  • My city specifically says, as a homeowner, I can do basic electrical without pulling permits. Now I’m in the South and I’ve rented houses which were internally wired with lamp cord - people can and will do some crazy fucking things. But my city doesn’t have an unusually high electrical fire rate.

    As always on an old house tho - grandfathered in many ways - I point to things and say “it was like that when I bought it.” Why yes, I’m prepared to claim the EV hookup is part of the original 1902 electrical service.




  • I told them their “MEN DON’T POST HERE” posts on the frontpage are hostile, which is the reaction they got from a half dozen folks who were talking about the subject. I talked about my experience as a gay man, wanting more community here on Lemmy, but that I wouldn’t start communities or threads saying “NO STRAIGHT PEOPLE POST HERE” to do it. And I pointed out their community has decided there are only two ways to deal with it.

    I get that I broke their rule, and I can be banned there for that - but they didn’t ban me for being a man, they banned me for hurting their feelings.

    And now I can’t use LGBTQ and Trans communities as a result. OK, fuck turtlesareneat, he shouldn’t be allowed in queer communities cause he hurt a mod’s feelings.
