Is there a way that someone can test for this at home? It seems troubling that children had to be poisoned before any action was taken.

Incorrect. I challenge you to scour my post and comment history for any mention of Hamas or anything that would justify you asking such a question. (I’ll save you some time – you won’t find it.)

Otherwise, we’ll just assume you’re deflecting.

The part about EXIF data is true, but they’re very upfront about this, and they have a sticky post informing people about this and instructing them how to remove the EXIF data themselves. My take is that it’s just a limitation of the site design, it’s good that they inform people upfront, and removing EXIF data a useful thing for people to learn how to do regardless.

As far as privacy is concerned, I’d say that yeah – they’re very pro-privacy. You can still connect with people, though. I’ve met some people on raddle who I’ve actually chatted with off site. So I wouldn’t say it’s anything more than the privacy culture here.

The one thing that sometimes turns people away from raddle is that people on the site tend to have very well-read and carefully formed opinions, and they can sometimes come off as being aggressive and confrontative. But even the people who may come across like that at first are actually very empathetic, once you spend more time there and observe how they interact.

I’ll just say this: I’ve personally not seen anything on raddle that would turn me away from using the site, and I’ve been there off and on since leaving reddit in June.

I have no doubt there are official confessions obtained via coercion including threats and possible torture.

I like the 196 on raddle, but I keep forgetting to use raddle

Lol gotta love these deflections and whataboutisms. I always wonder if you lot are deliberately deflecting, or if you’re just incapable of engaging in any meaningful way.

It’s true that I don’t trust the IDF here, just as I wouldn’t trust the SS in WWII. If you think that’s farfetched, then I will hope you come to your senses.

This is also true. Any way you cut it, the IDF are the villains in this story.

They can also force confessions of terrorism! Pretty bold headline that’s parroting IDF propaganda, if you ask me. Wouldn’t say this article belongs in a news community.

it “[fell] far short of the greatness” of Fallout 4 and Skyrim

Hilarious to read this, considering how much trash talk I heard about FO4 soon after its release.

People also spent years talking about how bad ESO is, and when I finally played it … it’s great, just like FO4.

I’ll be interested to see how/if opinions change about Starfield over time. I’ll still wait to play it because I’m a patient gamer, but I’ve come to distrust anyone’s takes about Bethesda games.

Someone else explained this too. It’s still mildly infuriating when you have to use it. Can’t even pull it out without it breaking before there’s enough tissue for the job because of how the dispenser is designed.

“When I was a child, the large skeleton ripped through the fabric of space and devoured my siblings, and I turned out fine!”

Username checks out

(Sorry, I know this is a serious issue, but my brain is fried and I couldn’t resist. To be clear, I fully agree with everything you’ve said here.)

This is in Minnesota. When I was a kid, I begged my parents to drive to see it. They rented a room at some motel in Bemidji and made a weekend of it. The highlight of my trip was seeing the huge Paul Bunyan and Babe statues.

I thought they were so great and it was like they came to life out of a book, but now that I see them again… holy shit lmao

Yeah, I was on that sub as well, occasionally. I respect Bardfinn, the lead mod of AHS, but they used to tell me that accounts were restored on appeal if moderators retaliated by reporting users for “abusing the report button,” but my appeal was never accepted, and it was a clear instance of mod retaliation. I finally shared that experience when I was on my way out of the site for good.

Oh yeah I got IP banned for “abusing the report button” by reporting a literal call for violence against trans people. I had to use a VPN to browse that shitty site. In retrospect, I don’t know why I bothered.

I was having the same problem. Clearing my cache and logging in again seems to have fixed it.

So this was driving me nuts, so I had to look it up. I thought I dreamed it.

Apparently, this continued for centuries, and may have contributed to Beethoven’s illness and death.

I think I actually read about it in a thread here on Lemmy.

I read the article. Is this because lead has a sweet, appealing flavor? I remember reading this was a huge problem at certain times and places.

Mildly hilarious
