Mostly lurking. United States southerner, gay, working retail. An amazing combination
She’s also a stellar example of inequality and the mechanics behind it, imo. Being a trans woman has not made her a champion of queer rights. Belonging to a marginalized group doesn’t automatically make you a good person or even a non-oppressive person.
Kermit’s froghood baffles me, mainly due to the neck frill. I was down a Muppet history rabbit hole recently and realized that he was originally just named “Kermit”, and didn’t become “Kermit the Frog” for some years. So he was probably designed as a frill-necked lizard of some kind and got retconned into a frog. Mystery solved, right? Well no, because then I realized he got the frill the same time they started calling him a frog.
I was so distraught I turned to Muppet Wiki, which it turns out has an entire section on his collar. It’s an article of clothing. 😐
I don’t doubt that Steam is rife with antisemitism but we need to stop listening to the ADL.
Yup. I don’t understand why people are talking like Harris isn’t also pro-genocide. Obviously more Americans are going to die under Trump and that’s a tragedy too, but why are people pretending the election was about Palestine?
I guess it’s because his Discord server was where he leaked them? I feel like someone who doesn’t use Discord could read this headline and assume he worked for the company, though.
This is horrifying for a lot of reasons but it’d be nice if my boss had to see the amount of people who yell at me for masking or tell me I look like a man every day. It wouldn’t help anything I just hate my boss and want her to feel the awkwardness
I’ll take any reference that isn’t Wonderland!
I really wanted that site to crash and burn. Oh well.
Is it a known thing that they discontinued canoe or something?
I think it’s more that kids are the ones expected to be protected by the law, whereas adults are allowed to knowingly engage in addictive behavior, like alcohol and cigarettes.
Ah, yeah that makes sense. Brainfart on my part.
Despite the slurs, Mr Swenson was glad that the hackers had announced their presence so loudly.
It would have been much worse, he said, if they had decided to quietly observe his family inside their home.
They could’ve peered through his robot’s camera, and listened through the microphone, without him having the slightest clue.
Why does a vacuum cleaner have a spy camera and microphone? Insane thing to have in a house with children.
These guys are telling on themselves. “She used to be a man, so she’ll do [horrible thing].”
So you do [horrible thing] to your partners??
That makes a lot of sense, thank you.
I really like YouTube Revanced on Android, it’s a patcher that includes an ad blocker as well as a ton of other QOL fixes.
But I understand why more people don’t fuck with it, because if you install it wrong, your app will bug in the weirdest ways. Like my YouTube app kept getting renamed with the content of my last error message.
All right. I’m still going to specify next time, because the only posts I’ve seen about this descended into arguing about the US education system and whether it’s acceptable not to know this, instead of focusing on how to help people.
Unfortunately the only real answer I’ve seen from Georgians online is that they need pushback from EU members. As someone on the other side of the world, all I really know to do is to send money to my loved ones and hope they can move soon.
Oh, yeah, I probably should have specified. We don’t have a parliament in the US, plus gay marriage is recognized on a federal level, not a state level. It’s not unlike a red state to try to find a loophole— mine sure did— but I don’t think it’d get this far.
That one year where I was buying a new piece of kitchen equipment right before every holiday 😅
Really depends on the type of wasp. Most of the ones local to me seem chill if stupid. They’ll smack right into you or get in your hair and as long as you don’t swat at them, they’ll eventually fly away.
Per the wiki. Surely that explains everything.
