Your post is all over the place with like 3 different unrelated topics.

The 30k thing is great for you, and maybe a coincidence. (You didn’t make it clear.) But I assure you syncronicities aren’t unique to your faith.

And I have no idea what that has to do with the meeting or the bible verse you referenced.

I don’t know anything about Pokemon canon, but you know LoZ has bomb flowers, yeah? In some games there’s no such thing as a “bomb” that’s distinct from a bomb flower.

Last time I remember getting shit for using it, I was streaming on Twitch and randomly forgot the word “cliff”. Heh.

The viewers (all two of them, lol) responded with "indubitibly"s and the “like a sir” rage faces. Lol.

That was probably… 3 years ago? I’m sure I’ve used it at least a few times since then, but I can’t remember a specific time aside from talking about the aforementioned incident.

I’m the sort of weirdo who uses all kinds of stilted vocabulary in not-terribly-formal situation. Just a few words that I use regularly that I remember getting shit for using:

• Ostensibly
• Indeed
• Escarpment
• Thrice

I do use “chagrin” not infrequently. I can’t think of a time when I’ve used the word “reify”, but it feels like the sort of word I’d use.

The mention of “cold” makes me think you’re thinking they were prepared food of some sort or at least “wet”. These were shelf-stable, individually-wrapped “candies” (I think the note on the gift box even referred to them as “candies”) that came in a larger, plastic bag with art and text printed on it. Like you might think of bags of, say, these. Except they were a dried meat product, not losenges or caramels or whatever. And they weren’t “sweet” the way you think of candy. They tasted like you might imagine something dipped in perfume (and then dried) might taste. One more detail: I remember them being drier than any jerkey I’d ever eaten. They simply didn’t have enough moisture in them to have any heat conductivity to speak of. (Asking if they were cold is like asking if room-temperature Rice Crispies dry and straight from the box are “cold”.)

I don’t remember it being fishy or cube-shaped. If I had to guess the meat, I’d guess beef or pork. And the shape was roughly spherical, but kindof… lumpy? It looked like it had been maybe torn off of a larger chunk of meat and then formed a bit.

Very likely! What I had was formed and individually wrapped in little wrappers like you might expect Werther’s caramels to come in, bu the texture does sound similar to that. Neat!

At my place of work, one project we worked on involved a lot of contractors from a place based in China. (The project was an absolute cluster-fuck all the way from soup to nuts, but that’s a story for another day.) When the project concluded, they sent our office a thank-you gift box of various Chinese snacks.

One of the snacks was a… dried… meat… “candy”… I guess? The taste wasn’t “sweet” so much. It tasted like it had been dipped in perfume. And the texture of the meat was hard to describe. Not chewy like jerky, and it didn’t have that highly-processed Slim Jim sort of texture to it. Maybe it was sortof freeze-dried or something? I also couldn’t identify what animal the meat might have come from. (And I couldn’t read the text on the packaging.)

I’m not sure whether it was just an acquired taste or rather a practical joke by the folks at the Chinese company. Lol.

I upvoted this before I saw what community it was in. Now I wish I could upvote twice.

I don’t exist.

Just turn on a light. They’ll show up presently.

Seriously, though, Lemmy’s search feature is surprisingly good these days. Searching for “moth” and/or “lamp” will probably get you quite a lot of the results. Plus, if you find the usernames of some frequent moth meme posters, you can probably look at their posting history to find more examples.

I’ll try to say this delicately enough to not get banned…

The modlog (which also contains the full text of my post) cites as the reason for the removal of my post “rule 1” which according to the sidebar is “Be civil and nice.”

I think they consider any criticism of the government of Iran to be “incivility” and/or “meanness”.

(Hopefully I’m not misinterpreting the mods here. Mods, please feel free to step in and correct any such misrepresentation.)

I gave you an upvote.

I could see a case for using “working person” instead of “worker.” It’s definitely not the sort of thing that’s agreed to be exploitative language (yet?) though.

What I do for sure bristle at a lot more is referring to people as “resources.” Like, when planning a project, discussing how many “resources” can be “put on the project”. Definitely feels dehumanizing.

Removed by mod

Saying this as nicely as I can, you’re well out of touch with consensus reality in a way that caused unwanted disruption in the technology community. The mods took action (specifically the action of banning you) to maintain a harassment-free environment.

And no, you don’t have any sort of sixth sense about porn addiction. Do you need help?

You were pushing porn addiction propaganda on people who said nothing about being addicted to anything in particular, let alone porn.

You used to be able to say pretty much whatever you wanted on Lemmy.

• I sense an implicit “and not be banned for it” in your statement
• it’s not true
• I doubt it’s been true literally anywhere ever, particularly online
• had it been true here, it wouldn’t have been a good thing

Happy cake day!

Oh shit, is it just the eventual end product of teenage rebelliousness?

Na you were pushing a weird personal agenda and harassing people rather than dropping it.

Also, not everything you don’t like is “turning into Reddit”.
