If signalgate didn’t bring down Hegseth, there is no chance of ice Barbie going from this.

We use “no bueno” quite a bit in our house. Not sure how it crept in but I like it.

For us foreigners, 6th grade is around 10 / 11 years old?

Our taste in movies would be a perfect match. Grab some popcorn and a bucket of wine and let’s get this marathon started, baby. Plus, I haven’t seen any of the movies I haven’t seen. Ideal.

That’s lovely :)

Wow. That’s a good one.

Oh I hope I don’t judge you or anyone else that I come across based on how they look and I am absolutely certain there are many that are like me.

Mr or Mrs monster. Love yourself. I deep down mean it.

Fuck yo’ genes.

That was the last time I think anyone has ever stood up for me.

Sorry to hear that. Do you mind me asking if you’re in a big city?

Very nice of the lady though!

Willful childlessness is such a hilarious concept. I’m rollin’ around here.

What are they gonna do? Check if you’re having unprotected sex sufficiently? Check how many miscarriages you’ve had? HAHAHAHAh. Fuckin’ donkeys.

edit: Small gubment.

That’s fuckin’ awesome.

I’ll give my story which is small but had a huge impact on me.

On my honeymoon. It’s myself, my wife and a Chinese dude in a suit on our way to Indonesia on the last leg of the flight in the 3 seats.

We get chatting. Newlyweds, congratulations, yada yada. Back and forth. Lasts a decent amount of time. He laughs because we ask him if he’s Indonesian (we’ve never been there before and Indonesian folks do not look Chinese lol).

Before he goes he gives us his business card and says we can call him 24/7 if we have any emergencies or difficulties of any kind on our trip. It was such a seemingly insignificant gesture but just took a bunch of hidden pressure off that we hadn’t even thought was there.

It left a huge impression on me though we never needed it. Ever since I have liberally given my phone number to folks traveling to Ireland (including a nice chap on Lemmy that I nearly met up with). Nobody has ever called me but I would jump in the car on a moments notice if they did.

a week after the latter unveiled a brand new statue of another Soviet figurehead, Josef Stalin, in Moscow.

Yikes. They’re still celebrating Stalin with new statues. Bizarre.

I don’t get this (as I do use British English). Could you explain?

Myself and a friend decided to share a cigarette in the toilets one day. This was fairly common practice way back then. You’d get someone to look out and they would cough if a teacher was coming. It wasn’t flawless but it has a high success rate.

So we’re utterly destroying one cigarette between the two of us as quickly as we can and there’s a cough followed by loud banging on the door. We’re rumbled.

“OPEN UP. I KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE”

So we open the door, sheepishly.

“WHAT WERE YOU BOYS DOING IN THERE?”

Now we’re both confused and look at each other. I timidly reply:

“Smoking, sir”

“WELL I HOPE THAT’S ALL YOU WERE DOING”

and the man stormed off. We couldn’t believe our luck. Smoking apparently A-OK once you’re not being gay.

You know, you could up your viewership by at least 33% by posting a link ;)

That’s a bummer. I find a lot of toxicity in YouTube comments that are just wildly disconnected from my experience with actual humans in the real world.

I think that’s one of the things I really like about Lemmy in that folks will generally respectfully disagree or be kind to each other. Generally.

Not too shabby!

Didn’t realise this was a feature. Just enabled it.

You are at +1 now.

Edit: +4 after reading the comments. I’m a prolific upvoter.

That is a laudable goal. Hard thing to pass on but so valuable. Very best of luck with it.

Yeah there is entirely too little detail in this article.

Smith sold her daughter to a traditional healer, who was interested in her eyes and fair complexion.

This could be interpreted in an entirely horrific way. It’s the middle of the night here. I was hoping to get back to sleep like :(
