I’m more of a sewer than a knitter or crocheter, but I’ve heard AI patterns for knitting and crochet are really bad online now (and an utter waste of yarn and time).

Honestly that is probably less dangerous than the regular streets of SF. Never felt more like I was about to die in a cab than I did riding in SF. Dude seemed to know what he was doing but it felt like a roller coaster.

SFG’s marketing director said that as things stand farmers in Iceland are not managing to keep up with surging consumer demand, but said she hopes supply will be back to normal “in a week or so”.

Wow, sounds serious.

Ms Sveinsdóttir from the SFG also expressed some scepticism, suggesting other factors were at play. Some cucumber farmers replace their cucumber plants at this time of year, which are not yet producing large amounts, she said.

In addition to this, schools are returning from the summer holidays, which puts additional pressure on supplies.

“Everything is happening at the same time,” Ms Sveinsdóttir observed, but said the social media trend remained one of the main contributing factors.

“This is the first time we have experienced something like this,” Ms Sveinsdóttir said, adding that had the TikTok trend become popular earlier in the summer, “when the [cucumber] production was in full blast” and the shortage would not have been noticeable.

Wow, the Chinese propaganda is so sophisticated! They must have known about all these factors in advance to be able to minorly inconvenience people who want a salad for a whole week. 🙄

Someone thinking that you kind of look like a Joe Rogan bro until they get to know you is not what I would personally classify as harm.

The best time to start regularly exercising and eating at least moderately healthy food is 10 years ago, the second best time is now.

I’m convinced this is the explanation behind any success these people have trying to pull this shit. Straight up “I’m not paid enough to deal with this.”

This, except also a quarter for an Aldi shopping cart.

Is there a new reddit influx for some reason? Or is this just in general?

If you don’t want to give a random site your information (good practice), scroll down and select your state from the drop down menu and it’ll direct you to your state government’s official website to check your registration. I actually had to enter less info than vote.org was asking for to check mine, lol.

lloviznar - to drizzle in Spanish. Also feels nice to say.

Telling myself I’ll go to the farmer’s market and then not doing it.

Have you tapped on the circle with your initials/profile pic to change your name there when you open Settings -> Apple ID? nm I’m dumb, this only changes your profile pic

It sounds like you’re worried enjoying activities and having personality traits typically associated with women means you may be trans, which could negatively affect your family life if you transitioned. I mean this in the nicest way possible: my therapist would probably call this catastrophizing. It’s coming from a kind place (you don’t want to potentially upset your family), but it’s several hypotheticals stacked on top of each other. Don’t borrow trouble, as my grandma would say.

Nobody is going to be able to give you a test to tell you with 100% confidence you aren’t trans, but if you’ve always felt comfortable with being a man and your anatomy, there is no reason to believe you will suddenly want to be a woman. Feminine men are no less men than masculine men. Some feminine men are even trans men! Being a man (gender identity) isn’t the same thing as acting masculine (gender expression).

So, all that said, what made me realize I’m trans is finding out trans men exist. Seriously, that was all it took. Before that I only knew trans women existed and thought I wasn’t “allowed” to be trans. Within maybe a month of thinking on it and reading accounts from other trans men, I knew I was trans.

The tweet is misrepresenting what Section 377 is. It is a law against all sex that was “against the order of nature”, and was used to persecute queer people. The anti-gay sex part was ruled unconstitutional in 2018.

I also can’t find any news sources saying the Modi government is even considering completely getting rid of the law, as Indian conservatives are generally in support of it. What is the source for this?

Well, you wouldn’t know it from the article, but the protestors had a specific goal: get the university to divest its investments in Intel due to their close ties to Israel. The threat of it being fucking expensive and disruptive if they don’t do that is one of many possible tactics they had available.

Whether or not that’s a good idea or an effective one is a completely different discussion, but they’re not doing it because they hate books. They’re doing it because the books cost a lot to replace and it’s very disruptive to business as usual.

If it makes you feel any better, in sections where current information changes rapidly (law, technology, medicine, etc) these books were destined to be discarded and destroyed within a few years anyway. Universities throw away or recycle a ton of books every year, often because literally nobody wants them.

It’s not what I would have chosen to do, but I also can’t really fault teenagers and young adults being a little over the top about an ongoing genocide that in their view their university is indirectly financially benefiting from.

“Look at this thumb!”

Okay, let’s pretend it’s a thumb and not some kind of concretion. Why does it have more nails at the base of the thumb?? What fuckin anatomy is going on there? This relies entirely on you glancing at it for half a second on Facebook and seeing the right trigger words to not look at it any harder.

How is this different from the guided access mode?

Seems like it would be a great quip when someone’s being an ass. “Go rake a forest.”

I’ve said my piece, you just seem to want to be mad. Peace. ✌️

Lmao, I’m at a stage of my life and on the types of medications that would make wanting to masturbate a lot a welcome change.

Masturbation (in private obviously) is a neutral act. Anyone trying to characterize it as inherently good or bad is suspect. Anyone trying to sell you a cure for something mainstream society tells you is shameful, doubly so.
