It doesn’t look that good that’s why, only got Xbox games pass this week myself too

Did you purge the bot accounts @tom@feddit.uk ? Can see a material decrease which is actually good

Hope she had a poop knife

Downvotes ok? 🙂

You paying him or something? The guy is volunteering so be respectful

It’s not just you. It is obnoxious

What I don’t get it why are people obsessed with the Titanic, plenty of shipwrecks but why is the Titantic the big one? Is it because it’s so far down or is it because of the ship itself?

Hahaha I was just thinking it was like they used to have with their glass bottles, not sure if they still sell those in the supermarkets. Iv been getting plastic for years now

If they also studied a book that contained racist terms for white people, then it would be fair in that context.

However are there any racial slurs for white people that are as offensive as it is for black people? I don’t honestly think so.

Societies moving on, time to drop off mice and men from the syllabus and educate as to why it was removed in a different classroom setting.

Sounds like I had a crap English teacher then if being taught “half-caste” was meant to frame it as a racist term.

400 instances? Did you mean 400 sublemmys? There’s only 192 instances in total last time I checked

The main complaint is that for people of colour, to be sat in a classroom with their peers whilst the derogatory words are read out loud is highly uncomfortable for them. I totally can understand that and why this is now coming up as more and more of the UK are becoming multicultural.

It should be taught in a classroom yes, but probably not in English literature class and something more like a Modern History of British Culture class, where it can be explained why Of Mice and Men was originally selected for a GCSE book, why it’s no longer acceptable, why the derogatory words are disgraceful and then why it was removed from the syllabus. This gives an all round education on the subject. Not perfect but it’s a start.

When I was in high school I was told half-caste was an acceptable term in the mid 2000s, and I still accidentally used it till a couple years ago because I was never told otherwise. It was only because of a friend who is more social than I am told me it’s no longer acceptable to use to refer to people with mixed racial parents.

If I self hosted my own Lemmy on my home server, just for myself and I posted / uploaded images on it, when another user from another instance views my image, they cache it, would this mean later down the line if I deleted to free up server space, if someone else on that instance was to come across my image after deletion, because it was previously cached, the image would still show?

Wondering if rolling storage is possible eventually, where an archive of posts older than 2 years is performed and data deleted.

What’s been conveniently left out of this article is how long past the legal final termination date she took the pills, she took the tablets at 32-34 weeks, this almost full term! Full term is 40 weeks. She knew what she was doing and purposely lied to Drs and others over it.

How is what this woman did any different from the other woman who is currently on trial for murdering pre-mature babies by air embolisms.
