Oh shit yeah, I assumed that was a given because I forgot other countries have cops that actually help people sometimes. ESPECIALLY stay away from any cop with visible tats because there’s a non zero chance they’re in a literal gang.

They’re for sure more worthy of the cash than the no stones Rolling Stone.

The Smokies are beautiful, I’m sure you’ll both have a good time. Chattanooga is worth visiting if you have the time, it’s a good mix of college town and rural Appalachian beauty.

Just be aware of your surroundings and whether or not anyone is giving you the stink eye or staring you down, and assume any dude giving you shit has a gun (ie, don’t escalate and just leave). I don’t say that to scare you, carrying guns is just very normal in large swathes of the south, so tailor your threat response accordingly. The majority of people are not gonna be a problem, especially in urban areas. But anyone telling you it never happens is living in denial.

I was mocking the company that published the article for not titling the headline to reflect what it is (a Nazi salute), I agree it’s not a big mystery what he did or why.

This is why orgs like ProPublica, Assigned Media, etc are such a gift.

‘People with functioning vision have reported seeing Musk give a Nazi salute. As the news, we’ve decided to not investigate this any further.’

Gotta be honest, I’m feeling real “then perish” about it when this is literally the function of the fourth estate and these news companies are probably one of the best poised, financially and legally, to actually do something other than bend the knee.

It takes them until the ~~third~~ edit: miscount, fourth paragraph to even connect it to Nazi Germany. “Straight arm salute” and “Roman salute” and not a single use of the term “Nazi salute”, is this a fucking joke?

Thanks for the info!

Oooh, is it subscribing that starts up federation of community content and not searching for it? For some reason I was under the impression that just putting the !communityname@instance into the search bar did it

None of that is showing up on my instance, is this just federation being slow on one end or the other? The announcement post you linked isn't loading for me, either.
