That’s a big part of it, same reason they let rapist pastors stay in positions of authority. The entire belief system is ripe for abusing

I’m not gonna sit here and defend the tankies in hexbear but I find sh.itjust works and kbin to have just as many shitty extremists like that piece of shit with no empathy. They never get called out like the others but I have blocked far more accounts from those two feds.

cmbabul ,

There’s certainly a chance that it’s just the landing spot for hexbear alts but still, it’s a problem

As someone who grew up in what is now her district during the 90s and early 00s, it is gerrymandered to hell and back but a good 85% of that area would vote for the GOP even if it gave them an instant herpes outbreak every time they cast a ballot

US sues Apple for illegal monopoly over smartphones (www.theverge.com)

The US Department of Justice and 16 state and district attorneys general accused Apple of operating an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market in a new antitrust lawsuit. The DOJ and states are accusing Apple of driving up prices for consumers and developers at the expense of making users more reliant on its iPhones.

cmbabul ,

I mean I’m an Apple user, although not exclusively, and I am very surprised, not because Apple doesn’t deserve it, they absolutely need to be reigned in like all big tech companies. I’m surprised as hell that the US government in 2024 is attempting to crack down an extremely profitable business. You love to see it

Unarmed, which is seemingly the point of this, but with just a bat/club you could probably fuck a few up quick enough to scare the rest off

I really hope this is the time measles unretired to go play for the Wizards and not the time measles unretired after playing minor league baseball

As someone else who uses all three on a weekly if not daily basis, the only one I disagree with is the Windows row, because i honestly have never met someone in person who I would describe as a fan of Windows, just folks that understand how to utilize it well. But even they shit talk it and Microsoft regularly

cmbabul ,

The grind is fun for me, but once you get through a few seasons there’s also so much time to explore and talk to the villagers

cmbabul ,

Stardew Valley by a wide margin, probably dumped close to 1000 hours into it overall

cmbabul ,

Kinda but I also have to be careful because how addicted I get to it, also in the middle Rebirth

cmbabul ,

Hold on who are we talking about? We talking bout the limousine ridin, the jet flyin, the kiss stealin, wheelin, dealin, son of a gun! And I am having a hard time holding these alligators down. WOOOOOOOOOO!

cmbabul ,

I think we need to go to Korea for that

cmbabul ,

Just wait for FlyingSquid to show up in a comments section and look back through their posts

cmbabul ,

They are very active, one of my favorite accounts to stumble upon

cmbabul , (edited )

Thank you, for providing good content and commentary!

My birth state is usually on the list but fortunately not usually as early or as draconian as the others while still being terrible. Florida, Texas Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri, Tennessee, and at least one the Carolina’s are usually the most crazy in that order. Praise the gods for Atlanta

Dolly Parton is in the same league with “y’all”, barbecue, Dale Earnhardt, and OutKast as the the greatest things to come out of the south. And she’s also at the top of that league

I always knew this was the inevitable conclusion of this series of posts

It’s always a choice eventually, indoctrination from a young age is difficult to shake but I stop that lenience around age 23-25

“Right! One.Two.Five!”

Safari ain’t perfect but it’s leagues better than brave

cmbabul ,

This isn’t true, Safari has that exact extension

cmbabul ,

Don’t lump us all in with them, Safari with Adblock extensions on mobile, Firefox everywhere else

cmbabul ,

I’m going to do my best to give this answer when I’m less drunk tomorrow

cmbabul ,

So you’re gonna want do a space+command and type extensions, that should open the App Store to where you want to be, unlock is one of the top extensions.

cmbabul ,

It’s on iPadOS too

PiHole is awesome, used it for a long time, do yourself a favor and grab a mini pc or spin up a vm on a server and put pfsense on it. You can filter everything out at the entry point to your home network with a high level of granular control.

The Midwest is full of Florida, they just blame it all on Ohio

cmbabul ,

I’m not saying this will happen or is the plan, but within 5 minutes of hearing this news I thought, “what if someone claiming to be Hamas attacked this port?”

