Probably used 'sentinels" instead of canaries, so that people wouldn’t get confused since it’s nature. They don’t want people to think actual canaries would be doing the work.

Congratulations on not being a homophobe,

I’m not seeking congrats about that. Just wondering why you didn’t screencap the entire sidebar.

Really, it is an aggressive victory lap on perceived “liberal tears”.

I never said that. I never implied that. I don’t think that. Those are entirely your words.

As someone with libertarian and conservative idalitions (which are fundamentally in conflict btw)

That’s because, like I said, I don’t vote along party lines.

you should understand how this issue in your post is related to the deregulation of chemical corporations, science denial, and systematic grant pulls.

I know what the article said I read it, then I posted it.

I’m not even a Democrat so really your whole notion of voting your way out of fascism is lost on me.

I’m not even a Republican, so really your whole notion of implying that I voted for fascism is lost on me

Ps: I do honestly value diversity, including that of opinion, which is why I haven’t blocked you or the communities on lemmy.today that have banned me for no reason. Although that doesn’t mean I can’t disagree. And it certainly doesn’t mean I have to be tolerant of threats to me or my community, and neither should you.

I appreciate that. I have never tolerated threats to your or your community. I’m happy to unblock you from my communities (EDIT: unbanned now) and I didn’t even realize you have been banned from them. You may not be aware of just how much hate and trolling I get from people who don’t read the articles and just assume stuff about me without ever having a real conversation.

I’ve been told to kill myself (with very graphic descriptions of how to go about doing that), co-mods have quit Lemmy regarding threats of doxing, my most recent Lemmy stalker said he wanted my jawbone and skull hanging on his wall, one of my fellow mods is trans and she was receiving horrible hateful DM’s because she was helping me mod this comm, and some instances have my name hardcoded into their pre-ban lists.

Plenty of people who suggest that they may not be Democrats have been quickly, and wrongly, accused of being me.

And why does all that happen? Because I post a few articles from Fox News in a conservative comm. I don’t post them to other communities, just my own conservative community. I don’t spread it out to Lemmy. I just keep it in my little conservative community which most block anyway.

But people think that’s worth fucking death threats? What the actual fuck is wrong with people these days? lolol

What part of anything I said has anything to do with party lines? My exact words to you were: “Guess you better hope enough people agree with you when it comes to elections this time.” That’s not an endorsement of any party.

I’ve voted for Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, and Independents. I don’t vote party lines. I look at the issues and candidates and make my own decision. I don’t agree with everything Trump does, and don’t disagree with everything Trump does. I’m not loyal to any party.

If Lemmy values diversity, shouldn’t that include differences of opinion and viewpoint, short of hate speech or illegal behavior?

Your screenshot of my own conservative community sidebar isn’t a “gotcha!" if that’s what you are trying to imply. I wrote it, I know what it says, and I stand by it.

Trying to paint a label on me based on my communities doesn’t work. I have lots of different interests and viewpoints.

Feel free to check out my libertarian community, where there are plenty of posts that are anti-republican, anti-administration, and anti-authority. Or check out my pro-womens sports community. And my ones about UFO’s, and fitness.

As for your screen cap, you missed the top half where I mention that I support LGBTQIA+ rights and argue for equal rights. Is there a particular reason you didn’t screen cap the entire sidebar?

Maybe you were just in a hurry and it was an oversight. So here, let me help:

I didn’t vote for it. I said that you better hope enough people agree with you when it comes to elections this time. I stand by that. You seem to be making a lot of assumptions here.

Guess you better hope enough people agree with you when it comes to elections this time

Change itself is not the problem. The Earth has always changed. What matters is the speed of the change, how much of it we are causing, and whether ecosystems and human societies can adapt without enormous suffering.

Correct. That’s how most should view it. But for some reason, politics and money seem to get in the way. Which is annoying.

This is the name I’ve used since I joined Lemmy. What name are you talking about? Why are you being so vague? Just say what you are trying to say, because I have no idea what you are talking about. Be clear. If you are trying to accuse of me of something, just say it directly.

Now sure what you’re implying. What did I “used” to post that’s different than what I post now? I created this community soon after I started my profile, and I haven’t changed what or how I post whatsoever.

I think Lemmy should be allowed to have different points of view.

For sure! lol I created this name mostly as an experiment to see how many people on Lemmy would judge, hate, or ban me based on a name and an assumption, without ever bothering to look at what I actually post.

Turns out, almost everyone. LMAO.

This is amazing! Love this!

The discovery complicates one of the most attractive ideas in planetary exploration: that material from Europa’s buried ocean might rise through fractures and collect in shallow pockets just beneath the surface. Those reservoirs would give spacecraft a much easier way to investigate the ocean without drilling through miles of ice.

Research led by Rutgers scientist Lujendra Ojha, however, indicates that the journey upward may be nearly impossible under realistic conditions. Water rushing through the ice would lose heat so quickly that the fractures could become clogged with ice before much liquid traveled toward the surface.

Yes. Which is cool, but I’d like to see the full original first one.

Moreno called Fauci a ‘total disgrace’ during an explosive hearing on COVID origins.

The former chief medical advisor invoked the Fifth Amendment to avoid self-incrimination in the opening round. He then continued to do so 111 separate times when interrogated by lawmakers on the committee.

Agreed!

Hmmm…

I don’t know who knows. Any examples of a communist country that you adore?

Is communism bad?

Should be mass produced by government and distributed for free

I already have a fully stocked underground shelter with a year’s supply of food and ammo for two. But I’d still like to have one of these.

I’ll have to consult with the Mrs to see if she’ll let me buy one! She already let me have my Tesla earlier this year.

I really want a Lifepod now!

It’s so common that political scientists call it “widow’s succession.”
