Iirc in the original kids book, he’s just a fucked up human kid who’s 3 inches tall and covered in fur

The whole reason they didn’t want to train him in the first movie was that he’s too old.

Yea I pretty much threw away labels because it got to be a pain in the ass to try and say anything when I always end up going into that description “I’m just attracted to femininity”.

To support this counterpoint, this is exactly the headline my moron coworker would click and MAYBE get corrected in his stance on fluoridated water

Even with them parading the Cheneys, I could understand a close loss after a week in the courts or just SOMETHING. Instead she lost so hard, she was conceding the next day. I kinda just gotta go what the fuck?

I got such a bad sinking feeling when they pivoted so hard right, but I genuinely thought Trump talking like a fucking lunatic might actually scare enough people into action and make it a close race.

Yep, non-voters were a much bigger problem for Harris

I usually just blame how autistic Lemmy is. Unironically, the amount of neurodivergent people here is huge and a common trait is focusing on the wrong fuckin details, especially with hypotheticals

Best I can do is tree-fiddy

It’s not really “dirty” in the same sense but I’m a massage therapist. Don’t think it gets more literally hands-on as far as a job goes lol. I primarily do deep tissue work, I REALLY enjoy injury-focused work, so it can be a bit tiring but it’s generally pretty satisfying.

Thank you for the correction! I always seem to misremember which Caliphate was when.

Iirc it was the Abbasid Rashidun Caliphate that was the first Muslims to take over Egypt. The 1000 years prior or so, it’d been Roman territory (Byzantine after the fall of Western Rome, but same difference).

Edit: My memory was shakey and I appreciate the correction.

Neckbeards: having “facial” hair that basically only covers the neck. It’s the idea that these guys who don’t have the facial hair to grow a full beard have poor hygiene.

Incel: Involuntary Celibate, shortened to incel. Someone who can’t get laid for one reason or another. The propblem being the people who generally self-identity as incel, who are usually toxic and sexist.

These aren’t necessarily linked, but incels are usually the type to have such poor hygiene as to have a neckbeard.

Because a neck beard isn’t facial hair. It’s neck hair. Neckbeards are usually indications of poor hygiene rather than some appreciation of facial hair

Arizona, figure the context being the US would at least make that an easy search but guess not.

Then sometimes you’re like me, living in AZ, not even on a VPN, being told “You Texans should be asking for ID” and just wondering how the fuck that’s happening

Most modern phones also already do that and show 100% when they’re at ~80% because they want to optimize battery life.

“Further, many phones are now programmed to shut off power once the battery is full, even if it remains plugged in.”

Quoting the article they linked for you. Since you seem to have either missed this important bit or are being pedantic. Unless your phone is 10 years old, it won’t.

My cashmere sweater from Nadaam. I have several and they’re comfy, stylish, and super warm. Their OG sweater (of which I own 3) are under $100, but the one I’m talking about is a recycled cashmere (made from leftovers of other products) which is thick and soft and fuckin amazing

Carhartt makes really good wool socks if you want recommendations

There are electors for every senate seat. This gives disproportionate power to the small pop. states (which go R most of the time) so Dems are basically always working with a ~30 vote deficit in the electoral college.

The senate is an undemocratic institution meant to protect the wealth. Abolish the senate.
