Ma'am, that sounds like an awfully specific word choice for you to be using there...

Because they are.

The rights of an individual to live must always be held above the desire of a business to control employees.

In both houses of Congress, majorities (232–197 in the House and 57-43 in the Senate) found Trump to be liable for the insurrection:

Bigots commonly insist that trans people use "I identify as" rather than "I am" when the transgender people are giving their gender, because the intention is to deny those people the ability to be seen as their preferred gender and instead give the impression that those people are impostors, implying that "identifying" is more akin to "relating" instead of categorization.

Insisting that an ostensibly autistic person use "self-identified" instead of "self-diagnosed" would have the same effect.

If you want to use a proper word that's not "diagnosed", "self-assessed" would be more accurate.

Deleting lemmy emojis (talk.macstack.net)

I tried to add a bunch of emojis, and none of them worked. When I try to click any of them, it says "Undefined" in the post. Since none of my added emojis have ever worked, I would like to delete them all and try adding them with new shortcodes. How do I do this, and what should be the format of a shortcode(as what I was trying obviously was not accepted)?

Oh, well that's a great argument.

After all, we know that Republicans in power only misuse power if Democrats have used the same power previously.

For all of the people who like their files to be in chronological order.

It's not a precedent. The entire reason Amendment 14 is there is because they needed something broad after the Civil War happened. They needed wording that would apply to all of the people who had been on the other side in the Civil War even without convictions. Applying the same standard to Trump is just treating him like they treated all of the people in the past who were elected officials who took up arms against the country or gave aid and comfort to those who did.

Hi. I got a new instance of Lemmy up on my server, but outgoing emails aren't working with Gmail. I have a paid account with Gmail, and previously have used outgoing mail with other services(like phpbb and Mastodon), and they worked. If you can provide some help, that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Sure. A lot of people in the U.S. are choosing to not have children in the U.S. because the environment within the country is so bad.

Oh, no, such a shame. Wherever will their five users go now?
