Seriously. If these "media pros" are actually concerned, it appears my personal server adheres to higher standards than their industry.

I'm also disabled. We tend to refer to this as the "disability tax". Anything that could potentially be billed to insurance or for which there are no other options is incredibly expensive. If we can't afford it or don't have insurance, we're always welcome to go die under a bridge somewhere. Gotta pay for the owner's yacht.

Testicular torsion. As a teenager, I woke up early in the morning with the worst back and stomach pain I had ever felt in my life. I remember thinking I might be sick, vomiting, then passing out from the pain. My parents found me later that morning because I was delirious and moaning. They took me to the hospital and it was fixed.

Just kidding! My parents are shit bags so they told me I just had the flu and I was being dramatic. After my testicle swelled up to over double the size later that day, they called our family doctor who said I probably had a hydrocele and he'd look at it when he got back from vacation. For the record, mine was textbook testicular torsion, my doctor was as idiotically negligent as my parents.

The pain again became excruciating that evening and I was exhausted from lack of sleep, so I started yelling and demanding my parents take me to the hospital, which they did the next morning. There was TV to be watched, they couldn't bother with taking care of their children. The ER determined my testicle was quite dead. Surgery was scheduled for that evening and I've had one testicle since. Get fucked, mom and dad.

I promise I'm not shilling for any of these companies.

I use the gluten free mix because of Celiac. We doubled the water and cheese and used it as batter in our stuffed waffle maker, filled with soft set scrambled eggs and more cheddar cheese. We used a heaping 1/2 cup of batter each for the top and bottom filling. The batter rises pretty quickly once it hits the cooking surface, so we'd press it back down as we were adding the fillings. It takes about 10 minutes to cook.

The mix comes with a herbed butter mix. After the waffle is cooked, we opened the maker, slathered each side of the waffle in the herbed butter, and closed it up again for about thirty seconds to let it cook in.

It's a perfect 5/7, highly recommended.

Yowza! That's a lot of easily disproven misinformation. You do realize you're on the Internet, right? You can actually look up the things you're claiming and verify they're not true.

I have a disability and want to smack these jerks with my cane.

The wrinkle-faced bat is a frugivore (fruit eater) and is actually classified as a member of the leaf-nosed bats, despite not having a leaf nose. Molecular phylogeny is wild. They have the strongest bite force in relation to body size of all known bats and their short, broad heads are thought to allow them to eat a wider range of fruits.

Males grow a skin flap that partially covers their faces. When not in use for adorable convenience store robberies, males lower their masks to show females they're interested in getting it on. Seriously.

I think people are misinterpreting your comment as "the Nazis originated from leftists" versus what I think you meant, that the Nazis went after leftists first after getting into power.

Because it never was about children, they're just an excuse.

I would argue that Israel is killing civilians so they can move colonists in to replace them. It's been their MO for about 100 years.

They took her comment grossly out of context for effect. The actual quote was...

“Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal."

Yeah, pretty tasteless, but it's not what the article makes it out to be. She's largely getting dragged for openly criticizing Israel's genocide and the media is skewing the situation to make her look worse. Can't have the masses questioning the party line and all.

Ahh, I see you're well versed in the classic conservative tactic of "making things up then being angry about them".

Oh man, this is so beautiful to see. Unity can get fucked.

Yep, but he's rich. I fully expect nothing to happen.

I'm a long time Lemmy lurker and occasional Redditor. Since the Reddit influx, I've watched the frequency of shitty Reddit-type behavior, e.g., combative comments, trolling, and unnecessary rudeness, just sky rocket.

I'm happy to have more content on Lemmy, but I wish the bad actors and assholes would have stayed on Reddit.

Yes, I realize the irony of posting this on a new community that's basically a Reddit transplant.
