Thankfully my mom was one of these. She became anti-vax after I got my first shots; I think she was a bit traumatized by seeing her little baby be so scared and then so sick, but thats just how vaccines work. She believes all the nonsense about heavy metals in the vaccines and 5g radio waves in the needle giving us autism, but she also believes that they do work and that an autistic child is better than a dead child. Therefore, I was a fully vaccinated child and all my shots were on time.
Me neither. I heard lemmy.zip is having some issues, maybe thats what happening
This was about 12 years ago, i think. By "kid" I mean teenager.
I'm just not used to podcasts sticking around for more than four years.
Feels like every presidential election
What cute potatoes! They seem like they want off the chair. Poor babies!
I remember song exploder! I listened to it a lot when I was a kid. I'd love to listen to a podcast like that, but with authors talking about their books and explaining why they made the decisions they made
Gonna second the French Press in the Fridge method. It's the one that works best for me; cleanup is pretty easy, and the only problem is trying to fit it in the fridge without fully depressing the plunger.
When I was a kid, one of my friends wanted to start a minceraft server, so he got his mom to pay some dude to host their server. His mom was shocked when the first autopayment was taken out of their account, accused him of stealing their money, and immediately closed that bank account.
Femboys are so cute and you get there unseen.
I have no idea what that means
And this is why do cold brew. Worst that can happen is that I forget that I have it in the fridge
Saw a post about this at !history@hexbear.net and was a bit confused by exactly how badly the people there were going at each others throats in the comments. Nobody seemed able to agree on what precisely happened in 1971. Suggested explanations included:
If any of you could give some explanations with, like, sources that aren't just 10 pages of graphs with arrows pointing at 1971, that would be pretty great.

/c/196@lemmy.world mods (Moss) are banning people they disagree with
I don't troll. At all. What I do is post various comments encouraging a community to not get angry as hell about a change but to make the best out of it. That's what happened when 196 decided to port over from blahaj.zone to lemmy.world. I made a bunch of fairly long comments that were talking about how people shouldn't be angry and just leaving toxic comments but fueling a better community, whether that be here or elsewhere. Comments went fairly well and all was fine and left up for a while but a couple of days after being posted they were removed along with everything else that I had posted to that community. The mods list the reason in the modlog for my permanent ban as "trolling". There are many things I do, but trolling isn't one of them. Especially when the comment sections are left in a state here showing that I wasn't trolling.
I went through everything that I did with that community and cannot find a singular thing with the exception of a memory.
I had posted a meme a couple of weeks ago. I don't remember exactly what it was but I remember a moderator saying on it an hour or two after posting that it should be marked as NSFW. I disagreed with this assessment. I left a comment in response saying that I disagreed that it should be marked and that I would refuse to mark it as NSFW. However, I also respect that it is their community and their rules so I settled for something different. I didn't add an NSFW tag, I just deleted it wholesale. I didn't want to add a tag to something that I didn't feel was applicable and instead of having to sit with that tag on the post, I just deleted the post entirely.
So this only leaves two options from the mods of 196.
Either they banned me for posting comments that were supportive of the community itself and not directly supportive of them or they banned me for deleting a post.
In either case? The moderators of !196@lemmy.world are no better than reddit moderators who just lash out for their own ego. Blanket bans for disagreements.
And perhaps unsurprisingly and perfectly fitting of every single accusation that has been levied so far against them and their abusive practices, the last moderator to interact with me was @moss@lemmy.world.
I find it fucking hysterical how the mods over there are so vehemently Anti-Trump (and should be given the userbase and content) but act no better than someone in his administration.
Edit: I found the post about it being NSFW after going through Moss' profile but unsurprisingly Moss had to go ahead and suppress my comment there as well. It's remarkable how much of their profile is just whining about being treated unfairly while they're going ahead and treating people unfairly. But of course, Moss (being a redditor) had to go ahead and downvote before the removal of the post. Fragile... jesus.
As for how I feel it should be remedied, Moss should step down or at least be removed as a mod on Lemmy.world. They've done nothing for the community that hasn't been insanely divisive as of late. They seem to be remarkably tonedeaf and just openly abusing their position.
Idk. I was exaggerating, but if memory serves during COVID there was a conspiracy theory that the new 5G towers could interact with heavy metals in the COVID vaccine and do...something? Dad and I still got our boosters.
