I also have to say I’ve had only good experiences with my current insurance provider (Amica) but I also pay a little more. My mom got an at fault accident in my car she borrowed when her car was in the shop and it was handled without complaint nor did they raise my rates.
But you’re still right about a lot of others. I’m almost certain GEICO or Progressive would have raised mine. I wish it was regulated such that my experience is the mandatory norm.
Me singing Pop Goes The Weasel to my kids. You know the timing.
I’ll reluctantly back you up since I feel like you’re right, and while I also have eyes over my back at times, I don’t mind those in-between images because yes, I’m not going to click the NSFW ones in front of my family but I can easily shrug a half naked anime girl or something because it’s the Internet and that exists. And besides, I can appreciate a well drawn image, lewd or otherwise.
Plus, while I’ve got a young daughter, but if any one actually goes outside, you’re going to see worse just on a billboard somewhere. Or if you’re terminally online, you’ll also see it in ads. As far as I’m concerned it’s about as hard to avoid as someone saying fuck. I’ll just have that conversation when I get there.
Sorry those who have stuck up jobs, though. The ones most likely to punish you because of an image are the ones you should most slack off during! Fuck those people, I hope we can move on to a tiered censorship system so everyone can just be happy and not fired over bullshit.
That is also how I read it lol, fuck this guy
Oh yeah, I remember hearing about this as a local-ish. He’s bum hurt about criminal justice reform in Cali (non violent offenders getting less or no jail time, that kinda thing). Makes this job “harder” he says.
It hasn’t been smooth sailing, mind you-- but it’s at least the government trying to do something about an overcrowded prison system.
Ah man I miss Giordano’s. A good reason to go back to Chicago again… Aside from all the other good reasons, anyway.
Ok, not necessarily my favorite but I want to shout out a Tandoori BBQ Chicken pizza I had the other day. It was like a standard BBQ chicken pizza (which, admittedly stretches the definition of pizza) and throws Indian food on it.
My favorite right now is also somewhat blasphemous; I fancy a good spicy pepperoni square pizza, done up Detroit style (but marketed Sicilian). Buttery, crispy crust, truly splendid.
Quick edit: y’all are also splendid. Great tastes all around!
All, 6 hours (or 12 hours if I sleep).
I like being forced into All by the smallness. I didn’t realize I like Star Trek and D&D memes as much as I do. And if you go far enough, there’s porn there, too!
Haha, yeah, such a funny joke… n-no reason to think we really have emotions. Nope, everything’s A-OK. So funny. Yup.
Can’t even enjoy a good video game, save files ain’t saving.
Aside from their defense response, are skunks generally chill animals? I never thought about it but I wonder how well they get along with humans if domesticated (or at least, raised in captivity).
Isn’t that a reason to use the more current term “unhoused?”
If it makes you feel better, I don’t particularly hate an outgroup (like reddit) and I’m not really here for that reason (although I like the app options here too). Maybe that’s a minority view, but hate is just too emotionally draining for me. Maybe I stick around because those Trek and Linux nerds won me over, haha.
But yeah, maybe if you like hearing folks over at Lemmygrad (or even… Hexbear?!) federation is still your best bet because you’ll never get that on the more mainstream sources. If it’s a bad experience, maybe you need to tweak your approach. Just brainstorming though, I really don’t know the ideal platform for open discourse.
I’m not sure of better alternatives, only different. Mastodon or even Threads might be your solution. I also took a look at the comment history to get a sense of what you mean and I think I get it since I also get a fair share of negative interactions.
I think it’s actually because of Lemmy’s size that you get some pretty fringe views on here. Heck, if anything, the diversity you seek might mostly be all the views in-between that get drown out by the loudest fringe views. I’m sure there plenty of us lurking, since it’s so exhausting engaging with lemmings at times. I’m by no means a moderate, but simply trying to defend a news source as legitimate can feel like a disheartening chore.
Anyway, I don’t really know where to go for that and if you find out, I’d love to know. I don’t necessarily agree with you on your views, whatever they may be, but I certainly can agree that we need a little wider range of views (and perhaps a bit more civility when someone expresses a different perspective).
I was about to say the same thing. IKEA going hard lately.
Are we min/maxing our answers? Lol
25, maybe 30.
Your brain doesn’t finish developing until around that point, and it’s the part that helps you control your thoughts and emotions (prefrontal cortex). There are no other advantages after 30, though, and the development been 25 and 30 isn’t as vast as 18 to 25.
That said, I’ve been blessed with a middle aged 40 year old body since I was 12, so meh. (And really, I should have been given “most likely to do his taxes on time” title in the yearbook.)
Ah yes, I remember now. Nerf darts are actually derivative of plastic arrows heads that were dated over hundreds of thousands of years ago. The design is neigh indistinguishable from that of our ancestors’ nerf arrows.
It was actually the Etruscans. But common misconception…
It’s even worse if you consider that it’s still offensive to Photoshop that on her even if she was Native American.
