Shhhh. Being forgotten by the masses is a good thing for such a cool area.

Deer hunting season begins in less than two weeks. Depending on exactly where you found it, it could very likely be a poached deer’s discarded guts. This is common in rural areas. And, people tend to hide human bodies a bit better than in a bag on the side of the road.

Removed by mod

In that case I recommend you call law enforcement and learn the hard way. It’s better than the alternative of continuing as you are.

They send violence to those that ask for help. They’ll do no different for you.

What a frivolous use of flying sheep.

If you are unhappy about an instance’s moderation it’s a free fediverse, you can always create a better-moderated one.

I could also call your implied false dichotomy part of the dumbing down of America, then make a new account elsewhere and no longer participate in threads originating from this instance.

So, because removal is too much punishment there’ll be no punishment at all, even now in the second draft of damage control.

They could remove the moderator’s ability to post for a period of six months. But, they’ve not chosen it.

Seems it’s time to go.

For BIFL you want a full metal cage & blades typically marketed to warehouses. A brushless motor will further extend the life. Buy them used.

A more effective way is a ceiling fan. Hunter isn’t a high end brand. But, if without a remote and excessive dust it’ll last at least a couple decades.

Right, like this commentthat got deleted for calling out Russian imperialism.

That’s a great example of exactly what I mean. I enjoyed reading the nuanced perspectives in context in the comments below. I agree with some of the points people made, disagree with others, and now have a better idea of how complex the local situation is in the past decade leading to war.

I learned that the core point in an argument for Russian invasion is that it was the majority will of the local people to defect from Ukraine to the Russian Federation, with or without sovereignty afterwards. And, I learned how to defeat that argument and its related points fairly soundly. Those couple of overly bleeding hearts were respectfully handled by the vast majority.

So, thanks for the link, I guess.

Every ML and hexbear

That’s not been my experience with either. Are comments like the above kids on the internet, bots, or something else? Someone please explain the contrast between my perception and the mainstream perception of this community.

An ML would believe Russia is wrong to invade because it’s an imperialistic land grab. They reject NATO because it’s also a tool of imperialism.

While I don’t spend a lot of time on hexbear, I’ve enough presence to know that advocating an imperialistic land grab (be it by Russia or NATO) or for any authoritarian form of governance (be it “tankie” communism or christo-fascism) will get a user banned quickly.

Inciting the revolution.

I wish he’d take some more LSD. Maybe we’ll get lucky and he’ll turn into a humanitarian.

As soon as those decades old and severely degraded copper lines are replaced in all of those old neighborhoods where fiber is slowest to roll out, DSL can provide a higher cost and subpar service on a deprecated standard. That’s exactly what we need with a surplus of capacity on modern hardware already deployed in the field.

We’ll all have broadband in no time if they’d just listen to you.

I do know that AT&T has a fiber line that runs through my neighborhood, yet I can’t get fiber internet

The local exchange carriers (LECs) typically change from plain olds telephone system (POTS) to fiber at the neighborhood level. Coax carriers also.

Fiber to the neighborhood is already there. It’s not hard to run a line across a neighborhood to connect whatever on either side.

The difficult part is getting from a neighborhood connection to each individual home. It’s a flower pot install on each property, all connected together underground, and it can’t fuck with gas, water, sewer, etc.

We did the same for urban fiber. It’s never materialized, either. And, the USDA has been providing funding and loans for rural broadband for quite awhile.

But, muh’ capitalism!

If it doesn’t work then we’ve killed all these socialists and communist for nothing.

(Do I need a /s here? Is it obvious? Should be obvious.)

My first job in high school I asked what my title was. I was a mail clerk.

The owner of the company, as a joke, had business cards printed up for me that read: Deputy to the Assistant Vice President of Mailroom Operations.

I felt kinda special until he also printed some for his dog and started handing them out to any visitor that pet him.

Fuck. I’m being a self-centered American, again. I’ll do better in the future. Thanks for the help.

It puzzles me why leftist parties don’t all embrace lower taxes for the middle class.

They all do. My best guess as to why you’d say this is that you’re including Democrats.

edit: Or, I could be a self-centered American that didn’t consider others. I’ll do better.

At risk of a strawman…

The shortest path to equality is to greatly reduce taxes on the middle class and increase them on the wealthy.

That’s what’s best for equality and for economic growth. Does this mean Democrats are horribly incompetent? Perhaps it’s that equality and economic growth aren’t their goals.
