She has a husband, you know...

This is close enough. Thank you!

I would pay good money for an alternate dub track of KOTH by a voiceover cast with strong Japanese accents, reading Japanglish approximations of the original script with same inflections they'd use if it was a standard anime.

Boomhauer alone would be a fucking blast.

Fucking competence. I wish I was bumbling fool with severe Dunning-Kruger more often than I care to admit.

  1. Pull down the packaging to expose the seal.
  2. If there's a little 'extra' plastic bit attached to the ziplock, pull this and the other side. Using your thumbnail to loosen the seal while doing this can help.
  3. Take a big whiff from the bag, then put your weed in a mason jar with a moisture pak like a decent human being.
  4. Save the bag and bring it back to the dispo if they take empty packaging. It's probably still going into a landfill, but at least you can say you tried.

Alternatively, grab a knife or some scissors and skip to step 3.

Am middle-aged(ish) nerd, can confirm this would work.

As a kid, I thought Trailer Park Boys was an accurate, contemporary documentary about the world I lived in (or at least that of my friends who lived in the trailer park down the way).

Edit: Oh, and you had to go to a Chris Brothers store to buy Chris Brothers pepperoni - Sobeys didn't carry it yet. It was glorious every time.

I wanted to be option C sooooo bad until the money ran out on the first leg...

Maybe tomorrow...

I mean, a hike is really just a long walk. It often refers to long walks in the country or wilderness, but that isn't a necessary component.

That said, I don't know if anyone has any real strict distance thresholds for a 'hike' (see: minimum 10 miles/16 km or something). I could maybe see adding a caveat that it should be for purely recreational purposes, rather than say walking to work or something.

Fuck it - you're an avid hiker IMO. Walks in nature are nice, don't get me wrong, but I like all the hidden gems you can find hiking in an urban environment (I count graffiti, weird posters, dilapidated buildings/infrastructure, weird shit on the side of the road, etc.)

Paperback books are totally acceptable, really just meant physical copies over EPUBs or PDFs on your phone or something.

Nothing necessarily wrong with those, but if you're gonna read in bed I prefer paper - no blue light, notifications, and other stuff that detracts from sleep quality.

Sure, people say hiking is attractive, but I can only assume there's a bias to forest hiking.

Meanwhile, I go out and do a four to five hour urban hike and people act like I have some sort of disorder.

"wHy DoN't YoU jUsT dRiVe?" Because a drive to the beer store in the town across the river is an errand, a walk to the same place is a fucking ADVENTURE, Helen!

Might I suggest reading (specifically hard-copy books)? Doesn't require much energy, and if you do it in bed with a dim light chances are you will get your sleep too (+ higher potential for vivid dreams, but that may just be me, YMMV).

It's also, like, super attractive, apparently.

Because someone, eventually, is going to make this post anyway, we might as well get it over with. I know someone posted something a week ago, but I feel something a little more neutral would be useful.

There's a lot of talk on lemmy.world right now about lemmy.ml at an instance level (edit: see here: https://sh.itjust.works/post/20400058). A lot of it is very similar to the discussions we've had here before- accusations of ideologically-based censorship, promotion of authoritarian left propaganda, 'tankie-ism', etc. The subject of the admin's, and Lemmy dev's, political beliefs is back up as a discussion point. The word defederation is getting thrown around, and some of our beloved sh.it.heads are part of the conversation.

What do people think about lemmy.ml? Is there evidence that the instance is managed in such a way that it creates problems for Lemmy users, and/or users of sh.itjust.works specifically? Are they problems that extend to the entire instance or primary user base, or are the examples referenced generally limited to specific communities/moderators/users? Are people here, in short, interested in putting federation to lemmy.ml to a vote?

To our admin team and moderators: What are your experiences with lemmy.ml? Have you run into any specific problems with their userbase, or challenges related to our being federated with them?

Full disclosure: I have very little personal stake in this. I don't really engage with posts about international events, I don't share my political beliefs (such as they are) online beyond "Don't be a shitbag, help your fellow human out when you can", and have not run into any of the concerns brought up personally. But I'm also not the kind of user who would butt against this stuff often in the first place.

What I will say is that I have not personally witnessed activites like brigading or promotion of really nasty shit from lemmy.ml. I cannot say this about other instances we defederated from before. But again, this may just be a product of how I use Lemmy, and does not account for the experiences of others.

This is just an opportunity for those who do have strong opinions on this topic to say their piece and, more importantly, share their evidence.

If nothing else, given similar conversations a year ago, this will be an interesting account of what sh.itjust.works looks like today (happy belated cake day everybody!)

 
 

?

 

For those who might ask "What does that even mean?", this is what I'm reading that triggered the question: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/transformative-experience/

Recent can mean the most recent you can remember, even if it was years ago. Interested in what y'all might say.

Final edit: Has nothing to do with specific terms used, this person is correct. Language setting related problem. https://sh.itjust.works/comment/173272

First Edit: Damn, seems to be working fine now. Wonder if it was community-level wherever I tried to post (don't know if language filters can be implemented at that level. Can't remember what I tried to reply to), or if TheDude is updating some stuff and I happened to post at just the wrong time? Or maybe it was a post from another instance?

Second edit: Ahhh, interesting. So it was a reply to https://kbin.social/m/main@sh.itjust.works/p/435069. And the offending word at least seems to be 'Beehaw'. Anyone have any insight re: what's happening here for a mostly Lemmy illiterate sh.it.head?

Original comment:

Just had a weird experience trying to reply to a post. Is there a language filter now? I used a very soft cuss often spoken in normal discourse (starts with a d, ends with an n, 4 letters) and got an error.

Is someone able to explain the rationale? Maybe it's just me but casual cussing is a) pretty much my default mode, and b) from the outside doesn't seem like a real problem that needs to be addressed. People cuss on the internet. Now, personally not opposed to a filter for clearly derogatory terms (you know what they are, don't @ me), but my recent experience seems a little extreme.

 

Paul Ford goes on a long, meandering, but super interesting account of code as it relates to business and our world today.

 

Figured why not make my first post here a classic ;)
