I dunno the ins and outs of wiki infighting, but I don’t think one person should have control over whether hundreds of comments get seen or not. Unfortunate if people can quote things that put you in a bad light but unless things are taken out of context maybe just think harder about what you post in the first place.

Deleting a post also removes all comments on it.

This really needs to change. OP shouldn’t have control over the conversations everyone’s having, even if they can remove their portions of it. Even reddit didn’t give OP that power, even if it was removed from the sub page.

FWIW some instances/front ends preserve the comments section, although it ends up being a bit jank. For example, if you load this through lemmy.zip, it shows as an error because OP deleted it. But if you go through old.lemmy.zip you can still see (most of) the comments, although not what the original post was.

Da Bears?

You’re welcome, dipshit. If you ever need help identifying things you find scary or putting a comprehensive argument together you know where to find me.

OK well, the rest of us with good media literacy will keep checking the bad places and let you know what to watch out for. Hurry on over to your safe account now before you get swayed by info you can’t be sure about.

Losing it to… reddit cons? You’re not even on piefed. If you’re so worried about disinfo why don’t you switch instances?

So I want to link to things idiots on reddit r/con are saying to point out a trend in right wing media, and that makes it spreading disinfo?

How so? Do we even have cons on lemmy?

We don’t have to keep giving them the false legitimacy of equal time or attention.

If I want to point something out that a shithole site is promoting, I don’t need admin to put up a baby gate so I can’t talk about it. I don’t know how that relates to legitimizing anything.

Yeah but, know your enemy and all that

I tend to think of dropping the subject in Japanese as somewhat equivalent to using pronouns in English. If we don’t know what the context is in English you need a (named) noun. Without context, saying “She tore up the grass” doesn’t tell you exactly who was doing it. Could be a cow, a driver, nosy neighbor Mildred, etc. But after the speakers agree on context, continuing to use the noun instead of the pronoun sounds awkward pretty quickly.

In Japanese it’s pretty much the same but instead of switching to pronouns they drop the subject entirely. Frustrating for language learners, I can assure you. At least in English the pronoun gives you a hint, even if you’re lacking the full picture.

Indeed. When I last checked into it like 20+ years ago, an average road cost ~200 bucks per foot. Shit’s not cheap

I think some of the fights just started feeling extra stupid. In particular I’m thinking of the multiple smiths in the park and the final one with him in the rain.

If the 3rd is mid at least the 2019 one is comparable

simple carbs from rice, noodles, and high sugar sauces in a lot of takeout-style Chinese food gets digested quickly

I always thought it was because of the high salt content, and possibly how “spicy” Americanized Chinese food tasted to the palates of whichever decade first made that joke (50s?). With a lot of salt and spice you’re drinking way more water than you normally would, causing you to feel full quicker.

Anecdotally when I eat a big bowl of ramen it’s pretty much all simple carbs and it keeps me feeling full for about two meals’ worth.

The US just pretends to be against it due to puritanical traditions. In reality we keep guns legal so people can blow their own brains out when they get fucked by late stage capitalism. Suicide is the majority vs murder when it comes to gun deaths.

You don’t hear bleed used as a transitive verb (with an object) as much anymore with actual blood since they stopped using leeches in medicine, but it’s still commonly used for other situations. You can bleed fluid from a hydraulic line, for example.

I used to teach English in Japan. There was apparently a time long ago when native English teachers were treated very badly in Japan. The companies would pay them a pittance

I dunno when you left but I’m pretty sure wages for English teachers suck these days. Probably not so much black company activity (confiscating passports etc) but in the last 15ish years there have been enough weebs flooding into the country such that companies can pay peanuts.

IIRC it was that anything like ray bans were identical to cheap UV blockers, but there’s a tier at about a hundred bucks (or maybe 150) that use a different method for applying the coating to the lens so that it lasts longer. I think it was in the buy it for life sub bc I get the cheap ones and the lenses don’t last very long for me (as in they get scuffed up despite the fact that I put them back in the case every time I wear them).

I’ll see if I can find the thread when I have time later

I used to use arrows plus zx to strafe in doom. One strafe key felt limited in wolfenstein
