Yeah mine’s pretty extensive as well. Not so much key words, but definitely communities. Just one instance though.

I haven’t run into those - might not be federated with solarpunk. Definitely sound like good candidates for the chopping block though.

Those are communities, and yeah those were quick to be blocked for me as well. I’m talking about entire instances, which to my knowledge there aren’t any yiff ones - so far .ml is the only one that’s been so consistently bad that it’s actually worth throwing any trace of the baby out with the bath water.

Blocking an entire instance seemed extreme at first, but with the level of crazy in .ml I finally just ripped off that bandaid and did it. It remains the only one.

The fediverse has been a much better experience ever since!

Unrelated PSA, be careful not to let your car’s tires near an ignition source or anything flammable that could stick to them, like glass bottles containing gasoline (side note, cloth rags make a terrible cap for those types of bottles - the liquid will wick right through them!). Once a tire starts burning, it’s nearly impossible to put out, and could spread to other tires or areas like the interior.

If your tire does start burning, don’t film it - the battery in your phone could be especially dangerous exposed to high heat. Best if your phone isn’t anywhere near it.

Stay safe folks!

Is there anything stopping me from uploading an ID for Shrek or something? I foresee an explosion of popularity of fake IDs.

The developer made this change from a personal laptop at their local public library.

Shhhhhh.

We’ll see. Gen Z males showed up in force to vote for Trump in the 2024 election. Some of the younger ones are alright, but others are doing the whole Hitler Youth thing. Overall I couldn’t tell you if they’re any more or less shitty than any other generation, but their voting record isn’t off to a great start.

Never eat meat that looks like an oil slick

Beef and probably other red meats can get an oil-slick appearance pretty quickly from certain packaging. My very first job was grocery, part of which in the meat dept. This was always something that struck as odd: we’d get fresh (like bright red, truly fresh beef) that I’d personally cut and load it into those foam trays and plastic-wrap them. Come back the next day, and the trays I assembled would have this weird chromatic glisten like an oil slick, like they were starting to rot despite being on the shelf (refrigerated) for a single night. Dude in charge of the meat dept said it was something to do with it being sealed off from oxygen - it’d go away when cooked, and is totally fine to eat. (this could be total bullshit - but taking his word at face value. Grain of salt)

Actual rot has a similar chromatic glisten, but kinda permeates deeper into the tissue. When in doubt, the smell test will tell you everything you need to know.

Edit - getting downvotes, so just to clarify: I’m talking about mostly normal looking meat, but with that kind of multi-colored oily looking sheen. In NO WAY am I defending that strip of fucking road tar on the tray in OP’s photo.

…I mean, we’re still stuck with a king, sooo…

Shouldn’t there be two guys behind Mitch’s corpse, too?

“…oh, the order was for morphine? I misread it as a 1L IV bolus of bleach. My bad, won’t happen again.”

An acceptable outcome nonetheless.

The cure is the same regardless of the name of the Nazi.

The cure is the same for that disease, too. Preserving one Nazi from fear of the next is not the approach we need. Kill enough of them and they’ll eventually get the message.

“I would like to hear how you would explain to my children what you’re supposed to be.”

“I’m dressed up as the body part our president used to rape other children just like you!”

Common mistake. That’ll be, uh… this many dollars!

Looks like they’re interchangeable. In a clinical setting I’ve only ever used or heard it called a pannus. We even stock “pannus retractors” (basically a sticker with Velcro on the back - sticker part slaps onto the pannus, whole thing gets pushed wherever you need it, then Velcro straps connect to that to hold it on place).

This might be a regional thing, too - chips vs fries kind of situation. Not sure where you’re posting from; I’m in that weird unstable area with all the guns that some orange neanderthal has been busy raping for the last couple of years.

Quick search shows a lot of residential and commercial options - a legit scrub sink would probably be overkill, albeit novel. Just bleach the hell out of it if you go the scrub route - those things nasty.

Pannus? I’m talking about the ‘apron’ of abdominal tissue that hangs in front of morbidly obese people. Under those things there’s often a lot of skin breakdown and infection - and in one of my patients, maggot infestation - because it becomes a progressively harder place to keep clean as they pack on more weight, then come to the ER once it looks like something from a zombie movie.

Side note for my larger friends reading this: don’t neglect those nooks and crannies when performing hygiene! Dry it thoroughly, and keep it dry with powder or by keeping a layer of fabric in between areas with a fold so it’s not skin-on-skin. Often those first stages of an infection aren’t painful or anything, so by the time it’s actually bugging you, it’s BAD! Cleaning it can be tricky if your reach is limited, but you can get creative with it - one of my patients would bring a clean towel into the shower, soak it with soapy water, and kinda ‘floss’ into those folds. Dude was pushing 500 lbs, but never had skin issues. Lots of other issues, but he had hygiene down to a science.
