When the typo is a matter of capitalization, and the skepticism over whether or not that's a reasonable expectation gets construed into being full-blown transphobia, I can't help but feel like things have gotten a bit out of hand.
Just reading through the threads (you can find them on the Blahaj Lemmy Meta sub) has been quite disheartening and I feel like a lot of language of inclusion is being weaponized and limit tested in a very harmful way.
I had my issues with LOC and LibertyHub but we also came to a mutual understanding in DMs and, while we still disagreed, I found myself in a position where I actually understood the point of the sub (regardless of whether or not I thought it was a good addition to the instance) and was able to make my peace with it.
I really wish him stepping down were under less egregious circumstances but honestly, were I in a similar situation I'd probably find myself doing the same thing. Even having been a complete fly on the wall third party, I feel like the debacle has been a cognitohazard. I'm racking my head on a few concepts I thought I had worked out pretty well. I'm not sure if it's some level of reactionary gut sentiment welling up from within or just over how much the whole situation feels like a form of Crybullying. Maybe it's both.
I don't think it would be correct to use the A in apple for any of the As in Kamala. It's more of the A with an open mouth than constrained to the front. The A in calm is much closer imo
I should really be using the IPA to make my point here but I don't know all the letters
Texas would be brisket, barbecue sauce, and possibly pickle slices and/or chopped onions in between two slices of white bread. Butter the white bread beforehand for extra points.
I guess that's too similar to the Kansas one on this chart though
Spoken like one who has not experienced the travesty of over-garlicked food 🥲
I mean, the bench is painted. Paint isn't usually known for being an electrical conductor. While conductive blends exist, I don't think they'd be very viable nor cost effective for an outdoor application such as this. That's just speculation though. There are also the safety and liability issues with something like this, for insurance if the electricity were turned on by accident during hours it should be safe.
If a city government can pay $20k extra per unit to ensure it causes needless suffering to homeless ppl (and get away with it), I wouldn't hold my breath on them not spending it. That said, we should probably reserve our ire for actual anti-homeless atrocities committed by PDs and city councils. Art projects making an apt social commentary are thought provoking but should be recognized as such.
Of course, as you mentioned it's entirely possible something like this exists already. I haven't seen any proof of that, but in such a case it would probably be easier to just not paint the bench and leave it at that.
And who's responsible for keeping the different teams properly staffed and funded?
Ah I didn't catch that the first time around. Yeah that's a bad idea. Most of the other stuff seems like it should be fine though
How so? I don't see anything here that's particularly challenging to design around, no plants incorporated directly into buildings for instance.
Indiana Jones is my favorite docuseries 😍
Opposite end of the aisle here, but I hope my comment is welcome. I think a lot of this stems from the bioessentially prescriptivist attitudes a lot of people have. It's for similar reasons that trans women are often framed as predators in women's spaces that trans men are framed as "smol beans" to protect, or misguided by the Trans Agenda™. It's an assigning of hyperagengy to AMABs and hypoagency to AFABs, and it's really gross.
The most "fun" part I'm guessing is when you call it out as a reactionary attitude and cue the shock and horror to the thought, that maybe unsolicited infantilization doesn't paint transmascs in the positive light they think it does.
That's nice I wonder what they humanely do with the male chicks
Well in that case you starve a slow death of malnutrition as your body is unable to properly process any of the food you eat, unless it's also rotated 180 degrees along the 4th axis
What a phenomenal country to allow this sort of thing to occur at all
So am I supposed to flip the sushi over to dip the fish side in the soy sauce? That seems a bit awkward

Anyone else noticing a lot more "Access Denied" pages while using hardened Firefox lately?
I use Firefox whenever I can.
On first install of the browser I usually end up following a hardening guide which includes stuff like blocking cross site cookies, setting a few things in about:config to disable Pocket/etc, and installing uBlock Origin. I've taken what I consider a relatively balanced approach, I don't use anything like noScript, uMatrix, etc that ultimately just cost a lot of time fiddling to get the 10th website of the week working.
I've been more or less fine browsing the web this way for years, but around the start of 2024 I've started seeing way more "Access Denied" pages than I used to. I think part of it is Cloudflare or similar, but I don't know exactly what's changed or what's triggering it to occur.
It usually goes away and I can re access the site in 10-30 minutes as usual, but I've had it occur in really weird instances, such as trying to change my Minecraft skin and getting blocked by the website. The server block often goes away immediately if I switch my user agent, so I know that it has something to do with how I've got everything set up.
Not sure what anyone else's experience with this has been. I'd like to hear some of your thoughts and tips
"Diamond Method" for finding Wildwood events
To summarize for anyone who would rather not watch the video, there are always exactly 4 "events" in a wildwood instance. While any specific event is randomly selected, their locations are always around the far North, South, East, and West of the area. If you can find two events, especially if they're perfectly horizontal or vertical from each other, it becomes much easier to find a third and possibly fourth. After you find the first, all you have to do is look for the remaining spots of the 'diamond', following wisp trails to make an educated guess.
I thought this was pretty useful information, especially if you're trying to maximize wisp collection to juice your maps or find more nameless creatures to complete quests.
Blahaj PoE sub created
Hi everyone!
I decided to create this sub as an alternative to other Path of Exile discussion boards on Lemmy, since most of them were pretty dead (not that another sub on another instance will fix that, but why not ok?) There was also a weirdly long propagation time for posts of mine to show up on the other instance's board, so I'm hoping that won't be as much of an issue with this one here.
For now I've created the sub icon (and I guess this welcome message too).
Any questions about the game are welcome! I'm not exactly an expert or anything but I've gotten through most non-uber endgame content and am part of a guild that is also very knowledgeable about the game.
Thanks for reading!
