My fifth grader is going to go through his “human growth and development” series this spring in school, and they’ve stopped separating them by gender and everyone is all in the same classroom. Very different than when I did it in the mid-90s. It’s especially good because there’s kid at school who is nonbinary and I know of at least one other who is questioning.

I’ve seen so many attempts at justification for that one online but I can’t help but think that those people just don’t want to admit that they’re wrong.

Haha I think about the well-adjusted part all the time. Definitely hand-waviness on the part of Disney for that one!

When we first introduced my dog, my young cat, about 2 years old at the time I think, somehow managed to literally climb the wall and perch six feet up with her feet against each wall at a corner. I’m still not sure how she did it and I almost don’t trust my memory except it was seared in because I was so in shock.

I guess I just wish my boobs were smaller.

lol we have jeans with zipper flies too. Wearing some right now!

Your buddy’s boobs probably aren’t sexualized like women’s boobs are. It’s not just nipples. And there are plenty of other reasons that women wear bras: lift, shape, and believe it or not, even comfort for some of us who are pretty large.

I mean… wasn’t race kind of the Nazis’ whole thing?

How can you boycott a company when you already bought their product six years ago and weren’t planning on replacing it any time soon? Asking for a friend…

I love me some birdies 🦉

Thank you, yes! That’s why I came to Lemmy in the first place after all. I get the altruism of the fediverse but ultimately what I wanted out of the one social media platform I use is niche communities and memes. I was really upset to lose Reddit; it had become a major part of my screen time. And yes, it totally got shitty. So I’m happy to have a reasonable substitute in .world.

What’s a “snug” in this context? When it listed it as a feature, my American brain thought it was an adjective but clearly they mean a type of room.

Chestnut-backed chickadee, actually

Ah where I live, Alamo food is still way better than any other in-seat option.

For real though, my husband has eczema mostly concentrated on his hands and they get real torn up in the winter especially. If it gets really bad, we’ll get him a pack of latex gloves, he slathers on Vaseline and then I help him get the gloves on, and then he sleeps that way. It’s the only thing that manages to make a significant difference. It’s not comfy but sometimes his fingers bleed so we gotta do something.

The ones I’m talking about are just bumper stickers. What’s the difference between a learner and a new driver in your jurisdiction?

Student driver or new driver stickers on cars. I swear 20% of the cars on the road in my area have them lately. That said, I do actually think in this case that there has been an increase in adoption of these stickers (possibly to try and hand waive bad behavior of the driver?) but when I first mentioned it to my husband, he blamed it on Baader-Meinhof.

Good luck with the potential job!

I had a good friend who was a super fan (she has since rewritten history and denies it but she had a bookshelf—read: shrine—devoted to them) and she made me watch the first one with her. I didn’t know about the whole sparkle thing so when that happened I burst out laughing and she got pouty, lol. Still love her.

It’s great! I’ve picked up sewing now (knitting got too easy after nearly twenty years…) and the first major disappointment is how there is nothing like Ravelry for sewing. There are major pattern companies, indie pattern companies, review sites, blogs, etc. but they’re not all in one central location and it bums me out. Oh well.
