Are you my cat? She’s actually a glue junky.
When I order something online and open the box, she doesn’t hop into the box like a normal cat.
Noooo, she licks the packaging tape, closes her eyes and purrs. We can’t even leave Scotch tape unlocked anymore.
She also likes to drink beer. And soapy bath water, the dirtier the better.
Maybe it’s because she’s a rescue. Sometimes I wonder what she’s been through.

I can just destroy Capitalism

“We are only following orders.”

You’re drawing a parallel here, between deleting a comment on a server and what the Nazis did during the Holocaust.
Fuck this, I’m out.

No

Yeah, as soon as the bridge was finished, a truck tried to drive over it to take a shortcut.
They had to fix the bridge, fined the driver, and I believe built a barrier.

I’ve never seen anyone on Feddit write something like that.
Aside from that, it’s really simple:

• Feddit is hosted in Germany
• Germany has laws that prohibit saying things like “Death to Israel” or “From the river to the sea”.
• If someone posts something like that on Feddit, the admins have to remove it, because they are responsible for what’s on their servers.
• If they don’t, they risk legal action, including takedown of the instance, seizing the servers, and prison.

If you don’t like seeing an instance with these limitations on Lemmy, there’s an easy solution: Block it!

Can you explain what instance muckraking is? Never heard the term.
Thanks.

My home town built a bicycle-only bridge with a road surface that’s heated to slightly above freezing in winter.
It’s the shortest connection between 2 major districts:

There’s also a bicycle tunnel under the old town:

In America, a birth in hospital costs $18000 on average.

Is a bigger bulge a competitive advantage in this, too?

“…so you’d better not ask for a raise!” is the unspoken addition to that quote.

My last boss was a bit like this.
He owned a small company with 7 employees, paid himself less than he paid us, and was in more debt than his house was worth.
So on paper he had less income and a lower net worth than me.

But he still lived in a big house while I was renting.
And the company was growing as well.
I still wouldn’t want to trade places with him.
I like my 30 days off plus sick days, where I can turn my phone off.

At least 12.

Since when is there a right to have your code merged?

While I agree with your point, she played a child prostitute whose virginity was sold to the highest bidder.

She was abused for nude modelling and movie roles that sexualized her, including fully nude sex scenes, from age 11 on.
The movies were shown in theatres and on TV. Mainstream magazines published the pictures.
Fucked up times.

He sucks at football, though.

New 3-2-1 Backup strategy just dropped:
3 backups, on 2 different sites, 1 of which you can access.

The fediverse is more like different countries. Technically you can travel to every other country with your passport and talk to the people there.
But the people running the countries like to put up border controls so you can’t go to countries that don’t align with yours politically, and some ban you just because you’ve visited a country they don’t like in the past.

3 guys are hiking through the woods when they find a lamp.

One of them picks it up, rubs it, and out pops a Genie.
It shouts “You have finally freed me after all these years, so I’ll grant each one of you 3 wishes.” The first guy immediately blurts out “I want a billion dollars.” POOF, he’s holding a printout that shows his account balance is now in fact 1,000,000,003.50
The second man thinks for a bit, then says “I want to be the richest man alive.” POOF, he’s holding papers showing his net worth is now well over 500 billion.
The third guy thinks even longer about his wish, then says “I want my left arm to rotate clockwise for the rest of my life.” POOF, his arm starts rotating.
The Genie tells them it’s time for their second wish.
First guy says: “I want to be married to the most beautiful woman on earth.” POOF, a stunning beauty wraps herself around his arm.
Second guy says “I want to be good-looking and charismatic, so I can have every girl I want.” POOF, his looks change and the first guy’s wife immediately starts flirting with him.
Third guy says “I want my right arm to rotate counter-clockwise until I die.” POOF, now both his arms are rotating, in opposite directions.
The genie tells them to think very carefully about their third wish.
First guy does, and after a while says “I never want to become sick or injured, I want to stay healthy until I die.” POOF, his complexion improves, his acne is gone and his knees don’t bother him any more.
Second guy says “I never want to grow old. I want to stay 29 forever.” POOF, he looks younger already.
Third guy smiles triumphantly and says “My last wish is for my head to nod back and forth.” POOF, he’s now nodding his head and still flailing his arms around. The genie wishes them good luck, disappears, and the men soon go their separate ways.

Many years later they meet again and chat about how things have been going. First guy is ecstatic: “I’ve invested the money and multiplied it many times over, so me and my family will be among the richest of the rich pretty much forever. My wife is a freak in the sheets, and I’ve never gotten so much as a cold in all these years.”
Second guy smiles and says “Well, I built charities worldwide with a fraction of my wealth, I’m still the richest guy alive and also revered for my good deeds. I haven’t aged a day since we last met, and yes, your wife is pretty wild in bed.”
Third guy walks in, flailing his arms around and nodding his head, and says:

“Guys, I think I fucked up.”
