I think they meant removing the pieces rather than the much simpler and more common “tubes tied” procedure.

One thing to add is that there is a difference between looking nice, and looking fashionable. Looking nice tends to be relatively timeless. Going back 100 years, you could easily put on one of Humphrey Bogart’s suits (probably minus the hat and cigarette) and easily be seen as very well-dressed. Same for a James Bond tuxedo.
But neither of these will make you appear fashionable. That is to say, in touch with the current clothing trends, particularly of the youth.
It’s up to the OP if the latter is really what they want.
At this point, switching to plastic straws feels like such a reprieve. Can we keep him focused on little annoyances like this? Or making him hysterical that the 7-11 ran out of Cheetos?
Unfortunately, that seems to be about local communities, which aren’t really important. In fact, due to federation, that’s the least important aspect of an instance.
By default, Lemmy is wide open to anything and everything. You need to see what they have turned off/blocked/removed, to see if it’s what you want.
Many (most?) instances do block porn. Aside from liability concerns, porn tends to be high bandwidth, meaning high costs to operate. As such, there are a handful of VERY NSFW instances that aren’t well-federated.
Of course, it depends on how you define porn. I see a ton of suggestive (but not outright pornographic) anime when I browse All/New, but very little of actual naked humans.
He was a zombie?
That’s a really good question. I know “zombie apocalypse” isn’t well defined, but it usually indicates a complete and total destruction of society. Even once the zombies are gone, there’s no civilization to return to. It’s not like a hurricane, where people start to rebuild.
Considering the post-post-apocalypse, I’m not sure it’s a world I would want to be part of.
I remember Neil DeGrasse Tyson explaining away zombies. Really took the immersion out of any zombie movies. Basically what you said, but more of it.
For far too many people, the decision whether to cooperate with Nazis depends on profits to be had.
It was true of IBM in the 1940s, and it’s true today.
There are certainly some exceptions, but 90+% of species are not.
Most wildlife isn’t capable of that level of thought or empathy.
For most animals that hunt, the thought process is “I’m hungry. This looks like something I can eat. Now I’m not hungry”
I post this every time someone is looking for “free speech”, and it has been completely relevant every single time.
There’s another saying, “Give them bread and circuses, and they will never revolt.” These statements are in direct conflict with each other.
Do whatever you can to get to a friendly location.
Post-US, I expect to see the new country of California to become a world superpower, but it will not be an easy path. I expect it to be a major military target, from both foreign and domestic adversaries.
The fact that you describe yourself as skinny and low weight suggests that this is not about calories. Do you have a high carb diet? That tends to cause fat to collect in the midsection. If you’ve ever seen starving children in Africa, you may have noticed that a lot of them have a similar stomach bulge, despite being clearly malnourished. It’s from their diet that’s high in grains.
Biden’s entire M.O., from the campaign trail to leaving office, was to not rock the boat. Nothing in your life will change. Stay the course.
His pardons were meant to keep the boat from rocking him. Nothing has changed in his world.
Seriously, we all need to stop using Reddit as the primary source on this. We have already seen that they WILL and DO bend the knee. That makes it incredibly easy to kneecap the whole thing.
You can post to Reddit, Facebook, etc all you like, but it needs to link back to something more trustworthy.
Not necessarily Lemmy, but something that won’t cave the moment the diaper-wearing manbabies start whining.
Hammurabi’s Code was largely about building standards. This tells us that buildings at the time were terrible. It seems that not much has changed in that regard.
For anyone unaware, there are a number of memes about RATM (mostly Tom Morello’s) politics

But my personal favorite, from 2020, is this one: https://i.imgur.com/ix6Ig4Hg.jpg
This is the real question.
I don’t think the best advice regarding checking accounts has really changed. You should already have gotten out of the big banks, because they actively try to screw you. That’s been true with or without the CFPB. It just takes a higher priority now.
CUs are accountable to their members, but now we’ve lost some assurances. We probably need to be more vigilant to ensure it’s being managed properly.
