it’s like pottery, it rims

What announcement? Your Nitter link doesn’t work

Pretty sure it’s an old businessman thing. “Go for (my name)!” in a cock-sure tone is pretty much how I would expect any old business hot-shot asshole to answer the phone.

Don’t know about ‘battle royal’, but are you talking about Battlebit?

Or in the battle royale genre, there’s TAB:

If by “well maintained grass” you’re talking about a flat, maintained sports field or something of the sort, likely yes. If you mean grass that’s been cut but the ground is otherwise natural with bumps and holes, then you’ll probably have problems.

It does depend on the chair, but most are not built for off-roading. Also will depend on if you’re the pusher or if you’re talking about propelling yourself (as the wheelchair occupant).

But also know that understanding isn’t always going to bring resolution. Sometimes all you come to understand is that the people who raised you are, in actuality, thoroughly racist.

I wish I could find it easier to simply ignore my aging parents’ political views like I do with most acquaintances in the deep red state I live in, but I can’t.

The people who raised me to be kind and emphasize with others now base their worldview in fear and hatred. As far as I’m concerned my parents died sometime around 2016 (or perhaps before then), and there are some kind of racist pod people in their place.

Bullshit that only true bullshitters can spew.

So as soon as fascists take it, it’s gone for good? Fuck that, and fuck fascists. Your attitude sounds a lot like letting them win to me.

Or we could ignore people that don’t understand hyperbole used as a joke.

No. Yes.

Find the non-twatty people in your life and ride out the rest of it.

Then you’d agree that c/politics should allow any political news and discussion from around the world and not just U.S. politics, correct?

Would you then advocate that no one should ever use the words “idiot”, “moron”, or “cretin” ever again? What about “dumb”, or “stupid”?

(edit) - People are fun. They actually believe that no human should ever want to throw insults at another human ever again. Fascinating.

I didn’t quite realize that, figured that when you were viewing another instances’ content it was loading from that instance. I guess that means that Lemmy content across all instances has loads of redundant copies.

Maybe I’m misinterpreting what you’re saying, but lemmy.one has basically no content on it other than the 8 communities that @jonah has created or allowed there. The whole point of that server is to allow people to simply login and then participate in other instances from there.

That is all to say, lemmy.one would be one of the “smaller” instances from a standpoint of content to be indexed by Google.

Correct. Ultimately it’s up to each person how much they want to extend themselves into the Fediverse. You really can’t follow everything everywhere all the time, so you need to pick what you want your feed to consist of.

I’ve subscribed to any redundant tech / IT security related communities no matter how many of them there are, because I always want to stay current on any news that could impact the network environment I manage.

On the other hand, I like seeing some memes, but memes@lemmy.ml will absolutely flood your front page if you subscribe to it, so I stick to a few smaller meme subs like starwarsmemes@lemmy.world, risa@startrek.website, and lotrmemes@midwest.social.

Everyone’s going to say No, and “just subscribe to the most active one”, but if you’re a ‘Fediverse completionist’ and want to ensure that there’s not a single thing you miss anywhere at any time, then the answer is Yes.

Yep. It’s because assholes who cry about “free speech” tend to not understand this - https://xkcd.com/1357

In St. Louis (e- and many other places apparently, didn’t know they were a larger chain) if you want Detroit style pizza, Jet’s is the place.
