‘Your body, my choice’: Women report rise in online misogyny following Trump victory
  • A few of the guys (Americans) I game with called it "A good result." All I could respond with was a heavy sigh.

    At least they haven't been spouting the usual mysogynistic BS in my presence, unlike my last group. They were outright partying, and they aren't even American!

  • Americans: Never, EVER question again how Hitler came to power in 1933 Germany
  • Proof that sometimes people don't learn the lesson the first time...

  • Who is this for?
  • We have the Poangs as well, and I can't recline in them. The only comfortable position is to rip the cushion out and put it on the floor, and sit on the floor. >.<

    I have the seatbelt cutting my neck problem too - and I'm not exactly short. :/

  • All Natural
  • Pads maybe. Not tampons. Tribble hair isn't very absorptive.

    Also: Ew. I hate you.

  • have you ever been given a warning or suspension for using profane language at work?
  • First I was asked politely to not swear, even if I was not a customer facing employee.

    Second time I was cautioned was because I'd switched to swearing in another language. Manager thought it was hilarious, but they still knew I was swearing.

    I spent the next five years being increasingly creative with how I swore. A temporary (and loud) revert to English swearing when I was in a workplace accident was kindly ignored due to circumstance.

    There was no third warning.

  • Ted Cruz uses unauthorized images of cisgender students in anti-transgender attack ads
  • Too right. Hawai'i is far above him.

    I should have been more detailed in my criteria. Uninhabited, no vegetation, maybe even only an inch above sea level.

    I do like the raft idea. Drop him off with the flat pack, he can assemble it himself.

  • We don't want him. Surely there's an island in the middle of the ocean he can be sent.

  • People of Lemmy, what games have you been playing lately?
  • ASKA, Satisfactory, and No Man's Sky. Occasionally a bit of Pax Dei thrown in in case my building scratch is itchy.

  • So bad it was actually entertaining
  • There was a place like this in Vancouver, no idea if it is still there.

    The Elbow Room. "Food and service is our name, abuse is our game!"

    One of our group asked for water, he got told his legs worked and he could get it himself. The food was amazing, although we did get told off for not finishing our plate.

  • Ahh, My cabbages!
  • Indeed.

  • PlayStation suddenly pulls Hotline Miami 2 from Aussie PS5 owners after realising country's ratings board denied game's release a decade ago
  • And only pulled after some pearl clutching nanny noticed and decided to point out the original ruling.

    Not the first time someone had a dummy spit over a game that is less problematic than the average M rated movie...

  • Instagram and Threads moderation is out of control
  • I have so far managed to avoid threads, but Insta is filled with 'Comment forcedengagement to get the pattern/recipie/cureforthecommon cold' or stolen videos with facts about some shitty car.

    I block them, but that appears to count as interest, so I end up with more of that shit shoved at me.

    I'm only there because the crafters I want to see are there, and none of them want to join anything federated. :(

  • The real oppressors
  • The winddown before sleep is nice, it's so peaceful outside.

    (Currently at a 5.30am bedtime.)

  • The real oppressors
  • Moving the fireworks to when the sun is high in the sky will be a hard sell, no one can see them and everyone will complain, daysider and nightsider.

    Tell the markets to stay open past noon or the shopping centres to stay open later than five. Late night shopping where I live is six pm. Weekend shopping? Four pm, unless the shop randomly decides to close at two. I've lost count how often I have rocked up to a store, and hour before closing, to find out they closed early so they could go enjoy the sun.

    Seriously, I hate that if I keep to my normal sleep schedule (and this avoids insomnia and being sick all the time), I have a two hour window on most days to get things done. That two hours is from the moment I wake until shops close, not including the normal wake up stuff like showering, or eating. It also doesn't include travel time, and I live in a sprawl where everything is a half hour away. I'd love to support the farmers markets, or browse the local markets and fairs. They are closing when I arrive, and I've already sacrificed sleep to try and attend.

  • Cross-franchise appeal
  • I love Carrie even more now.

  • What methodology do you prefer? Monolith factory or microfactories
  • The strip mall is modular as well, done in the blueprint maker, so they are crazy easy to stack and expand.

  • What methodology do you prefer? Monolith factory or microfactories
  • Strip mall. Everything has it's own little store, with the back area where new stock arrives. Even has a nice multi lane road going the middle.

  • Day 59 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots
  • I have ended every session of Sea of Thieves by setting my ship on fire.

    I still feel bad for the two guys who were laughing as my ship burned (while on my ship) when the gunpowder kegs exploded and killed us all.

    But only a little bad. They knew things would explode eventually, I was carrying a keg of gunpowder, and my ship was on fire!

  • Regain Control in my ass
  • Cure for me - in my arse.

  • The Wizard of Speed and Time (1988)

    A stop-motion movie from many years ago. An enthusiastic, campy romp that pokes fun at the movie making industry.

    It's one of those movies that leaves you giggling, or scratching your head in confusion.
