I get the others, but why that last one?

I have put in place a number of restrictions for my "rudimentary" use of Reddit. Most of these restrictions have to do with using Reddit to promote its alternatives, deleting/rewriting old posts/comments, decreasing my usage of Reddit overall and increasing my use of Kbin, and countering and deplatforming bigotry on Reddit. Some people can argue that even "rudimentary" use of Reddit is too much use, and maybe it is, but it's still a pretty good improvement compared to the alternative of not being on the fediverse at all. I think that's what matters in our current landscape.

Regarding ad blockers, which I've seen mentioned a few times in this thread: Ad blocking doesn't really "stick it to the man" like a lot of people seem to think it does. The people who block ads are those who'd never click an ad, anyways, and if ad blocking is what it takes for them to use a website and build its value, then that's what it takes. So ad-blocking doesn't really decrease the click-through rate — I've actually heard that ad-blocking can sometimes increase the click-through rate, since ads are only shown to those most likely to click them.

I'm facing the same issue. I tried disabling JS by setting Blåhaj Lemmy to "untrusted" on NoScript, and this seemed to work the first time I tried it, but not any subsequent times.

The message I see is, "There was an error on the server. Try refreshing your browser. If that doesn't work, come back at a later time. If the problem persists, you can seek help in the Lemmy support community or Lemmy Matrix room."

Opening up the split console in Firefox Web Developer Tools, I see "500 Internal Server Error". Comparing and contrasting with lemmy.world, I don't see any other meaningful difference. I've also tried visiting Blåhaj Lemmy on Google Chrome on my Android phone, where I don't have any extensions, but that gave me the same error message.

Edit: There's a new message now, saying that the site is down for maintenance because of "something hinky going on" that's causing a "relative URL without a base" error.

If by "strongest soldier" you mean "wannabe anarchist insurrectionary with twig arms and a repainted NERF gun from 2008", then yeah, that's me. Is the Star-'n'-Bull really that iconic? :P

Or a V-line, or iliac furrows, or Adonis belt, or Apollo's belt.

Alright, to play the devil's advocate: the vast, vast majority of eggs that are sold are unfertilized, candled, and taken before there's any real chance of a visible embryo forming, even if they have been fertilized; and I don't think that even for the few fertilized eggs that do get sold and eaten, that an unnoticeably tiny bunch of stem cells could properly be called "meat", anyways.

Curiously, I've seen a survey in Canada reporting the exact opposite.
