The incident in Kansas City genuinely does sound like one just caught itself on fire.

In Kansas City, Police Captain Jacob Becchina said in a statement that an officer first observed smoke coming from a Cybertruck parked in a Tesla parking lot. “The officer used his fire extinguisher, however, KCFD was still needed as he could not put the fire out,” Becchina said. “The fire spread to a second Cybertruck parked next to the original burning one. The circumstances are under investigation, but preliminarily, the fire is being investigated for the potential of being an Arson.”

I looked it up because I was curious and there are atleast two blind mechanics. Can’t speak as to how effective alt text would be in teaching most blind people though, I imagine it’d be way easier to learn hands-on

Exactly. If most people did any research into trans healthcare beyond just parroting the incorrect points they’ve heard in passing there would be a lot less bigotry being normalized.

It’s not other peoples’ job to educate you, if you’re going to take a strong stance on something at least listen to the research that experts have already laid out for you before you do.

Every single comment thread on anything that reaches r/all quickly devolving into the most unfunny and unoriginal jokes and/or references. Regardless of how grim/serious the original post was.

other people have made good suggestions as well but I use Bypass Paywalls Clean as a Firefox add-on and it works great

what anime is the third guy down from?

The Olive Garden waiter never heard the cue to stop so I suffocate on the fine powdery goodness

I think it is just a Voyager thing, on Thunder I see a pink name & cake if a user joined today

I just joined a little while ago, there are blocklists here?

Also if you dont mind me asking, can you switch instances without creating a new account?

I saw someone in a reddit thread about Lemmy earlier complaining that it wasn’t “user friendly” enough because someone posted an infograph on how the Fediverse works. Even though all the infograph was explaining was that you log into one instance and can freely interact with the rest from there…

I’ve always thought the internet should be more decentralized and being able to log in without seeing tons of bots, reposts and propaganda is literally the best aspect of Lemmy for me. This feels like what social media was meant to be. I wish there was an easier way to get people to understand that.

fuck nazism and especially fuck corporations like alphabet inc that force content creators to censor words like Hitler and holocaust because they’re not “advertiser friendly” enough

Already got permabanned for saying he was justified, I like it better here anyway

I love them. Being able to check my calendar events, email and grocery list at a glance is invaluable to me because if they weren’t right there on my homescreen I’d completely forget about them

Reading the responses of the women in the comic you seriously think this situation isnt a metaphor for sexual assault?

In your other thread of replies to me you’re stating that it is but we’re supposed to disagree with them. I’m not sure why you feel the need to defend her so strongly that you’re simultaneously making 2 conflicting arguments and completely ignoring the other behavior I mentioned but I’m not really interested in continuing this discussion with you because I’ve presented the facts and it’s clear you’re personally unwilling to consider that this comic was made in bad faith

I don’t want to spam the comments section by copy and pasting the same message twice, but someone else made a similar point so I’ll link my response

Yes, the comic is satire. The satire is “men getting treated the way female r*pe victims get treated”. Implying that male sexual assault doesn’t happen or that when it does, people actually believe them, when in reality men who are victims of this often just don’t speak up at all because when they are, they’re either not believed, called “gay” for not enjoying it, or it ends up reported with a headline like “female teacher has sex with male student”.

The fact she posted this comic on men’s mental health awareness day and proceeded to engage in arguments with male victims of SA in the comments - who were then banned without a chance to appeal - as well as her past of seeking out her critics to argue with even in other subreddits heavily indicates that this was inflammatory on purpose.

…did you respond to the wrong person or are you just making shit up to be mad at because you don’t have an argument?

Receipts have been posted above. Respectfully, I hope more people realize that when someone tries to paint every single one of their critics as being a misogynistic incel, that its a manipulation tactic. (Even though, yes, reddit is full of those too)

I find it really distasteful that she makes comics “in support” of trans people while denying those born as male can experience sexual assault. It’s just a different, more subtle/socially acceptable form of transphobia.

Here’s a r/SubredditDrama post that covers what was said before mods nuked the comments section

And another with more proof of mods nuking comments

Don’t forget about the comic she made downplaying the seriousness of male r*pe on mens mental health awareness day, and the arguments she participated in under her own post with male victims of SA.
