Biden was always a punk-ass bitch puppet of the elite.

Fuck all the morons who voted for him in the primary.

The war on drugs is one of humanity’s biggest mistakes, and everyone who supports it should be rehabilitated or executed.

God forbid you put yourselves at the same risk as the Ukrainians defending your asses.

You’re right, it’s not their responsibility.

The software would still be better if it had this feature, or at least some kind of warning or notification to alert users of the problem before they upgrade.

You’re probably right.

I’m trying to look up a user on my instance from another insance with theirinstance.com/u/myuser@myinstance.com and it’s not working.

I’m not sure what could be causing this, it could be something simple like the previous issue I had earlier with the domain name. I’m going to go through my settings and try to figure this one out, but I’m still kind of new to all of this so it may take some time.

Thanks yet again.

I tried claiming my instance, but now I’m getting the error: API Key PM failed

Slowly and steadily, this problem will be solved!

Thank you. I think I figured it out.

In my lemmy.hjson file, I accidentally put the internal IP address of my server instead of the domain name. This was a carry-over from testing on my main machine by using an IP address and port forwarding because I didn’t have a domain name to use.

I changed the hostname setting in lemmy.hjson to my domain name, and now it seems to be working. Sort of.

Now I have a different error, “Your instance is not guaranteed in Fediseer. Please check fediseer.com”, but this one seems less of a technical issue. I will have to learn what this is about and hopefully I can get it to work :)

Censorship and surveillance need to die.

I have a lenovo, and while the software side seems to be good, the hardware side is not.

They clearly don’t give a shit about hinges and use the cheapest, thinnest plastic they can source.

It’s fucking stupid and should be illegal, but our representatives don’t represent us.

Thanks, this looks interesting.

I tried adding my instance under “Manage Instances” but got this error: Request timed out: GET https://{INTERNAL_IP}/nodeinfo/2.1

I’m not sure what this means. Could anyone help provide an explanation?

Really? Just about everyone I come across is surprised when they find this out.

Kiss the ring.

To counter everyone saying “they do,” could you be referring to more high-profile cases?

Trump was shot at, but not killed. Would’ve made history if he was.

The US doesn’t have political assassinations on the level of say, Mexico, but they are frequent enough for someone to be able to point to them still happening. Usually it’s about some congressperson that we’ve never heard of.

I’m not sure if there’s greater protection based on the popularity of politicians. It would make sense if someone like AOC gets more protection than, well, someone we haven’t heard of.

Very very bad.

I thought Hillary would win the 2016 election.

It’s up to you whether or not it’s important. I see your point on whether or not it’s possible, and I’m inclined to agree with you.

I’m glad that pretty much all of the artists I enjoy didn’t do anything like drug and rape women or come out in favor of oppressive nonsense (as far as we know.)

It doesn’t surprise me that the businessmen posing as artists routinely end up being pieces of shit. It’s always good for a laugh when the morons who liked their art find out for themselves.

I dunno about brita specifically, but my walmart water filter has served me well throughout the years.

Back when I moved in to a friend’s house and started drinking his tap water, I would get sick all the time. I knew it was the water, I could feel it. Every time I drank it, it tasted weird, metallic, and I could tell I was poisoning myself.

Ever since I started filtering it, I stopped getting sick. Haven’t looked back and have been drinking walmart-filtered tap water ever since.

Haven’t been sick in years, either.

Food.

That’s honestly all my money goes towards these days.

And utilities.

It’s really just preference.

What you really should be looking for are “circumaural” headphones. These are headphones that cover your entire ear.

Whether you get open-back or closed-back is entirely up to you. Don’t let anyone convince you that one is strictly superior to the other.

They both have their benefits and detriments.

Black Lives Matter is a fine name for what it supports.

I didn’t study the etymology of feminism, but in practice it has always resulted in fighting for women’s rights while ignoring or paying lip-service to men’s rights.

There’s no feminist platform that advocates for removing men from the draft or including women in it, for example. I don’t believe that the differences between men and women, especially today, are great enough to give any preference to one sex over the other. Most of us are suffering because we are poor.

From my experience, feminists will say feminism is about equality to fool people who don’t know any better into supporting a cause that is practically about female superiority. They believe it’s woman’s turn to be the oppressors and to them that is ‘fair.’

This is exemplified by how it’s socially acceptable (even encouraged) to make disparaging comments about men, but making similar comments about women will get you ostracized. You can’t say you’re for equality of the sexes if you laugh when somebody says “I hate all men” but get angry if someone else says “I hate all women.” Neither is acceptable, but feminists will disagree.

I’ll accept that feminism is about furthering the rights of women.

It’s not about equality, though, which is why we never hear feminists complaining about men in the draft.

It’s also a terrible word to use if it is about equality because it clearly favors one group over others. If you want to support equality, you should use a different word.
