Makes sense, but why not also include ads for alcohol?

There go my dreams of opening a combination burger joint / gas station in the red light district
I don’t think it’s normal to see murdered animals on billboards.

Is "greensicko-laser" a placeholder/alt text for an image? It looks like you just say greensicko-laser and I have no clue what that means
Yes, it’s an image/emoji. Trying to view the post from slrpnk it seems most of the images aren’t loading and I can’t tell if that’s a temporary thing, or if Anubis is unhappy with me, or if in addition to that issue you’re using a screen reader.
No screen reader, and no clue why, it happens often, though many times it's just a delay, this time nothing seems to happen to load it..
Looking at the source text, the URL has a triple image proxy. From slrpnk to lemmy.ml to lemmygrad.ml to hexbear.net. The actual image URL is
https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/1ceffa01-463e-46e2-8a88-ff68ffb8baa7.png
I don't know the technical details behind it, but I wouldn't expect the image being proxied three times to work well. Maybe slrpnk has defederated from one of them and that breaks the chain?
I’ve had issues in the past when the pictrs server most recently proxied from is struggling, but usually the number of proxies shouldn’t matter because each pictrs server caches the image, so slrpnk requests should have only gone to lemmy.ml to populate the local cache, but not beyond because ml has already cached all the images from grad.
Yeah I think slrpnk has defederated from at least two of them, and I think .ml is on thin ice lol, that could very well be it!
The triple proxy is impressive though
And thanks, that link works!
Not that it really makes a difference at this point, but I’ve updated both the comment and article with more direct links and that seems to have fixed things.
