2020 was… truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision...
Yes I meant unbiased, but I was unsure if even using that word would be taken the wrong way. I don’t want to be taken as a centrist or anything like that, because I’m not even close.
I just want a flat clinical review of what it says versus what it actually means without clickbait sensationalism. It is plainly bad, that much is obvious. But what are the real-life, bureaucratic implications of its potential execution?
Thanks for the link, I’ll definitely check it out.
Having grown up where David Duke also lives, ambiguously failing the paper bag test, and coming of age during 9/11, I encountered a wide variety of racial insults. Many of them involved the n-word.
The most memorable one for me happened after the orator learned that I was neither black, Arabic, Hispanic, Italian, nor Asian.
“Oh you’re Hawaiian? I heard you Island N-words don’t even sing the National Anthem.”
The other aggressors as well as my friends burst into laughter at how ridiculously stupid his statement sounded. Even his buddy was like, “Hawaii is a state you fucking idiot.”
The encounter ended and we all moved on but I still laugh when it pops into my head
My nephew joined the Marines, wanting to be in infantry. His recruiter spent months fixing his brain and convinced him to pursue avionics instead. Really smart kid and he’s finally understanding how he’s setting himself up well when he gets out. He’s still in B or C school or whatever it’s called.
I’ve been watching One Piece (the anime) for a couple of months now and, while I know that it’s shonen, watching the obviously badass female characters suddenly turn into sexy wimps is consistently disappointing.
I don’t think that necessarily puts you in Mystery Box territory. JJ would just change it to fit whatever he wants to say at the moment. Think of it more as a currently-unknown variable that will logically reveal itself to you as you continue building the setting outside.

I still Google reddit threads for stuff I know will exist there already. DIY, software, niche things. It can’t be helped because it’s easily accessible. While I appreciate Lemmy very much, the historical repository that is reddit still trumps many other places. For now.
For context, they managed to successfully accomplish an impossible task (defeating a Lich with it’s minions) to save their tribe’s armoury and magical item stash. So their master, an Ancient Red Dragon, will give them an item from his own collection
Me for the pixel 8 pro. I’d rather the regular pixel 8 but if I’m going to keep this thing for 7 years (which I will; typing from a pixel 2) then I want it to be as feature rich as possible. Not looking forward to how big it’s going to be when it finally gets delivered
I’m currently reading the books for the first time, just finished callibans war. I was wondering, should I watch the serie along with reading the books? Does each season represent a book?
I couldn’t read a song of ice and fire because the show’s visuals influenced my imagination too much. I just kept imagining how dirty everyone’s shoes and pants were lol. The show had done a good job executing the gritty feel but it kept clashing with what I was visualizing in my head
The art is beautiful and I’m about to dig in to her work, but damn, how has a disruptive character like Gerda (as well as Lili) escaped the zeitgeist? I’m amazed by the cliff notes biography I’ve seen so far and am excited to learn more about them both. Fascinating.
my calculus teacher did little senior year jokey biographies of people as a big powerpoint on the last day. he was well loved, venerable, yet also slightly … odd. sharp, but vaguely weird. he separated people into basically informal friend groups [with multiple people on the same slide] and people who were the sort of weird...
On the first day of school, my world history teacher singled me out as someone who is lazy and won’t do my work. I was crushed because I loved studying ancient history on my own until that very moment. She was right because I completely checked out even though I knew the entirety of the syllabus. I could have aced the class but I was too hurt to care. Fuck you Miss Couvillon.
I’m aware. Judging by OPs history and the fact they’re dbzer0, a piracy and anarchy instance, I doubt it’s uber would want their name associated bvvqqqqq. I was mostly joking anyway.

Anecdotally, the majority of fathers really are inept. I can’t believe the amount of guys who play into the stereotype. Pride in not ever having changed a diaper, complaining about having to babysit their own kids, generally buffoonery when trying to get me to relate to their shit takes on fatherhood. Even some of my friends aren’t truly thinking about their role as both parent and partner.
That said, when I’m out “alone” with one or both of my children and this scenario plays out, it really gets to me. I may not know or remember everything at all times when it comes to good parenting but I sure as fuck know that if I put socks on my son when he was a baby he’d flip a fucking table. The boy doesn’t want socks, ma’am. And dont take my picture.
It only gets to me for a short time because I feel like I’m receiving what my partner gets every damn day about everything else. Getting talked down to based on perceived gender biases

Would really love a launcher that can format icon shapes so that they’re all uniform in shape, like Nova Launcher …but open source. https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/4c2e37ff-d9b6-471c-9114-928fb8a709e2.png
I’ve been on this for a couple months and have enjoyed the experience as well. I imagine some of the overall issues encountered are more about my phone being nearly 6 years old than the launcher itself, but is the default weather widget broken for you as well?
Is that why I couldn’t siphon my gas that I needed for a generator after a hurricane? Not only did I fail at what I thought would be an easy task, I got sick and threw up in my 95⁰ house
