  Just in case you did bail before it loaded, it is a painting, not a photo, and it is unhinged but not gross. Per se.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An Arctodus simus that has been affected by the tapeworm parasite, by Hodarinundu⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is how I got rid of mine but it was thanks to mice, not birds in my case. I felt like Cinderella!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Knew it was Chicago. I really hate these things but I enjoy faking them out when I pass them. It’s the little things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I fixed my meme⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you considered getting hornier friends though.

  In a functioning society I think that would be criminal.

  Based on OP’s screen name, they might be going after a pretty niche, but surely thriving, target market.

  I for one enjoy a frisky Lemmy.

  I assumed it was Doug Wilson for some reason.

  Wait, were you born that way or are you talking about them? I am weirdly invested but confused.

  He soooo badly doesn’t want to want to though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Truth⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One small sense in which I’m proud of my younger self is that I had a similar insight to this around like 11, and pretty much decided then and there that I wasn’t going to pay to wear someone else’s logo (excepting bands & similar) and I would avoid wearing someone else’s logo if I wasn’t being paid to.

  And I’ve pretty much stood by that. I’ve made some exceptions for smaller companies that I felt were doing something positive and worth promoting, or for open source things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨wir suchen dich‼️‼️🗣️📢📢⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks. I wasted a year on Duolingo and got very little idioms, just some supposedly common sayings like das is schnee von gestern, oder es kostet nur einen apfel und ein ei.

  Honestly, ich_iel has done more for my understanding than Duolingo did, but it is still almost nil.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨wir suchen dich‼️‼️🗣️📢📢⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t it closer to “we are looking for you”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Now this is an interesting question. What sound would you like it to make?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn I should have scrolled down literally at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Now this is an interesting question. What sound would you like it to make?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was a kid there was a Transformers cartoon show and every time they transformed there would be this “BE-boo-babu-babu-BEEP” sound effect.

  And so yeah.

  Just want to take a moment to appreciate the creativity within constraints.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta is shutting down VR social platform Horizon Worlds in further pivot away from the metaverse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s like tattooing your new girlfriend’s name on your ass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify playing ads for paid subscribers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would have to go and download an ad, and then upload it, and then select it from new additions in order to hear an ad on Plexamp.

  But the subscription model is the framework for fuckery here.

  It wasn’t long ago that subscribing to something, implied a consistent (usually periodical) delivery of actual goods or services that were in some way distinct from the previous periods good or services. Issue #33 is different from #32. March’s soup of the month is different than February’s.

  And you could hold issue #33 in one hand and #32 in another hand and directly interact with two months worth of that subscription.

  The tech bro idea of innovation is to get two revenue streams from each customer; keep us paying for the same thing over and over but never owning it, and sell our data to advertisers. The fact that they are also showing ads to subscribers is just dripping lemon juice in the paper cut because they can. They were already making money off that data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy 17th of March⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is anything I said incompatible with the statement all slavery matters?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy 17th of March⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve sat here and read this carefully a few times and I do not follow your point. Who is me and who is you in this scenario? Is you Ireland? And is me America or who is Africa? How does this seeming reciprocal rape relate to either, or indeed any, slavery situation?

  I’m going back to reread the Wikipedia article just in case you’re too deep for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy 17th of March⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One is too many, but, the in American discourse at least, the implied equivalence is used to undercut and diminish the Atlantic slave trade, which I think no one can dispute echoes much louder into our present day.

  One is too many, and I don’t mean to diminish that but at least in the context of the US I would argue there is slavery, and then there is Slavery.

  I see you as having no reddit parallel. You are singular and we have no need of such comparisons.

  I am exercising restraint here.

  Image Penny, Rocky, and Honey napping together.

  I will leave it there but there is real tension between posting an obnoxious amount vs omitting some of my cats; so basic cat dad problems.

  Not for nothing but enshittification has really sparked a renewed appreciation for good old fashioned taxi drivers. Especially to and from the airport.
