If you haven’t already come across them, you should check out some of the communities over on https://slrpnk.net/, we’ve got stuff from urban development and farming to transport, tech, and aesthetics :)

I miss the days when you could get chicken egg size ones 4 for $1.

Don’t think that size even exists anymore… haven’t seen them in a long time.

I’m glad Costco has leadership that seemingly understands the value and responsibility of loyalty, and is taking the union seriously.

A rising tide in this case lifts all ships. I hope the union gets a good contract. For everyone.

If you request the desktop version it shows it fine. I’ve been using that workaround for a long time now, because every link was saying I needed to log in or use the app or whatever.

Hmm… turning up my screen brightness, I think you’re right… which is super weird, since the real thing was right there the whole time…

This is honestly a big part of why I avoid most fandom stuff.

It’s largely sex and relationship stuff, and I’m not interested in either of those aspects of the media I like. It’s mostly tolerable in the original media as long as it’s not egregious, but it can be a massive turnoff if it’s overdone or overemphasized. Even worse when the few characters one can relate to are, well, made unrelatable…

And the actual creators are bad enough about doing this; they do the same thing with most strong female characters who either explicitly or implicitly don’t want relationships or kids, only to end up falling in love or pregnant in season 3… It’s frustrating to have the rug pulled so often…

2 is Jasmin from Aladdin when Jafar is the sultan and she’s a slave but idk the other one.

I feel like there’s a scene, probably in season 1, where Tucker asks tex the questions on the left…

As for the doc/omega part, I can’t place it but I’m pretty sure you’re right that it happened.

The screenshots themselves are actually from the same scene toward the end of season 2, where donut stumbles across doc in a cave and overhears omega talking and doc talking back. None of the dialogue in the post image is in that scene tho.

They probably know.

However, college students (at least in the US) usually don’t know how to handle being intoxicated. This being the first time they are allowed and all.

That’s why the dorm popcorn alarm (aka fire alarm) goes off in the middle of the night, not early evening when people would be watching movies and such.

I had a conversation with someone the other day about getting a used EV. I want one (tho the spy-on-wheels aspect isn’t something I’m fond of), and specifically I want a used one because they are stupid cheap.

I’m convinced that people are actively trying to talk themselves out of getting one rather than doing even the basic look into the whole thing…

Person I was talking to was like “yeah but if the batteries go you’d be spending $28k to replace them!”

Dumbfuck, I’m not going to spend more than 10k on this used EV, which is only a few grand more than my current car is supposedly worth (which I’ll easily save in gas in just a few years)… I’m not going to replace the batteries if it’s expensive. I’d replace the car with another cheap used one, and trade in the busted battery one.

That’s to say nothing of the fact that If the battery goes within roughly a decade from manufacture, probs under warranty, and if not, well my ICE vehicle wouldn’t be worth shit for trade-in if the engine cracked or something, so what’s the difference?

I was briefly hopeful, and immediately double-checked the comm because we can’t have hope around these parts… :(

There used to be, but it was mostly men commenting, and mostly men upvoting, which drowns out any actual women’s voices that may have been there.

Pretty sure all the woman-focused subs have shut down.

I don’t really think there’s anything that can be done other than policing your own and letting the platform grow.

It’s a whole vibe thing, not just obvious stuff.

For example, whenever there were questions aimed at women (hey ladies, what’s your hair routine? Sort of thing), it’s nothing but a bunch of men spouting off about what their wives or girlfriends do, and maybe a few actual women, but their comments always ended up buried. Nobody actually wants that “the woman in my life does this, I think…” sort of input at all, except other men (which unfortunately is the vast majority of the platform, so those “as a man” comments get heavily upvoted, even when they are obviously full of complete shit). It drowns out the few female voices that actually are around. And if you correct some dude in a post for women voices, about something men typically know nothing about, you’ll get heavily downvoted for it. Not at all welcoming.

I know we have some strong transfem comms, and I’m all for it because all women are women, but the experience of those women is wildly different from cis women, and a lot of the memes and stuff coming from those comms are sort of… cis-excluding and often very off-putting. Which is sort of the only fem representation on here.

It’s just not friendly for women. And so so many things need to change before it really is.

Which is wild considering the spice trades of the… (according to the internet, prehistory through modernity, so that’s a thing…)

I have to assume that 1950s housewives were so thoroughly drugged up that they couldn’t tell the difference…

I know that they made everything in jello/aspic because gelatin was formerly a luxury, like sugar and basically any spices, so they went a bit batshit when they got cheap access…

No, but it also isn’t calorie-neutral, or calorie-reducing like fad diets claim…

Not a veggie in sight, so your whole digestive motility was based on alcoholic diarrhea. (Been there…)

So fashionable to shit yourself in public in white dresses.

I used to be the same but then I sobered up somewhat and now I’m only 10% wine. (depending on the day… usually 0%! Sometimes 90%…)

I only mention Lemmy as a caution, like what to avoid, while I’m mentioning other fediverse social media…

Because I’m a woman and most of the people I know who want social media alternatives are also women, and I’m not subjecting them to this shitshow. I like them too much to bring them here.

Fun, lighthearted, fact: the term blowing smoke originates from an old drowning resuscitation practice, in which blowing smoke up the butt of a drowning person was supposed to bring them around.

Obviously it didn’t work, but people still did it for a long time in spite of that, and thus “blowing smoke up my ass” as a phrase to mean being intentionally dishonest.

So, are all the shows that are canceled without an ending also destroyed? Cuz I mean most of those aren’t even canceled for a reason, like this is (other than money).

Sure, they aren’t story-complete, but they aren’t gone, they are still available to consume, as are the first 7 releases of this series.

Just treat it like a cliffhanger. Lots of stories end that way on purpose.
