Oh gosh, I hear you on the swimming! I’m a trans guy and my first swim post-top surgery was so much fun. It was way too cold for me to be in that pool and I didn’t give a shit. I hope you have a blast at your body of water of choice!

I like to imagine they were just found in random shoes over the day that people lost/forgot. Someone gets to Vegas and goes ah, fuck, I lost my coke shoe!
First, fuck AI. Second, do a reverse image search if you’re going to claim AI.
Yeah, you’re not saying it. You just think no Mexican Americans, etc should show up with Mexican flags. Oh, also more American flags. What else to make the protest perfect so that no rightoid can say anything bad about it? Better get it all out here so the people can do everything perfectly to your standards.
Talk is cheap and the criticisms of anyone not at the protests are worthless.
Fascinating you could determine from the picture that all of the thousands of people who showed up only care about deportations.
Thankfully the people of LA are’t stupid enough to fall for this bullshit. We see our neighbors with Mexican flags every day, it doesn’t make them belong here any less.
Through all of these LA protest pictures, I see nothing but the flag of a foreign country…
Babe you already did this. Scroll up and follow the links this time.
I don’t see why someone waving the Mexican flag, would be fighting for American democracy…
Do you actually need me to lead you around by the nose and explain to you that American citizens can hold a Mexican flag in protest?
If you care about America, your country, and fighting Fascism, then you’re flying a US flag, and taking that symbol back.
Then go fucking do it instead of being a keyboard warrior criticizing the people actually doing shit. Jealousy’s an ugly color.
How is protesting for their family and neighbors (weird you left that one out, you don’t have to be related to someone kidnapped to protest) over having their Constitutional rights violated not protecting democracy?
Also, touching a Mexican flag doesn’t actually revoke your citizenship or residency, regardless of what Fox News says.
What non-sexytimes related thing are you most excited to do once you recover more?
What’s brain dead is thinking people only have a right to free speech if it fits what you think their optics should be.
Anyone who wouldn’t support the burning of an American flag is an enemy of the US Constitution.
If you weren’t there, what you mean is you haven’t been shown any American flags in the protests.

Anyone who thinks there needs to be more American flags at the protests is welcome to bring them along with themselves. But sitting here criticizing the people actually off their ass and trying to protect democracy and their neighbors is bullshit.
Further, the right is literally never going to see resistance to Trump positively. Anyone who has been on the Fox News drip for the past 20 years is so unhinged that living in California is a crime to them. Asking people whose neighbors and family members have been kidnapped by the federal government to hide their heritage in their protests because it might offend people that already hate them and want them gone is ridiculous. At least if you want to keep those people as allies.
You know that parking deck or whatever they’re all sleeping in smells like farts and piss by now.
The situation might be a little more urgent than who can win a 5 year long lawsuit. That’s like trying to deal with a house fire by filing insurance paperwork. Yeah, it needs to be done, but it’s hardly the only or most pressing thing to do.
Cool and normal! 😬
I’m not sure if this is a Piefed software issue or a Piefed Blahaj federation issue; has anyone had trouble getting communities from slrpnk.net to show up on the page to add a remote community? I’ve been trying to add !birding@slrpnk.net, which as far as I can tell is still up and functioning, but PF Blahaj just gives an error that says “Community not found.”
EDIT: facepalm, I was checking to see if it was up on my Blahaj lemmy account. slrpnk.net itself is down. Dunno how I missed that happening, but in my defense there’s been a little bit going on in LA right now 😅
Imagine it being 2019 and having no fucking clue what this combination of words meant. Absolute bliss.
All the comments from all cross posts on a single page is great. You can also add your own user flair like you could on Reddit, which lemmy doesn’t support. I haven’t messed with it much yet, but the ability to make lists of communities into feeds also seems really useful.
As someone living in LA I’m going fucking insane from people who:
that are crying about how everyone protesting is doing it wrong for whatever dumb shit reason they’ve had filtered down to them from Fox News.
Shut the fuck up! There are exactly two steps to take if you feel this way:
If you can’t do step 2, you can definitely do step 1.
This one fuckin got me. I was like ‘yeah, I believe that unquestioningly.’
If using AI to make ‘art’ (have a machine regurgitate other people’s art, the ones available right now literally can’t exist without other people’s art that it was trained on without permission, you don’t get to just skip this part because it annoys you) makes you an artist, then so does paying someone to make art and telling them how to make it. And walking into a restaurant and ordering something also makes you a chef. Paying to have someone build your house? You better believe that makes you an architect, carpenter, plumber, and electrician.
Not gonna lie, toast would work on me as long as it had butter on it.
