Just because your queerness is less easily depicted, it's no less valid.

On clearance? Time to stock up!

If you loved the look of your "good china" and wanted to enjoy it every day, but couldn't afford to replace broken or chipped or worn-down pieces all the time, displaying it was safer than using it every day. You could eat off the same old plate, whether it's a damaged part of the set or something else entirely, while looking at the pretty ones you're not having to wash (or even dust often, if behind glass). Then for big fancy gatherings you'd have enough nice ones for everyone.

Edit: Looking at OP's picture brings me memories of long-ago college parties, so it's a similar reminder of good times with good friends that old grandmas might get from looking at their china case.

For a second I thought, "is this Loss?"

It wasn't. That would at least have been clever.

I enjoy Earl Grey tea plain, but I can't call it "black," even though it's "black tea." Because it's orange-ish brown. 🐈

Black coffee is much blacker πŸˆβ€β¬›

Did you not read the word both?

[-] Mouselemming 2 points 2 days ago

It could be a tool used for that discussion. Assign everyone both versions. Then discuss the ways the simplified version falls short of the original (and, because teens rebel, the ways it's better) so that by the time you're done, the kids who struggled to read the original will get more than the easy one could give them (and have really bad errors repaired) while the easy readers will have honed the ability to break down complex concepts. The middle kids will get a bit of both. And there's bound to be examples of the way words change meaning over time.

You made points others didn't, and your edit demonstrates another aspect of the alone/crowd response to a prompt.

Laughing with a "crowd" supports you until you realize you were alone all the time, whereas thinking you're the only commenter frees you to share your insights, but finding you were part of a crowd made you embarrassed about it. Don't be. We all know being first allows comments to get more points, but more slowly typed comments also add value to the conversation.

Sorry guys, we know it's a problem for you, but you're gonna have to carry this to term.

You can't just post something like this without making sure they're okay! Like either they're being adopted or at least their mother is coming right back to take care of them, and is getting plenty to eat! And someone is going to see they all get spayed/neutered, including mom!

Or anthropomorphizing it, expressing sympathy for it, in a country with a lot of suicides and a love of robots.

The fact they're not going to just replace it with another robot could argue for either case.

Okay, for those who only read the headline and not the article, the text is the Bhagavad Gita.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhagavad_Gita

So, not poster-sized. More like adding a Bible to the library. I think you're going to run into a tldr problem there. I don't know the Gita, is there a shorter excerpt that could be on a poster?

To paraphrase from a helpful Redditor, "a recent update has made the trashcan icon the same green color as the bar. But it's still in the right-hand corner and will appear when tapped." Also do small batches or you'll crash the app. The recordings can take up a lot of space on your phone.

My muscle memory is having a stupidly hard time shifting from Reddit to Lemmy, so I keep typing out comments I've put careful thought into, and at the last minute hitting the Cancel button!

How do I go back to being myself? (self.nostupidquestions)
submitted 11 months ago by Mouselemming to c/[email protected]

Ever since LemmyWorld went down in the hacking, I haven't been able to log in using the account I created there. I do the login thing, and the little pop-up says "Logged In" but I'm not. I can't see my Subscribed feed, I can't comment or post. And I couldn't ask this question! I also couldn't start fresh because I only have one email, and it knew that. So I came over to shitjustworks which graciously allowed me to create this profile without an email address. I guess it's okay, I can work on resubscribing to stuff under this name, neither one is my old Reddit name anyway, but I would prefer going back to my other account or at least knowing what happened...? In case it happens again?
