I would also add the subtly that this question:

On the whole, are you very satisfied, fairly satisfied, not very satisfied, or not at all satisfied with the way democracy works in Australia?

Is not “do you want more or less democracy?”. We only nominally have a democracy, we can’t for example fire a government (non violently) that broke all it’s promises. We can’t force certain bills to be presented or not, we can’t directly vote on any issue, our workplaces are almost exclusively dictatorial. Even within the system we have defects like the popular vote to seat count being completely whack because of single member seats in the lower house (very unusual among democracies).

Saying you are dissatisfied could mean you’re an authoritarian dickwad, but so could saying you’re satisfied. People who want more democracy, lots of citizen involvement, and more accurate representation of the people are not against democracy but would also say they’re very unsatisfied. I mean society is getting measureably worse while we careen into a global crisis of apocalyptic proportions, who the fuck things this is working?

Once again you come down on the side of facts with admins behaving as reactionaries over veganism.

Here is a press release for the protest as proof I did not post any actual animal abuse.

https://www.peta.org.au/news/peta-barbecues-a-dog-in-a-sydney-shopping-mall/

It’s a photograph of a PETA protest posted to vegancirclejerk which endorses this sort of protest.

The image specifically has the text “vegan” in it, and the dog is a prop.

Given this instance endorses animal abuse for the purpose of food, what are the grounds for the ban? The vcj admin can remove the post if they feel it goes against the community (it doesn’t), people post bodyparts of animals to this instance all the time.

If footage of vegan protests is against the rules, that should be made explicit.

Anything veganism (positive)

actually if you go to !lemmy.vg you can see my post still up. Not banned from lemmy.vg on their instance.

Positive, however I cannot post the proof.

Apparently! I cannot post the evidence that it was a dbzero admin.

However I can tell you that they

a) did not understand it was vegan content (says in image)

b) admits vegans are right

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I have been informed since the sent the reason via message neither of us can post it here.

Modlog actions. No reason given

I didn’t think admin communications regarding bans were considered personal messages. Where is official admin communication carried out?

But this instance has no rules against posting meat.

[email protected] notably, as the image shows, this is literally a vegan protest.

I just picked it up from a shelter, obviously not pet stock so who cares?

Hope each of you are happy about the dead horses

Extremely cheap for performance and build quality via ex corporate market. Strong linux support and l largely unchanged form factor means parts are also cheap and widely available. Even stuff like trackpad assemblies can often be swapped between styles.

Performance is adequate for normal enthusiast computing. Excessive for common videos + internet but cheap enough to justify.

They’re good /shrug but they’re just a thing. Do what makes you makes you happy, you don’t have to impress anyone it’s just a grid of lights that make you sad in a distracting way.

The clay pot is amazing!

LMAO it is most certainly not, but learning anything is about doing garbage at it until one day you don’t.

Did you learn about purifying the clay online?

Yeah, I watched a youtube video by a guy making pots from clay on his potatoes a few years ago. It’s basically just pouring off the light/water soluble stuff and settling it out.

I recently started taking a wheel pottery class and the instructor mentioned that clay came from my home town. That and how heavily clay my soil is at home got me thinking about if I could do something similar.

Oh cool! I’ve been looking for a class near me as making ceramics seems fun and practical. Wheels def seem more practical than coil building haha but harder to start than “huh I have a lot of dirt left over”. Andy ward has some videos on wet processing (n.b. he does ‘ancient’ style and uses animal products like bone and leather as tools, his wet process videos are innocuous though). You’d need to add a ferment step to remove organics if there are any present.

I don’t know if you’d need to do more purification to get stuff that fires to stoneware. Commercial clay is usually very homogeneous and often has additives for ease of working. Hone processed will have less uniform particle size/composition etc.

Do you have access to a kiln, or will you try and construct your own?

There’s a local pottery club, but this might melt in a proper kiln. I was going to fire it in a charcoal fire to dull red. It won’t be water tight but I’m just having a play really and I have lots of charcoal from blacksmithing. If you just want earthenware building a hot fire will do it, you can actually make some very beautiful stuff with techniques like smudging (incorporating carbon from the fire in the finish).

Yeah that made me cringe a bit.

If you admire people doing a behaviour just do it yourself. We’re all garbage here; going vegan requires no great intelligence, moral fortitude, wealth, or ability.

Literally all you have to do is not buy some stuff. Boom, you’re vegan now. Congrats.

Been sick as a dog, caught something visiting my nibblings. Coughing fits and fatigue like nothing else.

Careful out there, couldn’t get out of bed for a week! Something nasty is going around. BTW, after pholcodeine got pulled because sudden deaths with anaesthesia, if you’re looking for an effective anti tussive that isn’t DXM based (I get terrible nausea) then “rikodeine” is OTC and dihydrocodeine based. Unfortunately because it crosses the BBB it’s sedating like DXM, but more pleasant.

Or you opened pycharm (ಥ﹏ಥ) 5 gigs of RAM is fairly audacious for a single program :/
