i enjoy not getting threatening letters from my ISP about downloading shit.

thats america, always focused on the important things like naming post offices and national whatevers.

still have the dead-kid tax required to keep the 2nd amendment alive and well.

a better question is ‘the problem of evil’

if god is truly omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), and omnibenevolent (perfectly good), then it seems logically impossible for significant evil to exist, as god would both know about it and have the power to prevent it.

this is my favorite as the theistic hand-waving needing to resolve it is incredible from the start.

christmas at ground zero - weird al

reminds me of the artistic term trompe l’oeil which is a phrase that means “deceive the eye”

maybe dialogue [request type -> request -> response]

best to play both worlds until one overtakes the other. they both still have a place currently.

i come from a world where your server product shouldnt look like ass without some 3rd party app.

‘gross’ is the first thing that pops in my head.

• a. it allows access to the ‘microblog’ side of the fediverse… the ‘twitter-like’ stuff. such as mastodon and universodon… so you can follow people and they can follow you. this is not possible using lemmy
• b. it doesnt look like someone forgot the css
• c. doesnt need an app on mobile. works great from mobile browsers.

id just like to add that lemmy is a single platform in the threadiverse half of the fediverse, the reddit-clone side.

there are platforms like mbin that can access all sides of the fediverse. shoutout https://moist.catsweat.com

give it a few years. were about to find out

is ‘boost’ not a basic lemmy feature? i do lot of boosting from mbin, but it is inherently mastodon-capable.

ex:

not that im aware of.

america was founded on this crazy idea of ‘rugged individualism’. that ‘socialism’ is inherently evil. its every man for themselves, and anyone not rich is so because they arent doing it correctly.

its also the reason why even a class full of dead kindergartners is ok as long as we get to keep our guns.

its the opposite of that.

its that the unsecured ‘loans’ provided to ignorant kids for schooling are immune to be disgorged by bankruptcy. so they are abused by agencies providing the loans, and the schools who know those loans are forever financed.

its taking advantage of children, basically. but its a-ok, because profit.

because america is the land of profit over humans. its just that simple.

its ingrained in the entire country. if some rando at the top isnt profiting, it must be killed. its the problem with healthcare. its the problem with government (congress). its the reason we are entrenched in a 2-party hellscape.

companies are very averse to lawsuits, so they will toe the line of what is legal. the FDA is supposed to maintain what is legal or not based on safety, but conservatives in this country are always trying to blur those rules for monetary gain.

that said, with regards to plastics there are many ‘food-grade’ plastics designed for these specific use cases.

id be curious of what other countries are more strict when it comes to the FDA. I’ve seen it about on-par with other 1st world nations. theres always a bit of differentiation when it gets to some specifics, but overall the US is better off than 95% of the planet.

now with the orange turd back in office, i suspect that will drop precipitously as they dismantle important organizations like the FDA and the department of education.

your ignorance of chemistry does not mean there are no standards.

its them fuckers from iowa you have to watch out for

e. i meant ohio. they all look the same to me

crazy crackers makin fun of themselves isnt racist

we damn well should be able to celebrate our differences, including race. even if it melts a few snowflakes

ya got my vote
