Cheeks are a part of the human body where the different pheromones are easiest to record. They telll information about the immune system, and hold the “personal smell” that everyone has (and which isn’t really a smell at all, because pheromones are observed with a different system than actual smells are). When you get your nose near someone’s cheek, you record a lot of personal data about them in your subconscious.
You receive information about how healthy your children would be likely to be, and also your subconscious gets irrefutable proof of “I am currently very close with person ______.”
Plus the other reasons mentioned here. But the most important one is that it’s a way to get your nose near their cheek.


My home instance was sopuli.xyz, but the community in question was on lemmy.ml indeed. I haven’t written anything on .ml ever since.


Ohhh!
And I am also a Lemmy refugee! 🤪
I mentioned the concentration camps China uses for Uyghurs, and I mentioned them with a rather mild wording. *blam*! Comment deleted! By one of the main people maintaining Lemmy. Hooray. I really didn’t want to play on their sandbox after that.
Somebody happened to mention Piefed in some /c/ just a couple of days later and now I’m here :)
Feels much more like home to me! 🙂


A Fecesbook refugee :)
(Okay, there’s one group that is too valuable for me. And another one where people really need help with trying to save the world and I write answers beginning with "yeah, this will work, but there are caveats. I’ll write more on the Fediverse side of our group, here’s the link: ", and then I write a longer text here on Piefed and add the link in the end of my FB comment.)
More sense than cannon teens? What makes more sense than cannon teens?


The right wingers can say all they want to.
Relevant is only whether the judge listens to those right-wingers or uses their own eyes.


They have enough evidence in the videos. Can’t the court just get it on with that evidence alone? It’s not as if there was anything terribly unclear about the case.


If there is one policemen arresting an ICE officer, the ICE officer is not allowed to resist the arrest. If there is one policemen arresting an ICE officer, surrounded by 20 ICE officers, none of the 20 ICE officers are allowed to resist the arrest.
And if they nevertheless do, that gets very interesting in court. Resisting an arrest is not a terribly good idea.


Yeah, I am currently using a PieFed instance that is behind Cloudfare, because my regular instance has problems. But I have preferred instances not behind Cloudfare.
AWS, it’s not really legal for any public institutions in EU to use AWS. Many do anyway, though. So yeah, some stuff might break in the society. But not that many things I use personally. Hopefully they have backups of their code on their own servers as well, so that if AWS ever disappears, they can quickly run the same code on some sensible platform. Wonder where their databases are physically located, though :D


Funny, but for me very little would change. The only one of those I use even occasionally is YT, and the videos would start appearing elsewhere. Peertube, maybe?
EDIT: Oh, I’d lose my steam library. That would be a nuisance!


True, but the chaos is coming anyway. The earlier it begins, the less destructive it will be.


That’s a different operation, though. At least for now USA’s behaviour is more akin to what they did in Iran than Iraq or Afghanistan.
The difference to the mayhem they caused in Iran is that here USA wouldn’t need to worry about implanting a successor.
HUR will be handle that a thousand times better.


In Putin’s case they don’t need to. There are competent people around who will be able to handle that. Moscow isn’t that far from the border of civilization.
Isn’t this is a bit like “if you are a person writing in the Fediverse and you don’t have lungs”?
