Hell yeah, please ban declawing. It's inhumane. And no, I'm not a nut or even a vegetarian (and nothing wrong with vegetarians), I'm just sane.

And girls with big cocks.

Get away from lemmy.ml. That's the problem.

But why is Barack Obama milking cows.

SLEEPY JOE HAS AWOKEN.

Hug = sexual

Asking = assault

Okay, buddy.

"Get informed"

Bold of you to tell people to do something that dangerous, Amazon.

Chrome stopped being good 6 to 8 years ago.

How about you fix the real problem, yeah?

Wait until they learn that the thumbs-up in some countries means what the middle finger does in the US...

This sounds incredibly illegal? Where the fuck is the law?

Hexbear is up and down Lemmy trying to tell us that ISrAeL CaUsEd aLL tHiS aNd DeSeRvEs WhAt tHeY GeT. Why? Fuck if I know, but my best guess is they just hate anyone America supports, regardless of any nuances. BOTH Israel and Palestine-- and not ALL of them, obviously-- are wrong and evil in this war.

I'm 35 fucking years old and am not a Sonic fanboy. With that said, this is really fucking stupid. Sonic is as coordinated, hardy, and physically-strong as Spider-Man, and that's not even talking about speed. He also smashes clean through robots and spaceships with his own back and head, shrapnel and all.

On multiple occasions God instructed people in the Bible how to make a medicine. Fuck idiots.

What's funny is how absurd this is. Most flowers don't look like birds and they're fine.

I know I'm going to get downvoted for this, but "modern UI" doesn't have to suck. It's just that a lot of companies don't give a shit. Modern design is about accessibility— about the ease of finding and using things (including general readability). Google and many others have violated these principles with their "modern" UIs. People shouldn't say "modern bad", they should say "Google bad".

Serebii.net on the other hand is "old web"— and man is it an unusable, unreadable, un-navigatable, overwhelming piece of crap. And I will take that opinion to the grave. Both Google and Serebii.net can be awful, fam.

American here. Honestly eager to hear what they have to say. It would be cool insight into things I don't even really think about! ^^

Okay, let me try this.

• Mother smoked and did drugs when pregnant with me
• Born with autism, mild cerebral palsy, medical issues
• Mom heavily neglected and abused me
• Lived in many foster, adoptive homes, boarding schools, went to many schools and extreme right-wing churches
• In all of them, was either physically, emotionally, or sexually abused
• Abandoned as adult
• Joined USAF, medical discharge out of tech school when they realized their mistake
• Lived in homeless shelters and then adult foster care
• My name online is usually some form of the word "orphan"

So what am I doing? Well, I'm poor and on disability and I've struggled to manage my emotions, and I've had to grow like anybody. But I'm an ex-Christian theist, empathetic liberal, and have never done any crime. I spent a lot of years in social programs and with social workers. I live in an apartment now with two best friends. I'm writing a science fantasy novel I hope to change the world with, sharing a lot of what I experienced and what I learned. I wrote a symphonic rock and power ballad soundtrack for it.

"The Solemn Dream" Blurb:

After a very unhappy childhood, “Solemn” dies at 25 and wakes up in the space-age afterlife of Heleia, where everyone’s home planet is chosen by the seraphs— demigod social workers and keepers of the peace— based on that person’s emotional and ethical maturity. Here, Solemn chooses to become a young child again, hoping to heal and to finally find a loving family.

Jessi Vargas is a forever-19 bully who lives on Nemesis, the planet for those who don’t care that they’re harmful. Sick of being surrounded by terrible people, she prepares to leave the planet— even though she may not be worthy.

Lu Montsely is a kind and patient humanitarian who hides a terrible past. After a century of effort, she is almost ready to ascend to the utopian world of Themis to join her loving husband. Lu mentors Solemn and Jessi as her final test, and— along with their wise and humorous helper android Iota— they form a small family on Eleos.

But many do not believe that criminals deserve second chances. When the seraphs discover mass-produced weapons, they need the aid of Solemn’s new family to investigate. Solemn soon finds themselves the recipient of powerful abilities that give them a unique role in the growing conflict. And before long, Solemn and family are not only fighting to become happier, kinder, and greater— but also for the fate of the entire Helian afterlife.

...I don't think that having lived through shit means you need to be a shit person. Sure, some misfortunate people are going to have personalities that push them towards being shit people, but... those people were likely going to be shit people anyway, unless people guided them a little more carefully.

We do that because our country is founded on the "right" for moneymakers to put as much onto the customer as they can get away with. Hence things like tipping culture.

This is hilarious in just the wrong way.
