Wouldn’t that mean Lemmy is fucked if it allows US users? No way instances can afford that kind of moderation.

I am now like double sure they have some sort of stake in overbloated AI centric US companies haha.

I feel like it’s a more middle class/poor US thing. They often also keep their toilet cleaning brush out in the open, displayed in a fancy caddy.

Might just be lack of closet space? Perhaps the plumbing is so shoddy it makes sense to keep it out for easy access.

Do you have a multi use one? Some can invert the flanges into itself to become sink plungers.

Everyone seems to have a cup plunger made for sinks next to their toilet instead of a toilet plunger near their toilet.

A toilet plunger has flanges:

I have seen this plunger close to zero times when visiting people and using their bathroom.

Everyone certainly didn’t know this. I got downvoted into oblivion for merely suggesting that this was more about Palestine than China.

How do ads generate enough revenue to sustain themselves?

Right… But do they go to a wildlife rehabilitation sanctuary… Or what?

I actually didn’t realize that Israel is about the size of New Jersey… I always assumed it was bigger.

What happens to the metric ton of sea cucumber?

No, but someone should make an app for it… Probably could make a bit of money.

Open a paper or animal feed factory in residential area and instead of trying to mitigate the smells to the public, amplify them.

That already exists and it’s called every new market on the darkweb. Everytime one goes down its super disruptive because half the things are scams and it takes months of people buying and rating to establish any legitimate vendors.

Then for aggressive stuff, non-compliance would be way more effective. Think simple sabotage manual, a bit of sand really grinds up the gears of fascism.

If they hold tight for a while, it’s going to be wild… I fear international business lords won’t let it happen.

Well we shouldn’t have to lower our standards to the office of US Presidency…

He employs a rapist with a record as one of his employees who would work with the contestants.

Then when he got called out about it he shuffled him into a different part of the company.

I think you need to look at this differently. Look at it in the light of the event itself.

Will you enjoy going to the wedding? Will you enjoy your free time wherever this is before/after the wedding? Can you see yourself regretting not going? Will there be other like minded people to mingle with?

If the answer to those questions are no, then don’t go. But if the answers are yes, just go and enjoy yourself.

Your making this more complicated than it needs to be… you’re not the one marrying your brother.
