Yeah, because no one reads the goddamn community rules never mind follows them, making !asklemmy@lemmy.ml a free-for-all.

a rusty pineapple.

That’s a new Yogi-ism for me, a mashup of “rusty pipe” and “pineapple.”

Nobody seems to recall that this community was created as an r/askreddit clone, so now it’s become a Lemmy support* / catch-all community.

*Which is what !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml is for.

In the future, please note rule #3 of the !asklemmy@lemmy.ml community: “Not regarding using or support for Lemmy.”

The AK-47 is a specific product from the class of assault rifles, whereas “rice cooker” product class, not a specific product of a class.

(not gonna tell her, is that a bad call?)

Is this some vestige of Abrahamic religious guilt? 😂

No, Ohio is appropriately rated, which is why it is no one’s vacation destination.

Big deal, they have a tower just like this in Vegas.

I don’t know where you live, but my offline world is no more or less sarcastic than online.

Is it simply the lowest form of wit

You’re trying to account for taste, but there’s no accounting for taste.

It’s about as good an idea as Hindus have about beef 🤷

If any of religion has an actual good idea it’s perhaps the Jains for being vegetarian/vegan. Animal suffering aside, it’s a great idea for environmental reasons in this Anthropocene epoch.

The rise of the megacorps was in the late 19th century as imperialism, otherwise known as “monopoly capitalism” or the Highest Stage of Capitalism.

The stage we’re in now is a further advancement known as neocolonialism, which began in the mid-20th century. You might say that neoliberalism and the rise of neoclassical economic hegemony are closely related to neocolonialism.

Moralities aside, some find it liberating to stop caring what is & isn’t considered “weird.” Conformity definitely has its advantages, but at least consider the possibility that, for you, it may not be worth the costs. Take it from Al, or DEVO themselves for that matter.

As for morality, I’m not really a fan of it in its conventional senses. Philosophy prof. Hans-Georg Moeller, author of The Moral Fool: A Case for Amorality.

I don’t think this concern is justified in most cases, but I’m not really in position to argue. If this were a common problem, I think I’d have heard about it, but outside of the occasional sensationalist news piece or Hollywood/TV thriller, I haven’t.

I do know an old joke, though: Before visiting a foreign country, it’s important to memorize three phrases in the local language:

1. Where is the restroom?
2. How much is it for one night?
3. Power to the people! I support your revolution!

I don’t know what a “treat monster nature” is. I haven’t traveled much outside the core, so I can’t speak to this first-hand, but my impression is that most of the world is mostly a safe place to visit. There aren’t a lot of places that are going to punish you for renting hotel rooms and eating at restaurants as an American. Most people around the world know how to distinguish between America the empire and a civilian American spending money into the local economy.

I don’t fully understand your question, and I doubt that I’m qualified to answer, because I have virtually every privilege, and I’ve never thought about international travel but from my own easy mode perspective.
