikus follow a 5-7-5 syllable pattern? For corridos every line is 8 syllables.

The more you know 🌈⭐️

Okay for anyone who is fried at the moment like I am, map-wiki IS NOT ABOUT GEOGRAPHY.

Not using Nazi terminology is free

I can co-sign this if we can agree that some types of ‘disagreements’ don’t belong on the fediverse, a la the Nazi bar problem.

This happened 2 months ago and was obviously an excuse.

On 10 February 2025, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth issued a memorandum directing the U.S. Army to rename Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg, but this time in honor of Private First Class Roland L. Bragg, a person other than the original namesake.

Wait you’re telling me it’s Kickero? 🤯

Nobody ever likes this answer, but it’s the truth.

Another terrible death related thing: after a while, sometimes after bad news you’ll think “I’m glad [person] didn’t have to live to see this.”

I mean, I didn’t make it up, that’s the dictionary definition of Anglo for American English speakers. I don’t disagree with any of your points, it’s just news to me that “Anglo” is also used to mean “anyone who speaks English”.

You specified Anglo, which is a racial/ethnic group?? I have never heard anyone use Anglo to mean anything other than white people.

I live in southern California and have never noticed a racial aspect to this, most people thank the driver. Either when boarding or just calling out ‘thank you!’ as they leave through the back.
