Like the whole bumper sticker thing “I bought this before Elon went crazy”

How about a bumper sticker that says “this car is fully insured”.

I was thinking rainbow face paint with interesting paterns

Masks work too though.

Is that the type they put in turon? I love those things.

Kinda makes me think of Filipino spaghetti. Banana ketchup and hotdogs! Actually not as bad as it sounds.

I associate it with “The Space Merchants” and their corporate congress.

It’s a really good book written in 1952 and talks about climate change, rampant corporate greed, synthetic meat… Really good read.

I am bleeding, making me the victor

I think the community subscription model in the article fixes this (imperfectly). Pancakepurists@a.com can have strict rules while pancakeparty@b.com could subscribe to it and pancakepurists could subscribe back with the understanding that the rules are slightly different there. Pancakechaos@nazi.assholes could similarly link to both those without either having to be mutually interactive.

I think the problem comes from some increased moderation loads by allowing a community to follow another. If I were to put on my paranoid hat it could be used to monitor and brigade a community. I think the solution for that is moderation tools. Banning instances, federation etc. I’m not a mod anywhere so I don’t know what is possible.

Personally I think proposal 2 and 3 should happen concurrently. Using the example in the post I would setup a custom feed (that can hopefully consolidate cross posts) for breakfast. I would put pancakes@a.com which subscribes to pancakemasters@b.com I can also add pancakeart@a.com and waffles@a.com. so when someone posts about the best homemade peanut butter syrup recipe that is cross posted to my pancake and waffle communities, I don’t get 4 posts about it, I can see it once and choose where to reply (pancakes obviously, I’m a waffle purist).

Community interlinking/subscription fixes a slightly different problem than custom feeds IMO. It’s a really good idea, but I would personally still want custom feeds (with the ability to handle crossposts in a customizable way).

Looking at the other pictures, it definitely looks like some sort of spray…

Erythrism?

Its bioengineered, no way he would go for it. Only organic brainworms for our homeopath in chief.

One could make the argument that they didn’t do their due diligence and rushed out funds without proper oversight. Honestly it doesn’t sound great rushing out that amount of money (IF true), but with the backdrop of what was coming, it is obvious WHY they rushed.

Really, the accusation of corruption is comical given this administration’s actions.

That’s the point.

Per NATO rules, Ukraine was not eligible to join due to the 2014 invasion by Russia as that was considered a border dispute. Prior to that they weren’t really trying due to Russian influence/ corruption of Yanakovich etc.

As far as avoiding the conflict, Obama absolutely should have taken a harder stance on Crimea and Donbas. Before that Bush should have taken a harder stance against the Russian invasion of Georgia. They were essentially taking an appeasement approach and trying not to get pulled into war with Russia.

Happened at my folks house in the breaker from the mains. Mr. Rodent’s carbon corpse acted as an electrode and blew a hole through the box half an inch in diameter. This happened Christmas Eve. With replacing the panel and making an appointment with the power company to inspect and reconnect, we didn’t get power back for over 3 weeks. Since they live on a well, and the booster pump needs electricity to run, we had to draw water from the storage tank a bucket at a time.

To answer your question, no it is not valid. The fact that you don’t actually stand by the word offended really answers yourself.

Why choose “offended” as the verb here? I’m not saying I’ve never seeing an offensive movie… But what you described is an annoyance at most.

It’s almost as if you are claiming offense to be contrarian.

He wanted to grok it?

Usually the soap dispenser is above

Common in factories where lots of people need to wash their hands at the same time.

It’s not likely they would. The US did some fucked up stuff, but (in this case) didn’t try to hide it…
