The name/s Adolf/Adolphe are still in use in German and French former colonies in Africa, and WW2 wasn’t that big of a deal in a lot of the continent. A lot of them had other shit going on, still do.

The internet and easy-to-access translators are more common now, leading to a further decline in the name, but in Namibia in the 1960’s? Totally understandable someone would hear/see the name Adolf Hitler without context, assume a strong German name would help their kid get by in German-Occupied Namibia, and leave it at that. Looks like it worked.

Edit: Just checked, Lemmy.Today isn’t blocked by any instances.

Last I checked .today was defederated by one instance, don’t know why. I’m open to more info.

The description and the rules are boilerplate, no bigotry or transphobia kind of thing. The admins have been helpful and responsive. I can see why conservatives would join an instance like this, but there’s nothing inherently conservative about it.

When I joined the most-visited local community was conservative, but they’re pretty tame by right wing standards. A couple of the mods posted left-leaning articles to my community, too.

I don’t pay attention to a lot of Lemmy drama unless it crosses my feed, so I could be wrong.

I joined Lemmy.today to see all the instances, they don’t block anyone. I expected chaos, but it’s richer. To be fair, I rarely browse ‘All,’ instead sticking to subscribed coms where the backwards-speaking wanderers from hexbear are more of a feature than a bug.

Now it’s my main account.

The liver. Gets high as fuck without dying (much,) can Terminator 2 regenerate itself — like if you gave someone half your liver (in their body) you’d both end up with whole livers, and it’s the most delicious of the organs.

I, too, have lost myself in the changing currents of the scrotal expanse.

I had a one night stand where the guy warned me he had only one ball. My immediate (in my head) reaction was I would not have noticed.

They shift around on their own and sometimes one or both hide for some reason, and honestly I respect the hell out of such a chaotic organ, but they are purely unreliable. Just imagine going through life thinking testicles are stagnant and neat, two nuts in a skin sack, only to find out half the population has these roving jizz pebbles constantly on the move. Our word for ‘planet’ comes from the greek word for ‘wanderer,’ and so should testicles have been named. They wander the groin as the trepidation of the spheres rolls planets across our skies. Never still.

So I guess they’re okay. He didn’t want me to touch his ball anyway.

Looks like the majority of Jewish organizations consulted on this supported the Nakba exhibit, it was just the squeaky wheel who got the attention.

It’s a bold claim that a museum thought up by a famously Jewish head of a media empire to feature stuff about Jewish people and funded in part by the efforts of his Jewish sister is somehow not about Jewish people.

This is funnier if you know about the museum guides who had to censor their tours for groups who only wanted a tasting menu of human rights. To only learn about the people they think deserve rights and skip the rest, like those damned women and gays.

Just a heads up this story is over two months old. That said, here are some key points:

• The accused, Kasper Lincoln, is officially titled “Barbie Jeep Driver.”
• Kasper Lincoln just wanted to get a slurpee and his license was suspended.
• He was driving on the sidewalk until it ended.
• He was arrested by an unmarked police car. A Ghost Car, if you will.
• The lawyer has, among her certificates, a “Bad Ass Award” and a “DUI Defense” certificate. They’re next to each other.
• Kasper Lincoln did his hand signals and everything.

I’m way oversimplifying here:

Judges can only make decisions within their scope, the extent of the law, and on the evidence before them. They do have some jurisdiction within their court, like holding someone in contempt, but they can’t convict when no charges have been laid.

Cops can be sued civilly, but since we’re talking criminal law the charges would be determined by a crown. The problem is the whole criminal court process usually starts with cops arresting someone and presenting their reports, so good luck finding cops who will rat on a buddy. Or, a crown who wants to risk losing the cooperation of the police. I know one who moved to practice in another province after they went after an extremely corrupt detachment.

The CCLA has done a bunch of work taking up cases to hold cops accountable, but the whole judicial foundation isn’t just cracked, it’s crumbling. Ask any half decent crown, judge, or lawyer in private what they think of the police if you want to get stuck down a depressing rabbit hole.

What argument? You mean the psychological definition of an addiction? That “argument?”

Task failed successfully.

I immediately thought of his chemically formulated chocolate chip cookies.

That’s not addiction, otherwise I’m technically addicted to my painkillers, anti-psychotics and stimulants. As well as air, warmth and food.

An addiction is when someone compulsively seeks out a pleasurable experience despite net negative consequences.

Sending you stimulating vibes in a platonic way.

Yes. I prefer boulder trends.

Beauty is pain. Fashion favors the bold.

1976, chimps crack open the spring runway season with rustic grass earings, embracing eco-design.

1978, Vultures, unlikely contenders in the birdsphere, shock the fashion world by plunging themselves headfirst, literally, into colour.

Then, after four long years of (shocker) decorator crabs dominating the covers, the orcas, just when we thought the monochrome mammals had nothing new to offer, seize our fall lineup with dead salmon helmets. A statement on the cold war? On Vietnam? The rapidly decaying environment? The orcas refused to comment.

Chimps, forgotten but not forgetting, know they need to step up if they’re going to make waves again. Beauty is pain. Fashion favors the bold.

Depends on the thing, how much money I have, and whether I think it’s worth it for the price they’re charging.

Like when I don’t have time to make bread I just steal it from loblaws.
