SIGN ME UP

Queue that headline from 6 months ago, “Most Young Men Are Single. Most Young Women Are Not.” Hmmm I wonder who the women are dating? 😏

I wanna be a Mariner, but I’m totally a Tendi.

That makes sense. You’re definitely not alone in feeling like it’s getting bad. Like, it’s insane to me that conservative boomers are getting old and having health complications and still don’t want universal healthcare. They’ll vote against their best interests every time.

I hope you find support and understanding within your community, even if it’s not within your immediate family.

Health and housing are pretty important for survival, so it’s kinda understandable that you’re stressed out. Care to go into specifics? Why do you feel like you can’t express yourself?

The wonderful world of retail! 😂 But hopefully it’ll help me get back to where I want to be, which is going back to school to finish my bachelor’s in medical laboratory science.

Work! Just started a new job making more than my last one, woohoo.

In Mexico, a population of 23 million dogs has been estimated, with 70% of them classified as street dogs or stray dogs. Source

I hope they’re able to develop animal control programs soon to combat this.

As a result of the attacks, lemmyworld temporarily turned off open sign up and switched to an application process. I saw a comment asking if this made it more likely for beehaw to refederate. 😂 They only turned off open sign up because of the mass posting of CSAM on their instance, idk about y’all but that’s not exactly making me jump to refederate…

My mom is a lot like Lwaxana, and I relate to Troi entirely too much.

I know this is a few days old, but thinking about it again, I’m reminded of this clip I saw from Orange is the New Black. To summarize, the clip is a flashback to explain how Suzanne (“Crazy Eyes”) wound up in prison. She’s an autistic woman whose sister/caretaker leaves her alone for a weekend, without arranging alternative care, to go on a vacation. She befriends a child, who she seems to connect with easily as they are on a similar mental level, and the kid follows her home to hang out and play video games. After the child says it’s time for him to go home, she becomes upset, blocking the front door to prevent him leaving. He attempts to call 911 and she grabs the phone and hangs up, confused, telling him that he should only call 911 for emergencies. Panicked, the child attempts to crawl out a window to escape, accidentally falling to his death.

What would you say is more important here, intention or perception? I think it depends on who you are. For the child’s parents, perception matters more. Their child is dead. That Suzanne didn’t intend for it to happen is of little consolation. For Suzanne, maybe intention matters the most. For the courts, both matter; she’s proven herself unsafe to be around to the public, yet the fact she didn’t intend to cause harm is supposed to be taken into account too, perhaps for lighter sentencing. In a better world, she would be given help instead of incarcerated because of her intention, and perhaps her caretaker would be held partially responsible.

hopefully that will push for more denials to follow

The article says the next Fox station to seek license renewal won’t do so until 2028, so that’s a bummer.

They are both equally important. However, we tend to judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their behavior. Considering this, I think it’s important to continually try and understand the intentions of others, and consider how our actions might be interpreted by others.

Hmm, that’s not how they work in my state. You either pay 100% of the bail yourself, or you pay 10% to a bondsman and they cover the other 90%.

Does anyone know why he used a bail bond company? Seems weird. Does he really not have the $200,000?

Yeah, as if he’s the first engineer ever to lack common sense and be slow with social cues.

I just watched a video where a woman from Tennessee explained that every resident was required to get a new license plate that year, and that they had the choice between 2 standard options, the only difference being that one said “In God We Trust” and one didn’t. Oh, and the ones that had “In God We Trust” had the numbers come first. So for example, every “Christian” license plate reads 123 ABC, and every “atheist” plate reads ABC 123.

What the fuck?

Never heard it called a “bum-gun” before. Thank you for the mental image of someone pointing a supersoaker at their asshole. 😂

Sriracha mayo is really good to use, if you like Sriracha.
