Happy Lemmy-versary!

I’m happy to provide material aid to my community as long as I don’t have to talk to every single person 😆

Socialist principles include accommodating everyone, and that also means people with lower social batteries :)

I dream of a world where electric based public transit is the norm but I live in red state hell that I’m too poor to leave :’)

I’m hoping to at least make my next car a hybrid though

Yes

“Turns out I didn’t graduate after all” nightmares love to haunt me during particularly stressful times

That’s fundamentally wrong; the hands did not cross but rather land in emphasis on either side of one’s crotch to show the audience, precisely, what to “suck”

My family calls MicroCenter “the toy store” for that very reason.

Adding to the other commenters’ fantastic explanations, some minor tips:

Spices: basil, oregano, a quarter handful of bay leaves, thyme. Cover the whole pot with a generous layer of each, then stir in. If it gets too acidic, add a tiny dash of sugar. Beyond that is chef’s creativity, make it your own.

Time: A decent sauce is 3ish hours. Great sauces are all-day sauces. The best sauces are all-day sauces that are re-simmered for half an hour or so the next day.

Extra: Homemade sauce stores really well. Toss leftovers in a container in the freezer. Will last you a couple months at least.

“Energy” is typically heuristic shorthand for “overall patterns of moods, attitudes, and behavior.”

If someone’s behaving differently towards you (general “you” here), regardless of it having to do anything with their relationship to you, you’re going to pick up on it largely subconsciously.

Because the human brain works on shortcuts and said subconscious processing, it typically translates to “idky just vibes I guess” even though it’s a lot of pattern recognition and social calculations.

Furries are the backbone of a healthy digital ecosystem. Not only from them creating and signaling generally inclusive spaces, but also the venn diagram overlap between furries and software developers is not small lol

Big + little = funny

I can’t be the only one who thought this was a woman/femme-leaning OP who wants to make the space more accommodating for their male/masc-leaning partner?

The crime of being a dissident or simply not wanting to be advertised to constantly

Yay free duck

Easy street.

God I miss the city.

Not the snow, but definitely the city. And the food.

What? I had a PS1 and PS2, and 9/11 is one of my earliest memories. ‘08 was also childhood suckery.

Covid + PedOTUS is a separate generation.

If he pisses off the right people he could still end up under a pedophile’s backyard tbf

Goo-gone is petroleum based and will likely dissolve/damage the plasticky material the backpack is made of unfortunately. Natural oil + warm damp washcloth followed by a hair dryer (on low) would be a better bet though

No lol just poking fun at my own communities :) similar to the “Judean People’s Front” sketches in Monty Python’s Life of Brian.
