[OC] Brackish (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

All girls corrupt like waves of brackish salt
Stolen from the world their youth the delta mix
Lies are told to make them think that it's their fault

Though women try to shield them from the stiffened gault
They are dashed and churned into those bluish bricks
All girls corrupt like waves of brackish salt

A purity they chase as if their ends they think they'll halt
Yet purity escapes and dies along the River Styx
Lies are told to make them think that it's their fault

As girls do age and stiffen up like malt
To be like brick and stone for society's new picks
All girls corrupt like waves of brackish salt
Lies are told to make them think that it's their fault

[OC] [FB] Bluebirds (lemmy.world)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Bluebirds flit about the garden as I watch
a moment pass in time as I cry
They flit about and sing a song for me
keep company as I sit alone and stare

"What is it like to fly?" I ask the bluebirds
yet ne'er an answer do they ever give
"Stay a moment please?" I ask the bluebirds
yet ne'er a one does ever stay for me

They mustn't understand me, thinks I
as the bluebirds carry on
That's right, they cannot answer so
and yet the bluebirds call

Rage within boils over like Vesuvius
as the bluebirds mock me still
"Answer, damn you!" I do to them so shout
yet still no answer is their's given

A treat! A treat will liken them to me!
I think as I brandish then some bread
Yet eat they do and no answer still is their's
as they mock my gift with silent pecks

Will I never be free? Shall I perish here then?
I think as the songbirds sing their song
"You mock me still, just leave me be!"
I cry as tears do then I shed

But birds know not my prison cell
they know just gardens free
They cannot speak some truth to me
a truth they'll never know

Y'know most of us audiophiles are managing actual libraries.... but they're not mp3. Mines mostly flac.

Except for when it's very important to Russia.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

Both. I choose both.

This is my job: to make perfectly clear what is and isn't allowed. In no uncertain terms I will make sure this place is as free from transphobia as possible.

"We exist" isn't an ideology.

Frankly, I don't care what you think of it. Transphobia is not allowed. This isn't a democracy. It's pretty simple: don't be an asshole.

Every comment removed violates the civility rules of this instance. Which reads thus (emphasis mine):

Do not engage in name calling, ad hominem attacks, or any other uncivil behaviour. Criticize ideas, never people.

IOW: Be transphobic and be prepared for me to iron fist the vagueness of those words. It's pretty easy not to be an asshole.

[-] [email protected] 40 points 11 months ago

idk, I just got to yeet like at least a handful of transphobes into oblivion so.... was pretty fun.

[-] [email protected] 199 points 11 months ago

Mod here. Just want to openly and unequivocally state... I will remove your comment if you're transphobic. I will refer to trans people to let me know if you are being transphobic. I will ban you if you make an egregiously off colour comment. and I will take pleasure in doing this. Fuck your transphobic bullshit, go somewhere else. Nobody wants you here.

"Censorship" lol, cry harder.
Her platform, her rules. Don't like it? Leave. This ain't a government, you have no free speech rights here or anywhere else on the internet, don't like how a site operates/what a site allows? Then leave.

[-] [email protected] 60 points 11 months ago

Pretty much only conservatives. They're actually pretty obsessed with thinking about children being raped in bathrooms.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
I could like Shakespeare pen idyllic lines!
Or is that but a quaint and drawn cliche?
Cliche, archaic, sexist too I find.

When but this hardship ever passes by,
And you and I like lovers ever be,
Will be the day that I release a sigh,
This task complete a payment, it's a fee.

A fee like dowry, no, again that is,
Just slightly gross to treat you like a toy,
That one might buy inside a Target, Iz,
You mean such more than idle trinket joy.

So here I end my heart wrought task I'm done,
No more shall I be needing write, you've won.

You can actually blame Disney for much of this.

Porsche's Taycan is $10k more than the Model S and superior in pretty much every aspect other than range. And even then it has a 250-300 mile range.

Not to mention it handles better, is based on a well proven frame, has better safety ratings, it's the better car in all bit range and charger availability (and Porsche has committed to setting up chargers in every multiple cities across America)

And where Porsche chargers do exist: they're faster than the Tesla Superchargers. So.... idk what's this "are not as good" to you? What metric are you using to determine this? Until you articulate what metric you are judging the car from any discussion further than this is pointless.

Edit: And I've owned both cars. The Taycan is far better on road in my experience in Los Angeles, and I'll be able to tell you how it fares on a cross country trip soon.

My Tesla was all but forgotten after I got the Taycan.

[OC] The Changeling (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

In days of old when now was then,
A babe sat keening, bain sidhe's mournful strain,
Within the glade, where naught appeared to sight,
Yet lantern Jack cast shadows in the night.
Both fey and devil, angel too, did spurn,
The one who caused fair Cliodhna's tears to churn.

A babe so spectre thin and gaunt and frail,
A babe so fraught no Danann dare to touch,
Scorned by mortals and heard in frightened tale,
Until fey and devil did claim them such.

A changeling child not changeling born,
Did bring to Medb a heimal warmth,
Still the spectre Erin sits alone and keens,
And at her keen does pause the faerie queen,
At the keen, the keen with echoed thrills,
Through the barrows of the ever still.

And then the day which is but now,
The changeling babe does ever keen,
A babe embraced by deadly ploughs,
And scorned by mortal and the faerie queen.

Court just recessed for lunch after FL State Prosecutors and Defence gave closing arguments. State's closing was fairly strong focusing on the elements of the charges and evidence of testimony. Mark Eiglarsh began his closing very strongly as well however ran out of time after being granted additional time. Failed to cover the elements of the case. Prosecution rebuttal after lunch. Judge denied Eiglarsh's request for more time.

Ever since Battleye was introduced I've gotten constant issues with contacting servers. Is there any fix? I've changed my MTU, changed the DNS, idfk what else I can do to fix it.
