Presumably I'd at least end up on a list from this post, or if I already am on there, they'd add an underline.

That is in fact not a crime in the relevant country:

On June 11, 1990, the Supreme Court in the case of United States v. Eichman struck down the Flag Protection Act, ruling again that the government's interest in preserving the flag as a symbol does not outweigh the individual's First Amendment right to disparage that symbol through expressive conduct.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_desecration

Flag desecration is legal in the United States and carries no criminal or civil penalties. Based on Wikipedia's list, the US is more progressive on this issue than most other countries.

Is it "progressive" to not ban flag desecration? I would just call it "not idiotic."

[–] Infernal_pizza@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 40 minutes ago

Progressive just means not idiotic before everyone else

Actually it's about a different country, gawd

It's against flag code; which isn't a set of laws. Just respectful guidelines.

If you want to dispose of your flag according to flag code: You have to burn it. May I suggest throwing it into an oven along with a full gas can? Dispose of your old flag and possibly take down an entire neighborhood of zombies in the resulting house fire. 😤

Oops, time to fire up zomboid again

Project Zomboid spotted! Build 42 is awesome and I fucking love the ragdoll physics when I run them over now

[–] linkinkampf19@lemmy.world 2 points 26 minutes ago

Been playing almost exclusively with Slayer's Week One, and while it has some extra jank with 42 Stable (the plane crash in particular), it's still so damn fun. Half the time even just finding basic exploits with the NPC AI. I'm really tempted to start a run with the chaos mod to see how I fare in the 7 seconds I remain alive 🧟‍♂️

I'll have to turn that back on and see if it still tanks performance. When they first added ragdolls, every now and then some random chunk of meat or a whole body would be stuck in the ground tripping the fuck out and getting spaghetified which dropped the framerate down to single digits. 🤣

Of course. All american flags must be properly recycled.

Why, I fought in two dozen galactive wars for that flag, but I'll fight tooth and nail in court for him - if it weren't for the fact that I lost my teeth and nails in 06'.

Your supposed to burn it.

"when an American flag is worn out and no longer fit for display, it should be retired in a dignified way. The preferred method is ceremonial burning, but you can also bury it"
