If you can't handle them at their seedy and annoyingest, you don't deserve them at their deliciousest

i do not agree with him
myself i would rather have
half the happiness and twice
the longevity

but at the same time i wish
there was something i wanted
as badly as he wanted to fry himself

permanently banned for "report abuse" because I kept reporting people calling for genocide in Gaza

I am 90% sure that the people you are talking about were doing no such thing, but were expressing some view which in your mind might as well be affirmatively calling for the deaths of millions, even if, that's not at all what they said. If you're planning to consume mod resources in a futile effort that they punish people who express a view which you're hostile to, until the mods get sick enough of it to permaban you, in all honesty I think it might be better to chalk that up as a lesson learned. People are allowed to talk, even if you don't like it.

Maybe I am wrong and they were for-real "death to Arabs" people who should have been banned and the mods just couldn't see it, but I think the mods are probably pretty anti against explicit violence. I base what I'm saying only on what I've observed on Lemmy in terms of people treating perfectly legitimate views as "pro genocide" and getting real aggressive about it, when the views being expressed are worlds apart from pro genocide, and the community as a whole is pretty unanimously anti genocide.

Be that all as it may:

I installed the app on my device and it tried to use my old credentials, which I attributed to the OS remembering it. I then made the mistake of commenting in r/news

Detecting ban evasion is a rare category which the admins of even networks that generally don't give a shit about bad behavior tend to put some effort into. If you're going to do it, I think you can assume that any browser / any device / any network which you previously accessed Reddit from is more or less "cursed" as far as, they're going to pick up that the fingerprint of the device is the same and maybe ban you again.

I'm not sure what you could honestly do, barring having a virtual environment on your phone for just the Reddit app. I have no idea where the line is in terms of what can show up as a duplicate of the banned device but I know it's pretty comprehensive. IDK. If you always did it from the app from your phone, you could maybe switch to browser-only on your phone and gamble that they won't be able to fingerprint it enough to detect that it's the same device.

Of course, that said, there's no harm in uninstalling and reinstalling the app and trying it out on a new user. But I would be pretty surprised if that worked on the same device no matter what you did; I feel like the device fingerprint based on using the same app is sufficient for them to ban the new account.

I will do my best to be supportive of your free speech rights to say that if it is what you believe

Absolutely incorrect

• S tier: Good raspberries, pomegranates okay sure, good mangoes
• A tier: Good strawberries, good oranges especially the little ones, good blackberries
• B tier: Grapes, average oranges, lemons, good apples, blueberries
• D tier: Bananas, not-good apples, pineapple
• F tier: Not-good blackberries or blueberries

Whoever made the demo tier list in the article gotta stop shopping at American supermarkets and buying the normal fruit; it's all just GMOd to be big and colorful and taste like the craft glue they give to small children that doesn't hurt them if they eat it.

It's actually preferable for Putin for a few different reasons if it's simply a slow death because of unlivable conditions, than to have someone take him out back and shoot him quickly or something like that.

But yes, the system is working 100% as intended; this is a feature.

Of all the strawmen that bear no resemblance to the the real thing people are saying this is a big strawman one

Governments are often made up of more than one person, and the people often have thoughts and priorities that don't completely line up all in a row.

"We are continuing to press them for additional information."

"But why not why not have an independent forensic investigation, which the Palestinians are calling for?"

As Hunter Thompson said, to ask the question is to answer the question.

Fair enough. My point was that 33% of the shuttles that were in service are not around anymore, because they've blown up killing all astronauts on board. 67% is the percent of the in service shuttles that have survived to the present day. But the words I was using were arguably just an incorrect way of phrasing that, so yeah you kind of have a point.

I can revise my statement to, for any given flight there seems to have been a 1.5% chance that the shuttle would malfunction and kill all the astronauts on board even if they did their jobs perfectly (and specifically for reasons of gross mismanagement of the program as opposed to the already-significant risks inherent to space travel), and that's too high for a vehicle which was explicitly being pushed hard as a "we can make these flights routine and do tons of them" solution. Sounds better?

I already explained what I meant by what I said about antivaxxers.

If you're up for talking based on me being the absolute 100% authority on what I am claiming, and what I meant when I said something, then let's rock. That's productive conversation. I'll extend the same courtesy to you. If you're wanting to engage back and forth with me to any extent on either of those topics or say that I didn't really mean or believe something, I actually meant something different that you picked out, then you need to find someone else to talk to.

(And, more broadly, I would say that you should stop doing that as a general rule, if your goal is anything other than creating pointless bickering and wasting both participant's time.)

Trump is the fascism vaccine: He is the figurehead for malevolent forces that have been at work for many many years in the twisty tunnels underneath City America, and are now strong enough to come up onto the regular streets -- but he comes in weakened form. He's enough of a neutered fool to give the system time to learn to recognize the danger, and react accordingly in the future when it comes about for real. If it had been anyone else on January 6th, with competent, prepared execution that any adult who'd spent his career surviving in politics would have done, then all the people in the federal government who'd tried to stand in his way would already be in prison, and US-hosted Lemmy instances would already be required by law to interface with the software that monitored for unpatriotic postings and users. Also Gaza would, I think, be a massive graveyard, a haunting, mostly-empty place that most of the world tried not to think about.

I am 0% joking or exaggerating about any of that. It doesn't mean that Project 2025 is safe by any means, but this is actually the safest possible means and details by which it could come to us, and if we can't deal with this version, then that's on us.
