Maybe the issues is they do believe in the bible and christianity? This is the religion that wiped out any others that were not aligned with it's specific message and goals. It absorbed it's morals, rituals and holidays from the others it destroyed. I mean, there was a fucking inquisition! Crusades. How many have been murdered by not following the 'law of god' or not being in the 'right' religion? Is it really morally right to treat and trade women like possessions or farm animals? To kill the firstborn of everyone who disagrees? 'Oh, we dont follow that part anymore, we cherry pick what we want to use and believe in.'

It does not take religion to have morals. Being religious doctrine, does not make a thing moral.

Lotta party poopers in these comments. I'm with you. Many indicators this is a flat, painted picture if a driver is paying attention and going appropriate speeds.

These are amazing for guitars

Can I join? I can't help with programming but I can bring pictures of cats...

Came to mention Les myself. Anytime I hear he has released something with another artist is always a surprising treat.

We have multiple streaming services available thanks to phone plans, family, etc.. 99.9% of the time our TV is on, it's on Pluto TV. Multiple free Star Trek channels rolling 24/7!

Our dog has separation anxieties so we leave the TV on to help create noise when we leave. Helps mask some of the neighbors noise which freaks him out -car doors, bicycles, people existing... No worry of Pluto asking him if he is still watching either!

I'll just send an email.

Some of do wish we were tall. Not all of us care what a potential mate finds "cute". We want to be able to be safe wearing seatbelts instead of higher chances of decapitation. We want to be responded to like adults, especially in our 40's, instead of treated like children. We want to be independent while working on and around our homes without fear of falling of stools and ladders to put dishes away or calling a man for help. Being told a job your interested in wouldn't be a good fit, because of your size...

I even have pairs of "shit stompers", as my friends call them, platform boots that give me about 2 1/2 inches more height so I can be self-reliant. Sold as "clubbing boots" but I wear them regularly for mundane shit.

Getting literally looked down on, by everyone, everyday, gets really tiring, especially after decades of it. I am 5"3 (so not even THAT short) and can't see shit in large crowds besides asses and backs. Have been actually stepped on by tall folks (even people just at 5'6"... like, come the fuck on) who don't realize there are people shorter than their eyes and don't care to look down. My head gets hit by average and tall people's elbows (hard) in club or crowd environments because again, they have no idea someone can exist below their eyeline, or just don't care. Can't go to bars or clubs alone because we are easy "marks" so we need an adult or a man to accompany us, to dissuade sexual preditors.

Anyone remember vehicles with bench seats? How degrading is it to not be able to reach the pedals because the seat only has 3 notches, and the closest one is still for people taller than you? Getting told "you should get yourself a booster seat" like I'm a kid in a restaurant.

Not every girl wants to be "cute". Some of just want to "be", and be safe. Self defense classes really drilled into my head the dangers of "looking like an easy mark" it's assumed short women won't put up as much of a fight and are easier prey. Learned to carry a "big" presence, and found a lot less sketchy characters would try to approach me. Staying that alert is fucking exhausting and makes going out, at night, in cities, to large parking lots, to bars and clubs, to concerts, a lot less enjoyable.

Sorry for the rant. But just because some folks might see short as cute, does NOT mean we short folks concur, or see that "cute" makes up for the rest of the shit and dangers we have to deal with. Or, even want to be "cute".

Got this from another lemmy user.

Someone shared this link the other day. Let me pass it along!

I am still catching up on all fantastic pics everyone got! One that also stood out to me was the 104 yr old man holding a sign about already fighting fascism o ce before. I should have saved it to share, though, maybe it's right that I let that person find your post to share it.

I may not have enough context on this guy and how he stands on stuff but, I usually read "per" as in "stated by" which would mean he is relaying that bit from Walz. And wouldn't make me worried this guy is backing the violence.

If if meant it as in Walz coordinated/hired the hit or something, then that is unhinged.

Lots of great advice being given!

I wanted to note about the litter. We use the pine pellets from Tractor Supply. The caveat though, no real odor control (per store stuff is made with baking soda, farm stuff not). So, we buy a big ass bag from the wholesale store, use an old large spice sprinkling jar that we can refill, and sprinkle pretty liberally around, and then use some of the pet type of scented baking soda and do a light sprinkle. Use a little scoop to spread a lil and it's good.

We have 4 cats, 6 boxes. Our pine litter goes in a standard pan and a hooded box. Then 2 of the hard zeolite pellet type boxes hat have the urine pad trays, and 2 auto raking boxes with crystal litter. Almost once a month someone will still hit the floor 🙄 Our girl has aim problems sometimes, but she's still cute.

Our local libraries do this too! They are free but waaay less rowdy than others I've tried (i loke a lol rowdy). And, usually One and Done campaigns. Do double check if you do see your library has them, ours do adult and teen in different groups.

I mentioned this one on another post. It's good enough I'm gonna throw it out there again. Kung Fu Mahjongg. All 3. ....and Kung Fu Hustle

Edit to add, thier whole troop is amazing. Silly stories made amazingly entertaining, due to the charismatic cast and, creative and well executed choreography.

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil! Amazing movie! I put it on one day just so I could check it off my list of new things out and, figured if I love the Evil Dead series (and also, as someone else mentioned in the thread, the Re-Animator) how awful could this be... it wasn't. It was fantastic.

Enjoyed Little Evil too. So, I'm putting Colossal on my list right now!

Combs just brings a captivating presence wherever he goes!

King Fu Mahjongg, and all the rest of that troops movies.

Myy asss!

And so he says to me, 'you wanna be a bad guy?' and I say, 'Yeah baby! I wanna be bad!' I say 'SURF'S UP, SPACE PONIES! I'm making gravy without the lumps! ' AHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA!
