Mrrrm, I think we've all felt this or similar sentiments about many categories of convict, and especially those guilty of violent crimes, but I don't have enough faith in the system to back the idea of a label in perpetuity by default. We can look into each other's backgrounds if we're so inclined, but otherwise I'd prefer for convicted offenders who have served their sentence to feel they can be contributors to society, and not to remain mired in the anti-social, dangerous paradigm from whence their bad behaviour emerged. These aren't people who set out with a sense of boundaries or harm or why it is bad to rape. If we can't stop them before the fact, we have a duty to encourage them to learn these things after the fact.

Hrm,

I didn't sign up with an email, but was able to login shortly after applying (less than 30 mins, I think?).

From my end it seems as if I am able to subscribe to communities and reply & upvote, and was also able to login via mlem, but now wondering whether I'm really here at all...

If any passing Beehawers are able to read this and feel like letting me know, I'd be so grateful.

What is this concept, enough?

Mine is four slices of wheaten bread, toasted quite deeply, with butter & usually with a lot of crushed hot chili peppers on top. Though I eat everything, adore most dishes, and am a decent cook, I have to make a conscious effort to get other foods into my regular rotation. Lot of that comes down to forgetting to eat until am shaking with hunger, but still.

Looking forward to rustling up a batch of your bacon'd water chestnuts.

Curious about the subs that have reverted to public already... r/stocks just now & saw a few revert last night.

Beautiful. Would love to see more of her work.

Your favourite sometimes nudges my main one out of the picture! Adore the texture and flavour and scent of udon. Usually have mine with soy sauce and grated vegetable ribbons, sometimes a dash of sesame seed oil, sometimes an egg poached in the heat of the noodles.

Ah sweet, I'm definitely here.

Thank you for popping up so fast with the reassurance.

Struggling a lot with this lately.

Had been using DDG for years without any problems, but it became unusably bad for me a while ago. Tried Qwant and Startpage, which were an improvement, though not great, then began to struggle with them also.

Briefly had a good time with some Searx instances, but must be doing something badly wrong (or am developing early onset dementia, hahaha) as can no longer get it to work well either.

In short, I can get up Wikipedia entries & usually major websites providing I use a single search term, but can seldom get more complex searches to work no matter what operands I use.

Hoping to find something that suits, as it is quite frustrating.

So happy you've decided to show us more of your work. This one is also very beautiful. It takes incredible skill to indicate form & negative space with such economy, and especially I love how the lines have an abstract beauty in themselves.

Do you sell your pieces anywhere?

Should be possible to disable FaceTime in your settings.

Ah you are so good.

Managed to find your gallery's site in the meantime, though this just means there is so much more to fall for! Gah.

Will be in touch with them or with you shortly. If directly with you then it'll be through this place as I don't have access to Instagram.

Enjoyable so far. Feel a bit mystified, but it always takes me ages to figure out how to use new things.

Currently messing around with a browser extension to change the appearance and layout, as I had been finding that a bit of a hurdle.

Thank you.

Looks like it had yet to be reported. Here's hoping the details I gave are useful enough (not very techy).

He wouldn't get life even if he were a poor randomer and convicted of his crimes. Maybe 2 years suspended.

Found an extension for my browser which allowed me to tweak how things look. It is quite buggy, but makes using Lemmy a bit easier.

Beautiful.

build a spring,

Damn, had been wondering what the hell that was. Initially mistook it for some kind of new-fangled style of movie-making, but a few things made me realise that was not the case and that it was probably happening at the device-level.

Furnishings are all hired for the photos/viewings from one of those property dressing companies, because apparently many buyers can't imagine furnished rooms. Typically you can opt to buy these as a job lot from the property dresser. The overall look is simultaneously tacky & bland but really not bad compared to most dressed places.

Sheetrock in the fireplaces is likely because the refurbishment isn't yet 100% completed per the text. The inserts are either still at the restorers or still being recreated to the original design.

The restoration looks way too harsh in many areas, but if the house was in particularly bad shape before work began, it gets hard to fix damage and retain the softness of age whilst complying with building regs.

Spotlights, however, are death. Whichever heritage officer they worked with should have forbade them that.

Mhmm.

Excited to join for the founding principles and the vibe so far fulfills the expectation, but also really love bees.
