Any criticism of conservatism is grounds for removal now. I can’t believe it’s gotten this far.

Is there any Sonic community on Lemmy? Did you make one? I’m a casual fan, but I’d join.

I like it. It gives me a nice way to give my kids little gifts that don’t take up much space. If I had to pick specific ones it wouldn’t work as well.

With that said, I do use an app to make sure they’re not getting duplicates.

I called their customer support, and a person answered. Like, right away. I was caught completely off guard. They resolved my issue in under a minute.

You can color with a candle.

It’s actually a teal blue! Tricky, right? And I believe it’s a Crayola.

Wait until you realize that number 8 is actually teal blue! Gotcha!

The lesson here is not to peel off the labels.

True, but it’s a restaurant crayon, so it’s a little scratchy.

2, and it’s not close.

I had this discussion with my wife a few weeks ago. She did that to a work colleague who took offense to it. I explained that that’s because her colleague is about 8 years younger than us.

Basically, if the recipient is 35 and under, it’s offensive. If they’re 40 and older, it’s not. Anywhere in between, look for context.

So if people can’t have dairy, they also wouldn’t choose vegan ice cream? That seems like a wrong statement.

Yeah, I agree. Why did you make that statement?

Foundations of Geopolitics. A Russian book by an author with ties to Putin, which describes in detail and in advance everything they’ve been doing for the last few years, including the invasion of Ukraine and the psyop against America.

Can you recommend a specific one? I’m absolutely certain that I’ll prefer real ice cream, but I’ve never tried vegan ice cream, and maybe someday I will.

I imagine if those people had a choice, they also wouldn’t choose vegan ice cream.

This is the best answer and it’s not close. Their strawberry ice cream is mind blowing. It’s so fucking creamy.

It’s clearly chocolate cake, pineapple, and carrot.

When my daughter was born, I was blown away to find that my company offered 16 weeks paternity leave. A couple of weeks before my wife was due, I was talking to a coworker and found that his wife was also pregnant, but he didn’t know about our company’s parental leave policy. He had only been planning to take a couple of weeks. After we talked I found out he took the whole thing.

That four months was one of the greatest times of my life, getting to know my newborn daughter.

Three years later I was in a different job when my son was born. They offered three days. Six months later I found a new job, and I took an extra month off during the transition, just so I could spend every day with my son.

I don’t regret any of that. I can’t even imagine what that would feel like. I love my children and love being a dad. This is life. This is all we get.

I used to be able to send my girlfriend a T9 text just by feel, without taking my eyes off the road. Probably had a 95% accuracy rate, but “I like your bombs” still makes sense.

I hate that music nowadays is supposed to go through my phone. I’m on my phone constantly. It’s ridiculous that I can’t do that while listening to music. A dedicated music player is essential.

Although I eventually gave up on CDs and now I just use an old phone.

You don’t consume one bean at a time though. The existence of a lazy or boring post doesn’t ruin the good posts next to it. You can’t scroll through the beans from the crappy batch to only eat the good ones.

Besides, that’s still a solvable problem. I’m talking about a front-end solution, something that could be customized. Like a multi-reddit on reddit, but easily shareable like a starter pack on Bluesky. And if the multi-pack isn’t to your liking, you just edit it for yourself.

I attempted to post an original comic on Lemmy to what is basically the only comic strip sub. It was probably the only comic that had been posted that week that wasn’t on reddit first. It got removed for profanity. The profanity in question? “Balls”.

I posted it to reddit after that, and it hit the front page of r/all. Not to toot my own horn, but that’s some good fucking original content that the comic strip sub on Lemmy could have used.
