What beautiful, bittersweet memories. Thank you for sharing them.

It’s pineapple on a pizza. Of course it’s good.

Like a record baby

Pourquoi?

No toes?

Yorkshire Gold, two sugars, splash of evaporated milk.

Lol

Jesus. Who are the numbnut 62% who chose Yes?

So weird, maybe it’s just the ones I know. I’m probably stereotyping them!

I think it’s just how boomers were raised. I’m middle-aged and I don’t wash chicken, but my boomer mom is horrified at the thought. She came for a visit and made sure I washed the chicken before I cooked with it. 🙄

Is he orange?

Comparison is the thief of joy.

Yeah, aka we want to RIF but are too cheap to pay severance.

I still use minidiscs!

I was curious so i just checked. Assuming the drink is water and there’s no dipping sauce or sauces added to the burger, it comes to 760 calories (macros are 44g fat, 63g carbs, 31g protein). That’s definitely more than half of my daily calories, but I’m a middle-aged 5’0" lady. Still, that’s a huge amount of fat, and surprisingly little protein!

Among American users, this probably has a lot to do with the recent election.

Not enough jeans. :(

Real answer: there’s been an uptick in the amount of content lately, which is great. I’ve also unfortunately noticed an uptick in belligerent comments, which often detracts from the conversations taking place.

I don’t generally say hateful things, so no risk of being censored for that, and I like that my instance doesn’t censor anything that could possibly be considered a slur the way .ml does.

I was originally on .ml and I remember seeing a comment that had a legitimate use of a word that could be considered a slur in another context. I don’t remember the exact scenario, but it was something equivalent to saying “response time retardation” in relation to drunk driving. And “retardation” was censored, which created unnecessary confusion. I’d been thinking of switching instances anyway, and that silly little example is what pushed me over the edge. I guess I’d rather not be cushioned from every word that might be hurtful, especially when doing so can cause confusion.

No hate or disrespect to .ml, by the way - I’m very grateful to Dessalines and crew for creating lemmy and Jerboa, and I respect their right to administer their instance the way they see fit. To me that’s the neat thing about the fediverse - it allows for a “different strokes for different folks” approach. :)

Looks like Boris Johnson.
