Once everything was locked down, the small business I was using locally to supply exotic wood (and not-so-exotic) could no longer deliver. I offered to make multiple trips to haul it myself, but then they started going under as well. No one could deliver to them, so they couldn't sell.

It broke my heart for them. They were a small, family-owned company. Last I saw, they're no longer in business. So sad that they lost what they had...

I was lucky, since I wasn't making a whole lot anyway, so I didn't really lose too much. I supplemented the loss by going back to doing an "essential" trade.

Really makes me wonder what could've been, though...

Success: building guitars. Disasters: Covid tanked my business… building guitars.

Nah, you’re right. Only my mother and father are. ☺️

No, I'm Dutch, I was born and raised here without influence of the Norwegian culture.

Oh, I guess that’s where we differ. My family is from Leipzig, and the “German culture” (which is largely different from that of Americans in my particular state) was something engrained in me since birth.

I also spent 1/3 of my life visiting family in Germany.

But more importantly, my comment was mostly a remark about the idiocy of American politics, and how I’d like to distance myself from the notion of “Americanism” as much as possible, even on a genetic level.

It’s not that serious 😅

Guess I’ll have to marry my way back home 😈

As a descendent of German migrants, I’m officially dropping the “American” from “German-American.” I no longer want to be associated with this level of stupidity.

From a distance, it looks like a Waffle House menu that’s been scribbled on with crayons. But when you zoom in, you see god.

Bernhardt indicated that people whose views don’t align with Trump’s should not seek political appointments in his administration.

What’s wrong with buttholes?

Rubio could’ve saved a lot of letters by just saying, “thought crime.”

Does it need to be mixed with milk thistle or just consumed alone? I keep forgetting 🤔

 

I know this sounds arbitrary and pointless, but I love sharing screenshots from Lemmy to other platforms.

If this is too difficult to implement, please disregard, but I’d love to see it.

Yup, it’s weed. I got high. Then I ate some crackers.

Hell yeah.

It’s not even a real challenge. They’re either too easy, or they instakill, which just ruins the entire experience.

The whole, “Ahh, you thought I was dead, but now I’m changing” bullshit gets old, too. They’re granted a new, full health bar. Neat.

It doesn’t seem like they’ve done much balancing at all, unless they’ve nerfed builds. That’s about it.

 

Had a user here on the Tankie thread that was obviously just being contentious for the sake of it, and being insulting to users here.

I hate being that person who bans, deletes posts, etc. It seems kind of authoritarian to me. So please, lovely Lemmings, be cool to each other.

I need some TST friends (self.thesatanictemple)
 

The local chapter here has broken off because of issues with Lucien Greaves (I'm avoiding that discussion), so I'm kind of floating around.

Even having a few likeminded people on Lemmy would be great.

 

Yahoo UK has the story, but Yahoo in America says it's 404'd. 🤔

Aside from the more obvious reasons that this is terrible, I also have selfish reasons for being upset about this (I'll edit this later).

This is the first time I've smoked this strain, and holy shit, it's nice.

Pretty strong, but a nice, happy high.

The doge[.]gov website that was spun up to track Elon Musk’s cuts to the federal government is insecure and pulls from a database that can be edited by anyone, according to two separate people who found the vulnerability and shared it with 404 Media. One coder added at least two database entries that are visible on the live site and say “this is a joke of a .gov site” and “THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN -roro.”

Doge[.]gov was hastily deployed after Elon Musk told reporters Tuesday that his Department of Government Efficiency is “trying to be as transparent as possible. In fact, our actions—we post our actions to the DOGE handle on X, and to the DOGE website.” At the time, DOGE was an essentially blank webpage. It was built out further Wednesday and Thursday, and now shows a mirror of the @DOGE X account posts, as well as various stats about the U.S. government’s federal workforce.
