Hello! I’m Chloé, a nerdy ace transbian :3
This is my Lemmy account that I don’t use super often. However, I am active on the microblogging side of the fedi at @carotte@toot.cat :3
pronouns are she/her
Stop selling weapons to Israel, that would be a good start
Send more humanitarian aid to Palestine
Make it easier for Palestinian refugees to come to Canada
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
holy shit, they invented a White Guy™
according to the same thread, Madeline is 2,13 meters tall holy shit
(that’s 6’12" in freedom units)
even if farm animals were slaughtered in the most humane and painless of ways, the way they’re treated while they’re alive is still horrifyingly atrocious
you’ll have a different tone of voice when the world gets hit with the Cauliflower Flu /s
the thing can read fucking SNES soundtrack files out of the box. i’m sure it could run a marathon if you asked it to
similar boat here: what I’ve noticed is that, on your instance, ‘foreign’ toots will only show the favourites coming from your instance. So, if 3 people from your instance favourited a toot that has 1500 favs total, you will only see 3 next to the star
this isn’t true for boosts, and I don’t know what causes the difference there. Its probably something to do with an incomplete federation (either because of blocks or simply because your server isn’t aware of all the others; I’ve noticed that the difference is much larger now that I’m on a smaller instance with less connections), but I’m not sure
for toots coming from other people on your instance, you will see the full count on both favs and boosts
When I talk about dented head and drools, I’m not referring to this soyjak in particular (which is far from the worst), but many who are commonly used have that, such as this one (obvious CW for ableism)
Sorry for the confusion there!
(to clarify, I don’t think OP had any shitty intentions. but that’s why we should point out this stuff IMO, because it slips through the cracks and even people with good intentions can unknowingly spread shitty ideologies. I’m certainly not free of blame either)
as for the rest… well yea, no piece of media is morally without faults, memes included. but in the case of wojaks, I fell like the faults are high and obvious enough that we should still avoid using them.
But there is an issue with the meme itself. It often associates whiteness (notice how the chad is explicitly a white guy with blonde hair and blue eyes) with being good/right, or physical characteristics associated with ‘stupidity’ (drooling, dented head) with being wrong. The underlying white supremacy & ableism is still there.
And no, we shouldn’t compromise on our values to use popular memes.
Even on their own, the shitty alt-right ideology is still present. Notice how the chad, the guy we’re meant to agree with, is very often (not always, but often) a white, blonde-haired, blue-eyed guy?
Or how the guy with the wrong opinions we’re meant to mock is often a drooling person with a dented head?
The ableism and white supremacy of the right is still perceptible in the meme, even when it’s used to push leftist messages.
and on a more basic level, the idea of bad opinion = ugly, good opinion = beautiful is shitty and flirts with white supremacy (because what’s beautiful is very often dictated by eurocentric beauty standards), but that’s a problem in our societies as a whole, not just with this meme
There’s an ability like that in Pokémon Showdown’s Super Staff Bros mode. It makes you immune to any attacks with complicated names.
very annoying to play against but also very funny concept
not anymore, they became independent again in 2023
Idk, i used KDE 6.0 stable on fedora and it was still a jankfest
simple example: when I setup my distro the first time I didn’t set up a password for the user (i don’t remember if it was for the root user or the base user). to me, it meant that on next boot, I wouldn’t have to enter a password. (I know this is incredibly insecure, I was just testing things out in a safe environment, I figured that I would add a password later)
nope! the account used a default password instead. which I didn’t know, obviously, and had to look up. yes, this is really silly and my fault. but honestly, a good DE should have done something to stop that from happening; if anything, just not letting me not setting a password in the first place
and I’m not getting into the nightmare that was trying to figure out the desktop edit mode… (looks like KDE 6.1 is fixing that, thank god)
say what you will about distros like gnome or pantheon but this sort of stuff just doesn’t happen

If we were to pit every single Pokémon against this thing, would they win?
