Go do that in Germany and see what happens, if you’re so sure it’s not a Nazi salute.

Is this a modern (past 20-30 years) trend, or did I just get insanely lucky with my school teaching us about stuff like the Trail of Tears as a kid?

Fucking crazy to me that so many people left of center are fighting over who to blame on their side when the people who voted for it are right there and in power.

Out of Gritty Skittles?? Gritty supplement incoming!

I’m immensely relieved he was actually defrocked and not just given a slap on the wrist.

I sense a right wing grift career in his future.

If you can find an LGBT center near you that does therapy I highly recommend it. Absolutely changed my life to be able to have therapy with someone that I wasn’t either worrying about educating about LGBT issues or straight up dealing with ignorant comments/questions.

I’ve been struggling with plasma deck, I’ll have to try this.

From what I understand, there are two German Aldi companies (Aldi Sud and Aldi Nord), and the one that owns Trader Joe's in the US is not the same one that owns Aldi brand stores in the US.

Aldi is another winner, if you have one near you. I realize the bar is underground at this point, but I was legitimately impressed when I saw all their cashiers sitting on stools. Literally never seen another grocery store that allows that. Work culture is so deranged.

The frequent burns are what’s killing the native plants. Burns aren’t supposed to happen this frequently, and invasives are crowding out the drought resistant natives.

Reparations from the state to the property owners in Los Angeles are in order, and soon. They are already late.

Had to wait to the end for the reveal to happen. The rich people who built multi million dollar mansions in extreme fire risk country deserve to raid state funds, because nearly a century ago California was at the forefront of oil extraction. Yes, this makes total sense. No mention of Texas, Alaska, or any other state still all in on oil, of course. Or the responsibility of the US as a nation to curb oil usage. “Climate change is happening, so California owes me money because I am rich and own a house there.”

This whole article is one laundry list of rich people complaints about California with a few obvious solutions (wow, after a major fire you think buildings should be fire hardened? You don’t say) sprinkled in to make it seem reasonable.

How can it not be his house when he matches the cat furniture so well? Checkmate, human.

 

I’m getting an error when I try to upload pictures that says:

“syntaxerror: JSON

Parse error: Unexpected identifier “Request””

I saw an older thread on here about the same error and it was suggested it could be a file size thing, but the files I’ve tried uploading are around 30-50 kb so I don’t think it’s that.

It doesn’t seem to be an issue with the file itself having something causing an error either, as I’ve tried using image files made on different computers as well.

For anyone unfamiliar with Gwen Smith, she’s a cofounder of TDOR and a reporter for the Bay Area Reporter.

If you know any trans youth around Minnesota please pass it on to them or their families!

For anyone unable to see the post without a Bluesky account, it’s a picture of a flier that reads:

NOTE: It has come to our attention that journalist Jesse Singal has been reaching out to families in the area to gather stories, quotes, and personal accounts from trans youth and their families for a new book. Jesse has been listed on the GLAAD Accountability Project as expressing anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and spreading misinformation about the trans experience. QUEERSPACE collective and other LGBTQ+ youth organizations in Minnesota recommend not engaging with Singal or any of his proxies, even for debate or conversation, to avoid providing additional material for his upcoming works.

 

I plan on bringing this up with my doctor at my next blood work visit, but was curious if anyone had experience with this.

I’ve been having issues with feeling kind of crappy about a day before my shot is due. Getting overheated, tired, irritable, etc. Previously when that happened my dose was bumped up a bit, but my dose is already on the upper end of a typical dose so I’m not sure I want to ask to keep bumping it up.

That said, does anyone have experience with dealing with late shot cycle ickyness by doing a 5 or 6 day shot cycle instead of once a week? I’m wondering if a lower dose more often would help reduce the hormonal drop off or just make it happen more often.

I’ve been on gel before but doing it daily is a huge pain and I’d like to avoid going back on it if I can get these damn shots tweaked right.

 
 

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, if there’s a better location please let me know where to direct this.

One of the mods of !gaming@lemmy.world (Stormageddon47) left some disturbing comments here, referring to the simulated rape of a child in VR as “bullying” and insisting multiple times that it should not be investigated by police at all, despite sexual harassment of children obviously being a crime.

They repeatedly downplay the seriousness of what happened to the girl and spread misinformation about the police trying to prosecute it as a rape. While there are media stories referring to it this way, reliable sources are very explicit about the fact rape laws do not cover what happened to this girl.

Just wanted to make sure the admins knew this was going on, thanks for your time.

 

I recently started watching videos on YouTube of a guy (The Trek Planner) who searches Google maps for what looks like ancient structures, then hikes out to them and sometimes flies his drone around them. Lots of very cool footage, and I’d love to see more videos with similar content.

What I like about his videos:

Unique content showing archaeological remains that have little or no other media presence, either through other YouTube channels or documentaries

Genuine excitement for going out and filming things to show people, doesn’t come off as a content mill

Emphasis around being respectful and not touching or harming any ancient remains

What I’d like more of in similar videos:

More advanced archaeological, historical, anthropological, geological, etc knowledge. Not necessarily someone with a degree but at least a knowledgeable amateur

Maybe somewhere outside the southwest? But anywhere is good

Similar but not quite what I’m looking for YouTube channels that I also enjoy:

Stefan Milo

Ancient Americas

Miniminuteman

 

This is on the most recent iPhone version and the most recent Voyager version. My text size is set as large as possible without the accessibility sizes being on (honestly I would go larger, but accessibility sizes are a bit too big). Making the text this big makes the button to select photos pushed off to the left, and the three dots button is pushed off to the right. They will let me interact with them if I tap as far to the left/right as possible, but I didn't realize I was missing UI elements until someone mentioned it.

Sorry if this has already been reported, I tried searching the github issues but I'm not sure I know the right keywords to use. Thanks for all the work you do on this app! 🙏

 

When I try to access the modlog through lemmy.blahaj.zone/modlog I just get taken to a blank page that says 'Server error' and nothing else. Is this happening for anyone else?

 

You might expect the whirring blades of a helicopter to spark concern or annoyance from animals in the vicinity. But for the reptilian residents of a crocodile farm, a low-flying chopper seemed to signal mating season.

"All of the big males got up and roared and bellowed up at the sky, and then after the helicopters left they mated like mad," John Lever, owner of the Koorana Crocodile Farm in Queensland, Australia, told ABC.

 

I’m very averse to going to get haircuts, and typically only get one when my hair length starts getting me misgendered (or it starts to get in my face and drive me crazy). But I just recently got a haircut, the barber wasn’t weird about it and gave me the style I asked for, and now everything feels SO much nicer without hair everywhere!

Please feel free to share what little trans related achievements have made you happy lately 😊
