I’m going to watch it anyway, so there.

But as a brain cleanse, try little Emma. It’s not amazing, but it’s cute as hell. Itty bitty humans smaller than sentient racist livestock.

They looked cute at the time 🤷🏻 and I didn’t know they would be that bad… I knew they were temporary, though…

I got 5 dermal anchors back when I was 18. They have been nothing but problems. I’m down to 3, 2 having been ripped out this past year… I’ll let the other three reject whenever they decide to do so (I’ve been preventing rejection for almost 20 years and I’m tired of it). I’d have to pay to get them removed, which I’m not doing.

Don’t get dermal anchors.

Just don’t be a woman on Lemmy.

Sure, most people won’t downvote or harass you just for being a woman (a lot will… we didn’t get the best of Reddit at all, and I doubt the new adoptees are any better…) but they will often enough make things difficult even if they aren’t actively causing problems.

But men of Lemmy (aka the vast majority of the user base since they ran off all the womenfolk) don’t care. They see that as quality control or some dumb shit, because THEY aren’t interested in woman things, so nobody should be, or they think their “as a man” comments should be important or some shit… Whatever the post is about. If it doesn’t cater to them, it can fuck right off.

Which is why cis women make up <10% of the Lemmy side of the fediverse. It’s a disaster for women here.

But I wonder how long you’ve been here. Most of the posts of this nature are from very new accounts and they don’t know the problems yet…

Fwiw: that you know of

I mean, I would too, just to see if the moon is special.

I mean look, scientists (and random bored people) for thousands of years did the same thing. Tasted things, consumed things to see what they do…

Has anyone smoked the moon yet? No. So we don’t actually know. We can speculate it does nothing, but we don’t know.

Maybe snort moon dust? Probably more practical.

I switched thermostats due to the old one failing, and getting a basic smart thermostat was required for a hefty rebate that basically made it free… and the one I have now, the app thought my not-major-brand phone was a tablet. I couldn’t hit the button to turn down the heat, only up, because it was cut off due to scaling.

So yeah, requiring apps for interface is bad. Even if you are willing to use it there’s so freakin many various versions of android that it’s guaranteed to not work properly for a whole swath of people, mostly those on budget devices.

Definitely the pissed one. It costs next to nothing to farm any particular platform via bots, so why not go for anything that might have niche demographics? Destabalizing leftist groups seems to be sort of a goal of certain other groups these days so…

I think you give them too much credit. As long as it doesn’t actively hurt their numbers, like x, it’s just part of the budget.

I haven’t had eggs since they were $2/dozen, so zero in like 8+ months, but when I have eggs (starting chickens and quail) I’ll be eating probably 2-4/day. When they were cheap I was averaging 3/day, including baked goods and such.

I really don’t eat much meat (can’t afford that either, but my digestive system doesn’t do well with a lot of meat anyway), and my mushroom cultures are taking foooooooorrrrrreeeeeeevvvvvvveeeerrrrr, so… need protein somewhere.

I made some video game themed Xmas ornaments out of air dry clay as a gift… they turned out fine, but I didn’t realize the paint I used on them didn’t do a good enough job sealing them up. They should have been resin-dipped. In places the paint cracked, moisture got in, and over a couple years expanded the paper-based clay through the cracks so they look super creepy now. Very disappointing.

Mistakes are a great way to learn, though.

This misses the most important part.

Every other part of history is crammed just before the 1900s, as a big lump sum. Who cares how long ago the 1600s are, it’s basically the same as the 1900s, right?

Ungh we have a similar thing around me for a used car company… just absolutely obnoxious commercials (that run way too fucking often) made very very poorly by the people who own the company and have an absolute gob of money… like they could hire better (and likely pay a lot to stage that shit to look low budget) and choose not to, because stupid people fall for the “Joe Everyman” bullshit they pull.

Yeah, with this I’m rethinking launching an educational video channel, and will probably end up just sharing my info via blog (are blogs even still a thing?)

Which is disappointing, honestly, because the info lends itself to a video medium, but… meh. My safety is a lot more important than sharing info.

I feel for anyone out there who already has easy-to-locate pics out there… and I hope the people in their lives tell them about this so they can do what makes them comfortable.

I’m not them, but here’s a paper about it

I guess I haven’t really had the smelly problem (or at least nobody has mentioned it…). I have to use unscented detergents due to fragrance allergy, and I think thats a big part of why I don’t have that problem. The scented detergents leave so many residues to hold the scent that your own scent tends to stick more. Or maybe you just notice it more as it mingles with a scent you are used to. Not sure, but the unscented stuff at worst smells a bit musty.

When I get deodorant buildup or the musty smell, I do a warm cycle with enzyme detergent (usually wash on tap cold, but when I do a warm cycle I use dirty labs unscented enzyme detergent. I’ve tried others, including scented, before I found that and they worked decently too) and it clears right up.

If you have the smelly problem with bedsheets or towels or anything, look into laundry stripping. You can do it with natural cotton and whatever clothing as well, but it requires super hot water so it does cause some damage to the fabric.

Considering I buy clothes every few years at most, still have clothes from middle school and I’m almost 40, generally don’t throw stuff out when it starts getting worn just repurpose it, and recently started buying almost exclusively athletic clothing due to build and material quality, probably a really long time tbh.

I also don’t usually wear clothes at home, which helps. Bathrobe. I have five of those.

I’d bet I could survive the bulk of my remaining life without getting new clothes, but they’d be in rough shape by then.

I guess the people in charge haven’t read the rifters trilogy. I don’t trust any of ‘em, but at least we already have a pandemic; they probably can’t make it worse.

Non-anime non-small-kid animation, especially series. (8-adult is fine, no porn)

I have a pretty big collection so far (tho I’ve not yet acquired much from before the 80s cuz I don’t really care for most of it) so I’m off to a good start in preservation :)
