@penguin42 maybe give them a little leeway but basic fact checking should be in place
like with Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson's bus, "£350 million a week goes to the EU", no it quite clearly doesn't
(seriously, any time they're out there you can hear them yelling about Thoreau in hedgehog)
(in reality the People's Republic of Hedgehogistan is actually closer to an anarcho-primitivist collective what with their larking around foraging for food and not being concerned with the whole "civilisation" bollocks and therefore doesn't have ministers and stuff, but facebook doesn't need to know that bit)
Due to the recent decision by Facebook to allow outright lies in adverts so long as the person behind them is a politician I am appointing everyone here who wants it as ministers without portfolio for the People's Republic of Hedgehogistan, a completely real country that I in no way just made up
re: uspol, facebook
@garbados I wonder where the bar is for considering someone a "politician"
like, can I run for town mayor of bumfuckville and get free reign to lie in facebook ads?

Due to running linux I'll never get pwned on a public unsecured wifi network
Mostly 'cause I can't figure out how to get the wifi driver working
globpol chaos trashpost
@sydneyfalk are former presidents still counted as government officials?
'cause if they are, standard procedure
if they're not then it'll be weird and complicated
and yes, I do realise that I've just called the impeachment of a president for a bunch of crimes "standard procedure"
@avi 
could probably make a decent set of bolas out of them
@halcy I totally want to see this court case

@halcy chmod 777
can never remember the permissions stuff, it's probably fine
(sometimes it's very not fine)

mastodon is like Sesame street where a muppet announces the word of the day and the whole town loses their shit over it
obnoxious, food
@noelle also a minor pet peeve about star trek
"no life signs cap'n"
*transports down*
"look at all these trees!"
hey babe, are you today's date? 'cause you're a 2019-10-11
...wait
meds request, 
@mavica ah, right, sorry
it's just that it's different stuff all over the world sold as "benadryl", didn't know if your local sort was like the US variant or the stuff sold here or anything else, should have assumed you'd already checked that sort of thing
meds request,
@mavica oh I meant it as if you have anything local that says it's diphenhydramine then it might work
also the valerian root extract might be available in health stores
