They've been editing him a lot too, comparing your bottle with the OP photo they removed half his cape and slimmed up his legs... for whatever reason they're trying to reduce complexity and bulk overall. Maybe make him less "larger than life" and associated "toxic masculinity / XTREME" 90s-00s imagery going back to what, ya know, actual wrestlers and pirates and stuff would've looked like (minus the business collar)

Even then, a basic soap like Dr Bronners or your favorite "hand soap" does well for most of your body. People ask my wife how her hair is so amazing, she just washes it every couple days instead of every day and sometimes has some light argan oil or something to reduce frizz. Washing hair (especially long hair) every day damages it no matter what you're doing. The most important thing is to scrub your scalp really good.

But when "real estate investors" buy up all available properties and raise the prices that's just sacred free market competition, right?
Almost like in a totally free market your right to collect profit is balanced by my right to find ways to not spend my money 🤔

Being laughed at for how your body is is one thing, being laughed at for buying a fascist's ChildishCompensationMobile is another. It's a choice to buy Jeff Bezos' $100,000 Dick Mobile and drive it around like you're cool, it's another to... try and exist? As best you can? Corporeally?
Like no I don't need to worry about the feelings of anyone who gives Trump money and allegiance. They made bad choices that materially affect me (how many Twitters can these guys buy up and turn into a KKK Safe Place with this money?) and I can tell them they suck for it. Completely not the same as giving redheads swirlies.
Like, for context I also give distainful looks at poor drivers in BMWs and Benzes: obviously money didn't give them sense. So yes I'll laugh at anyone giving Musk money after knowing his true colors.

If you want a map swiss army knife, OsmAnd is very very good. If you don't, then yeah it's way too complex for what should be basic tasks. And developers refuse to do stuff like allow US-style address order search (requiring reverse order only)

I absolutely hate this situation and I was going to write a whole thing about how we wouldn't do the same thing if an upstanding husband and father was convicted of murder, except oh yes people literally actually do do the same thing. You'll literally have letters written like "he made a mistake but he has kids at home please go easy on him" as if actual murder isn't a pretty big disqualifier.
I guess we humans have a blind spot to the most common sins versus the mythical perfect criminal who spits on babies and hails satan...

Yeah but I've interacted with it a lot and most of my interaction is commands sent through one of their programs. Versus scripts like init.d whose contents I can easily inspect and modify. Init scripts aren't config files, they're directly executable code.

All contracts are negotiable, you did nothing wrong other than not having a conversation before wasting paper, the main issue is that for most people the negotiation is "if you want to work here you have to agree to all this."
But yeah reasonable accommodation and mutual understandings, etc, should be written down and signed. I challenged the non-disclosure agreement at my job once because it literally said I couldn't talk about my work with ANYONE, and a plain reading of it would mean I'd be unable to even talk to my boss about what I was supposed to be doing. It was poorly written and probably unenforceable. My boss didn't like that so I signed it anyway and then focused on finding work elsewhere (he was a dick and his company got raided by the FBI a few years later)

Mastodon is what you make it and it can be hard to find the community you want. I promise there's plenty of Japanese art (maybe try pixelfed, friendica, diaspora?) and you can/should unfollow people who just talk about stuff you don't care about.

Locus uses Openstreetmap data by default, what parts of CyclOSM and OSMAnd do you like? If you want to plan and import a route you probably want to export and then import a GPX file.
To add the CyclOSM map tiles as a layer, you do need to follow the instructions here

It used to be that everything in Linux was a file, ideally a text file, so if you could find the right file you could access or change what you wanted. Systemd is a big program that manages a bunch of stuff and creates unique commands within its programs for doing so, which moves away from that principle and turns system management into what feels a bit more microsofty (like the registry editor program vs editing config files, etc) and a lot of people don't like that. But to its credit, it does solve a few problems with cobbling together a modern system that doesn't suck.

