There is a whole religion based on wanting to stop wanting.

The other day I was writing in my notebook and then I opened it later to check, and everything that I wrote was there! If someone could get their hands on my notebook, they could read all my notes!

Also I just tried to comment on a post on lemmy.world and got an error message saying language not allowed.

I have read it here: https://www.washingtonblade.com/2026/01/30/two-chinese-men-detained-over-ai-generated-picture-of-pandas-engaging-in-same-sex-behavior/

at least three similar incidents have occurred in Chengdu recently, all involving netizens posting on social media linking Chengdu with homosexuality, resulting in legal repercussions. This isn’t just about giant pandas. I think the local police’s reaction was somewhat excessive,” said Renn Hao, a Chinese queer activist. “The content was actually praising Chengdu’s inclusivity, and there was no need to punish them with regulations like ‘maliciously spreading false information.’”

“This situation reflects the strict censorship of LGBT related content in the area,” they added. “This censorship makes LGBT-related content increasingly invisible, and people are even more afraid to post or mention it. This not only impacts the LGBTQ+ community in China but also hinders public understanding and awareness of this group.”

more context I’ve read from: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/01/21/china-gay-panda-chengdu/

Wang Xuetang, a lawyer with J. Tongue Law Office in Shenzhen, says the suspects in the “gay pandas” case were penalized not for rumormongering, but for the AI-modified news photo they produced.

“This case has been described as a stigmatization of Chengdu, because many netizens joked that homosexuality is so widespread in the city that even pandas there turned gay.

Officials appear to be trying to erase Chengdu’s unofficial queer capital status, he said.

Wang noted that most of the Chengdu cases were defined as “picking quarrels and provoking trouble,” a vaguely-defined criminal offense that has often been used to control speech and deter dissent.

“There used to be a vibrant gay scene in Chengdu, and LGBTQ people there were highly visible and welcomed,” said Kenneth Cheung, a Hong Kong-based activist who founded the LGBTQ+ rights group Rainbow China. “Now, that culture increasingly faces challenges,” especially following the recent detentions, he said.

Just yesterday I was reading about those two guys arrested in China for using AI to make images of gay pandas having sex… great prospects for all furries and LGBT fans of China (which also has such wonderful scores on feminism). It also works for the people praising the establishment of more dogmatic conservative religious groups in western countries because it’s so progressive to do so, but you can’t mention this on Leopards Ate My Face…

Insult isn’t even a crime :P

edit: Shouldn’t be a crime.
Unpopular Opinion: Adults that can’t handle insults are overgrown children. Most of the time insults are to the detriment of the person insulting anyway.

if you set up a pi-hole you aren’t sending any data to Microsoft because you are using Linux though… unless you are talking about server in which there are devices running Windows…

I get your point, and I was actually kinda playing devil’s advocate here, I really thought I’d be the one getting downvoted lol

You mean a record of collective experience painting a bigger picture about a subject may be more valued than a single anecdotal account?
Ask a white middle class boomer how was growing up in the American 50s and he might say it was a great time based on his experience… a black person might give a different perspective…

I believe more often than not a quick Google search may provide more information than someone you are talking to. I’d take a Google search over 99% of what any of my relatives have to say about any subject :P

As Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, Switchblade Sisters, Sex & Fury, gosh, I love those cheap exploitation movies.

Charlie’s Angels is just a PG version of The Doll Squad, which is a real Tarantino influence.

OP looking for that real FPS thrill

Yes, I agree, this Homer guy completely lacks decorum by seeing some stranger celebrating and trying to interrupt and censor it. Like, how do you just barge into someone’s conversation and try to rule how it has to proceed? Very rude indeed.

yes

Well, there’s no following here, there are just people who create posts way too often in too many communities, so you see them all the time - like cm0002, I also see a lot of Deceptichum and LadyButterfly but not as much as cm0002

this shit is so old, but old fuck should be sucking dick and balls instead of policing how people celebrate anyway

This doesn’t answer who is that Dem presidential candidate who isn’t in Israel’s pocket… perhaps Paperboy Love Prince?

And who was that blue button for?

I made this “radio” for Brazilian punk, hardcore, crust and thrash, you can skip and download songs there https://brpunkplayer.neocities.org/

I felt like there was something missing so I picked some chives from my garden.

The pasta I’m making is an Italian Paganini “trafilata al bronzo”, might not be a big deal for Europeans, but is way better than anything local I have in my third world country.
