  • Damn yo, thank you for sharing a proper link at least.

    Sorry about my misunderstanding and our fuss and whatnot, but that’s altogether messed up ☹️

    I found the article via Tor (fuck Tater Reeves and his kind, and fuck Google), but seriously they seem to be censoring the full facts here in Mississippi…

    There can’t be a coincidence, I don’t think anyways…



  • Yes, I gathered as much. Again, I left that conversation two days ago, because it really doesn’t matter. I found myself confused, never saw such a mirror image alternate ampersand symbol before, and made a dummy assumption that it was a number 3 with a couple odd emphasis dots above and below, which led me to believe there was a missing #1 that had eroded on some old grafitti.

    Clearly I was mistaken, clearly I was out of the loop, and if it made you and others feel any better, I apologized, for being censored from proper Mississippi news. They’re still declaring that there was only one hanging near Delta State University, and they’re still declaring that was a suicide.

    I’m sorry I didn’t know what’s up when I initially commented, and yes I feel a bit embarrassed. But who should feel more embarrassed? Mississippi politicians that seem to be deliberately keeping their citizens in the dark and ignorant to this.

    This level of censorship on such tragic events is fucking disgusting!

    I’m glad we can have a bit of a civilized conversation now. Would you happen to have a link to a proper news article regarding these recent tragic events?



  • I apologize if I have somehow upset you or others with my lack of knowledge on what this meme graffiti refers to.

    I happen to live in Mississippi and still haven’t seen a single news report of a second hanging, nor has anyone even shared an actual news article link covering the second hanging.

    Keep in mind, Mississippi is actively blocking and censoring our internet and news, and the only one hanging they have covered, they’ve declared it as a suicide. So I had no clue why what appeared to me to be a list missing #1, my fucking bad.

    Literally no news here in this state regarding a second hanging, so sorry I was in the dark on this. Sorry I misinterpreted the ‘meme’, I’m living in the very state trying to keep us in the dark on this.

    You do NOT have to be a douchebag, literally two days after the comment you so rudely told me to shut up on. After two days (can you count days?), I had already shut up.

    But you just had to rudely resurrect the mostly dead thread to start shit. Try to be better than that, like maybe provide me a link to an actual news article regarding the second hanging or something, cuz only Tate Reeves and the other politicians of Mississippi know why they’re literally keeping that out of our own news…

    Or, ya know, if all you can do is curse at me, two days after the comment you responded to no less, there’s a simpler solution, you could just move on your merry way…

    I’d like to think you might understand a little better now and might possibly try to be a better person than just cursing.

    You could either ignore me, block me, or if I may ask, do you have a proper news article link to update me on what Mississippi is apparently censoring?






  • Nah, not as much as you’d think anyways. They coordinate their schedules pretty well, conveniently for the workers of the companies that need the freight materials to get back and forth to work.

    I don’t think they’re actually using the passenger trains all that much for casual passengers, at least not quite yet. I think at least so far it’s mostly to transport workers back and forth to and from work.

    But hey, it’s something anyways, some level of train progress down this way.


  • Bruh, I left this thread yesterday after I was informed there was a second hanging at/near Delta State University.

    Kinda fucking awkward to learn that news from Lemmy, considering I live in Mississippi, but you gotta consider that Mississippi is actively trying to censor our internet and news a lot more than most other states.

    Sadly, this is still the only source of information I’ve seen regarding a second hanging, they’re damn sure not putting that on our news channels here…

    Point is it’s apparently not recognized as a standard Unicode character. I don’t read E and 3 the same way, I’m not dyslexic.

    So I saw an unusual character I have never seen before, and wondered what the character’s origins were. What I discovered is that it’s apparently a dyslexic mirror handwritten ampersand of a long lost character typeface or handwriting style.

    Initially I thought it was just a custom fancy handwritten 3.

    So sue me for never seeing dyslexic mirror graffiti out in the wild before.






  • Indeed I learned a thing today.

    Did you know that only 27% of social media users know how to sharpen a pencil?

    According to recent research, 89℅ of modern AI users know how to sharpen their finger in a pencil sharpener…
