  memeoffice.

  didn’t think msoffice would be the easiest platform to build memes/diagrams on.

  I actually didn’t even know office could build something that complicated.

  thanks

  huh, i much prefer libreoffice to msoffice, i can’t even think of a reason why anyone could prefer msoffice.

  Im a but gobsmacked at the notion.

  what do you use the drawing for?

  thank you I was wondering about the public reaction to the mines closing, since it does seem like a good thing on its face, no you’re absolutely right that a problem doesn’t need to be handled the hardest way.

  interesting to hear about the cycle coming around again with steel workers now.

  that was a great write up and an appreciated explanation, have a good one!

  You’re incorrect, residency and language fluency are not new residency requirements for Italian citizenship, although the proposals I brought up(that have not been signed into law yet) are being expanded specifically for ancestry petitions.

  You can try again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  nothing says they were.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think language proficiency is a new requirement, but good to know, thanks.

  The residency I’m pretty sure is new, it used to be 10 years for citizenship through residency.

  thanks!

  that’s the article I was originally referencing.

  did you read something different?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, I meant intentional deportations of US citizens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yea, those are all the restrictions I mentioned above.

  as far as I’m aware it’s just the “great” part that changed.

  but those citizenship restrictions are no less onerous and still a great deal easier than most pther countries.

  basically, as long as you have a parent or grandparent who is an Italian citizen or became one, you can become an Italian citizen also by filling out a form.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  oh shoot I just thought they got rid of the “great” part and you can still become a citizen if you have italian grandparents, what are the new restrictions?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Italy and Ireland were like the last two countries that you could claim citizenship through great-grandparents, but I think Italy just ended it this year.

  thanks for posting this, it’s the first I’ve heard of maybe a US citizen being deported.

  I’m looking into related posts to find corroboration and explanation for the term “parole” used here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  not with regard to this specific situation, since white people have been deported or turned away due to their visa status, but under this administration anyone not white should feel way more targeted than they might be under other administrations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could you grind up a loaf of bread back into a flour and make a new loaf of bread?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  pretty rough and crumbly and crappy.

  it was impossible with the kitchen tools I had on hand to grind it into a fine enough flour to my liking, I just had a generic blender, but my whole reasoning for the experiment was “i bet I could make bread out of bread.”

  and it was moderately successful in that regard. what emerged was properly identified as bread.

  although I chucked most of the loaf in the trash because that was its flavor profile.

  i did this! yes.

  damn thank you I really appreciate that explanation and will check out those videos.

  I understand half of enough of that to know what you mean by context, and you really tied a lot of it together for me just now.

  I don’t have tiktok so I’m sure I’m sitting out a lot of cultural tides at the moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember when she fucked up the economy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  wow, yes I appreciate you adding that context, that’s some important information to know

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember when she fucked up the economy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  wow, that’s crazy. thanks for the video, i just watched it.

  if thatchers goal was to close the mines, wouldn’t miners voluntarily not working play into that?

  or does strike in this context mean general protest rather than specifically not working?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember when she fucked up the economy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  got it, thanks for the broad strokes and context

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We should create a Floptok-like community/instance on lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  never heard of floptok, what’s that?

  can one of the Brits lay out bullet points or just a short list of why Thatcher is so universally hated by the uk?

  I really only know the memes and I’m finally curious about the substance.

  thank you.

  why is that vine so funny?

  I feel like a hundred other people could have done a hundred other videos with that same scene and it would not be as perfectly funny as that guy is.

  holy moly that is some serious ice cream hardware.

  i prefer gelato to ice cream, does your ninja really mix it so different as to clearly make one or the other?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Being in the trash is better then being frozen in the freezer. Forever waiting. Forever wondering.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  truth.

  truth

  have you tried using an immersion blender to make an airy iced pudding?

  I haven’t, but i like banana ice cream and just thought of this last week, and I’ve been obsessed with the idea for days.
