That's not far off for some of us. That's about 25 bucks a month, and until about 2 years ago I was making just enough to have about 30 bucks left over at the end of the month that I didn't spend on bills or food. Then I did fairly well for about 2 years, with about 200 bucks a month left over... Then my mom passed away 2 months ago, and since my job was being her caregiver, I'm now jobless. :/ life sucks
Facebook canning groups are a great idea, as someone else mentioned. Them little old ladies can do pretty amazing things on short notice. Can I suggest hitting up local churches? The methodists, Episcopal and baptists are all particularly fond of doing drives and such, and may be able to do an impromptu canning drive for y'all
I mean, I wouldn't, because he's way out of my league, and probably straight,and most likely he's busy right now, or waiting on someone, and the music in here is really loud, so he probably wouldn't be able to hear me well enough to chat because I'm soft spoken...
I feel like ever since the term shifted from "gay liberation" to "gay pride" it has hindered the movement in a lot of ways. Liberation tells you what this is about, pride tells you... You're proud? Good for you. Lots of people are proud, but not all people need liberation (or, at least, not everyone thinks they need it).
I vote we go back to calling it Liberation, and instead of bickering over why people are at the queer event and not a workers event, we start organizing monthly or bimonthly events, a queer/LGBT liberation event, a women's liberation event, a worker's liberation event, Hispanic Liberation event... Let's pepper the calendar with parties and parades and protests while drilling into people's minds that we are all deserving of respect, autonomy, and liberation.
Not sure how well I said all that. I'm about 5 boozy horchatas in, and I hate to do the "as a gay man" thing, but I feel like I should mention I am, in fact, a gay, and I quite enjoy pride and what it stands for
"Elon has too much government information to go to Russia!"
Y'all, please, listen, Russia already has our government information. The important thing to note here is that whether Elon runs off to Moscow or not, Russia making the offer may well drive a wedge between Russia and Trump. That, in and of itself, is good news. Trump has very few political allies at this point, with most of the world turning against him and trusting the US less. If he is even further alienated, there's a decent chance his party loses reelection or refuses to go along with his insane 3rd term plans. It'll take us a long time to rebuild international goodwill, but alienating Trump is a good thing.
Happy to proven wrong is there's an aspect I'm not considering here, but in my mind when the fascist fight each other it's good for the rest of us. Makes them easier to tackle, especially if the nonfash (and specifically the left) can unify.
I had one, and it was great for listening to my CDs when I was laying in bed, but if I had to actually walk anywhere I took my walkman and a bookbag full of tapes (half of which were books on tape and not actual music lol). Dealing with the skipping was just too damn irritating. Walkman was the clear winner for my use case
This is what I keep trying to tell my brother. He's anti-AI, but to the point where he sees absolutely no value in it at all. Can't really blame him considering stories like this. But they are incredibly useful for brainstorming, and recently I've found chat gpt to be really good at helping me learn Spanish, because it's conversational. I can have conversations with it in Spanish where I don't feel embarrassed or weird about making mistakes, and it corrects me when I'm wrong. They have uses. Just not the uses people seem to think they have
This is genuinely how my father cleans and organizes. You can't find anything, you can't get anything you can find because the whole stack will collapse, and all the shit on bottom gets broken.
He's amazing at packing a U-Haul or the car when going on a trip or moving, though.
It's my mom's favorite band, probably mine to, if I had to pick one. Sylvia' Mother, Queen of the Silver Dollar, and Carry Me, Carrie are amazing. Freaking at th Freaker's Ball is a banger, too
Also, gotta say, I love Lemmy, but it still weirds me out being recognized across multiple communities. Like, noticing the same users in one subreddit over and over, or being recognized in the sub is one thing. But on Lemmy I notice the same names pop up in multiple communities, and have had people continue conversations from one community in another because they recognize the username. It's a weird experience. I feel like I'm in Mayberry. Lol
Made several because instances were going down left and right at one point. Lol. Finally settled on slrpnk, and only ever use this one when I accidently log into it without paying attention.
32f is the same as 0c, and they're both freezing. 0c is the temp at which brine freezes, but nobody really knows/cares about that. Where I live it down to -25f/-31c at least a few times a year, and normally you can expect at least a few weeks to a month below 32f/0c, but the last few years have been mild

I will completely forget to come back and check this, but if you get an answer, would you mind hollering at me and letting me know?
