His Instagram tells a really sad story. He was an infrequent poster of perfectly ordinary content. No sign of any mental illness: pictures of his sisters wedding, some jokes, nothing concerning.
Then, some posts about the death of his mother and almost right after, his sharp decline in mental health becomes apparent.
Another vote for the untitled goose game. My kids loved that one at just about any age.
That'll never pass ... without some moderate lobbying effort.
Amateur! I usually make things worse by sitting around doing nothing. That's called efficiency.
No, it doesn't. Not even the old ones, because Brother is rolling out malicious firmware updates even to older models:

If you have one of the remaining good Brother printers, make sure firmware updates are disabled.
Here he is introducing (and inadvertently humiliating) his friend Elon, who he shares a shocking amount of awful views with:
"Our overall goal is to provide a safe space to disenfranchised persons."
That goal is fundamentally incompatible with an open medium where they don't have full control over every participant. That's why they have already defederated from any large instance that allowed open registrations months ago and have only continued to cut ties rather than to mend them.
BeeHaw's definition of "nice" isn't your or my definition of "nice". It allows no dissent or opposing views on most subjects and more so, it doesn't even allow for its members to be exposed to different ideas, however briefly.
They are trying to build the perfect echo chamber, free from anyone not "nice". You simply cannot build such a chamber if you don't have full control over every aspect of it.
BeeHaw's entire concept would have been far more suitable for an old bulletin board style forum, the kind that is all but extinct today, but not for an open (in every sense if the word) platform.
I'm writing this as someone whose views actually align pretty well with those of BeeHaw's - with the exception of their heavy handed approach to anything and anyone not fully aligned with them.
Their stated goal simply isn't achievable outside of a sealed environment, so, no, Lemmy probably isn't for them. They should look into phpBB and co.
They did give a reason though:

"Oh no, they'll contaminate a lot of goods that were prepared for recycling and endanger the health of the people involved in that process chain."
When corrected, most people don't double down on their own, accidental, misinformation. The fact that you chose to be defensive and sarcastic instead, speaks a lot about the kind of person who dumps mercury in the recycling bin with the expectation that others will clean it up.
Why is nobody thinking about the children!?!
They contain mercury and are hazardous waste, not recycling. If, or rather when, they break they will contaminate everything around them and are a healthy hazard. So, no, definitely not curbside recycling.
There should be drop off points in many big box stores for this kind of stuff.
Won't somebody please think of the children?!
Nah, can't be it. It's probably the chemicals the deep state cabal is putting in the water to turn the frogs gay.
The US has an almost completely and entirely intentionally broken system for legal immigration, which is one of the biggest reasons for its problems with "illegal" immigration.
