You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Im not sure hate is the right word, just disappointment. Hooters does kind of suck. Go to a real restaurant or a real strip club. He's got us.

I thought the same until I read about how it is a safe space for gay teenagers. This is all I found

But basically they are friendly to gay teens in the closet. Also, I think Hooters is closing.

I find this interesting but somehow I'm still not sure whether I get it right after reading the article. I don't know if it's something wrong with the article or my English comprehension skills. Anyway, here's what I get from this: so the (grand)parent's of young gay boys took them to Hooters hoping to reinforce their masculinity and heterosexuality. But the waitresses were so friendly and understanding that they actually ended up reinforcing their real sexual orientation instead. Is that correct?

That's correct. They way you said it could have a bad interpretation, but yeah. At the very least, one could say that through their actions they said: there's nothing wrong with you.

If you have to advertise that you're an alpha male, you're not an alpha male.

[–] zurohki@aussie.zone 78 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He means alpha as in alpha versions of software. Unstable, buggy and not fit for the general public.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 26 points 1 week ago

Or like an alpha particle, having low penetration power.

HE'S AN ALPHA MALE. EVERYONE SEE THAT? ALPHA MALE.

If you have to point it out ...

[–] katja@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Is alpha a furry thing? I guess yes?

[–] GrilledCheese@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yep it means he likes having sex with other alpha males so as to preserve his testosterone. (If your question was serious then no it’s not a furry thing, it’s just fun to make fun of men like this) (also maybe it has a secondary connotation in the furry community that I am unaware of, for I am not a furry or all that familiar with them)

My daughter works at Hooters but she does have great tits.

I probably shouldn’t have fed her so much milk as a child.

God I really had a thing for the Green one. It was like she was staring into my soul and saying “Fuck Me”. Then they changed her shoes and the magic is gone.

"How deep your rabbit hole goes," by the look of that red M&M wink-wink

Oh that reminds me of how upset they were with the green M&M not being fuckable

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I think that may have been one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my entire life, a grown-ass, middle-aged man getting pissy about the fuckability of a fictitious, anthropomorphised piece of candy.

The thought that many, many more grown-ass, middle-aged men were at least thinking it is another of the funniest things I've ever had in my noggin!

Wait, you mean this guy is real? I genuinely always thought it was a parody account…

See, that's what I thought too. But apparently he's a real guy, and Trump nominated him for ambassador to Malaysia. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/10/trump-ambassador-nick-adams-alpha-male-00447423?internal=true

I went to Hooters the other day, and it was full of dudebros with goatees and MAGA hats holding bibles and loudly going on about how Christian and un-woke they were. Some of them were even holding their bibles the right way up.

Sucks to be one of the waitresses that night, though, as your tips are going to be those fake dollar bills with a bible verse printed on them.

This is a dude that was too embarrassing even for the Liberal Party in Australia.

In 2009, the Liberal Party of Australia threatened to suspend Adams from the party for six months for conduct deemed likely to "embarrass or cause damage to" the party during an altercation with Brett Mason, a journalist for Channel Ten. Mason was filming a report on Adams' absences from the council due to overseas travel when Adams confronted him, stating, "I would just like to say that Brett Mason is a [expletive] good-for-nothing [expletive]. Thank you." However, Adams claims he resigned from the party before he could be suspended. Adams resigned from Australian politics in 2012.

This bit is comedy gold.

In 2005, as Deputy Mayor, Adams put forward a motion to ban pigeons from the Municipality of Ashfield due to fears of the bird flu, but failed to explain how this plan would be implemented.

I'm still not sure if it's all just an act, like a right-wing-nutjob version of Nathan Feilder. He's kinda fascinating, honestly, in a trainwreck kind of way.

I'd MUCH Rather tax my Children to HOOTERS instead of a DRAG SHOW because HOOTERS is NOT SEXUAL AT ALL and Drag Shows are LITERALLY JUST RAPING CHILDREN! Which I'm COOL WITH NOW that Trump said Epstein is a Good Guy but NOT Drag Rapists!

Nono, it's true! Read it in the Bible myself!

"And on the 8th day, God said: 'Go forth and preach my word while surrounded by tiddies! Also, like, get yourself a steak or smth while you're there.'"

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My problems with hooters are predominantly with the working conditions. A cooperatively owned breastraunt may not necessarily be my thing, but as a leftist and as a feminist sure whatever

the people demand worker's cooperative femboy hooters

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Every Christian knows that Jesus' miracle with the loaves and fishes was just a mistranslation, and it really read Wings and Fries in the original Aramaic. So Jesus would approve of going to Hooters.

Carry on.

Ah, yes, my Fortnite controller which I use to Fortnite with other Fortniters with my Fortnite console. Is this like a new version of when Boomers used to call anything even tangentally related to video games "a Nintendo"?

But I don't want to go to hooters and I don't need to poop
