Um, it is?
My partner 2023: some_guy, I want an air fryer for my bday.
My partner 2024: some_guy, I want jewelry for my bday.
My partner 2025: some_guy, I don’t know what I want for my bday. But I bought a robot vacuum; that will be my bday present. Also, let’s take a road trip.
Oh yeah. In 2020, when I saw how awful a huge part of my fellow citizens acted.
Fake breasts don’t look right or feel right. I’d prefer natural A cups to fakies. I have an ex who wanted fakies and I begged her not to ruin her body. Dunno what happened after we broke up.
As someone who genuinely is fascinated by language, this is my favorite post of the day.
Name all your files *.
Block communities you don’t want to see. Browse and look for communities that aren’t currently hitting your front page and subscribe. Yesterday, I discovered one that was right up my alley that I hadn’t seen after nearly two years on Lemmy.
It’s the latter one. They want to destroy all government.
I’m in Oakland and have a trans flag hanging in my office window. Gotta support my friends.
I came from a midwest city of ~400k people that was surrounded by small towns. It was a culture shock when I came to the Bay Area and all the servers at a cafe had tattoos and piercings (this was 20 years ago; the midwest has caught up with this). When I lived in the midwest, they made me take my earrings out to deliver pizza.
Big cities are absolutely more accepting of diversity. You said yourself that the Pride parade is pretty large. Go get a feel for things. You don’t have to have some transformational sense of acceptance. It might happen slowly due to the years of repression (but maybe it’s right away, which would be awesome). I’m happy that you’re looking for where you fit well because there are definitely those spaces. Good luck!
I try to live my life happily while causing the least negative impact for others.
You need better friends. It sounds like you’re probably fairly young. Dunno if that’s true, but young people can be real shitheads who talk about each other behind their backs. I did that when I was in my teens and maybe early twenties. If that’s the case, know that most people grow out of that phase. If you’re older than I’m guessing, maybe try to explore how to make friends with people who are more mature. I’m afraid I don’t have pithy advice on that.
May I recommend a book: The Jakarta Method, by Vincent Bevins. Humanized Communism in a way that profoundly changed my thinking.
You make Bender sad.
This is my favorite post of the morning. Laughed well and shared with a friend. Thanks, Onion.
“Opportunities” when talking about shitty metrics.
Why would we help people? /s
Ehhh… If you don’t get killed catching your meal or die from the wound sustained in doing so, sure. I’ll take the medicine future, thanks.
I thought a lot about getting out of tech about eight years ago. I landed on becoming a history professor as the role that would be most fulfilling. I hated school and I would hate getting accredited, but I believe I’d be able to impart the joy of history to a handful of students. Too bad I hated school. I’m still in tech.
If I could swap to chickens, that’d be interesting. Buckawk.
Here’s the thing… You voted for the bad thing, you stupid fucking idiot.
No, but I spent a lot of time and money practicing to cook the perfect steak. Now I can eyeball it and adjust the time as needed for a splendid outcome. My partner does most of the other cooking.
