I agree with you… Except… where is the line drawn? CP aside, seriously burn those fucks slowly. We can all agree on that I hope. The problem is how it was handled.

Illegal in which country? Where the server is hosted would make the most sense. If it’s hosted in the US then what state? Can we discuss marijuana and which dispensary to buy meds or is it hosted where it’s recreational. It’s still federally illegal. Host this server in Oregon and the drug discussions open up further, not just marijuana. Host the server in Sweden(?) where the piratebay was kept for years… There is no explanation other than we don’t think this should be seen so we block it.

To just say we, as mods, don’t agree with this subject matter so nobody here is allowed to view it isn’t what most people think is how this should be done.

As someone that’s never looked into how hosting Lemmy works… Is it hosted/stored on this instance’s server?

I didn’t look for that community and I may not support it… But I’ll not be staying an instance that wants to censor other instances from its users. Too many other examples of things being censored by lemmy.world in these comments.

Your username suggests you looked very closely.

I’ve lived in this location for over 40 years before I had a run in with one… As a kid we grabbed any reptile/amphibian we saw while playing in the swamps but had never met a saddleback until a few years ago. Crazy little guys, beautiful but angry.

IMO worse than a bee. Add in the fear/anxiety of not knowing what is causing the pain. If you look down and see a stinger your brain calms, as long as you aren’t allergic. The saddleback can just brush against you and you get a feeling of being burnt, best way I can describe it, for an a half hour or so. Skin shows no irritation right away. Kinda scary the first time. I recently brushed up against one for the first time and had to search for what caused it. At first thought it was poison ivy or something but the burning kept getting worse very quickly.

I can’t even imagine what it feels like on your neck.

Remove ads option, not Ultra(subscription). $20 is a bit steep at first glance but… I used the reddit version for years. Gonna be gladly paying it once my Google Rewards account gets a bit closer.

Tobacco pipe making. Buy a predrilled briar block for ~$35. A Dremel with a few bits to quickly get it to shape… Hand sand for 10+ hours. Oil and wax it. I very rarely smoke a pipe, usually only when around others that smoke a pipe. Think I’m on my 9th pipe. I have given most of them away but have a few I’ve kept for myself. Every once in awhile just pick them up to appreciate how nice the wood turned out.
