You make an excellent point about the fediverse with which I wholeheartedly agree, but the point still stands that OP’s experience on lemmy.world in this particular situation was a result of their own unnecessary aggression towards someone asking a sincere question, not because it’s a “queerphobic shithole.”

Not at all. You were just being a gaping asshole over there.

I’d venture a guess the service wasn’t really down, just overwhelmed by the higher-than-usual activity and timing out for many people.

Probably about as much as you.

a tragedy awaiting the overconfident a fun destination for billionaire excursions!

We’ll let them work out the kinks first, you just gotta know how to sell it.

Evidence that marginalized individuals are just as capable of asshol-ish behavior as the majority.

Guy gets nicked in the ear and suddenly he’s a living martyr. Take it like Teddy, you fucking baby.

Ah, so they’ll be leaving soon! Gotta find those silver linings.

I too enjoy going off my meds for the weekend.

And Dr Ruth. That lady was such a charming little horn dog.

Absolutely! I’m definitely in that camp that thinks the book is (almost) always better than the show/movie - totally agreed there. I try to judge them separately when I can though since there’s a lot on stuff in text that just doesn’t translate well to the screen.

Another great show he’s in is Good Omens. Highly recommend if you haven’t watched it.

He was in Goblet of Fire. Showed up briefly at the beginning and end of the movie, certainly easy to miss. More of a cameo appearance for David Tennant fans.

The ultimate end-goal of a president’s first term is to be elected for a second term, and we Americans have very short attention spans. Stuff like this that seems like it should obviously have been done as soon as someone with the will to change it comes into power is more politically beneficial to do in an election year. It’s a shit system, certainly, but even the (relatively speaking) “good politicians” have to operate within it.

I host a handful of Internet facing sites/applications from my NAS and have had no issues. Just make sure you know how to configure your firewall correctly and you’ll be fine.

It’s not a protection bribe, it’s tithing.

You’ll definitely be converting the masses with that sanctimonious attitude.

We’ve got at least two pride events where I live. There’s “corpo pride” with the parades and booths set up by corporate sponsors. You may get a few local businesses in there, but it’s mostly the flag waving corporations clamoring for cash. That was earlier this month. Next weekend we’ll have “people’s pride” which is funded and organized directly by local people. Tends to be much more fun.

Is this it?
