They’re making a comeback. When you’re afflicted by a miasma or even a lecherous spirit, and it’s causing a pallor with your vigor being sapped, a cigarette can be just the thing to cool the throat and mollify the mind.

Are the trans kids hot? What school do they go to?

what is my purpose?

You show a Mt Dew ad at a single store in Ketchikan, AK

What inconsiderate bitch went out and bought the ice cream Jessie? Specifically to undermine me? And then tomorrow you can point to the empty pint and shame me. Yeah I’m done with your codependent bullshit, this is over!

Had that zit on his neck not popped at the worst possible time

OMG is this accurate.

I have quit all of my vices, from meth to cigarettes, and finally did away with weed.

Now I like who I am without weed - less anxiety, more in control, more ambitious, etc.

But I like being high almost more than that.

So I guess I’m going to buy a bag of weed once a month or something, get the best of both worlds? Or the worst IDK

I’m just too tired and busy. I had 4 tabs of acid in my psychedelic cupboard. Someone gave me more, now I have 7. One of these years I’ll get away and trip my balls off in a forest, but it’s not this year.

I organized our network’s printers into a print server, then wrote scripts to deploy them using a simple CLI tool. When printers break, I google it and order the part. Beyond that there is no more chaos, no more walking to workstations to troubleshoot. I am not a programmer, just an automation-focused sysadmin. Who ALWAYS gets assigned the bloody printers, because I’m too nice.

Them slutty, overdramatic-as-shit Anne Rice vampires of course. Join me up in the Talamasca, hunt me down a gay bodychanging lover, all the things.

Yay came here for this. I was all excited to start a couple of beehives in my back yard. Then I discovered their lineage and what they’re doing to the native bees. Instead I realized I am hosting tons of huge ass bumblebees in my yard, and I’ll just let them be(e). Maybe get some of those bee houses for solitary bees instead.

Definitely felt smaller and somewhat colder when initially switching. Normally smaller communities are nicer? Educated guess suggests a lot of autism going on in our core membership, it’s a high tech early-adopter crowd, not always known to be the warmest and fuzziest of individuals. Personally I decided, fuck it, I’ll just be my weird self and people can cope. Ignore it when you occasionally get downvoted to shit, it’s just a feature of Lemmy.

Consensual internal decapitation is such a transgressive turnon

Anyone else find it weird when there’s a pic of a hot guy showing his wanger, but he’s obviously in his kids room, or their toys are all over the bathtub? Like, we can assume you’re a DILF without needing to know their actual favorite Marvel characters. Anyway. Amateur porn always a bit weird.

Hold up the Dutch straight up put chocolate sprinkles onto buttered toast and you’re coming at exclusively at the US? And Danish were named after somewhere. Strudel… that sounds awfully germanic… I think Europe is gaslighting us. Also I’ve had European milk chocolate, holy shit.

First and foremost is - just like humans - refined carbs. Inflammation, cancer, diabetes, death. Most pet foods contain insane levels of refined carbs. If you put a cat on a food like Tiki that’s literally just seafood slurry, you can reverse many health problems, but it’s 10x the cost of kibble.

We need to get beyond feeding our animals the same ultraprocessed junk food we eat, and then we should absolutely be looking at this other stuff.

My cats have a water fountain with a plastic sponge pre-filter, as most have. I wonder about the microplastic generation in that all the time. Plus it’s a plastic fountain because the ceramic ones are also insanely expensive and do break.

Teaching kids words like “suspect” and “officer” and “stun device” (not kidding). Meant to teach kids that cops are friendly.

His mom looked it up, and the cop who “wrote” the book has been charged with spousal rape, so, yeah.

BIPOC, when seeing a cop, do not stop and think “Well I wonder if this is a good one or a bad one.” They just make a split second recognition and go with it - for their own safety. To them, cops are dangerous. So to me, cops are dangerous. If cops don’t want that reputation, well they need to make some big changes.

Or even if your kid is white but goes to school with black kids. I don’t want him living in a different reality than them. He’s going to have to know cops aren’t always good, and we’ve started explaining already. He’s 3 and they have already sent copaganda coloring books home, really alarming shit.

I have been toying with the idea of writing a children’s book about this, and one about comparative religion for toddlers (your grandmother’s Jesus stories are just stories, kiddo) but publishing children’s books is hard even if they’re not controversial, so, no that won’t be happening.

Huh “submarine” rhymes with “guillotine” I just noticed

That it was broken is probably related to the internet connection being down, Outlook has the vaguest error messages possible so it won’t have told them anything useful. Maybe no error message at all, maybe just a little yellow ! icon. It’s designed to keep corporate IT people in jobs, and it works.
