If you’re looking for excuses to go out that isn’t drinking at bars - Look into book clubs, silent book readings, art classes and board game meetups…
Most of my friends are not alcoholics, where I like drinking but hate the noise of bars. All of those events cater to all types!
I was reading about how creepy some patients would be with female nurses and ask for help holding up their penis to pee or other gross shit.
And the solution was to either arrange the pervert to get more intrusive tests since they obviously can’t hold their own dick, or send in the Murses.
What I’m saying is you call staff, be ready if a sweaty beast of a person who smells of stale corn chips is ready to help you get off.
Stupid shit like this is why I strongly believe in defunding states.
And to folks going, “Well now that Trump is the federal government, what if he defunds your state?”
Bro, my blue liberal state MAKES money to fund backwater dumb fucks like Alabama/Mississippi.
It was the fork of Poob after the original devs went crazy about sea creatures owning the government
I have kids. I wouldn’t trade them for the world. 90% of the time, they’re fine. The other 10%, I’m so angry but I can’t be angry for long because they didn’t do anything I didn’t do as a kid.
Hard to say if I regret anything. Too young and I would have struggled financially, nor was I mature enough. Too old and I would have struggled to keep up.
You’re going to have a divide here. There’s people who REALLY hate the idea of kids. Then you have the crazy-ass breeder religious folks who are so judgemental. Asking for validation from the internet about kids is silly imo. Everyone has a motive.
Rather than ask friends, family, strangers on the internet… Treat it like a lifestyle change. Read books about parenting. If that doesn’t align with you, then you have your answer.
I need one of those “where do you draw the line” memes but with the balls and penis
(me eyeing some Elden Ring beasts all hornily)
"Oh my bad, my bad …
B for bomb. T for twin towers. N for nine eleven was a inside job."
Here you go chief! And so the withdrawal begins!
Wait what?!
Why is Italians… When it’s Americans… I’m so confused!
Me working with small businesses to switch off of Instagram
That particular one doesn’t have the same energy to it, especially one where the conversation is so heated.
Right? If Ada was banning on vibes, be ready to get that Lemmy.world banning because of a bad roll of the dice.
I don’t keep up with Lemmy drama.
What’s up with Midwest social?
There needs to be a one-pager because every week there seems to be a new one.
There are home users of Microsoft 365?
I’m not shaming but I kinda am. Like WTF is wrong with you? You pay for free shit.
Office employees don’t get to choose.
Key word is “some”. And it’s not someone, it’s a whole group of people. I was part of it.
There’s still a lot missing. It was only because when geocities was going to get deleted, a large group of web scrapers pulled together to grab as much as possible.
Then, we manually combined all of them to try to piece together this internet history.
Things not crawled are gone. Things geocities have already been deleted before the announcement is gone.
The worst part is Yahoo gave the heads up. Most hosting companies don’t. And many delete behind the scenes, like Photobucket if you don’t log in for a long time. Or forums when they stop paying the bills.
So when outreach workers from a Baltimore anti-violence program offered to help him stay safe and leave the streets behind, he didn’t necessarily have high expectations.
Two years later, Grant has an apartment and a full-time job with the city’s Department of Public Works. He recently started his own business that provides cleaning, landscaping and junk removal services. He plans to hire other young men from his old neighborhood to show them what is possible with hard work.
It’s very newsworthy to share about how everything goes to shit.
I remember right out of high school, Columbine happened, Rodney King was still fresh and the fast erosion of American freedom with Bush & TSA & immigrants. Combined with growing up in the ghetto and living off food stamps (if you are lucky) made it feel like life was incredibly hostile.
And all it took was some really kind people to show me what’s possible if I work hard at something and push forward.
These are good initiatives.
Currently reading The Dawn of Everything.
Next on my list is Hunt, Gather, Parent.
Same. I read these and it gets so surreal, I need to share it.
Dunno if it’s like kids eating tidepods where a few did it and now it’s a national meme, or if this is just the deep basements of Tumblr.
