I like that you can tell the artist was very offended by someone else saying they were offended by something, then turned around and made a racist portrayal of the global south. A perfect ouroboros of being offended over people getting offended by your offensive content.

Kirk getting shot is the best thing that ever happened to her speaking “career.”

What is mercantilism but proto-capitalism?

Please don’t spread misinformation, I’ve taken someone to the ER high in the Deep South (probably highest risk place to be caught high or with drugs in the US) and disclosed what they’d taken, all he got was proper treatment. Taking drugs should never stop you from seeking medical help if you need it, the doctors and nurses don’t want to snitch on you for it.

Major retail theft is almost always done by employees, anyway. Very intellectually lazy reporting to just drop that factoid (produced by retail stores, not independent studies) without that context.

I’ve never had any issues with anesthesia as a chronic user (I always disclose and modify usage as requested as well), but I live in a recreationally legal state so the anesthesiologists here might just have more experience working around it. Or I might be lucky/you might be unlucky, who knows why the hell anything happens to the human body

The only way that they should ever stop being able to federate would be if the Lemmy or Piefed devs decided to make the software intentionally closed off instead, which seems very unlikely.

There are often some mild issues any time two different federated instances running on different software interact, just by virtue of the fact they have different features. For example, Piefed has an events post category that I don’t think Lemmy does, but the devs account for this and it just shows up as a normal post for Lemmy users.

The use of the white sacks and shirts to give the figures an almost angel wing-like appearance on first glance is really nice.

Is that boiling oil, a la medieval murderholes?! Brutal

Maybe the American ones taste better, but the store bought ones I had years ago were disappointing. Maybe you need to dress them up, these were plain.

Finally, the true reason for the creation of the Steam Machine has been revealed!

I can’t believe we need another trillion dollars to fix coding LLMs! Ending the relentless consumption of power and resources isn’t an option!

This matches my experience. Worst in rural areas, still present to a lesser degree in urban ones.

Personally not a fan of people acting like urban = queer paradise when the city closest to me has had some pretty significant increases in anti-LGBTQ hate crimes:

LACo Reports 2025 Is the Second-Highest for Hate Crimes in 44 Years [highest = 2024]

There were 102 anti-transgender crimes, the largest number ever documented in this report. A staggering 95% of these crimes were violent

Hate crimes targeting non-binary people sharply increased 275% from 4 to 15, higher than 2023, when we began tracking this targeted group

72% of crimes motivated by sexual orientation targeted gay men. This was the second-largest number ever documented for this motivation

But yeah, only rural bad or something.

I am on Linux but haven’t needed to use office software in nearly 20 years, how do you access the pdf printer? Is that different from saving as a pdf through the menu?

Edit: thanks for the help everyone!

Good to know, at the time my brain was absolutely fried so it doesn’t surprise me that I missed it, lol

I used LibreOffice Writer for my coursework the past semester, and when I used my spouse’s Windows computer to double check the images were correctly placed before submitting a paper they were on completely different pages. This was when I saved it as a .docx, because the only two options accepted were .docx or pdf. I wound up doing everything as a pdf if I needed images, but I think LibreOffice doesn’t have a save as pdf option? Or if it did I missed it, I just used Google Docs to save it as a pdf.

Maybe through convergent evolution the pagan solstice celebrations just turned into Christmas. Yay, pagan Whos!

Is there a simple way to clean them? I dry heave every time I have to pull out sink clogs, so I just use the little $1 disposable plastic ones so I can chuck it in the trash and be done with it. I’d prefer to have less one use plastic, but every time I’ve tried to clean them off (even with gloves on) it’s been such a sensory nightmare I couldn’t take it.

I definitely thought this was posted to !transmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone at first
