Yes. Me included.
I am Stine. Comfort the afflicted. Afflict the comfortable. High School Wrestler™. Can usually correctly use the past tense in French. Suffers from clinical depression. @stinerman@mastodon.social on Mastodon.
Yes. Me included.
You got to touch a girl’s boobies.
Jesus Christ, dude.
We’ll see if I go back to the mental hospital but I don’t foresee it happening unless work gets really bad again.
I’ve already internalized that this country is populated by shitty, hateful people. Trump winning again just confirms what I already knew.
PBS here has ads. They are short, but there are ads nonetheless. This is over and above the ads for their own shows that will be on the channel at a later date.
Was gonna say everyone with impostor syndrome thinks their life is this.
My sister put liquid dish soap in the dishwasher.
I heard tell from a Gen Xer who said cable TV used to not have ads.
Needing an ID is fine in theory, but in practice many older folks who do not drive do not have one. In order to get one you need a certified birth certificate. In order to get one of those you usually need to deal with a lot of red tape, especially if you were born at home in a rural area.
People often forget how rural the US is. Sometimes it’s hard to document exactly who you are. Especially if you were born poor and black in the South.
Could ask if she and her son wants to get dinner sometime with you and your son. As long as it’s a pretty inoffensive family restaurant, that shouldn’t be too forward. From there you can get a better understanding of her situation.
If not fluent, yes you’ll have a hard time. I’ve been there and outside of the tourist areas, people either can’t or won’t speak English.
I do recommend the USVI if the language barrier is a problem.
Exactly. You said it better than I did.
The way I feel about it is that I don’t want Lemmy to grow for growth’s sake. I want people to understand how important it is to use open protocols and free software to communicate with others and that is what will lead Lemmy and other Fediverse applications to grow.
If you think it’s a violation, report it. If they do nothing with it…you’re out of luck.
The rules for any instance boil down to, at their most basic level, “every moderation decision is up to the people who run their instance, and there is no appeal.”
It seems like fedia.io is a difference instance. You can ask lemmy.world to defederate from them. You can also block the instance yourself. Go to your settings and at the bottom block the instance.
Everything is political. What you eat. What software you use. What car you drive.

No. A trademark is to tell a customer that a certain good was made by a certain person or company. This is prevent confusion over which company makes a thing. It’s why you can’t create an operating system kernel and call it Linux. You can create a clothing company and call it Linux though because no one would be confused that Linux clothing is in any way related to the computer operating system component.
Band names can and are trademarked. So you can’t call your new band “The Beatles” or “Five Finger Death Punch”. Titles are subject to copyright though, which is a separate thing altogether.
Being on an SSRI helps.
I also have a Nebula subscription and recommend it as well. $60/yr or a $300 lifetime subscription.
I haven’t done it myself, but I plan to watch a bunch of pre-Hays Code movies from the late 20s and early 30s. Many of these movies are in the public domain and more are entering it for the next few years.
