It was by far the most exciting thing that happened to me all day, if that counts for anything.

It was quite the feeling! I had to go show my wife how awesome it was. I don't think she appreciated it as much as I did.

Dude, for real. We get it. You got a spammy DM from a "girl". Do we really need two or three different communities dedicated to everyone posting the same fucking screenshot over and over?!

("She" hasn't DM'd me yet, but I can assure you that if she ever does, I will not be posting a screenshot of it anywhere. It will be summarily buhleeted and that will be the end of that.)

What is this in freedom units? What about parsecs?

It's never lupus!

I'd guess prolly about the same time Melon became the world's greatest Diablo and PoE player.

Has that always been the case, or did they just start going downhill somewhat recently? I feel like I remember Seagate being the higher end drives back in the day, the next step up from WD. Definitely doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

I think they limit to 2 per transaction (been awhile since I've been to a ballgame), but that definitely wouldn't stop you from handing those to your wife and going to the next stall over and buying two more, or coming back for more after the next inning.

As another commenter said, in baseball they usually stop all alcohol sales after the 7th inning. I'd guess they do similar with other sports. I can see that being enough time to be largely ok to drive (especially by the time you hoof it down to your car and make it out of the parking lot) assuming you only had 2-3 over the course of the whole game. If you'd been dropping a beer per inning, probably less so.

One beer will give you like 0.05%*

Maybe if you shotgun it on an empty stomach or something.

With the weight of the average American, and the abv of the average American Miller Lite, one beer ain't gonna get you anywhere near .05.

We're not gonna make it, are we?

People, I mean.

Psychedelic Anxiety Spiral would make a great band name.

I came across the boldest, most unfiltered military guy there.

Yeah, that ought to do it.

 
 
 

This awesome new plate was my Father's Day gift from my daughter. It's fantastic, and huge, and it'll definitely be serving steaks tonight, and whole-ass briskets in the future. I just wanted to show it off to the dads here. All of a sudden I kinda feel a little sorry for all the dads that don't have their own custom daughter-painted grill plates. Hopefully you get one soon!

I'm glad there's a r/daddit equivalent on the fediverse. That was one of the most recent subs I'd found and joined before spez went crazy, glad some of you boys have migrated over here. Cheers, gents!

Edit: I've been schooled in the comments, this is no longer a thing, they've relented and allowed more control over the censor list. But hey, it's kinda funny still, so, feel free to keep reading if you like...

Original post follows.

Coming here from the Great #RedditMigration. When all of the alternatives were being discussed, one thing I noticed was that Lemmy seems to have one single global slur list that's literally hard-coded into the software. Your only option (as a server admin) is to either enable or disable it, but the words it's going to block are permanent and unchangeable unless you can talk the devs into updating the regex for the next release.

And I checked out some of their GitHub issues, and the devs seem almost militantly defensive of this. Like, they are not entertaining any suggestions at all to make it editable. Their actual solution is, if you don't like it, fork the repo and change it your own damn self, but we're not touching it, go piss up a rope. Don't mind one of the words they don't like? Too bad. English word is perfectly innocuous in your language? Piss off. Want to block the equivalent Djiboutian words? Believe it or not, go to hell.

Seems like such a weird hill to die on. And this is concerning as the lemmyverse is just taking off. This just seems like such an easy and obvious thing to make configurable for all kinds of reasons, and they're just closing down tickets. Not even a "don't have time right now but we'll put it in the backlog and get there soon". Just, nope.

So anyways. I dunno where I'm going with this really. I'm not in a position to really do anything about it. So this is just a rant I guess. But if the main devs of this thing we're all migrating to are this... I dunno, arrogant? Opinionated?... already, then what's gonna happen later when there are actual real issues that need addressed? We're leaving one spezhole and going straight to another?
