  • There are tons of defendants across Amerikkka in similar situations and the fact that the ACLU is constantly defending scumbags in the name of protecting all of our rights is the most asinine liberal bullshit I can think of. How many poor black people are there sitting in rikers on some stop-and-frisk bullshit, while the ACLU is prioritizing the rights of Neo-Nazis? There are plenty of other ways to address warranties searches and ironically this dipshit would probably benefit from any precedent that addresses this issue, but at the very least… and this is an example of the bar being in hell and them trying to lower… but at the least, don’t provide free legal defense council for society’s best arguments against civilization. But if none of that resonates, just don’t defend people that spend a not insignificant amount of time and respurces to attack the existence of things like the ACLU before and after you defend them. Because when they get off, maybe their next attack will annihilate the right to free council for everybody else in the country. Or as Aus Rotten put it; don’t give them freedom because they’re not going to give you yours. Fuck Nazi Sympathy. Of any kind.



  • Its also funny how you chose to infer how I feel about your choice to eat meat, which I actually never addressed. That’s just how YOU feel about what I said. What’s funny is that you are the one appealing to emotion, with your strawman argument about religion. In reality, this article makes conclusions based on a body of peer reviewed science. You claim you don’t like their slant and expect everybody to come along with you, when frankly nobody asked your opinion and in reality that is closer to what religions do in demanding atheists disprove god. This article actually demonstrates proof of facts with cited science. You claim those studies must all be wrong because they don’t prove your argument without so much as offering an alternative demonstrated by anything we can verify. So you’re essentially appealing to the idea of meat eating as an infallible diety for which you will accept no proof that contradicts its divinity. Again, its 100% emotion. Its just hilarious at this point. I’m having fun. You?








  • Bidens state department openly enables and encourages genocide and then they feel slighted by his sub 40% approval (blaming the people for your poll numbers is really not helping the situation for anybody that needs to hear this). I don’t know what is so hard for them to understand. Nobody is happy with the course of action. A great way to reverse these poll numbers would be to stop providing Israel with material support for genocide and to provide Palestinians material support for simply existing, but Biden has made his bed with a base of liberals that is a rapidly shrinking block and without them he has literally no support what-so-ever. The message that these tone def liberals will inevitably not take from all this is that the democratic party needs to change dramatically if they ever want to win a national election again. Honestly this is the message they needed to get in 2016 and failed to pick up on when they went all in on Hillary. They took winning in 2020 with Biden as a mandate from the masses, which they misread incredibly (He won because we all had enough of Trumps shit and promptly learned that hey, actually Bidens shit is worse somehow) and they are now running on the mandate nobody ever gave them. Trump is going to trounce any Democrat they could run in 2024, because the one thing the Democrats don’t get is that the demographics have changed. Liberal boomers are not a viable course to victory and Black and Latino voters are much more conservative then they want to believe and are finding the modern democratic party just as racist as the modern republican party, so why not vote their religious values. The math is not good for a democratic base which makes a plurality of about 37% of likely voters. If the Democrats want to fill in that gap they need to do things to pull in more young voters, who don’t want genocide in Gaza. Denying it is happening is the most tone def way to appeal to a generation of voters who actually know what gaslighting is.






  • I love star trek, so I love that instance, but Lemmy.world feels like its replicating the toxic discussion style from reddit. I’m not here because I loved reddit but hate what they did to it. I have hated reddit for years, I am here for a completely different thing from reddit. The slrpnk instance and the Lemmy.ml are the main instances I want to interact with. If there are other anarchist instances in the future, I’d like to interact with those, but ideally keep the toxic bullshit to a minimum.




  • The problem with you techbros is you can’t imagine anything at smaller scales. But what you just said… Jabber is here for 25 years. That means it is good enough for tons of people. Not everybody needs a shiney new toy and if free software doesn’t scale, then who cares. It can and will still work for those of us willing to share the burden and for those that can’t, each one of me can accommodate at least a few such users and those that just won’t… Fuck em. We don’t have to capture every use case to be of value. I use jabber. I have plans to self host it. It works and has done so for 25 years. Furthermore AIM captured everything a chat needs to do, why do we keep reinventing this wheel when there are much more interesting problems that need to be solved.



  • This one goes by a bunch of different common names from pheasant back to hawks wing, to dryad saddle(depending on geography, but all refer to the same mushroom) Polyporus Squamosus or if you prefer the nomenclature based on modern genetics: Cerioporus squamosus. I call it watermelon of the woods because of the smell. It is edible when very, very young and not too woody yet. It kind of cooks up like king trumpet, but not nearly as delicious. Some say the watermelon flavor comes out when you cook it, I’ve never found that to be true, but never-the-less, perhaps seasoning with mint would be a good way to go to get the watermelon flavor to come forward.
