Oh, double post but I also remembered there was a band in the mid 2010s called Jawbreaker Reunion. I imagine a lot of fans of Jawbreaker did a double take when they saw signs for like “Jawbreaker Reunion tonight!”

A sort of country blues song about how my cat would ignore my friend until they went into the bathroom to poop, and then the cat was all about hanging out and being affectionate.

“You only love me when I’m pooping…”

I’m told the band No Men were originally going to call themselves Aerosmith 2, but decided against it

Some of the lemmy.world moderators come down hard on “calling for violence”. It’s kind of an eye roller

I’ve read that if you want to kill someone, the best way to do it is to hit them with your car. The authorities will just be like “Oh, well, he was walking and you hit him what a terrible accident. Well, couldn’t be helped.”

Maybe Kraft has a murder fetish. Probably he’s just a scumbag, though.

That management and leadership are smart, visionary, people without whom everything would fall apart.

It doesn’t matter what my line of work is. Management is mostly out of touch idiots everywhere.

“We need to redesign the web page to be more modern! Get me a big hero image and an image carousel!”

“Customers are complaining about how they can’t save their search settings. Maybe we should do something about that?”

“No that’s not a priority”

I don’t know how difference france is from the US, but I generally believe people are kind of ignorant and thoughtless. These will pull in people. People click on “Four things that are secretly unhealthy - #3 will SHOCK you” chum all the time.

I mean, that’s kind of been the case for like all of recorded history

Many people don’t want to date someone destitute or with poor financial prospects. That’s just going to be hardship, and there are many other people that are probably just as good a fit without that problem.

Similarly, someone who makes way more money than you can add tension. They might be like “oh let’s go out for dinner!” to someplace expensive, and you don’t have the budget for it. Are they going to pay for it? Are they going to resent that? Are they going to pressure you into paying? Their expectations and standards may not align.

Also, if the relationship is going to be long term most people assume there will be some merging of finances.

Some jobs are also just gross. I wouldn’t date someone who worked at Facebook. I wouldn’t date someone who worked for Fox News. Your job 100% can reflect your values and personality.

This is an interesting point. They’re going to get the final search string though, so does it matter much if when I search “baked potato recipe” they also get requests for [baked, baked potato, baked potato recipe] (assuming they denounce/split on space/etc) ?

I started using recently. No complaints.

Does anyone know what you can put for the “suggestions API url” in Firefox? It’s optional so I left it blank.

Time for the sartre quote again.

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

The assholes know what they are doing. They know they are hypocritical. They don’t care. You cannot engage in conservatives/anti-semites/fascists/et al with reason because they will not argue in good faith. They are bad people. Selfish, fearful, people.

I’m just going to assume these are republicans and furthermore call them scumbags, hypocrites, and heretics.

Matthew 6

1“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

2“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

5“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

I don’t know how anyone takes them seriously. They should be laughed out of the room and shunned by polite society. But there are a lot of bullshit “christian” churches peddling nonsense, I guess.

For some reason getting a passport is like $200, plus whatever it takes to get the required supporting documents (eg: birth certificate, the photo). That’s not much by many metrics, but a lot of people in the US just don’t have $200 to spend.

No one’s going to rally around creepy Mike Johnson’s corpse. No one cares about the guy Luigi (allegedly) shot.

I think they’re making a joke (what with the /s), but some people will say that since “Nazi” is derived from “national socialist” it’s a form of socialism. Usually people making that claim are arguing in bad faith and/or are grossly misinformed.

Even republicans don’t want fascism.

They don’t? How can you tell?

A metroidvania a la celeste, cave story, untitled story, hollow knight, nine sols, guacamelee? That’s a genre I like that’s pretty popular. Side scroller for that kind of game is well understood.

Without more information about what your goals are, I’d do side scrolling. Assuming it’s like a platformer. If you’re making like an RPG or tactical combat game, probably top down.

Possessive is normally done with an apostrophe. The dog’s toy. The apartment’s lobby.

But when possessive goes on the pronoun “it”? No apostrophe.

Look out for the monster. Its fangs are sharp.

If you put an apostrophe, that’s for “it is”.

This bothers me slightly. There’s history illinonating why it happened, but I don’t like it.
