A vase for $4 is a good deal. What was she expecting, solid gold? I don't think I would have gone as far as involving all of Mexico but I guess it's easier to just give her a refund.
Yeah but where are these nerves? Bermuda triangle? Another plane of existence like from that movie interstellar? The moves passed down to me thru generations seem to do nothing.
I wouldn't blame those 2. Forums have been dying since Myspace and Facebook. The specialized ones like the machinist and woodworking ones I belong to are going strong. So are the firearm related ones.
Republicans are all bullies. The people that worship them think they are bullies too but they constantly get beaten up for their money (donations) and still get fucked by them in the end.
Sometimes on Lemmy these seem like the only jobs that actually exist, but I'm sure there's a lot of people here with different and unusual lines of work.
Me too, right when the digital age was taking over. I was young so they had me help design display ads in illustrator. We'd print out the ads with the articles on a laser printer. Cut them and arrange on a page that was then photographed. It was the future back then lol.
The AR-15 is an absolutely shitty rifle unless you were going to kill people with it. The selection is also completely oblivious to what most residents use for hunting deer. So these repubs are posers that know shit about guns. As a liberal former deer hunter I'd recommended the .308 Winchester or the 30-06 Springfield. Actual rifles people use in this state for anything but the mass killing of children.
Everyone is ignoring the fact I was talking about the official gun for Michigan. You can't hunt deer like you hunt boars. The AR-15 is a stupid rifle to associate with this state. A deer hunting rifle is a better choice. But I've been shooting my whole life and I fucking hate everything related to that platform. I don't think about boar hunting when it's mentioned, I think about the San Bernardino slaughter.
Really seems like Stanford is appeasing the far-right on everything these days. The leadership there has no grasp on the duties of their job and supporting their students.
You should take a look at their endowment. It's not going to teachers. Maybe they should use it to fight back? Cause if a university capitulates to an attack on freedom of speech then what lesson are they teaching the student body?
The work bathroom is currently a warzone, on their phone speakers people like to play music, play games at full blast, and one guy likes to chill to ambient rainforest. What song can I play to passive aggressively make it known that I don't want to listen to their tik tok feeds while I work out my demons?
The GOP welcomes neo-nazis to their party but cry out "We're not Fascist! The socialists are Nazis," and their supporters cheer. Will they unveil a new salute at the convention this year? Possibly.
If the information was important wouldn't it already be passed around and expanded upon? The Internet is probably 99% junk, at least the posts I've made. Only the good stuff like goatse survives.
No one is scared in downtown anymore. But I used to live in downtown over 20 years ago and it was scary. Just walking down Woodward at night was dangerous but you look at it now and wonder how it ever was like that.
The moment you walk in that door cause you are important and the world should cater to your every need. Let that manager know who is boss and greet them with a wry insult.
New here. Migrated from Reddit. Still trying to figure out Lemmy - what's everyone's experiences like coming from Reddit and does Lemmy serve as a good alternative? Pros and cons/differences?...

I'm in my mid-40s and I love searching for new (and old) music. It makes me happy. Maybe I start with an artists I like and just go thru the rest of the label. You just have to break the habit of listening to the same thing and challenge yourself.
