Imagine being charged twice your mortgage for a crime you didn’t commit. It’s fucking Ohio, no way this isn’t happening to at least a few people. I’d lose my goddamn mind.
When people are shit talking European tacos I think a lot of that comes from seeing unseasoned British tacos make the rounds on social media every now and then. Paul Hollywood pronouncing it pico de “gal-o” kind of epitomizes what I’m talking about, just very unfamiliar with what it’s even supposed to be and slapping together something that doesn’t offend the average picky eater.
All of those are authentic tacos. And I still bet anyone who grew up with those will not choose European tacos if given the choice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Would you say that the building made that art? Even that analogy is imperfect, because the building didn’t have to have the work of thousands of other buildings poured into it to create the crack, it just happened.
I would bet my life that given the choice between Texmex tacos and European tacos, the vast majority of people raised on authentic tacos would choose Texmex. At least Texmex sometimes accidentally gets authentic flavors by virtue of proximity to the same ingredients.
By law anyone who makes a political donation of $200 or more has that contribution as part of the public record, which includes the donor’s town and zip code.
Guess who has contributed more than $200.
Guess who has given over $20k to Josh Hawley since 2020!
Public fucking record, Harrison!
Hold up. The manual release, which these Musk humpers have been stamping their feet about and saying is totally workable if people would just use it, can damage the $30,000 car??
lol. lmao.
Coverups usually need to be larger and darker than the initial tattoo unless your artist is really good at camouflage. But, free tattoo, so if the tattoo you want fit those parameters and you like the artist anyway it’d be worth it.
Ask Milo how well that worked out for him 😊
I agree, we should leap straight to using it on humans without allowing doctors to practice on inanimate objects to familiarize themselves with it. You can go first!
Disagree. Mom may be awkward or slightly ignorant, but telling your child that you accept them if they’re gay and presumably worried about mentioning their dating life to you is basically the opposite of toxic.
So what! I love scraping rust off my vehicle every week

“Alabama is not Michigan. Huntsville, Tuscaloosa — they’re not Detroit,” Ivey said, according to a transcript provided by her office. “We want to ensure that Alabama values, not Detroit values, continue to define the future of this great state.”
Lay on the whistle a little louder, I think there might be dogs a few states over that didn’t hear you.
Also illegal. Don’t worry though, the KKK is specifically listed as a group that can apply for an exemption. The reason that’s in there is because every version of the bill that explicitly listed the KKK as an organization that can’t apply for an exemption failed. I know this sounds like insane hyperbole and not something that actually happened, but that’s the state of things.
My guess is interactions like that are probably going to get more frequent as LLM use and possible backlash against them increases, since people who aren’t particularly good at spotting LLM text just think long = bot.
Same for my cat. She starts to get upset and cry if you don’t give her cuddles fast enough after she’s done eating! Sometimes after dinner she decides she needs to cuddle me and my husband, and will walk back and forth between us while crying until one of us gives in (doesn’t take much honestly) and joins the other for double cuddle time.
No, that’s fish and amphibians. Reptile eggs are enclosed by a soft shell and they get fertilized by doing the hanky panky.
It has always amused me that the tourists to the US that I’ve spoken to are often very excited to see raccoons, and disappointed if they don’t see them before they leave.
Some others I’ve noticed on the east coast of the US are blue jays and cardinals. Boy, do people get excited about those if they’ve never seen them before! Very pretty birds of course, just very easy to get used to and see as uninteresting as well.
I saved it from a cropped image of an old zine and forgot to make note of where I got it 😭 Reverse image search isn’t helping me
Queer shitposters you’re my only hope!

For the past few years my 10ish year old “smart” TV will maybe once a week or so completely lose the ability to play sound in the Youtube app, and only in the Youtube app. Sound works just fine everywhere else. Bizarrely this is always triggered by an ad and never a video. Restarting the app doesn’t fix it, and neither does clearing the cache. Fortunately doing a full restart of the TV fixes it, it’s just irritating to have to restart because an ad somehow broke the sound.
What technological gremlins haunt you?

We fired the art department and replaced them with an orb. It hovers about four feet off the ground and follows us around the office. Sometimes it feels like it's waiting for something. Sometimes it follows you home. Jim says it told him to dig into the dirt. It will save the company twelve dollars.
I’m getting an error when I try to upload pictures that says:
“syntaxerror: JSON
Parse error: Unexpected identifier “Request””
I saw an older thread on here about the same error and it was suggested it could be a file size thing, but the files I’ve tried uploading are around 30-50 kb so I don’t think it’s that.
It doesn’t seem to be an issue with the file itself having something causing an error either, as I’ve tried using image files made on different computers as well.

