  • You should read the Lemmy Code of Conduct, which I am not bothering linking to because you should have already read it. The answer to your question is there. You can be banned, but if a mod bans you, there’s a time limit on the ban. Mods can, however, ban you for a very long time. Using that slur on Lemmy would probably inspire most mods to delete the comment or post you used it in and not much more, unless you come back and repeat the offense. I’d also like to ask you if you have the intelligence to find and read the Lemmy Code of Conduct for yourself. It’s quite clear on this. Also, I would also like all people who take the time to read my comment to know this: Lemmy is not a magical alternative to Reddit. People on here insult each other in comments and it’s sad. I’d like to know why people can’t calmly discuss any topic. People on the internet use slurs for topics of conversation as diverse (and apparently innocuous) as cross stitch and baking blueberry muffins. Why? Anonymity. Why are people not holding themselves up to better standards when they are anonymous? These people could be working in the cubicle (or dungeon) next to yours, every day, nine to five, and you’d never know what kind of real person they are and the attitudes they keep to themselves only to unleash said attitudes with anonymous abandon on the internet. This guy or woman could be your cousin, husband, wife, grandpa, grandma… It blows the mind.


  • I remember it was somewhat available in the late 1970s and early 1980s where I grew up in New England. Its availability was sporadic but my mom bought some if she saw it. I’ve eaten it. Not my favorite thing. There are other countries where it is not marketed, either, for example where I live now, in Spain. Lamb that is younger than what we can buy in the USA is a tradition. At Christmas it’s popular to roast a whole suckling lamb and there are restaurants that specialize in serving it. It’s about the only sheep-related meat you’ll find here. Not a gram of mutton to be found anywhere. There are plenty of sheep, of course. I think here when sheep die or are slaughtered they wind up being turned into pet food or something.


  • Xenotilt. I can’t stop grinding the mother. Check it out: Just built a gaming PC with a graphics card that’s got me covered well into the future, and all I want to do is play Xenotilt, which is a game with graphics requirements that are from a decade in the past, but since I am really irritated because I got over 900,000,000 points and just short of a Steam achievement called “Bilionaires’ Club” I am just smacking pinballs away on this game. On the previous game from this developer, called “Demon’s Tilt,” I got the achievement. I’m grinding the hell out of this game, which is actually still in pre-release phase, because I want the same damn thing on this pinball game on pre-release. Here I wanted to play Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition using my new graphics card that exceeds requirements at this point. Maybe tomorrow, plus some shopping for new games with outrageous graphics requirements. Today, Xeno fucking Tilt. I want my billion points. Got my 921,200,400 points or whatever. So ready to stick it to this pinball game I’m going to grind it to the ground so far it ain’t ever seeing alpha version.



  • Sure. I’m on all the drugs. Do you feel better for INSULTING me? Where’s the moderator of this community, by the way? Out to lunch? Feeling like not dealing with issues like this, that violate the Code of Conduct or something? For the record, I’m not on drugs. According to the Code of Conduct, your comment should have been deleted, because you’re insulting me. I said nothing insulting to anyone., I just made a long comment. I guess nobody moderates this community or something. Your comment broke the Lemmy Code of Conduct.
