Google for fediverse instance block lists and pick one of the right-wing cesspits that brag about their "free speech" and "no censorship" policies. Let's see how much free speech they really tolerate.

Or try these Lemmy instances. They're already trash, so no worries about ruining anything:

This still strikes me as creepy and objectifying.

Compliment things that people have an active choice over, rather than their bodies. "That coat really suits you" or "Your hair looks great today" are a lot better than "You're beautiful."

And don't tell the person how to receive your comment. "Just wanted to make your day." Ugh.

An audible sigh followed by "Fine" or "Sure" = Yes

But the lack of enthusiasm really kills the mood.

Shitty propaganda piece is shitty.

PPB is "Pig Pooping on Balls." One of hexbear's favorite reaction photos is a pig with testicles so large they stick out back, and the pig literally has some of its own poop resting on its gargantuan balls.

So I guess they have a list of users they see as helpless, ignorant pigs. Delightful bunch, those hexbears.

1 part sugar
6 parts water
Mix thoroughly until sugar is dissolved.
Add 2 parts lime juice and 1 part tequila.
Serve in a chilled glass while sitting outside in the shade on a hot day, preferably with friends.

Small doses cause relaxation and good vibes.
Large doses may lead to kissy time with aforementioned friends.
Excessive doses may cause acute pain and regret.

Sure, you could pay with a check, but where's the fun in that? I have absolutely paid contractors with thousands of dollars in cash stuffed into an envelope. If you ask the teller at your bank nicely, they will even band the bills into tidy stacks so you can feel like you're in a mobster movie.

And some of the other sins are only legal in international waters.

Getting work done in your house? Ask if they offer a cash discount.

Saudi Arabia and Oman are both ruled by absolute monarchies that have cemented political control over their respective nations. Both countries have plenty of corruption and poverty, and the governments are shit, but at least things are stable and predictable for the populace.

Yemen has not found a stable political structure yet. Since throwing of British colonial rule in the 1960s (not the first foreign power to control the region, and surely not the last) Yemen has been in on-again off-again civil wars as various factions fight for control. Continued foreign intervention has not helped calm things down. The Yemeni people will continue to suffer as long as the fighting continues.

Oh, and Yemen's aquifers are drying up. Yemen may become the first country in the world to literally run out of fresh water. That is not going to help anything.

 
 
 

The mechanics must need a big honkin' driver, too.
