Thanks, for your explanation!

Now that you mention it I saw these .MD files several times on Github etc.

Can someone explain why I might want to use markdown locally? So far, I only now it from message boards, blog software etc. and all software that supported it came with its own editor. When would I use MD rather than ODT/DOCX?

Wow, this looks ideed very beautiful. But aren’t people running across the tracks back and forth are therby destroying the greenery?

I’m not a scientist, so I’m just guessing here. But looking at popular search terms on porn sites, you’ll find a lot of taboo stuff like (step-)mom, (step-)sis, poop, BDSM, gang bangs etc. But just because people find it interesting in porn, I wouldn’t argue that they necessarily want to act accordingly in real life, bang their relatives etc.

Some time back I also read an article somewhere (sorry no source) that taboos in porn can get somehow addictive in a way that you’re permanently looking for harder taboos.

But as said, I have no clue if that applies here or if there’s scientific evidence for/against this hypothesis.

Maybe they can pull back their head into the shell before opening the floodgates.

I could also imagine that the causality is (partly) the other way around. Demonizing homosexuality makes it a taboo for them and taboos are the base for all kinds of fetishes.

In 5 minutes, you can create a page that looks great on any device - with no coding or design skills required.

Neat. Unfortunately, on my device (Fennec/Firefox Mobile on Android), their sample page is cut-off without possibility to scroll sideways.

That’s really cool and IMO a win win solution. At least I don’t expect that supermarkets have a big margin on the plastic bags that they sell at the check out.

Okay, nothing to see here…

I often shop spontaneously and forget to bring a reusable bag. Still, I didn’t buy a plastic bag in years. Instead, I usually just grab an (almost) empty box from the shelves. There are boxes in all sizes depending on the volume of your goods. It saves the store work and trash and gives the box at least a short second life before I put into recycling myself.

Trump does not require any justification for his behavior.

Trump needs a certain level of support from the general public. If he sends the army in face of peaceful protestors, he sets that support at risk. But if the news show videos of protestors looting and setting random stuff on fire, the audience is much more likely to believe his narrative and support his actions.

A riot is the language of the unheard.

When it comes to violence, I always try to take the perspective of my political opponents. I see myself as pretty left leaning but in a democracy I have to accept that there are also different opinions on how a society should work.

That does not mean that I see all right wing concepts and ideas as acceptable and if a conservative person wants to be respected by me, I expect them to also draw a line and distance themselves from the radical, far-right extremists. If a conservative person supports right wing violence, that’s an absolute no go for me.

But likewise, if I want my opinion to be respected by moderate conservatives, I have to distance myself from protest forms I don’t support. And if people randomly destroy foreign property that is not at all related to the protest, I just can’t get behind that. If I then keep protesting along such people, but condemn others when they just look away or go away from far-right extremists, as recommended here for a left-leaning protest, that’s double standards for me.

I don’t know how to feel about that.

I think there definitely are forms of protest that objectively just hurt any movement. A few people looting stores, setting random stuff on fire and most forms of violence will make the whole crowd appear violent and scare off the general public. If you protest against Trump and then steal stuff from a local store, the vast majority will neither see that as related to Trump nor as an acceptable form of protest. Less people will protest and, more importantly, Trump can use the videos etc. to justify his behavior.

“Which amazing online shop (that the pharma industry wants to hide from you!) offers the best prices for penis enlargement pills? That’s right, it’s this one right here!”

This is meant for simple replacement algorithms like ROT1, ROT13 etc. right?

Also, it’s the reason why she didn’t wear too much.

I’m sure that’s the reason the devs had for this decision.

Personally, I would move to a random instance rather than slrpnk. Not because it’s a bad instance but because I think it’s a bad idea to bundle all communities for a topic in just place. If slrpnk shuts down one day as well, a big chunk of environment related Lemmy would be gone. Following the idea of the Fediverse, it would be more failsafe to spread similar topics as wide as possible.

Just to make that clear, I didn’t mean to insult your experiment in any way. I like the idea of upcycling trash into little projects and creating some useful everyday item. :) It’s nice looking and functional. I was just surprised to see a rather complex setup with such an easy plant as cress that usually grows more or less everywhere. But of course it’s also a great crop for testing purposes.

Nice but I think that complexity isn’t even necessary just for cress. You can just put it on a plate with paper towel and water and it’ll grow just fine in ~3 days.

Can’t you just use another instance to unblock Mastodon?
