196 communities only ever had one rule - and they are obeying that.

Heck. That sounds… a bit too spicy for me.

For true contactless payment I do neither. I just hover my card / handset near the reader.

Is there something I should know about myself?

I know a number of home-birthed people, including myself, and I could not describe a single parent of theirs as being anti-science. Also this graph is from English hospital admissions so cost/bills would never ever enter the equation.

I think it’s the other way around. UK passed an online “safety” act recently. Imgur don’t want the hassle of having to comply with it. I don’t blame them.

Have you met all of them?

I didn’t even notice I was 196-ing when I commented.

If Ada and the comm are explicitly anti-tankie I’d be neither surprised nor disappointed. Fair enough. I’m happy to browse .ml but really have no problem understanding why other corners of the fediverse / Lemmy avoid them. Not that all .ml uses are Tankies but, yeah. Blahajists have enough shit to deal with just by existing… best of luck to them all. 🫡

Nice to see the word “tankie” used in its proper context; for once.

I swear one of my mates buys books as ornaments…

More terrifying even then if they were competent?

You may want to look up “pantomime dame” and have a read.

I’ve never seen “explanation” spelt with a “k” rather than an “x” but otherwise it seems easy to read.

I don’t mind your style of written English, it’s putting the fun back into phonetic.

Wunderbar.

I forgot that the really bad stuff gets scrubbed even from the modlog…

What tf is wrong with people who’re posting stuff like that…? Oh yes, I remember, they’ve found a place where people are happy and want to destroy it. I’m pretty confident Ada and Blahaj have more than enough to deal with as it is.

Thanks for any contribution you make to modding or letting people know when the bad stuff shows up.

Espadrille?

If you really really really want to know you can go look at blahaj’s mod log - but I warn you that some of the stuff removed can be particularly mean, obscene, illegal etc…

It does… but could be a kagoule / pac-a-mac.

There is a novel that improves the reading experience. I’ve never read it but by all accounts it certainly succeeds as a book; if nothing else.

Ray doesn’t really cuss Lola - he’s just a bit surprised / disappointed that the pretty girl is… not physically a girl. It was probably a bit of an eye opener for a dude that only left home a week before. That’s how I’ve always understood it…

For a guy in 1970 it’s pretty accepting I reckon.

Long and complicated story… which I don’t really want to even touch upon or think about. Suffice it to say that the mods (a mod?) took the original community somewhere else (.world) but all (most) of the users stayed here on Blahaj.

Use whatever community on whatever instance you enjoy the most.
