They don't give a shit about your stolen items, and 9/10 times it's a complete waste to even contact them over "petty theft", regardless of how valuable the item/s are to you.

When I was in college, my apartment got broken into. The cop that came when I called was less than helpful. Some highlights:

• He immediately argued with me that the crowbar marks on the door frame must have been there before.
• I told him about the TV that was stolen and he bragged that he had two TVs that were larger than that.
• He tried to bust me for weed when he saw my hookah. I had to explain to him that it was in fact not a bong and was only used for tobacco.
• He mentioned that if it were him robbing me, he would have stolen the microwave instead.
• As he was leaving, he told me that they wouldn't be able to catch whoever did it, so they weren't going to look.

The Lemmy equivalent of a "subreddit" is called a "community".

Found out this weekend that my uncle owns 40 houses in Indianapolis and complains about how aggressive homeless people are and how we need armed cops to deal with them.

"Could you beat a rat in a fight if you were unarmed?"
"Hmmm... Is the rat armed?"
"Uh...what? No..."
"Ah ok. Then no."

Here's a table of markdown formatting that Lemmy supports. Unfortunately, not every Lemmy client supports all of the formatting, meaning some people may still see the spoiler regardless.

I run but never leave your sight.
You can follow me if you think you're right.
Hold me closed to alter your voice.
You may pick me, but I'm yours without choice.

STAR voting for me, but I'd be thrilled about any of them over the first-past-the-post garbage we have now.

Oh, you're talking about Targ the Ruthless! That dude is a beast!

I'm so burned out on Star Wars and Marvel that Disney would have to pay me to watch that schlock. My only regret is that I cancelled D+ a year ago and I can't stick it to them again over this bs.

Enlighten me: how do you call for a boycott of a company without mentioning that company's name?

What if you want other people to boycott the brand as well?
