Captain oh my captain!
(I really had to hold myself back from changing the second captain to caption... yes on purpose porpoise!?)
Edit: bonus second meme:
S'okay, we all needed a break from it anyway!:-)
But have you uh... tried, ah... reconfiguring the primary power coupling?
Still not as many as our current crop of meme-ceptions! Like this one:
Speaking of...
It's memeception!
Sorry, I wish there was a higher resolution version of this but it's still interesting enough to see despite that:
It is difficult, I get it. Though conversely, you can't reach people who you are looking down on and spurning. Arguably this is the effect that lead to Republicans winning in the USA recently - bc rural people felt that their needs were being entirely ignored, rather than being at least taken into consideration.
i.e., the beatings purity testing shall continue until morale improves.
There is correctness, and there is effectiveness. I know that at least in the past I have been incorrect on a few matters.
Note I am not telling you in any way what to do, only adding some context about my own thoughts.

Do it now! (again)
What about reversing the polarity... of something?
How do we know that they aren't there already?
Maybe he needs them on TOP of the visor⁉️
Good choice! 😃
And I can only imagine the possibilities for replying:

What clothes do you wear to work?
Not what you'd prefer to wear, but what you have to:-).
For me: as casual as I can possibly manage. In the past that has varied anywhere from shorts, up to button up shirts and slacks, or down to pajama type pants (combined with maybe a nicer shirt during a Zoom call:-).
But I'll probably have to dress up more in my next job, maybe, and I'm not really looking forward to it.:-(
So you still have friends that have different beliefs than you?
Maybe a different religion, or especially political beliefs seems to be a big deal-breaker. Do you still find it worthwhile to keep them in your life?
I do. I have e.g. Christian Conservative friends, and Atheist Liberal ones, etc. I enjoy each one for what they are. I mean, nobody is perfect! (like me 😁)
What would you call the maximum walking time to/from a store?
I've done well over an hour before (one way), but it definitely takes planning so not anywhere close to casual. At that point, perhaps other transportation may be used to return. And/or even if a daily/weekly occurrence, it takes discipline to do things like leave on time and stay informed throughout the day to handle weather events, plus wearing certain clothing to handle sweat and sun and rain etc. Biking is definitely preferable to walking for that level of distance/time, though I've done both.
More routinely, and perhaps with little notice, maybe... 20 minutes? (one way) It's hard to say bc it depends on what stores are where, whether the purchases will fit comfortably into my bag, etc. But I'd leave at a moment's notice for such a trip if need be and the conditions are conducive to it.
What about you: what's your cutoff?
Do you agree? 2025 is not 2020 part 6 - it has reached a whole new level of notoriety to stand the test of time all on its own
So... there's that, at least.
What playful stereotypes about places do you hear about often!
Setting aside the obvious one of Florida, I would guess Ohio bc (gestures wildly around) it exists.
(I don't mean to suggest that these are necessarily true)
What are red flags you look out for in a relationship?
Rather than put my answers, I will leave space for you to jump in directly with yours:-).
Would you put up a flag somewhere?
I'm not talking like 10 of them, just one. Even for historical reasons.
Edit: I suppose you could answer any way you like it, but fwiw I meant like an American flag. 🇺🇲
The Alt-Right Playbook x PhilosophyTube: Doublewrong
The newest hit from this incredible series!
DYK that Lemmy now auto-plays videos WITH SOUND?!?
Here is an example link (edit: I originally had this example link, which also has the issue but then does not match the same posting as the other links below so the first one would have been better). Apologies in advance that the content of this video is political, but you can pause it immediately and not watch if you prefer yet still see the effect.
Caveats:
- on most desktop browsers I have tried the auto-play is blocked; however in Firefox on Android it auto-plays with sound. For me, (edit: whoops what happened to the word "Chrome") shows the video embed yet pauses it, properly refusing to allow it to play unless I hit the giant Play button in the center. It has been too long but this may not be standard behavior for Chrome, although I did confirm this effect on 2 different devices from different manufacturers (yet if I made any configuration changes in the past to block auto-playing videos, I definitely woul
