If you try to access one of the blocked communities from lemmy.world you'll see it's blocked, dude

lemmy.world rule 1:

No illegal content, including sharing copyrighted material

c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com rule 3:

Don’t request or link to specific pirated titles

So c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com doesn't even break that rule. It's for discussion. Unless you take a very broad reading of not allowing the sharing of resources that could be used to pirate copyrighted material, but that's not an issue anywhere else

Maybe you shouldn’t even have had your account on the largest server to begin with?

Some of us made our accounts on lemmy.world within a week(?) of its creation when it was tiny (June 5 for me). Doesn't stop it from belonging on mildly infuriating

It all depends on context, imo. People should generally leave other people's private property alone. But if it's an ugly cinderblock wall downtown, some kind of drab piece of infrastructure, and the graffiti artist is actually making an effort to make it look good - it can be public art

If you're going to break it down that far, why stop? Your "self" is not your central nervous system, but a portion of it - and not a very large one. It's your consciousness. Most of what your nervous system does is not conscious.

Your self (and mine) are but a small portion of a single organ in a large network of organs and tissues and cells and bacteria. We developed because it was advantageous for our bodies - which predate our consciousness - to have pilots. We are periphery. We are a single part of an ecosystem. And definitely not the center of it

Ew

Thank you for the detailed explanation!

How is this fire related to climate change? Genuine question because I don't understand the connection

If everyone were a gardener no one would need a warrior

He forgot to mention that the theory is that it happened on accident. Thus he fell forward, causing him to misfire

Seriously what are the stories on those? Surely they were submitted by children or something?

I have a huge problem with the Americans and Brits for this, they marginalise the fuck out if our dialect, make fun of it for being unitelligible

I mean I know you're talking about the wider world and not just this thread, but you started the conversation by being disingenuous about Americans and their dialects. It's kind of hard for people to take "I have a legitimate dialect" seriously when you just got done trashing half a continent's worth of dialects

Maybe if we all broach the topic with a little more understanding, you and everyone will feel better about it. For example Appalachian English and Northern Ireland English are both dialects with their own rules of pronunciation and grammar. They're both legitimate. But it's not surprising they'd have trouble understanding each other because they have so little interaction. But with patience and mutual respect it can happen
