there is a lot of weird things about what you’re saying, but for one:

the same amount or more petroleum would be spend on cultivating food for the to-be-slaughtered animals and transporting the meat around.

I’m not a vegan (anymore), but veganism is still the lesser evil here

I think perhaps it would be nice with custom tags.

I would like to block all content of sexual nature (sexual nudity, lewd anime, the like)

it is very subjective what is nsfw and what is not. For some people, making porn is their work, so obviously porn is not nsfw for them.

If we had custom tags, we would have the hassle of having the same thing in a lot of different categories, but I would much prefer that to having only the nsfw option which is just not enough to capture the diversity of content (and badly named).

then I could block all the porn tags (or perhaps block a user driven list of porn tags) and avoid a lot more “porn” than I do now 😅

I do my personal wiki in markdown (with kakoune and kak-wiki), and then I convert to html using pandas :)

converting to html, adds an extra step in order for people to edit the text, but it makes it easy to access and navigate :)

I just checked his YouTube channel and a lot of his videos have alt-right rhetoric or dog-whistles in the title or thumbnail.

he does not strike me as a nice person :/

we should really get rid of the idea of the “friendzone”.

I think this article explains it fine, but to summarize:

it comes from an idea that men (especially ‘nice guys’) deserve sex from women for being in their proximity.

being friends with someone should be a good thing and not just the waiting zone for a relationship.

I think I’ve heard good things about this person :)

aside from your opinions on cursing, mocking people for being fat is not cool.

just like people are born with different hair color, people’s bodies look different. You can’t tell based on somebody’s body type whether they’re living as healthy as they can.

Some people could have illnesses that make them fatter. Some people are just fat and healthy. In all cases, you should not mock people for being fat.

all the people I’ve seen supporting Palestine and being against the genocide have not changed stance

who have you seen change their opinion ?

sad to see that he thinks like that about rape and the whole Epstein thing :(

There is https://peertube.tv/

It is a video sharing platform and part of the fediverse :))

I dream of owning such a cup 😍

I think that might happen more often on mastodon, since if you reply to a thread there, it gets boosted to all your followers.

It might be interesting to add a sorting method to Lemmy, that would bump posts every time a comment is added.

Perhaps something to turn on for each community individually ?

The thumbnail causes a neat rumbling illusion on my screen when scrolling past ^^

I saw the image and I was about to make a comment about the langoliers. Lovely story ^^

I use Tasks too :))

All the visuals in the video seem to be generated by AI.

The video lists no sources, the claims are ridiculous and I couldn’t find anything to support the theory or even the existence of anything mentioned in the video.

The whole video seems bogus and made up.

Letterboxed - an app like bookwyrm, but for movies. I’ve seen other people talk about it and I think some people are working on it, but AFAIK nothing is up atm

the “collective” is just me, my boyfriend and two of our friends :))

we’ve lived together for about 7 years and plan on keeping it going. I don’t know if collective is the right word to describe our living situation but I can’t think of a better word either :)

I like to collect mugs - nothing better than drinking your morning coffee from a crazy mug :))

I collect mugs with my boyfriend (and the rest of my collective) and it is such a nice hobby. I can almost always guess who brought the mug into the house, based on people’s interest.

Yesterday I drank coffe from a Friday the 13th Mug and I know one of my collectivists loves that series :))

the only issue, as with all collections, it takes up so much room in the kitchen 🥲

I’ve worked in shipping for a couple months and I can only say this: People should order way less stuff online or make sure they are using an ethical shipping company (if they even exist).

the industry prays on young people (often minorities) who have trouble getting other jobs. they almost exclusively hire people with short term contracts (because your body can’t take the work for more than a few months). I’ve been part of a union for a long time and I know a lot about work safety. These companies teach people nothing and they can only meet their deadlines if people actively break their backs twisting around, doing unsafe lifts and generally working to fast.

I get that shipping is sometimes necessary, but it can only be as fast and cheap as it is, because poor people pay with their bodies.
