AFAIK, you are correct, Lemmy does not have karma. Piefed has some sort of karma/reputation by account, but I think it’s geared more toward easing moderation than providing a status symbol

How do you know the shooter was an old white guy? I haven’t seen it reported anywhere yet

The lines between reality and satire get blurrier by the day

That do be how it is. Thank god for supportive friends!

Raw milk should be treated like ice cream - never let it get too warm, unless you’re pasteurizing or boiling it. Jesus Christ, these people.

I have multiple friends with dairy goats, and I end up with milk a lot of the time. They’ve always told me it was raw, and I never was too worried about it, because they’re small operations and I trust their hygiene practices. Hell, I’ve milked the goats myself! And I went on for a few years happily drinking raw milk and making raw goat cheese. And if I ever shared it, I would tell people it was raw, but I never thought much about it.

Somewhere along the way, over the past few years, I noticed that the conservatives were getting more and more into raw milk. And you know what I did? I read more about the risks, learned how easy home pasteurization is, and started fucking pasteurizing my milk. It’s not hard, and it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Plus, I want to be the cool friend who knows how to make their own cheese, not the weird conspiracy theorist talking about how they’re oppressed by the FDA.

Free Cascadia!

It hasn’t happened yet, but I’m pretty sure they’ll disown me whenever I tell them I’m trans.
