Out of curiosity, do you know what that first symbol means?

Straightedge is a punk subculture, so if you’re not into the music then I wouldn’t use the term.

Actually, moderators have access to a new tool that flags accounts suspected of ban evasion. The cannot see IPs or which other accounts were related, but they can see if an account is suspected and with what level of confidence. Many subreddits have a policy to ban all such flagged accounts.

That doesn’t work for the workflow of sending articles to my Kindle with a bookmarklet.

I have a Kindle. It does not support EPUB. This does affect me. I used to use a bookmarklet to send articles to my Kindle, and this would make that unfeasible.

Some of us still use devices that only support .mobi

DC 10. You roll a natural 1, it modifies to 15. CRITICAL FAILURE

I feel like it’s a bit ridiculous. A professional with expertise doing the worst they possibly can shouldn’t be the same as any random untrained person doing the worst they can.

Yes, the generic names make it a nightmare to search for things relating to them.

All of this reminds me so much of the OGL fiasco in the TTRPG world a few months ago.

Yeah, I feel like Cone Of Cold would have been a better spell for this meme. No chance at evading its damage.

I’m not responding to any more comments on this, but it’s evident that a lot of you have never lived through a wildfire. All of the resources you need get centralized on local news sites (like Castanet for Kelowna) in a way that makes it easy to figure out what’s happening. Many of the updates that local officials broadcast daily never get transcribed or posted anywhere except for local news sites such as that.

I don’t use Facebook, but many affected by the wildfires do.

It’s very hard to find the resources. The government sites are not SEO optimized, the URLs change, sometimes there’s better info on local news websites. People are trying to share these vital resources with one another on social networks that already exist, and are finding that they cannot. In a time of crisis, you can’t quickly set up another network on a different platform. Many people don’t even know about better platforms.

I am not going to debate over semantics with you.

One wonders why you won’t answer.

You’re reading very far into my use of a word. I used it because its meaning is very applicable here. It’s not “empty ideological language.” It means something similar to “patriotic,” though I didn’t use that word because for some reason in the US patriotism is considered to be a good thing.

This user seems to think the US superior to all other countries. The word’s definition certainly seems to apply:

Militant devotion to and glorification of one’s country; fanatical patriotism.
Prejudiced belief in the superiority of one’s own gender, group, or kind.

They’re asking because you’re probably stuck in a media bubble based on the fact that you simply cannot read the opinions of people outside of the US’s sphere of influence.

You’re incorrectly assuming that something has to be incorrect to be chauvinistic.

You gave an opinion that can’t really be called “correct” or “incorrect.” It’s just chauvinistic.

This is very chauvinistic.
