This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yup. It's like people who go to Starbucks when they tour Asia. removed, you're on vacation, go see something new.

Imagine using an instance that censors 'bitch'

"Bitch", I assume. Fits the context, and I think it's on lemmy.ml's forbidden word list.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago

What a bitch-ass move.

I’m not sure whether I’m more mad about the fact that they censor the word “bitch” or that they didn’t use [redacted] as the replacement..

I might hang out at the SCP wiki a bit too much

Lemmy has certain words that are hard-censored. Like hard-coded into the actual code base. I think both the r and f slurs are among them.

It's the instance, not Lemmy in general.

For anyone that doesn't want to read through a thread on Lemmy's GitHub, the conclusion there is that three years ago, the instance slur filter was made opt-in and controlled via a config file, rather than hard coded.

Yeah I think someone must have shown me the earlier part of that thread at some point but I hadn't seen the later part where it eventually did get made configurable.

Bitch, let's see

Edit: well, this isn't one of them

Nah, it's definitely valid to get fast food abroad, even if you have it at home. Sometimes they have wildly different things that you can't get at home, or in the case of Jollibee, it's straight up not available at home (unless home is LA). You should probably sample the more wholesome local cuisine too of course, but it's perfectly alright stop at a Burger King in Tokyo to try the new Garlic Hokkaido burger or whatever, if that's your jam. Let people enjoy things.

There's jollibees in most major us cities now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Not... Really. I didn't realize how much they've expanded as they're definitely in more than just LA now, so I was wrong there, but they only have locations in 14 states. There's major cities in way more than 14 states.

fair enough haha, is there an active 07scape community? I only know of one and it's 90% updates shared by the mod, one of the few things I miss from reddit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

No active ones unfortunately. I would say pick one from [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] and start posting
