I use IMGBB, been using it for my Friendica as it gives convenient cut and paste BB Code which Friendica can parse. I did test Kbin and found it parses the HTML code they offer... Or at least did when I was testing, let's see, does this work?

I quite like Friendica for the purpose, venera.social I believe is one of the founding instances.

DC is a bit of an oddity, it's not a state, so there's no governor to deploy the guard, plus much of their governance has to be approved by Congress, this is part of the reason that there's a push for DC statehood, residents are getting tired of this mess.

Celebrities don't always cost much, you have to remember that those high rates they get paid are optional, there's a base pay for actors, and they can take that rather than their typical high pay if'n they want. Throw in that in a lot of ways voice acting is easier (no costumes, make up, no standing around for a scene to be set up, etc), and it's effectively a quick and easy buck for actors.

The UX, the other is...

...inline images, assuming that still works. I store my images on IMGBB which gives copy and paste code for the images, and this works here but not on Lemmy.

This is also why Tumblr maintains it's ban on porn, Visa and Mastercard exclusively process their own cards, and wield that as a weapon against what they don't like.

I've tried it a couple times, it's neat, lots of features, but that makes it a bit confusing. I've also had trouble finding a stable English speaking general purpose server that's reliable, all the one's I used were down more than they were up. You might want to look at Calkey or whatever they're calling it now, that's an active fork.

@lusterko I've had luck with inline images using code from IMGBB where I store my pics:

Though I will say going back, they seem to have broken, so we'll seen if'n this even works now.
Code:

I use a Schlage model that I'm pretty happy with that is as far as I know compatible with Google Assistant, though I like it because it doesn't require a system like that.

Definitely over stepping. Sure, if'n the lunch was nothing but junk food, I could maybe understand this, but from the sound of it, this is the only treat, and it's not too bad.
