i mean, having an extra pair of arms coming off your boobs could be useful

no, they’re just swords

skubba

yeah it’s not “jraphics”

very little if any of what i said was subjective, and everything i said that was controversial has decades of data behind it. i don’t think you know what “subjective” means. maybe you would if you’d paid attention in public school

neither he nor anybody else here has called you a nazi, but if you’re so used to being called a nazi that you just assume anything you say is going to get you labeled as one, maybe you should have a think about why. if you met an asshole today, you met an asshole, but if you meet assholes all day every day, either you’re a proctologist or you’re the asshole.

anyway, to your point, the reason parents don’t get to decide how public school educates their kids is because kids need to learn about evolution in order to understand any of biology, they need to learn about american slavery in order to understand anything about why this country is the way it is, they need to learn about objectivity vs. subjectivity and how statistics work in order to detect when they’re being lied to, by, say, fox news, and they need to learn about how their own bodies work so that they don’t get and spread stds, don’t have unwanted pregnancies and drop out of college, don’t think they’re freaks if their gender or sexuality doesn’t fit neatly into one of the standard boxes, and do know what sexual abuse is and what to do if it happens to them. and parents claiming parents’ rights on education are always and only ever doing it because they want their kids to be ignorant on all of those subjects, with all the negative consequences that follow from that. and that was also something the nazis wanted, hence why they burned down and destroyed the work of the institute for sexual research, as well as a bunch of other stuff.

so yeah, i’m not going to call you a nazi, but i am going to say that the things you argue for align pretty closely with things the nazis argued for.

yeah and you won’t see that cause ya eyes too dang big

most people do have sex sometimes

hell yeah ✊

sometimes i get ads for like maternity stuff or jewelry or cars

i’m a guy with a vasectomy and not enough money for a car

I worked at a running shoe store for a while. If there was one thing that was a given, it was that no two feet are the same and no shoe will work for everybody.

I’m a huge fan of Altra. I wear their shoes to work and to run, and though I haven’t run as much in the last year or two, I’ve been biking a lot, so I’ve repeatedly been in their emails asking them to introduce some cycling shoes, or at least do a design collaboration with an established cycling shoe brand, so I don’t have to be stuck with the Scott ones I’ve been using, which are fine, but don’t have that Altra fit that I really like. I got several pairs of Altra running shoes when I worked at the store: some Escalantes, some Superiors, multiple pairs of Lone Peaks, some Torins, and even some Commutes, and I’ve been extremely happy with all of them. But I’m a relative minority among the set of people I worked with, because a large majority of my customers didn’t get along with them.

I don’t own any Crocs and don’t have any plans to, but your assistant does appear to be in the minority when it comes to them.

we’ll see who cancels who

where’s my seltzer, dale

“the cat pics community is posting too many cat pics >:(” lol

So what team does she ride for? Lidl-Trek need a big engine, what with van Dijk on maternity leave and all.

That’s certainly a valid and important question, but I’m not sure how relevant it is to the question of how Lemmy increases its operating revenue. If I’m living minimalist but my issue is I can’t sustainably afford housing, food, and healthcare, there’s no way to solve that problem without solving the fundamental issue of me not making enough money. My impression is that that is the main question facing Lemmy at this moment, and so that’s what I was focused on.

I suspect most financial advisors would tell you that managing money is what you do when you have some.

As in, some kind of “contributor” badge next to your username? That’s also definitely a good way to do it. Basically, if it makes donations visible on the community level, I think it’s a benefit.

If it was just built into the base software, then every instance would have the option available by default, no? And then it would just be a question of directing the money to the right place and displaying the relevant icon on the awarded post or comment.

I’m no software engineer, though, so it’s entirely possible everything I’m saying is total bollocks. Still, worth considering if we’re thinking about the long-term health of this place, IMO.

I bet if we stole the idea of reddit gold and allowed people to award comments and posts, but 1. no premium membership and 2. make it clear that the money is going to help keep the service running, that would bring in a lot of revenue without harming the community.
