Has anyone ever referred to your speech impediment as "the queen's english"? Did it bother you? Congrats, you were successfully indoctrinated into being a sexist white pig without even realizing it! Good show old sport pip pip
Holy shit did i actually find the thing we can be racist against the whites with? You're all sexist pigs because you're white?
I'm sorry but misogyny and sexism is basically a tradition in the UK. Culturally encoded white behavior.
Because it sucks as a government owned entity and deserves to die for its trespasses against the citizenry at large.
Honestly the 3-5min behind schedule average did it. Germans can't stand it when they're late. Ruins their whole little day.
Yall mfs talmbout banded iron formations???
I was just watching about this shit the other day
Shhhhhh if you're too loud, someone will try to monetize it
Actually the only way to arrest anyone is with physical restraints. Trump can blather all he wants once the cuffs are on, but hogtied is hogtied no matter how you slice him.
You seen those alligator skin cowboy boots? Thems carnivore shoes
The soul of cannabis is doing just fuckin dandy in the people who appreciate the plant for what it is. What it's not doing is supporting your insane belief that profits always go up and that you can generate huge profits without consequences.
I've watched dispensaries charge up to $400 an ounce. That's insanity. Absolute nut slapping outrageous shit. I've had the same dealer for more than a decade, and prices haven't ever changed. It's $120/oz for whole flowers, or $100/oz for popcorn buds. I'm sorry if the rest of you can't figure out how to make enough money off of $600-1600/plant when your only costs are lights, dirt, and water.
People don't like being ripped off. Go figure lmao
Have you asked yourself if what you do is actually worth anything?
Like not to shit on your already lackluster parade, but you have to know your worth. Middle managers are worthless. HR is worthless (unless you have a fetish for being a corporate bitch). Most executive officers """"""" are fucking useless. Me? I weld. And I also machine cool shit out of big ass pieces of steel. I produce value.
Idk what state your in but landlords withholding deposits usually results in triple damages (eg. You get three times your deposit in damages if the court finds in your favor).
I feel like someone my age wrote this because hotels are not around $100 anymore. Last concert i went to that was sufficiently far away to justify getting a room for the night, said room was over $200, tiny, and literally the cheapest in the building.
Counterpoint: leash laws for cats on non-private property. You can and should be able to take your cat for a walk, but you definitely shouldn't let those little murder machines out on their own.
My claim is that humanity made the Amazon rainforest what it is today. I stand by that, and my claim grows stronger with each new ancient city discovered under the trees.

You can think what you want but the science is there. People took grasslands and farmed them for generations, then died off and the forests took over. 1-2k years is nothing when it comes to geologic time.
I like pretty much anything Fred Ward was in. Remo Williams will never die
Recommendations for series with rebellion
Looking for recommendations for series with rebellion as a main focus. I want a MC that tells the elder council, noble assembly, ancient wizard circle, whatever high and mighty force to go to hell with their suggestions and orders. I liked the Embers of illeniel series where the MC decided to burn the whole world when he got the power to do it. I like the immortal great souls series where all authority is rightly viewed with suspicion. What else do you fine connoisseurs have for me?
RIP Bear
I'm sorry to post again. I tried finding a "lastimages" lemmy but I couldn't.
Bear was laid to rest at 10:50am 16th of September 2024. I had him for 15 and a half beautiful years. We went for walks just about every day and he was the king of his block. Neighbors and friends come and go but my stinky man was always finding something to smell in the next bush. Even when the weather was against him, he could always sneak around and find something new stuck to grandma's shoes.
He loved nothing more than salmon, PINK salmon (none of that red or smoked nonsese), and so he ate pink salmon every day he could. His kibbles were never empty for long and the house just wasnt right if he didn't have at least 3 different glasses to drink from at any time. Though we bought him beds and blankets enough to supply a small army, he loved sleeping on news paper more than anything else. Something about inconveniencing the humans by weight of his sheer existence I'm sure.
We bothered him constantly his
Pray for my boi
Pretty sure I'm going to have to put my beautiful baby boy to rest on Monday. He's been getting very lethargic and lost his appetite. Spent 48 hours at the vet and he was treated for pancreatitis, kidney disease, and now we find heart failure. He's back home with all the meds he could need and he's comfortable.
He's my 17 year old very special boy. We've been extremely lucky with only 2 minor health issues that needed vet care and otherwise normal visits with clean bills of health. He's always been very strong (if very picky when it comes to eating) and he's been with me through the death of my mother and father.
Im honestly feeling pretty lost right now, but every time I look at him I can't help but feel it's time. He's got the best chance the vet can give him, but I still don't want to watch him suffer.
I really don't have much faith, but if you do, please pray for Bear.
Edit: Bear was laid to rest at 10:50am. It was extremely fast and he was so out of it he barely felt a thi
Secret Project now availablr on Kindle and Audible
Good ol BrandoSando has screwed the community again. First, he announces the secret project and promises us new stories. Then, he "boycotts" amazon with JUST THESE COMMUNITY FUNDED STORIES. Now, he's making money on books we bought without letting us utilize the accessibility features we've come to expect from his other work unless we pay him again.
Tl;Dr Brandon Sanderson is an exploitative greed monster that swallowed 43 million dollars and is hungry for more. Do not buy Brandon Sanderson products until this betrayal is addressed.
oh look. im so glad the $43 million dollar secret project the fans funded will now spawn AI generated garbage while still not being available on audible. isnt that just the greatest? /s
An ominous new change in Spotify's terms for audiobook rightsholders allows Spotify to "create derivative works from" audiobooks.

Spotify just changed their TOS, giving them unprecedented rights to create "derivative works" from audiobooks
They frame it as though it's for user content, more likely it's to train AI, but in fact it gives them the right to do almost anything they want - up to (but not including) stealing the content outright.
