Might wanna fix your formatting Mr. Bot…

Edit: nevermind, sync for lemmy is just bad at formating. I knew it had issues, but didn’t know how bad it was until I had seen this recently.

otter ,

Different spoiler tags for different apps, sadly… 🤷🏼‍♂️

@TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

The problem is your client. Mine has the issue too.

Creat ,

Amended my comment, yes it’s my client and shows fine on desktop/browser. Sorry for the drama.

MutilationWave ,

Oh well it’s a spam bot from a shit site.

jaybone , in IOC leader says 'hate speech' directed at Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting is unacceptable | Africanews

I read the article and I still don’t get it. Why are these people not allowed to compete as women? Do they identify as men?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

No. They identify as women. The IOC agrees. We don’t know how they were tested or what the test results actually were by the IBA since they aren’t being open about it. But it doesn’t matter because the IOC doesn’t accept IBA results.

What’s funny is that a lot of the people arguing that these two women shouldn’t be competing with other women here on Lemmy keep arguing about sporting rules while ignoring the IOC’s saying that rules aren’t being violated.

So much furor over two athletes in a sport which, I believe, has not even gotten to the medal stage yet. They may both be out by then.

I wish the people so upset over these two would spend more time being upset about things like China doing a shitload of covert doping. That is an unfair advantage that they don’t seem to give two shits about. Because “man boxing women.”

SeaJ ,

Not sure about Lin Yu-ting but Imame was born female. Algeria does not allow transitioning so even if she wanted to transition, she could not legally. People are freaking out because the loser complained that she was fighting a ‘man’ because she lost so bad. She let her guard down and then leaned into a right hook. Por course that is going to fuck you up.

mindlight , in Donald Trump: judge rejects efforts to dismiss election subversion case against ex-president

In their motion to dismiss the indictment, defence lawyers argued that Trump was mistreated because he was prosecuted even though others who have challenged election results have avoided criminal charges.

So in Trump’s world if not all are charged, no one should be? This is a school book example of a broken sense of justice and a slimy maggot trying to slither his way out of a problematic situation he created himself.

Dude, most of us had no problem staying away from trying to steal an election. If you did the crime, be prepared to do the time you whiny little ass carrot.

aphlamingphoenix ,

Still, in some of these cases (like the Georgia RICO case), others have been charged and even plead guilty. This is a shit argument all around.

Bonesince1997 , in Donald Trump: judge rejects efforts to dismiss election subversion case against ex-president

Trump deserves penalties.

Captainvaqina ,

Traitor deserves prison.

demizerone , in NASA Is ‘Evaluating All Options’ to Get the Boeing Starliner Crew Home

Holy shit. I got banned from reddit for saying the Boeing starliner astronauts should fear for their lives cuz Boeing. It was a joke, did not want it to become true! Hopefully they come home safe!

werefreeatlast ,

A total ban like mine?

I got banned for going to sniffies and bringing people from there to r/Seattlegay, which I started during the pandemic.

They banned me site wise on all my accounts and all my devices.

tiefling ,

They banned me site wise for saying that riot police should quit their jobs following RvW. But all the right wing trolls spewing vitriol were perfectly acceptable.

2lama , (edited )

I made a bunch of comments critical of the site and then banned myself (deleted account) before they could ban me. “You can’t fire me, I quit!”

P00ptart ,

I basically did the same. Got banned for a week for calling trump a shitbag, then circumvented the ban with a new account and called the mods shitbags for it and got permabanned.

demizerone ,

It was a 3 day ban, but my first in 15 years on the site, and with “Reddit Pro” membership or whatever they called it. Yeah no thanks.

ipkpjersi ,

Wow that’s actually crazy that they banned you for that lmao they couldn’t make it any more obvious they got bought off by private companies, yikes. I’m glad Lemmy isn’t prone to that, inherently by design.

demizerone ,

I got banned by a bot that found my comment and some human approved it. I deleted everything after that. 15 years, almost all of those with direct financial support.

ipkpjersi ,

They autodelete any posts or comments I have tried to make on the SteamDeck subreddit, even ones highly praising Valve, and yet reddit is still filled with spam bots. I don’t have to worry about that at all here. It’s incredible how much of a shithole reddit is now.

postmateDumbass ,

It was a joke, did not want it to become true!