I really hope the last ten years has just ruined me and caused me to only expect the worst

Apple and Google are gonna merge become the most invasive and expensive company of all time

Alabama enacts fast-tracked law to protect IVF services (www.bbc.co.uk)

Alabama lawmakers have passed a bill to protect in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) clinics and doctors from lawsuits and criminal prosecution. Last month, the state’s supreme court ruled that frozen embryos had the same rights as children, and people could be held liable for destroying them. At least three IVF clinics paused...

cmbabul ,

You and many others that have shared the same opinion that Roe v Wade is the dog catching the car. The problem is that this dog believes the creator of the universe told him to catch the car, they are never gonna see the error of their ways and about face

Depends on the branch and job, one of the smartest humans I’ve ever met was a network tech for the Air Force

What is a gender neutral replacement for man, guys, buddy, etc?

So I’ve realized that in conversations I’ll use traditional terms for men as general terms for all genders, both singularly and for groups. I always mean it well, but I’ve been thinking that it’s not as inclusive to women/trans people....

cmbabul ,

No southern drawl? Y’all is like our one positive contribution don’t take it away from those of us who ain’t bigots

cmbabul ,

Texas does not get to claim that 100%, Georgia, Alabama, the Carolinas, Tennessee, and Mississippi own a good bit of that

cmbabul ,

Sports discussion and game threads are actually the only thing I really miss about Reddit, I find the time I spend on Lemmy much more productive/informative and less likely to get sucked down an argumentative rabbit hole.

cmbabul ,

I think somewhere between 1-4 million would be a good cross section of interests without a critical mass of users

cmbabul ,

Just a really quick estimate based on the size of the subreddits I once enjoyed that by their nature need to be larger. Things like /r/cfb, /r/nba, /r/FreeFolk

cmbabul ,

Sports need folks having fluid communication about what’s happening right then and you need enough folks to be seeing and reacting to both the event/game and the comments at the same time for that, maybe one day we’ll get there

cmbabul ,

Fuck them both, I think Elon is worse but at their level of terrible the difference amounts to a rounding error

Wait for real? I don’t think I’ve heard many say those terms out loud, i pronounce them in my head Nome, Mate, Soos, and q-t

Trillions of gallons leak from aging drinking water systems, further stressing shrinking US cities (apnews.com)

For generations, the water infrastructure beneath this southern Alabama city was corroding, cracking and failing — out of sight and seemingly out of mind — as the population shrank and poverty rose. Until it became impossible to ignore....

cmbabul ,

The water wars are coming!

cmbabul ,

Raise hell

cmbabul ,

You must be a sad person, go to hell, I’ll never see your response

Do it! Fezzes are cool!

Conservative Christian women in red states are rising up to defend IVF (www.washingtonpost.com)

“They were attacking my faith. It bothered me to the core,” said Sara, a Southern Baptist who identifies as pro-life. “Because I had never viewed [IVF] as wrong, as anything other than beautiful and bringing another life into the world. … I’ve actually had a lot of friends pray for me and encourage me and help me along...

cmbabul ,

They don’t even have to do that, they are one of the few groups of people that can just stop voting altogether. If enough sit out that the GOP loses big they’ll either have to change or a new “conservative” party will be force to rise

cmbabul ,

This is fucking terrible but I bet this gets rolled back when the three big Florida football Universities(UF FSU, and Miami) report they can’t compete because they can only recruit conservative players. It’s fucked up but passion for college football in the south has been used to help drive social change forward in the past. Bear Bryant invited a longtime and dominant integrated USC team to play Bama in Birmingham where the Trojans whipped that ass.

Some rich booster with connections in the government of Florida will get pissed off that the Gators can’t compete and get this removed, it’s sadly gonna take so long it probably won’t be fixable for even longer

cmbabul ,

Realistically it’s probably both in some sort of confluence, the campaign hears the uncommitted vote news and then the massacre happens and they see it as an opportunity to about face without making it look like they are back tracking previous moves. It’s cynical as hell but I think it’s probably likely
