they said they’re an immigrant to a country other than the US, as proof of how it’s done with some level of sense in most of the world.

Still doubt he actually read it, he probably had it read to him (either as an audio book or by some goon of his).

This thread showed up like it was meant for me in this very moment as I’m currently laying in my sofa and blasting this on high volume and drowning in the vibe:

Afro Celt Sound System - Volume 2: Release (Real World Gold)

Haven’t heard anything truly like it so I think it fits the thread.

This album has been with me since my childhood.
My mom used to house sit this crazy special house during the summers around 1998-2005 that belongs to a clay sculpture artist, my mom discovered this band there and loved this album especially.
It was mostly my mom, me (born 1990) and my little sister (born 1992) in the middle of the woods all summer break in this absolutely dream like house, it’s something out of a movie really.
A lot of the house was built by the artist dude, with tons of handmade clay sculptures, mosaics, wooden details of animals and twisted tree logs built into the structure. The sides of the road through the woods to the house was filled with totem poles, human-ish figures and other sculptures.
We just enjoyed the woods and the house, made clay art and nice food, went bathing in the river and took care of the garden.
There are so many deeply connected smells, sounds, sights and feelings in me to that house, it really affected me in a great way.
I so wish I could post photos of it but I have no contact with the owner and don’t want to do it without his permission.

Willing and able, which isn’t the case for any of those people.

“Turn off adblocker or join for $1”

No, fuck you.

Not rare with boomer LGBTQ+ people here in Sweden, I know several and had many around as neighbours etc. throughout my whole life. One of the people who checks your ID and stuff when you vote in my area is trans (mtf) and has been doing that for 30+ years and it’s nothing odd for the vast majority who meet her, I think she’s in her 80s now. Was always curious and liked her when I was a kid and went there with my parents. Still like her of course, and it’s always so nice to see her still doing that.

Ah, the 'Murican stereotype of ignoring the fact that a person might not be American. You just default to believing everyone online is in the US and it never stops being both hilarious and infuriating. You’re doing a great job at proving Americans are dumb as fuck.

My only worry is the ergonomics of it. They had to cram so much that it looks like the sticks and buttons are too far up while the track pads are too far down. I haven’t used a steam deck, but it does look more comfortable than this controller does. I hope it doesn’t end up with that feeling of nothing being in a really comfortable place (except the triggers and bumpers).

I thought this was obvious from the start.

The title sounds weird because it’s word gore, not because of the implied meaning. Try reading what you’ve written.

“How old we are you”

Words hard, apparently.

Yeah, but that is the case for a LOT of murder done by both states and individuals. I’m in no way saying that to lessen how bad it is, if anything it should give people pause to reflect on how bad many things they don’t see as bad are.

I imagine an image of penguins as a mob, holding up one of their wings with a closed fist in a show of resistance. I refuse to use AI for it (or at all) and my creative skills are not up to the task. Still felt I needed to share this mental image. Go penguins!

The whole thing is a flared base!

The major obstacle for me is recommend videos as I almost exclusively use that and youtube knows what to show me (good factual science channels, nothing with AI used at all, gaming and tech news, essays and documentaries etc.) and no other app than the official youtube one does that as far as I’m aware. (I use ReVanced though). I’ve really tried to jump over to newpipe and grayjay but I miss so much and never discover any new channels through them.

Have so many stories like this. One from high-school that I thought of immediately:

Had a girl in my class who was very white trash, she had a g-string with a butterfly at the top of the T section at the back and got the task of giving out papers to everyone else. When she went to the front to put down the left over ones she bent down and we all saw that butterfly. Me, being a very introvert and awkward kid normally, for some reason blurted out “oh hello Mrs. Butterfly, nice to see you”. She had a 5 second meltdown and turned bright red before running out of the classroom. Right after that class ended as we were walking out into the corridor she was waiting by the door, as soon as I went out she kicked me, with her pointy high heels, right between my legs. She hit my taint and I blacked out from the pain, had never felt such soul crushing direct pain before. Nothing else happened, it’s like we just agreed that we are on good terms again and everything continued as normal after that. Not that we were friends before, but we did have some banter and some connection through other friends in the class. Then we made out a couple of years later during a party right before we graduated, haven’t seen her since then.

Memories you lost because of how much axe you inhaled?

I really feel bad for all of you who have conservatives in your lives, it feels bad enough to just hear about it all online as someone who never had any conservative family or friend(s) and very, very rarely interact with any IRL.
