People who fetishize self defense carry will always have loaded and unlocked guns in the house because they are afraid of someone breaking in at any moment and they might need to play John Wick: Home Edition. Those kinds of people also teach gun safety because they think responsible handling of firearms is important.

They just don’t understand that accidents are far more likely than a home invasion, and children are children even if they are taught gun safety.

The constant UI changes that fix nothing of importance and make using it less enjoyable.

A recent update changed the options for navigation from being able to hide the three icons at the bottom and swipe instead to make it like an iphone where you have one swipe up and it does things based on whether you hold or let go immediately and now the sides are go back swipes. They kept the option to show buttons, but apparently keeping the two options and adding this new train wreck as a third option is too hard. So to use my fulll screen real estate I have the joy of accidentally going back a page dozens of times per day, holding or not holding the swipe up the wrong amount of time dozens of times per day, and when I crop photos I constantly catch the stupid edge go back thing and have to cancel. At least it asks first I guess.

Why couldn’t they keep swipe up for three things if they kept the buttons in the same spot anyway? I am still trying to get used to the new stupid thing after a few months because the bottom buttons are such a waste of space.

That is the worst offender, but changing icons, how notifications work, and several other things are just annoying enough tl not drive me away but feel like change for the sake of change. I know some changes can require a lot of maintenance to have multiple options, but keeping a basic navigation option when adding a third should not jave been a big deal.

Be the continuation of a meme you want to see.

It has what plants crave!

I mean, they had (staged) footage and (fraudulent) receipts the first time.

Hey, he showed a bunch of manilla folders with stacks of papers that were totally not blank props and lied about divesting or whatever from his private companies that were a clear conflict of interest thrpighout his presidency. That totally counts!

“Don’t punish political candidates like normal people” is a shitty reason to avoid justice.

“Justice delayed is justice guaranteed” as they say.

A lot of the reason for separate sports and other competitions is because of exclusion due to sexism, not physical differences. Chess for example was riddled with men who refused to play women, or share knowledge, or anything that would help the playing field be anywhere close to equal.

While it would be technically possible to force everyone together, a lot of the separation is so that training and knowledge transfer can occur, women can feel welcome to participate in the first place, etc.

Yelp, huge red flag.

Bags of money!

Apparently they were duped into thinking the money came from pro-Russian US conservatives or something like that instead of directly from the source.

I disagree that they were duped in any way since the pro Russian messaging was still pro Russian messaging and the source of the money is not important.

The Navy said Yaste was relieved of duty “due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command the guided-missile destroyer” that’s currently deployed in the Gulf of Oman. The statement didn’t elaborate about why Yaste was replaced.

I expect it was something other than the picture due to the four month gap, but the pic could be part of an overall pattern of incompetence.

Yeah, tankie bullshit deserves to be heard because of an open mind, but not fascist bullshit.

Both are bullshit and should be blocked.

I don’t want to end up in a bubble and only hear opinions I already agree with. I think I did block one far right instance entirely, cause I don’t value the ideas of bigots and fascists.

Hmmmmm

Edit: Apparently tankie bullshit is fine!

In my experience all comments in the chain after the blocked user are not displayed.

I want to block the users as a group even if the instance at which I am registered does not defederate.

Lemmy.ml and hexbear were the first two I blocked and have zero regrets.

I blocked a few others because the content didn’t interest me and my preference is to browse on All instead of Subscribed so I can find content in communities I did not know existed. For example I blocked lemmynsfw because I didn’t want the content to come up while browing in public.

I wish there was an additional option to block all users of an instance separate from the instance block that applies to communities.

Am American and welcome any kind of discussion. I don’t think any country or group should be immune from discussion, including criticism.

As with any country, we have plenty to criticize and we are large and influential enough that there should be plenty of discussion about the things we do. Especially our meddling across the globe.

I was hoping for Adele.

My disapppintment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
