so I don’t have to connect to it.

I actually thought of this before and besides making sure to maintain crossposting, I think for just image URLs it’s kind of draining of resources (however small but built up over time…) without any “reward” (engagement) with the actual post on their instance

Because it’s part of my .ml cross-posting, I could but doing so would break the crosspost, which some people don’t like already when it happens accidentally

I can edit it if you want me to and break crossposts here going forward

But…what if I like my toast a little soft :c

Bill Dauterive has entered the chat

Diets gross to me, Aspartame just has the metallic taste to me lol

Convenience stores and gas stations usually and maybe Walmart (bleh)

Lol, of course the place that stands to document y’alls crap gets slanderd by the people it’s documenting

Literally authoritarian 101 lmao

Authoritarians

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.

It’s matrix actually, but it’s been brought up before, some of the more prominent tankies all have a collab document that they copy/paste from

Hint: look at Dessalines modlog

or the megathread

Documentation of the admins authoritarianism and censorship

Some highlights from the link:

“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, main .ml admin, head dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, main .ml admin, head dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

Showing support for Ukraine on .ml is worthy of a site ban - dessalines, main .ml admin, head dev https://lemmy.world/post/32775563

Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558

Rightttt, just anti-comminism, nothing to do with the admins and their authoritarian simping lmao

If you’re right, it might be scary good, I’m not a car guy so I couldn’t tell one manufacturers body from another like that.

But it makes sense for me as in everything I expect looks in place and proper. If they’ve finally figured out how to nail those details…

We’re f’d lmao

We all need a little Sheila in us during these dark times

Oh no, a .ml’r accusing something of being “anti communist” when they take a stance against authoritarianism, how shocking lmao

The receipts on .ml

Nah, background details make sense and the interior of the van makes sense

I think at worst it’s just a good ol Photoshop
