i’ve had the testflight build since early on, but haven’t paid much attention to this app because i can’t get the post-list ui to look the way i prefer in other apps. 😅

my community doesn’t need much moderation either, which means if i don’t check the website often enough i’ll completely miss a few reports because there haven’t been any in a month and my instance admin has to be annoyed by them.

oh i didn’t think to look in the communities list, sorry. my mod queue is empty currently, how does the app show you there’s an unhandled report? I’d kind of expect them to show up in inbox tab, but it seems i have to go through the posts tab -> community list -> mod zone dance to get to them? is there a notification count on the posts tab too for reports to hint to me that there’s something there?

Also it might be nice to mention mod tools in the app description because most lemmy apps are still lacking them.

“full-featured” -> no mod tools

tired of this dance with lemmy apps

i haven’t used wired headphones since a few years before jacks went away, and i have never missed that effing cable

on lemmy you can edit your title to correct the typo

having is less annoying way of not doing needless/bug-prone repetition. if you select someCalculatedValue(someInput) as lol you can add having lol > 42 in mysql, whereas without (ie in pgsql) you’d need to do where someCalculatedValue(someInput) > 42, and make sure changes to that call stay in sync despite how far apart they are in a complex sql statement.

most languages have some first or third party lib that implements a query builder

my hopes of a spidey/daredevil team up game have been foiled is the real tragedy here

so it was like every demo ever? k

i find it quite disturbing that there are bears in the alaskan military

I didn’t become vegan because i didn’t like the taste or the experience. I did because I could no longer handle contributing to animal cruelty every time i need to feed myself (or clothes, or so many other things). It’s a moral decision, not a culinary adventure.

Prior to becoming vegan i said the same thing you are saying in this post. I’m gonna tell you the same thing i would tell my younger self: go fuck yourself, i’ll be vegan however i want. Why the fuck are you judging how i’m doing so? What the absolute shit does it matter whether you “understand” why i eat what i eat? I do eat a lot of those cuisines, but i do also eat vegan meat replacements, because sometimes i just feel like a burger, and vegan food science has been getting better and better over the last few decades.

Plus, all of those traditional recipes and exotic veggies are available to you too. You can eat them even if you’re not vegan. Hell, you can even add meat to them if you want. Many of them are made traditionally both with and without meat. But no, you pick a hot dog too?

We should subtract from the military’s budget anything they can’t explain on an audit.

So here’s the thing. The whole west coast of NA, including california, oregon, washington, and BC are considered to be super liberal areas. This is true by a majority of the population, but all of these regions are still filled with people who are as conservative as any other rural area in the US. It’s just that in those regions, more people populate the large cities than the rural areas.

Really, conservatism reigns in poorer, less educated, and more isolated regions with low population and without diversity, where tribalism can run rampant; it’s easy to be a racist shitbag if you barely meet anyone with a different skin color than you. Liberalism thrives in regions with diverse populations where in order to live we have to cooperate with others.

I live in Portland, Oregon. People tend to think oregon is a blue state wonderland (except during covid and the floyd protests. then apparently the whole city was on fire and in a state of complete anarchy; spoiler— it totally wasn’t). That’s not the case. We just have enough people in large cities to outnumber the racist cuntballoons in the rural areas. And that’s what the whole west coast is like (and basically every “blue state” in the US)

Western Canada is a lot like western USA. Filled with shart-gargling racists/homophobes/transphobes, but outnumbered by people who aren’t pieces of shit.

west coast (and especially PNW) culture is just “we kinda outnumber them slightly”, but the overall issue comes down to: in rural/conservative areas, it’s easy to be racist/homophobic/transphobic/other-religions-phobic, because you never have to consider anyone’s feelings that hurt your worldview because you don’t know them personally and do not consider them to be human on the same level as you.

pretty sure i’ve received this same msg on tinder

life happened. this is what most of us look like on the inside

ok but can you get me a job there bc i think i would excel

Look we’ve all seen toy story

If there’s one thing that’s true of every criminal from supervillain to street level thug it’s that they always give the authorities and vigilantes plenty of time to “prepare”, especially if it’s batman.

Plus he’s not all that great about it; plenty of others, most famously Bane, have out-prepared and/or out-planned batman.

“if batman had time to prepare” is just what people tell themselves. it‘s never really considered that if batman has time to prepare, so would his enemies because they’d know about their own crimes before they happen.

It’s basically arguing the same thing as “well batman will beat you if he jumps out from behind a corner and sucker punches you”. like yeah a lot of people would kick my ass if they get to surprise me.

and like so what’s the situation like gordon gets on his red phone and is like “batman help the penguin and the joker are going around gotham causing mayhem, destruction, and death!” “….ok. how much time do i have to prepare?”

kinda the nature of the job is that you don’t have time to prepare, without letting people get hurt or die while you’re off preparing. it’s hack writing when he’s written that way and hospital grade coping for batman fans that don’t want to admit someone could easily beat him.

according to him, he is just pooping in cans and throwing it, because he likes doing it, and thinks that’s probably normal and a lot of people “do things like this”.

wasn’t incrimination, just his legal defense. he throws poop cans at everyone, so he could not have been targeting specific people to throw poop cans into their parking lot. it just makes him happy to throw poop in cans. it’s something he indulges in to relieve stress every once in a while.

This wasn’t about them, your honor, it was about my need to hurl fecal canisters wherever i feel like because that’s what gets me off!

He told the judge this was not a targeted attack because he just likes to indulge in throwing poop in pringles cans everywhere. told the judge he did it in that year at least 10 times prior to throwing this can.
