- Comment on YSK that americans and europeans don't have the same psychology. 34 minutes ago:
It’s amusing how much blowback you’re getting without even having stated a preference. Are people assuming the mods here or useless or just haven’t seen this or what?
People here are way too worked up about motivations they’ve assumed and won’t bother with seeing proved or disproven.
Meannwhile, if I see a post I think doesn’t fit, I figure the mods should be approving posts rather than play whack-a-mole, realize its not my problem, and move-on. As an American, I’ll go on record; The “American” outlook on the “marketplace of ideas” is stupid, precisely because the substantiation part of the sale is essentially optional to most - you can get by on pandering to niche biases as the need arises.
- Comment on YSK this is Ayatollah Khamenei, the leader of Iran. He always wear a black hat which means he is a holy figure 45 minutes ago:
I think the downvotes are mostly for that last sentence. Comes across a little-bit as you saying “YOU SHOULD respect him”.
- Comment on If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save? 1 week ago:
Forsaken 64 (multiplayer does things with “4th Dimensional” space I’ve never seen elsewhere, else this slot would belong to Descent)
No Man’s Sky (open to others for this slot, but not aware of any that check the same boxes for me)
Minecraft (Factorio mods)
Armored Core (any besides 3)
Starcraft or Dawn of War or Total War … so long as the best of the RTS genre is represented
Wait … no new games ever? Wtf, just kill me. … or rather, why bother rebuilding civilization only to stagnate like so?
My list is tailored towards inspiring a re-launch of the industry. I would rather disappear into Amish society than play the same five video-games forever more.

I could swear Roxy’s face was more distinct from Megumin’s, and what’s with that exaggeratedly sad expression? … but what do I know?
- Comment on Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason 4 weeks ago:
Subs are so bad now that I leave them on with dubs for comedic effect. Helps me rope in family-members to watching with me.
On the other hand, I can no longer trust them enough to just keep watching while others in the room have loud conversations, unless I want to switch to the original audio, which annoys them.
- Comment on Is your biology haunted with your ancestors anxiety 4 weeks ago:
Think the downvotes are mostly title-realated. but also, you need references. There are definitely communities that are a better fit for this screed, no matter how much you may want it to be welcomed here.
- Comment on YSK : The Jewish Yemenite Settlement in Silwan 1 month ago:
Reminds me of Massoud Hayoun’s When We Were Arabs. Jews being welcomed and protected by their Arab neighbors(and family!) in Palestine is one of the many truths that Israel/the West wants everyone to forget.
- Comment on Ender 3 v3 se y axis bearings loose in carrier. 1 month ago:
If the bearing were loose on the shaft, this would be a different conversation entirely.
If adjustment/refinement of the fit in the housing were out of the question, it shouldn’t be made out of plastic, but even in the world of metal-cutting machine tools, adjustment is often neccessary, and if a shim, spacer or set-screw does the job, its what is done.
Meanwhile, my own suggestion was, first, the upgrade kit.
- Comment on what anime is this girl from the meme from? 1 month ago:
The first episode will put you on some of the worst lists. It’s worse than porn, yet better than most anime by far. Utena is a victim, and I think she sticks with it partially because she realizes all of the Magical Girls in her world are victims.
- Comment on what anime is this girl from the meme from? 1 month ago:
It is, but its literally the most NSFW thing I’ve watched in years. 14yo(12yo? I’m not going back to check) nipples, out in the open, almost non-stop, along with any panty-shot you could concieve of.
Top of my list for shows I wish had reigned it in even slightly, or had a censored version on streaming, because as is, I can’t recommend it to friends or family, but its just too damn good of a show/story.
- Comment on Ender 3 v3 se y axis bearings loose in carrier. 1 month ago:
Resin isn’t that cheap either. Then there’s shipping. That said, if shimming works for test-prints, it may work for this. Personally, I can’t believe there’s not a wedge-centering end-cap or set-screws for dialing in the centering of the bearing just-so, but I’m no expert on this printer.
- Comment on Canary Cage 1 month ago:
No skin off my back. Sorry, I honestly wasn’t meaning to call you out personally, beyond maybe, hey, this is how to do this next time.
I may just look into whether I can set this community to ding my notifications for new posts.
- Comment on Canary Cage 1 month ago:
Honestly, I was thinking post-approval by mods would be the best solution, for just that reason. Its why I led with the question about the existance of mods. Obviously too much work if its just the single mod who started the community.

Is there no moderation in this sub? An instance-agnostic link should be the bare minimum, not the exception. !canary_cage@lemmy.world

Epoxy isn’t cheap, unless you have it on-hand already or buy in-bulk. So you can burn ten-or-so-dollars on an epoxy fix that might or might not work as desired, or $40 on an upgrade that should.
That said, are you sure the printer is otherwise in good working order? Have you tried shimming that bearing and running a test print?

- Comment on New pathway engineered into plants lets them suck up more CO₂ - Ars Technica 2 months ago:
Believe it or not, I am right there with you on this. There is little to no way that I can see to do this without leaving most plants facing more competition than they can possibly cope with. Maybe start with islands that already have low plant biodiversity, and try to splice as many of each variety of plant there as possible at once? … but that’s all I’ve got.
Spliced Oceanic Algeas would probably just fill the oceans to the point of killing everything else in them.
- Comment on New pathway engineered into plants lets them suck up more CO₂ - Ars Technica 2 months ago:
Reducing emissions alone may not be enough for the survival of most existing flora and fauna.
The problem is that it will take an extended period of time for nature to pull all of the existing CO2 back out of the atmosphere. We may not survive long enough. The existing plants and whatnot that do it may not survive long enough to recover once its done.

Worth highlighting, Cadsketcher is parametric.
- Comment on Is there no good inexpensive CAD software? 2 months ago:
You can buy add-ons for this to auto-generate standard gear-forms and threads/bolts/holes. It is also parametric.

My favorite vice. Mountain Dew Code Red calms me like nothing, short of a cigarette by a campfire at sunrise while still reeling from Bourbon with friends the night before. Even then, Code Red makes it better.
Mind you, I otherwise don’t smoke, or drink for that matter.
- Comment on cannot edit my post b/c of slur filter? 3 months ago:
I think the servers got an update or something. Lemmy is beautiful, and I’m more happy that its getting updates than I am concerned that an update introduced a bug with an easy-enough work-around.
On the other hand, maybe you and I just accidentally touched the drop-down and happened to create this issue for each of ourselves on the same day. Oh, and I happened to find your post before hitting this issue myself. Stranger things have happened.

Its part of the web-page, next to/under the text-entry box. Normally, it should say "Select language /"
- Comment on cannot edit my post b/c of slur filter? 3 months ago:
I would copy and re-post. Leave a comment about why on the original, then delete the original post. The admins/mods will still be able to see that, so if they get curious about the re-post, they shouldn’t need to contact you in order to figure it out.
Alternately, re-post in another (related) community hosted elsewhere(another instance), then cross-post that to the original community.
