A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

US. You can't just pull in and expect diesel. You have to know where they are. I don't pay that much attention but it's probably, maybe 1/3 have diesel.

*Wow y'all sensitive to someone's personal experience.

[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'll back you up. Diesel is widely available in rural and suburban America where big pickup trucks are common, and it's less available in cities where smaller cars are more common. (Other than an occasional VW model we do not have small cars with diesel engines, which sucks.) I have been to cities on both coasts where you had to go out of your way to find stations selling diesel.

Trust me, it doesn't

Yeah, Some people really don't pay attention. I figure 1 in 3 around here have diesel. Most of those are set up for big trucks as well. The ones that don't are ready to charge you four bucks for a sixteen ounce soda.

Given how big the US is I would imagine this kind of varies state to state. I'm in Washington state and I would say that about 85 to 90% of gas stations have diesel available. The major ones that don't off the top of my head are Costco and Fred Meyers Gas Stations. The majority of the rest of them even in downtown Seattle generally have diesel available

[–] Pogogunner@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

I believe you, but I've never seen a Fred Meyer that didn't sell Diesel. In the areas I've lived in the United States though, any fuel station without diesel would be a novelty

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Not my experience at all.

You should pay that much attention lol.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Meh friends with diesel complain and say they have to know.

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I know where I am almost every station has diesel but the ones that do there's no guarantee it's at every pump so you still have to pay attention.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Definitely not at every pump. I was talking stations.
