Can you maybe explain that last sentence?

Nice idea, thanks to the admins for coming up with this and putting their money to fund it.

I guess we’re likely to see a fair number of comments trying to award silver.

Can we have a “!repeatAward” or similar command? Reply to a “!lemmySilver” comment with it and you can award for the same comment or post. IMO that would reduce clutter because you can then just collapse the first award command and get on with reading actual comments. Maybe even delete all “!lemmySilver” commands after the first one, and DM people letting them know they should use the “!repeatAward” command.

Here come the gaslighters 🤦‍♂️

Stereotypes only exist because they have some basis in fact.

No, a good portion of stereotypes are just completely made up. Tiring hearing this justification.

You might find the XDG base directory standard interesting also, solves the problem the meme is about.

I have an instagram account to better fit in and none of my friends ever really post. Its mostly for messaging, sharing stuff we find, looking at stuff.

Rarely anyone seems to share every bit of what they do, if at all.

Source on the semi-aquatic part? Looking it up only brings up the aquatic ape hypothesis which is pseudoscience.

That was interesting but it didnt talk about the export ban. It was more like an overview of the Taiwanese economy and how the chip industry relates to it.

Author-activist Cory Doctorow does a daily thread on Mastodon (on stuff like tech policy) but because each post doesn’t have much text the threads get long. He also posts it on his blog, but I think Brewchin finds the thread annoying. His account: https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic

Its a reference to this meme template by the way: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/trade-offer

Couldnt you just copy the list of instances lemmy.world or a similarly large instance federates with (its in the footer), or grab a the list of Lemmy instances from e.g fedidb.org to block?

I feel that would block most of the network, and doubt there would be much value left in joining whatever unconnected instances left.

On a positive note it wont be the same free expression from Facebook that gave us the Rohingya genocide :)

I dont think its classist since they dont suggest it as a precondition youve got to do before marrying, more a thing you can give a go like they prefaced with “if you can afford it”.

As I pointed out, “are the straights ok” has nothing to do with actual wellbeing. Its meant to express surprise the same way someone might reply to “I like pineapples on pizza” with “are you ok?”.

Theres nothing to take offence over. Im straight myself. I probably did a bad job at explaining what the phrase takes aim at. See /r/AreTheStraightsOK on Reddit for examples of what it means.

Theres some strange “culture” around straight relationships and jokes about how your wife sucks is an example of it.

Asking “are the straights ok” is to express that you notice an example of that, obviously not an actual question about mental health.
