“It’s a distinct possibility.”

Anger or hatred is like the fisherman’s hook. It is very important for us to ensure that we are not caught by it. – Gautama Buddha

When was the last time you had USD$10B? Next you’re gonna defend Mackenzie Scott’s hard-earned USB$34B, I suppose.

Indeed. Now she has only ca. USD$11B left over to survive with. She can buy only five, possibly six Sentinel ICBMs.

What’s everybody getting so perturbed about? Geez. Isn’t this just like when an ethnic group uses an ethnic slur within their own circle? 🤣

admitting homosexual men into seminaries

Ooh, like that’s never happened before in the entire history of the Holy See. 🙄

Stay sick, scratch glass, turn blue, climb walls…but don’t get caught!

I should know better than to ask but…

What kind of image are you uploading to a lemmy instance that’s eight meg?

Schadenfreude much? 🤔

Does anyone speak hairdresser?

No. Not even hairdressers speak hairdresserese. Like drummers, hairdressers/stylists/barbers will all appear as if all their attention is 100% on your description but they are thinking about something within their social circle (hence the real concern on their face). Like drummers, if there isn’t some kind of natural affinity between you and who cuts your hair, you will never get what you’re looking for.

That said, many clients haven’t the proverbial “faintest idea” of what actually works for their face shape and stylists, if they’re not suffering too strong of a hangover 🤣, do try to work within those confines.

You can only go in with your remarkably clear and detailed description —still open to interpretation as your hairstyle is not an airplane fuselage, with precise measurements and tolerances—in hand and still hope for the best. Apologies for the length of this reply.

DISCLAIMER: my ex-wife was and still is a fine hair stylist.

It’s a valid idea for posts with original content. With all the pearls I cast before swine, I probably should at least put a CC-BY-ND license on my—ahem—humble screeds.

If you’re suggesting this becomes a part of the UI, unless you know how to program I’d say get in line.

I don’t know (because I don’t really care) if over in the Lemmy laboratory they’re working adding an email-like automatic signature option but if so, you could always add your license of choice as a signature. Ciao!

Ain’t it fun?

Lemmy: the Tupolev TU-144 of social media!

And at the risk of being repetitive, the ‘Prev’ button goes MIA.

Hey…I use it.

Go figure. Three of them are Trump-appointed shills, two are Cheney’s Dubya’s and Thomas hanging on from “Vision Thing” Bush times.

Oh, absolutely. Where would you put that impossibly quantifiable number? 10? 10,000,000? More? Less?

My point being that every gun-owning household in the United States isn’t like yours and with almost weekly occurrences like the Oxford school shooting, the Michigan State University shootings of 2023, the Perry, Iowa school shooting, even the Detroit five-year-old who shot himself in the face among his playmates while their parents were out of the home, or the Lansing toddler who did the same with his father’s gun…

…it’s hard to believe that your family is anywhere near the norm. You are 0.1% of 0.1% (yes, I made that up too).

If this heartwarming story of responsible gun ownership is actually true, Mr/Ms Anonymous Voice On The Internet — y’know, because I believe every anecdote I read on social media — you are probably one of <1000 people in 336,000,099 (the 2024 population of the United States).

Lemmy: the Tupolev Tu-144 of social media.

Hey, where did the Prev button go?

Although I mirror your general sentiment, who is to say that the admins of lemmy.world, or kbin.social, or lemmy.ml, etc. etc. aren’t already doing what which you accuse “media”. It’s not at all implicit that privacy is guaranteed in this new Fediverse. Corrections welcome.

I often find it close knit wit.

Say goodbye to your Prev button

Yeah, I do that ‘>’ delete dance too. What a pain in the ass! 😄😭

I’d just like my pre-0.19.x Prev button back, please.
