Sadly yes, I kept running into it on Lemmy in the immediate aftermath of the Texas floods. I wish it was hyperbole, but if you look in threads about any natural disaster in southern states before mods do clean up it’s all ‘get what you voted for’, like children and people who voted for what you wanted (or even can’t legally vote!) aren’t also dying.

People who cheer when southern kids die in a natural disaster because it will hurt their parents, who might have voted Trump: why won’t these stupid fucks vote for my team?

Oh god, that dude. I’d just managed to block the memory of this out.

Ah, I see, initially it read to me like you were saying that you shouldn’t block people at all on the fediverse, not that blocking tools for it suck. I’ve had people be weird as hell about ever blocking anyone for any reason when I’ve posted stuff like this in the past.

Ah, dang. Fingers crossed a solution can be found!

I keep getting the following error while trying to participate: [200] Error while sending: Not an actor

I’ve tried all lowercase and as is capitalization for my username, and it doesn’t make a difference. It seems to recognize the Piefed instance, it just breaks down when I go to the step to enter my username.

Anyone else running into this or know how to fix it?

If the block is a mute and you’re advocating muting over blocking them I’m not really seeing what the issue is.

AFAIK lemmy has no mute function, maybe some apps do? You can mute threads on Piefed, but not people.

I would bet the people fixating on how ‘cyclists break the law all the time!!’ are actually just completely numb to the way cars constantly break the law. I have to engage in what I call ‘defensive walking’ a lot of the time crossing the street or even just walking down the sidewalk, because of how little drivers pay attention to anything that isn’t another car.

God, I wish it only happened once.

While the Bush administration certainly had (very obviou$) reasons for trying to downplay it, I also remember at least some scientists at the time arguing that climate change was a better term because people are particularly stupid about the term global warming when it paradoxically results in some places having a greater number of and more extreme cold events.

Ex: every time some dumbfuck Republican brought a snowball into Congress to talk about how global warming is fake because look here’s snow!!

Don’t like thinking about how much of that probably made it to my brain, organs, and muscles :)

Don’t widen it, add more public transit. You’re not going to need wider roads (like the fucking 101 needs to be any wider) if you give people accessible non-car options. And widening the road is a money pit anyway, it doesn’t solve traffic. “Just keep adding lanes” is magical thinking.

Only if you use a — instead of --, if they know what they’re talking about anyway.

My phone autocorrects them to — so that’s fun, lol.

Same on the wanting more of it faster front! One look at the detail on each panel shows why it takes so long, but it’s absolutely something I could sit and devour in one sitting.

Free range, pasture raised… would probably be a lot better if he didn’t use electronics ;p

You definitely should! Fair warning, it’s a no dialog movie, if that’s not up your alley.

Watch Robot Dreams and try to no re-experience it every time you hear this song challenge (IMPOSSIBLE!!)

Is nobody going to acknowledge that, if real, this man’s farts must smell like the sulfurous bowels of hell itself?

Doing neither while hinting that other people should do the work sure is revealing of the problem, though.
