  • No comment on your comment, except that it’s quite mild to get a mod’s attention. Having said that, I’ve had lots of comments removed around Lemmy because there are apparently a lot of mods who just want to edit the comment stream to fit their worldview. It’s pretty goddamn pathetic IMO.

    Anything the mods don’t agree with personally is liable to be deleted. It’s making Lemmy look bad with all the censorship.

    For example I posted US gov’t website info about how the poor can get free or reduced cost healthcare in the USA, and a mod removed my comment as “misinformation” because it was their opinion that there is no healthcare in the USA.

    Anybody who is afraid of reading words that they don’t agree with needs to grow up. If you don’t get exposed to opposing viewpoints, then you don’t understand reality.


  • Streaming in general is great. Streaming services are a mixed bag of results, but overall our options are excellent at this point in time. You can have streaming services with no contract, pay for one month and abandon it if you don’t like it. There are also numerous FREE streaming services with lots of great content.

    It’s important to understand the above in the context of how it used to be before Streaming was an option. There was basically only the option to have a cable or satellite TV on contract, or use OTA antenna TV, or watch everything on disc / tape. So yeah I think streaming is great.

    Having said all that, I buy anything I want to keep perpetually on disc. 4k Blu-ray for movies and CDs for music (I bought 3 albums on CD over the last couple weeks). Games don’t fit on discs anymore so I try to get stuff on GOG when it works out.

    Maybe if it swells up so much that the blood passages are permanently stretched out larger? Not the safest way to do that but somebody else can try and see.

    I got a mosquito bite on the tip of my dong while pissing outside as a kid. It did swell up ridiculously for a few days and made urinating difficult. I don’t want to see what a bee sting could do









  • It think it’s debatable about how you define Races, but it’s also quite obvious that biological races exist. There are specific differences in the physical biology that separate the races, and common traits among them that identify them as part of the group. Skin color, hair type, bone structure, genetic predisposition to certain diseases, etc. Physical traits are passed from the parents to the children, and when the parents are of different races we get blending of the characteristics and so on. Some Native Americans even have different kinds of teeth than European-Caucasian descended folks do.

    Basically it’s not something you can choose or change, it’s an immutable biological set of characteristics. I don’t know what “race” the Jews in Israel are exactly but I suspect it depends a lot on the region their ancestors are from. Many of them might even be the same “race” as Palestinians.
