They made an anime? Hell yeah! I love the manga, so excited to watch!

I um… what?

I’ll see if I can track her down. She moved to the UK for university about 6 years ago, but I doubt she brought all her childhood stuff with her(her whole family is still in southern California). My stuff is in storage near Washington at the moment, but I should be going up there before December to nab some stuff.

I bet the photos we took are in those boxes too xD

I legit still have my books from when I was a kid. Berenstien. My friend also has their books from when they were a kid. Berenstain. We argued about it off and on for like a decade before we finally settled it. We only have one book in common, a halloween one, but other than that we have no idea what happened. They were printed in different years, but why would that matter??? IDK, it is a mystery.

I can’t tell if your question is a poorly veiled critique of my comment, or if you genuinely don’t see the presentation of data in the post. The image literally has a grouping of data points conveying a narrative; that’s statistics. A collection of quantitative data. Just because its bad statistics doesn’t mean it isn’t.

This isn’t an “evil commie” meme, dude. 1 : Russian isn’t communist. 2 : This is just poorly thought out political commentary 3 : Communism isn’t evil, capitalism sucks, and so do your memes.

There is so much context missing here it is crazy. This is such a shameless use of manipulative statistics, it would only convince the dumbest of people of its argument.

Fair, and yes, though we tend to censor ourselves when referencing known slurs in this day and age. You won’t find me casually dropping Ns or old cigs while talking about those slurs, and I doubt you would either.

I will concede and do some research.

For whatever reason I was under the impression that a word had to reference a specific group to be a slur. Like, anyone can be a slut. Man, woman, trans, black, white, et cetera. Like, who is “slut” targeting? Sexually active people? I know that it is weaponized against women, usually those who are NOT actively engaging in promiscuous activities, but I haven’t exactly come across many slurs that can be used against multiple groups.

Perhaps the root of my understanding of what makes a slur itself is the issue. Like I said I’m going to do some research. As a known slut, I apologize to any who came across my comment and were offended.

slut isn’t a slur lol Otherwise, neither of us would be casually dropping it without fear of social repercussion.

So do 3 year olds who run mud-pie shops in my garden. Anyone can make a recipe. Many people are physically able to cook, even. Chefs are actually good at it, and thus people are willing to pay for the food they make.

I have no idea if there was an argument, or if we are just saying things, so I’ll leave it at that.

With how many posts you’ve made to this sublemmy, I can’t imagine you’re lacking for meaningful notifications now!

Sending big hugs!

Companies DO irradiate non organic ginger though, sterilizing it, before shipping it to stores.

You both are making such massive assumptions about the other, with these grand sweeping accusations, that I can’t tell if this is satire.

I lived through George Bush, and then Obama. Yeah, we fought a war. The US was at war before either Bush took the reins, and we were still at war after Obama left office. Yeah, hundreds of thousands of innocents died. Shits no different today. We just had a guy assassinated for profiting off the deaths of hundreds of thousands of US citizens by denying care they were entitled to. No different than the war profiteering of yore or today, but far more impactful on the actual lives of most here in the USA I’d wager.

Evil people exist fucking everywhere, take a gander at your local sex offender registry. Usually has a map.

“Most degenerate generation”? Come on, if they’re too young to remember Bush they haven’t even had enough time to make a difference. All the shit you see in the world is two generations removed from them. Look at every person in high government; nearly all of them are over 50 years old. Last time I checked, the oldest gen Z person is half that in age.

Neither of you are making adult arguments, and are reducing yourselves to insults to feign a superior argument. Ya know, the same tactics kids at recess use.

All of you are hilarious. YOU WIN EITHER WAY. But all your calculations are wrong, because you can breathe fast and take small steps.

Are you really using the same arguments as big coal?

“You, the consumer, are the problem. Not us, no”, like consumers are killing the chocolate farmers. No, the people killing the chocolate farmers are killing the chocolate farmers. If you drive a car in the USA, you aren’t responsible for the 100 million tons of CO2 pumped into the atmosphere, or the millions of gallons of crude oil spilled into the ocean— companies like Exon and Shell are. You merely live in a country where automobile companies lobbied hard for cities to be built dependent on cars.

You had no say in that, just like you have no say in what produce is at your supermarket, or what baby formula, or what your kids favorite drink is going to be.

That’s like saying, “if you eat bannanas you endorse the murder and rape of south americans and the colonization of hawaii”. Shits just not true.

I think someone else already posted the information above about hosting your own account on a private server, so I won’t double dip there. But yeah, you totally could host your own server with accounts :)

Well ain’t that a sweeping generalization. Almost like it can’t possibly be true…

Bluesky is built on an open, decentralized protocol. There are appications that allow the AT protocol to federate with Mastodon, even. So yeah, move to Bluesky. Its not like Mastodon isn’t also a private company.

Literally anyone could build apps on top of the AT protocol to create a parallel Fediverse to the ActivityPub protocol Fediverse. Best case scenario is we fold them in.
