It definitely is for those things, but in general it's meant to encompass things that would cause problems if a coworker or manager looked over your shoulder. Graphic depictions of illegal drug use is borderline which is why I wanted to ask the community how they felt about it.

Politics aren’t allowed in !memes. We do try to catch it when a political meme is posted.
I appreciate the many voices here. It seems like consensus is that the tag is not needed as a general rule. I want to be clear, also, that the NSFW tag is not censorship, but also doesn't seem necessary either. Thank you guys for chiming in!
That story is a wild ride.
I know several women this would work on.
3 cat buttholes. I love it.
Self deletions don't appear in the mod log. Only moderator actions. That's why it's called the mod log.
It was a nail biter
How about none of the people in this meme?
Maybe that was after the shooting.
We saw VERY few nominations for books in December, and I know everyone is very busy with the season. We'll open nominations for January at the end of the month so be thinking about it.
INSTEAD... we are going to be reading some short stories for those that still want to have something to read together.
Let's read:
- This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
- The Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang
- The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster
If you have other suggestions we can throw them out here too. I'll create discussion for these three for now.
The time has come, friends, to nominate more reading for December! This post will collect nominations for the next few days (I'm thinking into the weekend) and then we'll have us a vote. Please don't hesitate to talk about why you want to share your pick and why you think it will be a good item for discussion.
Luna: New Moon by Ian McDonald
We had a lot of selections to choose from this month and it was pretty close race between Luna and Annihilation. I am very excited to experience this book and enjoy the discussion.
Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer
Annihilation is our second place selection for November. We decided to choose a second book for people who want to have a little more variety and want to do more than one book in a month. I am looking forward to the discussion on this one. I saw the movie when it came out but am really interested to experience the story in book form.

What sci-fi stories bring out a strong emphasis on family (self made or born into) to you?
(lemmy.world)
For me I would say "The Expanse" is a huge one. If there was ever a self made family, the crew of the Rocinante is one of the best. The amount of time they spend together and how they congeal into life long partners and friends in the face of some truly awful events is really inspiring to me.
It's time to select a book for November! I'll collect nominations for the next couple of days.
These are the nominations from October that didn't a chance to be voted on proper:
- Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
- Godspeed by Charles Sheffield
- Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer
- A memory called Empire
- Hyperion
- Revelation Space
- Empire of Silence (Suneater series 1)
Please add more or throw your support down for one of these! For me this month I will nominate:
Omega Rising (book 1 of Omega Force) by Joshua Dalzelle
UPDATE: We have some winners!
John Dies at The End by Jason Pargin (David Wong)
Because I failed to properly call for an organize nominations and voting for October Book Club selection, we will forgo a formal vote and read John Dies at The End, as it had the most interest in the nomination post and it's a good fit for a spooky season read. We'll do better and be more organized in the lead up to a November selection.
This is definitely a self paced discussion, but please try to finish and post your thoughts before the end of the month if possible. This is an easy read and likely an entertaining one.
Thank you so much for participating! I am excited to hear your thoughts.

The original question came up over snorting drugs through a rolled up C note but would also likely encompass shooting heroin or smoking meth/crack. But the consensus appears to be not to ask for an NSFW tag at this time. So that will be our stance unless you guys decide things are going too far and you want the tag included on posts with that sort of content.
