That’s a brilliant breakdown. I love how you’ve highlighted how distinct the feel of each place can be. It’s interesting how each city (or even small town) seems to develop its own uniform.

I guess that answers my question pretty clearly, it sounds like UK cities do have their own styles, even if you only really notice it once you’ve spent time in a few of them.

Do you think those differences are changing, though? Like with online trends and fast fashion, are local styles starting to blur a bit?

We were in the Midlands sector.

To be specific, Wolverhampton.

It seems fairly obvious based on other articles talking about this that the legislation originates from chemtrail conspiracy theories and not actual geoengineering. I will quote some parts

Louisiana Rep. Kimberly Landry Coates stood before her colleagues in the state’s Legislature she warned that the bill she was presenting might “seem strange” or even crazy.

Coates described situations that are often noted in discussions of “chemtrails”

As she urged lawmakers to ban the unsubstantiated practice, she told skeptics to “start looking up” at the sky.

“I’m really worried about what is going on above us and what is happening, and we as Louisiana citizens did not give anyone the right to do this above us

Such bills being crafted is indicative of how misinformation is moving beyond the online world and into public policy.

Chemtrail believers often call chemtrails “geoengineering” as a means of giving their conspiracy theories some credibility. That’s not to say geoengineering isn’t real. I’m saying it’s a term that conspiracy theorists have appropriated to talk about chemtrails without actually mentioning the word chemtrails

I really wish people would stop using the existence of geoengineering to offer credence to chemtrail conspiracies. The link you provided has nothing to do with the contrails that we see in the sky every day. You can get binoculars or a high zoom camera and see that the contrails originate just aft of the exhaust nozzles. The 850°C engine exhaust mixes with the freezing cold -50°C air and condenses. In a four engined plane you’ll see 4 trails, in a twinjet you’ll only see two

Do that many people not realise what condensation is?

Seems like an instance of some kind, but it’s not currently fetchable. I just tried to access it and got an DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error

Neato! I love the pie icon. I’ll check it out!

I’m sorry that you’ve lost people you know and have dealt with intolerant people. One of the best things is that everyone is different and as long as those differences harm no one, that’s a great thing! It’s such a shame that even today there are such intolerant people. Sending love and wishing you a lovely day!!

Happy Pride Month! LOVE WINS!!!

Same. Lemmy reminds me of how Reddit used to be ages ago. Discussions are actually elaborate and thoughtful. The quality of content is so much better. I fear if Lemmy gets too big the quality of content will decline

My guess is that the posts and comments will still be visible but if you click on a username or a post it’ll just redirect you to an error page

I remember people using tools such as Greasemonkey to redact comments on Reddit using scripts to mass-replace the content of their comments with babble. If comments don’t get truly deleted when they are deleted or can be brought back up in some way, then editing comments to replace the content of them with babble is better. That’s my two coins anyway. I think something similar is happening here. Another factor could be that some instances might not federate comment deletions as well as they do with edits

Happy 2 years!!! Very glad you had a great time!
