I like knitting, math, and uplifting the proletariat.
In the context you’ve given, sure! I like it but I have trouble believing people when they say it.
Not saying that the person in the post is correct in conflating those words, I don’t think that’s accurate at all.
However, it is disheartening to see so many ill-informed comments about fatness here… It’s way, way more complicated than just “calories in/calories out”. Even the extent to which it’s unhealthy is more complicated; obesity is linked to higher risk of heart disease, but also linked to higher probability of surviving strokes/etc. A lot of the problem stems from the fact that BMI is a nearly useless metric.
Congrats!!! It’s looking great so far, love the low bandwidth aspect.
My Lemmy instance seems to have been abandoned, and it’s been slowly losing functionality over the last few months. So, I’ve been begrudgingly trying to decide on a new one for when this one fails entirely… Piefed seems like it’d be a great choice, except I’ll definitely need to wait until it either works with a Lemmy app, has its own app, or at least has a PWA. Anyway, great work!! Lovely to see multiple interoperable platforms shaping up.
Makes sense to me, nothing to add! I hope the fediverse gets better for marginalized people…
Unfortunately Lemmy being a reddit-like platform, there’s likely gonna be a bunch of reddit-like people in these comments saying reddit-like things that go against one or all of these guidelines.
One of my boyfriends is in the middle of forcing me to watch all of Naruto, and honestly I hate it so far? Once you’re a couple seasons into Shipuden they interrupt every single episode of actual progress with like 5 episodes of unnecessary flashbacks. Also the message is terrible, it’s misogynistic as hell and damn near fascistic.
For the One Piece fans here, I’m getting the impression that it’s like almost exactly the opposite. Is that true? If so we’re watching that next for sure.
They don’t seem to have much presence here as far as I’ve been able to tell. It’s a very purple state so you’d think all the orgs would be here, but they’re really not.
As I understand it, a lot of the leftists I associate with don’t like them very much? Mostly of the anarchist variety. I don’t actually know what the story is there though, it seems more personal than just ideological differences. This is really unfortunate because they’re the only leftist group that’s actually doing significant work where I live. None of the other groups have any presence here, so it’s PSL or bust.
The reason you can’t afford food is because precariousness is baked into the system, it’s a necessary component to force people to participate in capitalism largely against their will, whether they realize it or not. So, in that sense, surviving in any other way than by selling your labor is at least a little revolutionary, isn’t it?
The outlawing of supreme leaders.
I do! We have them where I live and this has happened to me too lol. I like to consider it a sign of trust that they’re willing to get that close to me, even though it’s more likely they’re just kind of oblivious. Although, they do have the best eyesight of any centipede… so who knows!
I feel like my answer might break AskLemmy’s rule 2 about “Overt Politics”, but so do a lot of the other answers? Feel free to delete if so.
As far as the current American system goes… nothing. By and large, even laws that seem good are mostly only used in service of the elites, against the people. Consider this series of events:
Unfortunately, this general sequence is not uncommon at all. Neither is the inverse, where the bureaucrats/judges/etc decide “that doesn’t count, actually” when it comes to an elite very clearly breaking an existing law, or else changing the law so it doesn’t apply to them in retrospect.
Please be nice to house centipedes, they’re friends. They won’t hurt you.
EDIT: Sorry OP, I shouldn’t have assumed any ill will, you seem cool!
Thanks! I hope your huckleberries and raspberries learn to get along, would definitely be nice to have both lol. I try not to think about the dead stuff too much, and just keep rebuilding, but it’s hard.
The elderberries are finally starting to ripen and the beautyberries are starting to fruit. The box huckleberry seems to be very happy this year, I dunno why though. The maypops and creeping cucumbers have finally come out, late as they usually do, and are climbing everything. Unfortunately so are the invasive morning glories that I have to keep rescuing everything else from. The young pricklyash is finally starting to look more like a tree than a rose bush. The ostrich and maidenhair ferns are having their second terrible year in a row, not sure what’s going on there. Mayapples are very nearly ripe. Finally, the neighbor and landlord have murdered an even greater chunk of the garden. Nearly a third dead to poison…
Patron using the computer: “Your Google is broken! No matter what I search, it just shows me books!”
Me: “…you’re typing in the library’s catalog. This isn’t Google.”
Sounds like it’s a date!

Northeast, but I travel southeast usually at least once a year! How’s Lowe Mill in Huntsville sound for a fun date? 😉
I’m not like a huge fan of myself either, so there, we have a thing in common already lol
Oh weird, I know where that option usually shows up for me (running Vanadium browser on GrapheneOS), but it doesn’t seem to be there for Piefed?
EDIT: Nevermind, sorry! I think they combined the “add shortcut” and “install app” buttons in Vanadium, got it set up now.
