Roddy Piper led sci-fi... Sci-fighters isn't the movie that comes to mind ;)

No, were just apparently on very different wavelengths here (I'm totally fine with this personally, no animosity intended at all, I like discourse and you don't seem like you're being a dick about it, so we're on friendly terms here from my perspective)
Do you not think that government determination of what is or is not acceptable on "social media" (quotes because generalizing) is eerily similar to thoughtcrime? And an orwellian policy? Making a 1984 reference in its defense a little ironic?
I realize I discounted the bulk of your comment and all the "logical fallacy" buzz phrases you threw in, but I generally consider that pedantry and responding to it would bring in bad vibes on my side, so I skipped it, sorry. I can engage it, but I won't have anything to say on it worth reading, it'll just be old guy bullshit....
How you gonna reference 1984 while actively defending an orwellian policy?
Sounds an awful lot like sticking your head in the sand.
"Social media" is going to be whatever they decide they want government oversight on... Not being part of the introductory offer isnt a very good reason to accept it in my opinion.
They'll come for your forum eventually...
Ok, well it was intended to be an opinion, so your assertion that I'm incorrect is incorrect because its my opinion, but that aside, which part?
I reiterate that question because if your opinion is in direct opposition to mine, it is, in my opinion, the one I would most like to hear. I'm a moderate/centrist/libertarian(non-party) and I'd unironically and unsarcastically love to hear your opinion on it. Unless you're just being a pedant, then I'll listen and I respect your right to posit any pedantic objections, but I won't really care much :)
I vape in the shower every morning. I've also dropped it a bajillion times, including dropping it while on a motorcycle doing 60mph or so. Still works just fine :)
You kinda can't directly target a guy carrying groceries with indirect fire like that...
Not to say IDF is or isn't being indiscriminate or anything, and not to say dude carrying groceries didn't get completely and entirely shafted on the deal, just saying dude carrying groceries probably wasn't the specific target and that title is questionable.
content that incites violence or hate speech from social media.
“They need to expeditiously remove content they are aware of if it is illegal.”
If a social media platform does not comply with the new EU law it can be sanctioned with a hefty fine
This essentially adds up to government proctorship of any "public forum" on the internet, including here... So if I randomly throw an "all lives matter" right here mid-comment, which while at face value is a ridiculously benign thing to say, can be and almost always is considered to be hate speech, lemmy is entirely obligated to immediately remove my comment or face heavy sanctions from the EU.
It's an extreme caricature of an example that I assume won't go anywhere, but the point is that it could, and the deciding factor on that isn't anyone here, the deciding factor is a bunch of rando EU officials... If some Karen in Wales in the right position decides she doesn't like my comment, she could initiate a "hefty" fine against lemmy admins.
It's an absurd concept, and I don't say that in the context of tuker Carlson (who I simply don't give two shits about in any context), I say that in the context of us, as a "social media" community. We are subject to this proctorship, this censorship...
"This isn't about raising revenue it's about solving the problem"
The entitled gentrificators likely won't give two shits about your fines lol. Speed cameras would be a viable option to raise revenue, but probably won't do much to deter people with city money who move out to the sticks from enjoying the shit out of a lack of traffic..
The sort of fines that are appropriate for traditional rural dwellers won't dissuade urbanites.
How is this a property managers concern?
Complaints like this need to go to a court of law and get prosecuted by the law, not arbitrated by an apartment complex manager... For one, they aren't even remotely qualified to adjudicate a damned thing, and for another, they have exactly zero authority to implement anything punitive or legally binding.
Take this shit to court, get a restraining order, and have the court mandate that the shitbird can't live in the same complex as the victims. That's the right answer. Expecting an apartment manager to adjudicate and implement punitive measures for this or anything else is absurd... Landlords don't need this sort of authority and I can't imagine why anyone would ever want them to have it. They have quite enough power already...
Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to deny a Jan. 6 rioter's request to delay his sentencing, arguing that the defendant may be seeking to remain incarcerated.
That is an absurd argument. Got a very "don't throw me I the briar patch" vibe to it, like he's playing on the political aspect to get thrown out of jail...
White rot fungus, use very diluted bleach (like 5%, a cup of bleach in a gallon of water.) or vinegar (either might alter the wood finish though...), wrap the arm of the chair in paper towels and keep them damp with it for like 30 minutes or so to let it soak into the substrate of the mold inside the wood, and it should just come off with a brush.
Don't let it go everywhere when brushing it off because the more you spread the spores, the more mold you get.
A steamer will likely make it grow more. It'll look like it's working but it'll grow back worse.
