Stamets publicly acknowledging me? I can feel my Lemmy clout growing!

Don’t worry, I fix

Because I just glanced at the picture while hiding my phone from customers and thought they were bees

What is it with European bakeries and bees? I’ve seen memes and stuff about it, and this one youtuber, a Vietnamese woman who’s German BF never shows his face, I can’t remember her name right now. She showed a bakery in Germany with bees everywhere. Why is this a thing?

I’m not sure if “Dharms” was a typo or a nickname, but that’s the first time I’ve gotten that, and I genuinely like it. Like, what a great nickname. Love it.

Said it before and I’ll say it again: just because you understand the magic doesn’t make it any less magical. A wizard may know the ins and outs of their spells, but they’re still spells. Our entire universal is fucking magical, we just happen to have a decent understanding of why (some) of it functions the way it does. Jiggle a quark here and another may jiggle the same way somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse, that’s fucking wild and magical and incredible, and just because we have some level of understanding behind the mechanics doesn’t make it not magic. It just makes it a hard magic system.

God I love them

Well that’s genuinely one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a looooooong time

Some of them want to use you

This is literally how my mom met her first husband

Absolutely

The content of this is weird AF (I get what it’s referencing), but I’d like to see more bardcore comics

I think it’s just poorly written pseudo-legalese, and it’s intended to mean that he will be unable to enjoy life in the future because of the psychological damage that poor is doing to him (unrealistic expectations and mental harm, et cetera).

While porn addiction and unrealistic ideas of beauty and sex are genuinely real things that happen, the way to prevent that is with frank, open discussions about sex and pornography, not trying to prevent your 14 year old from masturbating. I was a 14 year old boy at one point, and lemme tell you, nothing could stop me from masturbating. Nothing. It’s just not going to happen. Kids will find ways to find porn, and if somehow we completely do away with it entirely (again, won’t happen), they’ll find new ways, and they’ll read and write erotica or get into hentai or whatever. This woman is insane, Kansas is insane, and so are all the other states imposing this bullshit

Please don’t give Diogenes any ideas

Oh my God I completely forgot about those cam house videos I used to download from limewire

Iirc, they address both the knee thing and the clothes in the books. Skin tight clothing morphs with you, and I distinctly remember one conversation about the knees thing, but I couldn’t tell you which book it was (though, my buddy Goom probably can)

For about 10 years now my phone has been on do not disturb. Not just while I’m driving, but just always. The only exception to the DND is my mom, who until about a month ago when she passed, I was caregiving for, and genuinely needed to be able to get her calls regardless of what was going on. I don’t get notifications for anything, and I don’t see calls when they’re actually happening. Need me, send a text and I’ll see the little thing in the notification shade maybe. Lol.

Because I’m not caregiving for my mom anymore, I’m on the job hunt and have had to turn do not disturb off so if I get a call for an interview I can answer it. I hate it so much. Constant scam/spam calls, telemarketers, et cetera. It suuuucks. Obviously, it’s not the worst thing about all this, but it certainly doesn’t help matters

Like with most shows brought over from the UK, the us version lost a lot of it’s soul, but it builds it back up over the course of the first season. It can be a little silly sometimes, and it’s definitely it’s own little creature by now, but it’s actually pretty good. My mom loved it before she passed, and I quite like it.

You have no downvote on this comment (that I can see, anyway) and the urge to downvote it just for the hahas was quite strong. I won’t, because people apparently care about that stuff, but I just wanted to share that I used will power this night