Reddit is, in fact, a joke.

I was so ready to post a Riker that I didn’t notice someone already posted this story and also posted it. So I deleted my post and I am Rikering in here.

FlyingSquid , in Sofa so bad for JD Vance as Trump’s VP pick faces swirling speculation
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Trump has no problem dropping people when they aren’t doing him any favors. He sure did as president. I wouldn’t be shocked if he dropped Vance… but I also don’t think it will help him if he does it no matter who else he picks.

Quill7513 ,

Yeah. Now that we know we can hurt them this bad with the “I don’t have to take this from someone who sucks toes” strat

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Well, hopefully not suck toes. That’s not really that uncommon a kink from what I understand.

I’m sure we can find something though.

Quill7513 ,

Yeah we can figure something out. Its something my friend from Atlanta says he figured out to say to fascists because it totally trips them up since they’re not sex positive. They get weirdly defensive and drop whatever harmful thing they were trying to do to focus on “I’D NEVER SUCK TOES”

I’d prefer to in digital spaces make fun of these weirdos for something that’s not a legitimate and healthy kink. Like maybe who ever comes after Vance we’re just like “We don’t have to take this from someone who licks LSD soaked cats”

ICastFist ,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

I think “toe sucker” hits better because it sounds weird but innocuous enough to be believable, plus it hits just right with fashits’ bootlicking fetish.

Licking a LSD soaked cat is too bizarre to feel possible. A decent alternative might be “jar of mayo”.*

FlyingSquid , in Elon Musk Says He And Trump Have Discussed Creating ‘Efficiency Commission’ To Deregulate But Warns: ‘The Matrix Will Fight Back’
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Because if there’s one thing Elon is really good at, it’s being efficient.

Look how efficient he is at sitting around tweeting stupid shit all day.

MudMan , in Sofa so bad for JD Vance as Trump’s VP pick faces swirling speculation

Beyond anything else, I think we can agree that's a heck of a headline. British press style is extremely annoying, but every now and then something clicks and makes you wonder if it's all worthy (it isn't).

Viking_Hippie ,

You just can’t appreciate a good pun or 19,000 a day 😛

SirSamuel ,

I strongly recommend the book The Truth by Terry Pratchett. He does a send up of the press in general and there are so many puns. Like this gem:

Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler, Ankh-Morpork’s most enterprisingly unsuccessful businessman, peered at William over the top of his portable sausage-cooking tray. Snowflakes hissed in the congealing fat.

William sighed. ‘You’re out late, Mr Dibbler,’ he said politely.

‘Ah, Mr Word. Times is hard in the hot sausage trade,’ said Dibbler.

‘Can’t make both ends meat, eh?’ said William. He couldn’t have stopped himself for a hundred dollars and a shipload of figs.

treefrog , in Elon Musk Says He And Trump Have Discussed Creating ‘Efficiency Commission’ To Deregulate But Warns: ‘The Matrix Will Fight Back’

Fascist appropriating culture to promote their fascist agenda is nothing new.

frezik ,

No culture of their own, so they have to beat up leftists in dark alleys looking for loose artistic styles.

PugJesus , in US military is leaving Niger even less secure: why it didn’t succeed in combating terrorism.

Third, the emphasis on human rights in the fight against terrorism is pushing Niger and other juntas to embrace Russia and China. The US and their allies routinely deny sales of specific weapons to African countries based on human rights records. In 2021, the US Congress blocked the sale of important weapons needed to fight terrorism in Nigeria. Russia and China, however, do not put such restrictions on weapons sales. Niger has been building stronger military ties with Russia lately.

Can’t win for losing. If you put humanitarian conditions on aid, you’re “pushing” allies away; if you don’t put conditions on aid, you’re supporting human rights abuses.

FlyingSquid , in ABC Host Received Death Threats Following Trump Interview
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I woke up to a response from someone who asked me why I had to make “everything” about racism.

This is why.

Davin ,

Pointing out racism is not you making everything about racism, it’s there being a lot of racist shit.