That photo is from a film about neanderthals. The phrase "unga bunga" has its earliest known usage in a Bugs Bunny short mocking Aborigines, but it's a generic enough phrase that I'm not sure you can write off the entire phrase as racist against Aborigines: any nonsense word could be used in its place and I'm not sure anyone creating or sharing the meme has actually watched that Bugs Bunny clip from 1950. It's just a nonsense phrase used to indicate low intelligence or nonsense. Given that the photo is of a neanderthal, I think anyone seeing the meme will understand that it's supposed to mean "a caveman would be confused by this" and not about any particular group of modern or indigenous humans. Most usages of the meme imply that the poster themselves is the confused one, so I don't think a racist would find it very funny to post something like that.

Given that the words "unga" and "bunga" have existed in print since at least 1700 AD, I'm not sure we can point to that one Bugs cartoon as the definitive and only definition of that particular nonsense phrase. https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=unga%2C+bunga&year_start=1500&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3

Where does blahaj say they have no quarter for hexbear users (I see lemmygrad users, but not hexbear) and how is being okay with trans people but personally preferring boobs over penises "chaser" behavior? Why is screenshotting relevant DMs between admins defed-worthy? Is removing heated political conversations ableist? (I see the "X-tard" part of the screenshot, but 80% of the screenshot looks like a communist getting mad and borderline ad hominem, beyond any point about using appropriate language.)
I'm a leftist and all for the Fediverse being able to choose who to federate with, but often the receipts posted by Fedi admins seem incredibly weak. Absolutely protect marginalized people with your full strength and might, but it seems like the people most directly hurt here are the hexbear admin themself. But I don't know, I'm just a random nobody, all I can see are the receipts the admin shows me 🤷

I'm saying if you go all the way back to who looked at who wrong in the lunch line in 1963, you can try to justify anyone invading anyone else's homes with tanks and missiles, but that doesn't make it an actual valid justification. Generally the party that "starts a war" is the one that rolls their tanks first.

But Trump himself hasn't done too much awful stuff: it's his insane followers who have killed people and tried to overthrow the government, he just rides those waves. Could you imagine what DeSantis could do to rile up actual fascism if America executed Trump for treason? Never givea heavily armed fascist 40% of a country a martyr.

Maybe that's why they haven't cracked down on him. Justice is about accountability and preventing future harm, it's not supposed to be purely punitive or retaliatory, and if he exiled himself and was convicted in absentia that would take care of a lot of issues vs the hazard of him being a "political prisoner" for years on end.
Many coup and counter-coup leaders in history end up in exile as a bargain: don't try to retake the throne and bring more pain to our people and we won't seek vengeance.

And that's not really "de" it's just stopping where you're comfortable at. Which is exactly what everyone should be doing anyway. "De" implies feeling like you completely made a mistake and want to undo what was done, simply stopping hormones doesn't necessarily accomplish that and non-binary is a totally valid identity

An arrest warrant has been issued for a McNary High School counselor and tennis coach facing charges of sexually abusing a female minor in Polk County. Todd Anthony Bobeda, 46, of Dallas, is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday on six misdemeanor charges, according to documents filed in Polk County Circuit Court. Bobeda has worked for Salem-Keizer Public Schools since 2004, at both McNary and South Salem high schools. He has been on paid leave since Aug. 5, 2021, district spokesman Aaron Harada said. District officials declined to comment further.
Matthew Bergman, founding attorney of the Social Media Victims Law Center, said in a statement that Gendron “was motivated to commit his heinous crime by racist, antisemitic, and white supremacist propaganda fed to him by social media companies.” “These posts led him down a rabbit hole of increasingly radical sites, where he was indoctrinated in white supremacist replacement theory and violent accelerationism,” Bergman added. “This horrible crime was neither an accident nor coincidence, but rather the foreseeable result of social media companies’ intentional decision to maximize user engagement over public safety.”
> One transgender woman, Sheena, left Florida to move to Minnesota. Florida has recently passed extremely harsh legislation targeting the transgender community, and Sheena cited this legislation in her decision to move with her partner, stating that she “had to leave Florida within one month [of the transgender medical ban on adults] to avoid having my care halted.”
