Democrats need to bide their time on several issues… LGBT issues lie for an entire election cycle
The problem is a lot of damage can be done in one election cycle. Just this year so far? 590 anti-trans bills have been proposed and 85 anti-trans bills have passed in the US: https://translegislation.com
I never stated whether I was pro or con guns, so I don’t need the lecture. I was simply pointing out that you can’t just sit out an election cycle when it comes to human rights
I don’t see how putting human rights on hold will somehow make things work any faster, better or more efficiently. My rights as a human are up for grabs, and somehow thats me “watching things deteriorate from an elevated position”? lol, ok buddy. You’re being unreasonably hostile right now so I’m disengaging. Enjoy your holidays if you celebrate them.
I always want to comment but notifications can be so stressful that on most platforms I usually end up just lurking. Lemmys been pretty decent so far, it reminds a little of early internet messageboards where most people were more into discussing something interesting than trolling or one-uping someone for internet points or ego boosts or whatever weird reasons people are assholes on the internet. It’s probably the least toxic platform I’ve been on since the livejournal days
Don’t listen to them, you do good work friend. I know holidays can be rough and depression makes everything harder. I’m just a pm away if you need a sympathetic ear who gets it
Hmm, I can’t think of any metal but I’m certain I’ve heard some recently. The closest recommendation I can think of is Hocico, but they’re aggrotech-industrial so it’s not really what you want I think
You’re right on the mark, and or anyone who may not know:
Stochastic terrorism refers to political or media figures publicly demonizing a person or group in such a way that it inspires supporters of the figures to commit a violent act against the target of the speech. Unlike incitement to terrorism, this is accomplished by using indirect, vague, or coded language that allows the instigator to plausibly disclaim responsibility for the resulting violence.

HARRISBURG, Pa. - A 41-year-old nurse accused of killing patients with a fatal amount of insulin is now facing additional murder and attempted murder charges for allegedly mistreating 19 other people at five different medical facilities.
On Thursday, Nov. 2, Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry announced that her office charged Heather Pressdee with two counts of first-degree murder, 17 counts of attempted murder, and 19 counts of neglect of a care-dependent person. She was previously charged with two counts of homicide, one count of attempted murder, one count of aggravated assault, three counts of neglect of a care-dependent person, and three counts of reckless endangerment in May.
The May charges stem from alleged crimes that occurred at Quality Life Services in 2022. Pressdee allegedly administered too much insulin to a 55-year-old and 83-year-old man in December 2022, and a 73-year-old man in August 2022. The 55-year-old and 83-year-old patients died as a result, while the 73-year-old man survived but required emergency medical treatment. According to the attorney general’s office, only one of the patients was diabetic.
Further investigation revealed that between 2020 and this year, Pressdee allegedly did the same to additional victims while she worked as a registered nurse for Concordia at Rebecca Residence, Belair Healthcare and Rehabilitation (Guardian), Quality Life Services Chicora, Premier Armstrong Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, and Sunnyview Rehabilitation and Nursing Center. The patients ranged in age from 43 to 104 years old and some were diabetic, while others were not.
The attorney general’s office said Pressdee often “administered the insulin during overnight shifts when staffing was low and the emergencies would not prompt immediate hospitalization.”
In total, Pressdee allegedly killed at least 17 patients and mistreated 22 while they were under her care.
The first-degree murder charges stem from cases where “physical evidence is available to support the cause of death,” and the attempted murder charges are from incidents “where the victims either survived the excessive dosage of insulin, or the cause of death could not be determined,” according to the attorney general’s office.
On Thursday, Nov. 2, the Honorable Maura Palumbi arraigned Pressdee. She remains held in the Butler County Prison without bail.
Henry said in a statement, “The allegations against Ms. Pressdee are disturbing. It is hard to comprehend how a nurse, trusted to care for her patients, could choose to deliberately and systematically harm them.”
How do you block a lemmy account from your community, when they’re on an instance your mod account can’t see??? There’s someone spamming my community from k.bin, but the posts aren’t showing up on sh.itjust.works so I’m not sure how to delete the posts or even block the account. Can someone help please?
I’m the mod, my accounts instance is sh.itjust.works and the community (!oddlyspecificplaylists) is on sh.itjust.works. From sh.itjust.works I blocked the kbin spammers account, you can see it in my modlog. Their posts and block are the most recent listed. I’m not sure about defederation.
The spammer is on kbin, and the posts they are spamming aren’t showing up on sh.itjust.works, but they are showing up on kbin (and possibly other instances?) even after being blocked. They were blocked 5 days ago (from sh.itjust.works), and you can see on kbin somehow they made a post 2 days ago. Here’s the direct link, which for some reason keeps breaking the link so you have to cut n paste the address 🙄.
I’m just not sure how I can get them to stop if they are technically already blocked? And if this all wasn’t confusing enough, on kbin it says my community is moderated by the guy who does kbin (ernst) and not my mod account? I messaged him but I haven’t heard back yet.
Oh ok thank you letting me know this! I was wondering if I was being ignored, but I can wait for when ernst has the time. I put my community on mod post only for now. Not really a solution, but hopefully it holds off the spam? I’m not really tech-savvy so 🤷♂️
I didn’t make this playlist, but I do love the idea of doing other decades so I may make some playlists like this. Maybe a 60s-70s hippie vampire or a 90s vampire next

Spotify has been giving people trouble with links breaking, I wasn’t sure if this could be a workaround or not. Clearing your cache doesn’t always fix it either.
Is he just a greedy idiot, or is this part of some multi-step plan to make sure the internet is filled with disinformation? At this point I think both things are true. Can’t he just run off to Mars already
It’s not my playlist so I cant change it (also rule 2 friends), but when I saw it I assumed the v was replacing a w, as in a bastardized version of wunderbar 🤷
I’m not that surprised, the playlists with Satan in the title tend to be targeted. For instance when I found this one it was called Satanic Rituals & Chill, and when I went to post it a few weeks ago the title was now blank. I think spotifys reporting system automatically does this when it’s flagged, it’s pretty shitty
