Oh weird, they’re showing up under the “Chat” option for some reason?

I’m so confused by this post.

So this is a weird one… I’m seeing in the post details that there’s 8 comments on this post, but none are showing as visible to me.

I’m also not seeing anything in the modlog for this post… so where are all the comments?

Did we decide to start fucking shadowbanning on Lemmy or something or is there some other explanation here?

Thank you! So it seems that there might be something to this claim, as at least some toilets in Aussieland are flushing in a “different” direction. Now what needs to be better evaluated is how consistent the direction here in America is in the first place. Personally I assume that there is some kind of convention established in American plumbing as I feel like I’ve never seen a toilet flush a direction contrary to my expectation, but I do concede this could be one of those things where we subconsciously ignore it.

So I’m a little confused here, because yes that article states that the Coriolis effect isn’t responsible for anything as small as a sink or tub drain going either direction, and that it is based on the angle of the water going into the system (obviously, of course), but I don’t see it saying anywhere that toilets don’t flush in reverse in Australia. Is there a difference in the convention between US/UK and Aussie toilet manufacturing that might for whatever reason cause water to enter the bowls at different angles? Do we use the exact same toilets? Frankly that article doesn’t tell me whether Aussie toilets do or do not spin in reverse, just that if they do it is due to plumbing variables rather than the often falsely-claimed Coriolis effect, so it feels sort of like it’s answering an unasked tangent in this context rather than the question at hand.

For extra accuracy you should have made it a repost with tons of engagements of an original post by a different users with barely any engagements

It is impossible to fully understand loss as it happened without being around to witness what an absolute shitbag Buckley had been online for a long time preceding it. A big part of what made loss so ridiculous was it being so sanctimonious from the internet’s most childish shithead.

Well, we’re talking about mass market, supermarket butters in the first place here. Nobody is comparing these to boutique shop butters.

Beyond that, for me personally, I’ve always considered Kerrygold to be a very decent, better than Land O’ Lakes or store brand butter, but I have a preference for either Plugrà or Lurpak in my supermarket-available butter. Finlandia is also very good.

Yes, that is exactly what I meant. Cheers

I never said stop reporting, I said stop acting surprised. I don’t want them to stop talking about it, I just want them to be honest about it and say “Trump lied about this today” instead of “the Trump white house thinks…”

I just want them to call a spade a spade instead of acting like it’s not

We have to stop reporting on Trump lies like they’re shocking.

Yeah dude, the lying liar lied.

Literally every time this dude opens his mouth he is either lying or spewing hate. Sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, so will Trump lie.

Nah, one of the major entitlement epidemics of our time absolutely deserves that level of ire. Keep your fucking dogs at homes or stay at the dog park.

Did Mark Wahlberg hate crime all the bees to death?

It’s definitely not a pipe

Advertisers didn’t change queer people, queer people changed advertisers.

You’re not immune to marketing and conditioning. It’s not a one-way street, it’s two-way.

How can someone have lots of sex without being pro-sex?

I dunno, maybe ask the Catholic Church, or the Mormon Church, or any other famously anti-sex organization that promotes heavy breeding but still uses harmful shame tied to sex as a a means of control?

You’re incorrectly conflating the idea of doing sexual things in general and the idea of doing sexual things in public; most Pride events are less overtly sexual now than they were in the past, but that’s not a reduction to the original goals of Pride.

No, I’m not. You’re conflating being pro-sex with being sexually active.

I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say, if I’m being honest.

I will say though that having sex and being pro-sex are two extremely different things, and the existence of one does not in any way imply the existence of the other.

Let me preface this by stating clearly that I am not a cryptobro, but this feels like one of the legitimate use cases for bitcoin or other crypto here.

Imo using crypto as an investment or maintaining an active wallet is fool’s errand stuff, but as far as actual transactional use, this feels a viable workaround to depower Visa/MC.

Jesus fucking christ one of these things is not the same.

I don’t care if people want to bang fictional anthropomorphized characters. It’s not my thing, but aside from that it has absolutely no bearing on my life and doesn’t present any kind of moral failing. It’s niche, and it’s fetish, and sure it’s a little odd, but it’s harmless.

Even as a non-furry, furries do not deserve to be compared to pedophiles or lolicons.

These are not the same things.

Fantasizing about fucking Tony the Tiger is just in no way comparable to fantasizing about fucking a child without the intellectual or legal capacity for informed enthusiastic consent, and frankly, it’s weird as fuck to try and conflate the two.

I also echo the other commenter in saying that I have no idea what “CECOT” is supposed to mean.

It should be, and yet almost every single community is still enforcing some kind of stupid decorum or civility “standard” which sounds fine in theory, but almost always leads to a similar (albeit less egregious) thing. You still end up with jackasses who know how to play the civility game and are able to say intentionally antagonistic and awful things within the bound of decorum whose comments are allowed to stand while the decent people who rightly tell them to fuck off are getting moderated for “civility.”

So long as we keep pretending decorum and methodology matters more than intent and we keep insisting on civility over decency, we’re just doing the same damn shit.

I’m not calling those who craft and insist on this kind of language left, I am calling the people who accept and use it supposedly part of the left (in vague terms).

You are making my point. My point is that conservativism is charlatans and we becomes their stooges when we play according to their terms, including on the field of language.
