Wow. I listened to this album on repeat endlessly in the aughts. Never thought I’d be struggling to remember who made it, because this band used to be in my top five favorites

He’s looking at her hair, instead of meeting her eyes. I’m an eyeball avoider myself, but that’s usually not a good idea when trying to make a good first impression lol

I can do that today when I talk to management about something else. I doubt they’ll do anything, they’d have to tear out some curb to make it accessible. Guests aren’t actually allowed to park on the property, but that isn’t something that should apply to people with mobility problems

One of my neighbors has a disabled parent that baby sits for them. I get so fucking annoyed when they’ve managed to park in “my” disabled parking spot if I go out for an errand. It’s stupid, and I feel like an asshole for feeling annoyed. There are two disabled spots for my building (roughly 48 units), and I would rather push my walker across the whole complex than park in the other spot, because it “belongs” to another neighbor who has less mobility than I do. We don’t have assigned parking and I kinda hate it lol

I think that you should talk to your doctor about your concerns. My doctor prescribed a UVB light that I use for a short period every day and it seems to be helping quite a lot with my muscle pain and vitamin D levels

Edited to remove quote, because they were banned

Wow, sexist, racist and Islamophobic all at once.

There are several women just in this thread telling you that being objectified while trying to compete in a sport is a problem. No one is saying that people can’t dress sexy when they want to, we’re saying it’s a problem when it’s forced on us and expected of us to comply

There are downsides. Not all women are beautiful, and quite a lot of us lose our beauty as we age. I can tell you first hand that aging has resulted in a significant change in how people treat me, and that alone is enough to cause social anxiety

Also, the expectation that we be beautiful or maintain our figures is oppressive as fuck. Think about how hard life is just trying to work and pay bills, then add the time and financial cost for beauty routines and gym. Some people get around that by making those two things their hobbies, but that isn’t gong to work for most people

I hate celery but love cilantro.

Weirdly, after I had covid cilantro tasted like perfume and I couldn’t stand it. I was very worried that it would forever be a ruined flavor, because it does definitely overpower food. Thankfully it’s gone back to normal lol

28

I should add more x’s to my name lol

Assuming Lemmy is still around by then, the front page will have a cat on it.

I think you mean Jainism? It isn’t Hindu.

They also have a very strict vegetarian diet, they won’t even eat root vegetables so burrowing insects aren’t disturbes

My physical therapists love to say “motion is lotion”, moving is what keeps our joints moving smoothly

My service dog has some pit bull ancestry (roughly 16%), I know this because I did a DNA test on her. She is none of the things you listed, despite being part of the scariest years of my life that involved actual domestic violence against me. And even after we were attacked by a GSP on a walk last year, she has not shown those tendencies you mentioned. She’s also very gentle with the impolite tomcat I adopted recently.

I doubt most pet owners can rise to the level of training she and I have done. And service training is not a “boot camp then done” thing, it’s continued throughout their working lives. But they absolutely need the temperament for service first.

And just for fun: she also has Rottweiler, GSD and Chow Chow ancestry. She was donated to me through a reputable program that screens shelter puppies for the temperament needed for service.

I always thought that part of the song was about domestic violence, and she’s covering up bruises. I guess it could also be covering up injection bruises

I feel like Spotify’s recommendations have seriously gone downhill in the last two or three years. Most of the new music I actually like I’ve found in music comms on Lemmy

Right, I kind of expected that prominence to encourage carrying enough security to protect him. I think he skewed that a bit and thought he was untouchable because of his prominence.

The other two are just as insane, but think they have Trump’s ear despite not commanding anything near Kirk’s audience

He’s famous for creating a conservative organization while in college, called Turning Point USA. The org puts out a lot of smug memes to appeal to young conservative folks, so naturally people made fun of them and counter-memed.

He’s said a lot of very vile things, like “Black women don’t have the same kind of brain processing power” (paraphrased) when talking about how bad DEI is.

My BFF hadn’t heard of him either, but they curate their feeds to be mostly uplifting fluff, and they aren’t terminally online like I am lol. I was kind of surprised that he was the influencer that got shot though, I might have expected someone like Loomer or Fuentes

The original singer of BNL left for mental health reasons, and imo the band never recovered.

But also, I agree with you xD

The best hugging pillow I ever had was a ridiculously large plushie, because the fill density was different. I haven’t figured out the head pillow yet, because sometimes as a side sleeper I try to hug those, too. I’ve mostly landed on ignoring the shaped memory foam pillows, because even if it says “for side sleepers” it usually feels better using as a traditional sleeper
