Since it struck Iran on June 13, the Israeli Government Advertising Agency has paid for tens of millions of advertisements on YouTube alone. In clear breach of Google’s policies, these ads justify and lionize the attack as a necessary defense of Western civilization, and claim that Israel is carrying out “one of the largest humanitarian missions in the world” in Gaza.

#snac2 allows for translations via .po files and on my instance I've used it to replace status action buttons' captions with colour emojis — makes the UI a bit nicer on a phone.
For favourite, boost and bookmark I've used the set that I already use in my BloatFE and the rest are just initial rough ideas — which, I have to admit, aren't perfect: crossed out speaker and crossed out bell, garbage bin and big red cross are a bit confusing as to what they might mean — we'll see if I can come up with something better.
And I've also brought back Mastodon's famous "toot" button. Yes, the one with the elephant 😏

Military spending is the perfect example of harmful growth.
Warfare increases the GDP growth of the economy, while resulting in negative use values in the long run.

in reply to Michael Magras • • •"Gun reform legislation" is pretty vague.
If you're not talking about the given example, then it's hard for readers to have any idea at all what it is you want Daughtry (and Maine Dems) to do.
A lot of the bills that have come out of the offices of Southern Maine Dems have been pretty rightly panned by lots of folks, including the ACLU (e.g. the ill-conceived ten-round limit on semi-automatics).

in reply to Michael Magras • • •My understanding is that municipalities are empowered to regulate the discharge of firearms.
The municipality wherein I reside does so, as you say most do (that is consistent with my limited experience, too).
I'm sympathetic if you have neighbors who behave badly with firearms. But that sounds like a local issue, not necessarily a state one.
Michael Magras
in reply to fm2279 • • •fm2279
in reply to Michael Magras • • •Not saying bad neighbors doing bad things with guns in tight quarters isn't a problem.
Just feel like it's a local one.
I don't even know how you'd write a statewide statue that would help you without being far too broad.

fm2279
in reply to Anthony • • •@abucci I think you're talking about how guns are dangerous as a very general concern, while I (and I thought we) were talking about a specific problem with discharge of firearms within a local jurisdiction that has the power to regulate it but doesn't.
Those aren't the same thing.
And I want to be friendly here because I've found our interactions to be pleasant in the past, but I'm not sure the way you've jumped in and out of the thread here is the gold standard for "rational".
fm2279
in reply to fm2279 • • •Anthony
in reply to fm2279 • • •Nobody has made this conflation.
I reacted to the statement that gun-related issues and laws in Maine are a local problem, which they very clearly are not. The specific one at hand, a person using a firearm in their yard, might be framed as a local/municipal problem if one were inclined to ignore the context in which it's occurring. But I am not so inclined. Furthermore, it's a perfectly reasonable and valid political act to petition your state to take action that your municipality will not, and force it to be a statewide issue that needs to be addressed (which it is, and has been, for some time). That's how politics works. I found your responses here--that it's "just a local problem"--to be needlessly dismissive of an important issue. I'd also like to keep things friendly, but I don't find dismissiveness like that to be very friendly.