If you know any trans youth around Minnesota please pass it on to them or their families!
For anyone unable to see the post without a Bluesky account, it’s a picture of a flier that reads:
>NOTE: It has come to our attention that journalist Jesse Singal has been reaching out to families in the area to gather stories, quotes, and personal accounts from trans youth and their families for a new book. Jesse has been listed on the GLAAD Accountability Project as expressing anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and spreading misinformation about the trans experience. QUEERSPACE collective and other LGBTQ+ youth organizations in Minnesota recommend not engaging with Singal or any of his proxies, even for debate or conversation, to avoid providing additional material for his upcoming works.
I plan on bringing this up with my doctor at my next blood work visit, but was curious if anyone had experience with this.
I’ve been having issues with feeling kind of crappy about a day before my shot is due. Getting overheated, tired, irritable, etc. Previously when that happened my dose was bumped up a bit, but my dose is already on the upper end of a typical dose so I’m not sure I want to ask to keep bumping it up.
That said, does anyone have experience with dealing with late shot cycle ickyness by doing a 5 or 6 day shot cycle instead of once a week? I’m wondering if a lower dose more often would help reduce the hormonal drop off or just make it happen more often.
I’ve been on gel before but doing it daily is a huge pain and I’d like to avoid going back on it if I can get these damn shots tweaked right.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, if there’s a better location please let me know where to direct this.
One of the mods of !gaming@lemmy.world (Stormageddon47) left some disturbing comments here, referring to the simulated rape of a child in VR as “bullying” and insisting multiple times that it should not be investigated by police at all, despite sexual harassment of children obviously being a crime.
They repeatedly downplay the seriousness of what happened to the girl and spread misinformation about the police trying to prosecute it as a rape. While there are media stories referring to it this way, reliable sources are very explicit about the fact rape laws do not cover what happened to this girl.
Just wanted to make sure the admins knew this was going on, thanks for your time.
I recently started watching videos on YouTube of a guy (The Trek Planner) who searches Google maps for what looks like ancient structures, then hikes out to them and sometimes flies his drone around them. Lots of very cool footage, and I’d love to see more videos with similar content.
What I like about his videos:
Unique content showing archaeological remains that have little or no other media presence, either through other YouTube channels or documentaries
Genuine excitement for going out and filming things to show people, doesn’t come off as a content mill
Emphasis around being respectful and not touching or harming any ancient remains
What I’d like more of in similar videos:
More advanced archaeological, historical, anthropological, geological, etc knowledge. Not necessarily someone with a degree but at least a knowledgeable amateur
Maybe somewhere outside the southwest? But anywhere is good
Similar but not quite what I’m looking for YouTube channels that I also enjoy:
Stefan Milo
Ancient Americas

This is on the most recent iPhone version and the most recent Voyager version. My text size is set as large as possible without the accessibility sizes being on (honestly I would go larger, but accessibility sizes are a bit too big). Making the text this big makes the button to select photos pushed off to the left, and the three dots button is pushed off to the right. They will let me interact with them if I tap as far to the left/right as possible, but I didn't realize I was missing UI elements until someone mentioned it.
Sorry if this has already been reported, I tried searching the github issues but I'm not sure I know the right keywords to use. Thanks for all the work you do on this app! 🙏

When I try to access the modlog through lemmy.blahaj.zone/modlog I just get taken to a blank page that says 'Server error' and nothing else. Is this happening for anyone else?
A Chinook helicopter flew over a crocodile farm, prompting a mating frenzy among the reptiles, who may have mistaken the noise for a thunderstorm.
>You might expect the whirring blades of a helicopter to spark concern or annoyance from animals in the vicinity. But for the reptilian residents of a crocodile farm, a low-flying chopper seemed to signal mating season.
>"All of the big males got up and roared and bellowed up at the sky, and then after the helicopters left they mated like mad," John Lever, owner of the Koorana Crocodile Farm in Queensland, Australia, told ABC.
I’m very averse to going to get haircuts, and typically only get one when my hair length starts getting me misgendered (or it starts to get in my face and drive me crazy). But I just recently got a haircut, the barber wasn’t weird about it and gave me the style I asked for, and now everything feels SO much nicer without hair everywhere!
