Absolutely! Toasted, with ketchup!
Absolutely! Toasted, with ketchup!
Sorry, absolutely no clue—like at least 30-40 years ago.
Sleep tight. Don’t let the bedbugs bite. And if they do? Bite them back!
I hear this! Mine now tries to snuggle up by shoving his butt toward my face, and draping his tail across my mouth.
I’ve read about a variation of this and do it faithfully! Except you have to be driving under an overpass with train tracks, and there has to be a (preferably moving) train on the tracks above you. The idea is that when you press your hand to the car’s ceiling, you get to send a wish to hitch a ride on the train going by above you. The moving train takes your wish along with it, giving it quicker travels, more exposure to the world, and thus more opportunities to be fulfilled.
Yes. This is the basic driving style on the Katy. No rules, no lanes. Just wide open spaces, bumper to bumper at a minimum of 75 mph. On a good day.
From my grandmother: “Essen! Essen!” (Eat! Eat!) Followed quickly by “You need to lose weight! You’re getting fat!”
Just about 10 years on Reddit. My visits to Reddit dropped by 99.9%; still do a few check-ins with support communities I’ve used. Here on Lemmy, actively contributing and minor role as mod in a couple of communities. Building a new home in the stars.
It’s definitely not “normal,” certainly not healthy. As to what—could be symptoms of many different possible underlying causes.
That we’ve been to the moon and back, and that they can casually toss into their pockets a device with enough “thinking” power to do the necessary math for the task and then some.
And that we still can’t make nylon stockings that don’t “run,” but that nobody cares because we don’t wear them anymore.
That, and transgender is normal.
I believe you’d be welcome at !neurodegdissupport@lemmy.world. I’m a co-mod. We’ve got Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s and MS represented among the active and vocal participants. Yes, I know epilepsy isn’t technically “degenerative,” but it is neurological.
Alzheimer’s, other forms of dementia, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, multiple sclerosis, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s)… and similar concerns. We’re not all affected by every one of these, but we can make common cause and support each other.
“I also understand how that could be seen to go against the point of federated social media in the first place…”
Federating with Meta is different from federating with individuals. It’s like letting corporations be treated the same as natural persons for the purposes of voting in political elections and exercising other civic participation rights.
Natural persons may have a variety of motivations for federating. Corporations have only one: to increase profit.
And please don’t say “federate now, revisit later if needed.” Recall the fable about the scorpion and the rabbit facing a raging flood. Said the scorpion, “oh please, rabbit, let me ride on your back as you swim across.” Rabbit said “no, you’ll sting me and I’ll die.” Scorpion said “no I won’t; we’re both in danger; I have children at home; we both want to live.” Rabbit said “okay, if you promise not to sting me.” So scorpion climbed onto rabbit’s back, and halfway across the flood, scorpion gave rabbit a lethal sting. Rabbit asked why, and scorpion shrugged; “you knew what I was when you let me onto your back.”
Yah, I really don’t want to see Lemmy become infested with p*nis enchancement ads, pseudo-science slime, and watch Russian bots commandeer US & other elections (yet again).
Thank you; is there a way to get this to work on the Android Toob app?
Yeah; I could cut and paste the url into NewPipe. But links seem to default to the Toob, and if I just want to get a quick glimpse to see if the material is worth my time, I can’t be bothered.
Yes—and there seem to be more linked articles, compared to linked YouTube posts. I prefer to read, rather than wait through ads and a blah-blah-blah intro explaining why I should want the content about to be revealed by the loquacious host.
Reading is a highy efficient way of transmitting information. It feels like a giant step backward in cultural evolution to force information into an aural format with visual candy-coating as enticement.
You probably have food banks in your area which would be delighted to get some!
And for heaven’s sake, start an investment retirement account now. Yeah, I know, “but I’m not making enough, but there’s that shiny thing in the (online) store window, but I’m never going to get old.” Just allot one take-out coffee’s worth of spare change per week. You can up the ante later. Let the miracle of compound interest do its thing.
