Ding ding ding! This is the right answer folks. US citizens will be lucky to get fair elections (if at all) for the foreseeable future. There is no counterweight to what lies ahead, the doors to hell have been opened and no one is coming to save you. If you are in the US, you have the following choices: leave, survive (read: assimilate or hide), or fight.
Yeah I understand what the poster is getting at, I just wish they'd use something other than a snake which is already a much maligned animal. Bedbugs on the other hand....
Lemon and milk would be the easiest for me. I'm sure I've had those together before, at least in some dessert.
Hobo salad: Canned kidney beans, canned sweetcorn, canned tuna, salad dressing. If I'm feeling fancy/not lazy I'll add some chopped shallots or scallions.
If anyone is wondering, that's a red-backed fairywren. Here's some other great fairywrens (literally, it's in their names):
Fuck the polls, go vote.
If you haven't already, have you considered installing a few small ramps around the pool for animals to climb out when they fall in? You can find some simple cheap-ish ones on amazon like this one: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hGTaHIS3L._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_DpWeblab_.jpg
Pretty sure some of these other religions have a problem with scantily clad women, gay people and drag queens. That you think this was "only against christians" is pretty telling.
I recommend anyone living in the US in the lower end of this chart to carry your papers or at least a copy on you at all times from now on.
They know they are going to lose.
Never assume, fucking vote if you can people.
I'm sorry, it mega sucks and unfortunately you can only pick from the other two remaining options. If you're not part of the targeted minorities or vocally a part of the opposition, here are some tips on assimilation:
Essentially, start studying what other people did to survive under similarly oppressive regimes. The change won't happen overnight, but if this is going the way I think it's going, your access to options will become increasingly limited so do what you can now to get ready.
Alternatively, wait until it becomes clear that you're a political target, travel somewhere where you can get refugee status and claim asylum once you're there. You don't want to leave this until it's too late, and it'll get increasingly harder to do, but there's no way to tell yet what the trigger could be.
I'd add a couple of things to that list:
I don't buy the argument that he has dirt on them anymore. They believe in this shit, they don't need convincing.
I use it like an intern/other team member since the non-profit I work for doesn't have any money to hire more people. Things like:
Taking transcripts of meetings and turning them into neat and ordered meeting minutes/summaries, or pulling out any key actions/next steps
Putting together objectives and agendas for meetings based on some loose info and ideas I give it
Summarise the key points from articles/long documents I don't have tome or patience to read through fully.
Making my emails sound more professional/nicer/make up for my brainfarts
Giving me ideas on how to format/word slides and documents depending on what tone I want to employ - is it meant for leadership? Other team members?
Make my writing more organised/better structured/more professional sounding
Writing emails in foreign languages with a professional tone. Caveat is I'm fluent enough in those languages to know if the output sounds right. Before AI I would rely on google translate (meh), dictionaries, language forums, etc and it would take me HOURS to write a simple email using the correct terminology. Also helpful to check grammar and sentence structure in ways that aren't always picked up by Word.
I sound more like a robot than an actual robot, so I ask the robot to reword my emails/messages to sound more "human" when the need arises (like a colleague is leaving, had a baby, etc).
Bouncing off ideas. This doesn't always work and I know it doesn't actually have an opinion, but it helps get the ball rolling, especially if I'm struggling with procrastination.
If my sentences are too long for a document, I ask it to shorten/reword and it's pretty capable of doing that without losing too much of the essence of what I want to get across
Of course I don't just take whatever it spits out and paste it. I read through everything, make sure it still sounds more or less like "me". Sometimes it'll take a couple of prompts to get it to go where I want it, and takes a bit of review and editing but it saves me literal hours. It's not necessarily perfect, but it does the job. I get it's not a panacea, and it's not great for the environment, but this tech is literally saving my sanity right now.
Doesn't matter, people who can should go vote.
Not a Nokia and I can't find that exact model but it seems there were a couple of weird round phones floating around in the early to mid 2000's:

https://www.mobilephonemuseum.com/phone-detail/xelibri-6
https://www.mobilephonemuseum.com/phone-detail/panasonic-g70
There were some other weird as hell designs around that period, like the ones in this article:
https://medium.com/@samworldpeace/nokia-made-some-of-the-weirdest-phones-ever-a7e3412fa0c0
I recognise all but one of the phones in that link. The time just before smartphones was a weird moment in mobile phone history.
As I said lower down, you can take ibuprofen and acetaminophen (paracetamol) together . It's advised you wait an hour after you take one type before you take the other to see if the first medication works well enough. There are even medications sold as a combination of both. What detrimental "synergistic effects" are you talking about?
As someone in the middle of getting laser hair removal, I say go for it if you can and find a good place to have it done. I'm very happy with results even after just a few sessions.
Here's how I think this will pan out:
Step 1: Mass deportation
Step 2: Mass incarceration
Step 3: Work camps
After all, the US legal framework allows prisoners to be used as slaves, does it not? And the beauty of a fascist system is that enemies are so very, very easy to find.
Yeah Combogesic is an example of combined ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Advil also makes a combo of the two as well. The main issue to keep track of what you're taking and take care that you don't exceed the daily dose for each. That's something to watch out for whether you take them separately or in combination with one another.
A lot of people on Lemmy work in tech so responses are going to lean heavily in that direction. I'm not in tech and if you check my answer to this you'll have a number of examples. I also know a few people who wanted to learn a new language and asked ChatGPT for a day by day programme and some free sources and they were pretty happy with the results they got. I imagine you can do that with other subjects. Other people I know have used it to make images for things like club banners or newsletters.
Oh yes, but that needs to be first on the list for sure.
Edit: on second thought, make it last on the list. It tells more of a story.
Ah, so that explains why I'm dead inside.
Should...should we tell Squizzy?
Hmm when you say flying in formation do you mean in like a cloud or a specific shape? If so could be starlings as they have a very varied repertoire of songs and can mimic other birds (which might explain why Merlin can't identify them)
When you say 'jagged wings' do you mean you can see the individual feather tips (like fingers)? Could be fish crows? The juvenile sound could be a little seagull-y?
Grackles are usually fully black apart from having lighter eyes. Some species flock together, and like starlings they also minic other birds.
Edit: one thing to note is Merlin doesn't always work well if you've turned GPS off on the phone. That might also interfere with identification
If you're short on time I recommend Great Art Explained in 15 Minutes. May not be exactly what you're looking for but the creator puts in a lot of work and you get to learn some really interesting things about art pieces and the artists who made them.
Where have you been told this? Are you perhaps confusing acetaminophen for something else? Doctors will tell you that you can take ibuprofen and acetaminophen (paracetamol) together . It's advised you wait an hour after you take one type before you take the other to see if the first medication works well enough. There are even medications sold as a combination of both. What you shouldn't take ibuprofen along with other Non-steroidal anti-i inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin.
This is impossible to guarantee or control for. Birds migrate, you never know who might make a pitstop at your feeder. I've spotted birds that were so far off their normal range it created a buzz in the local birding community. There's a non-zero chance something endangered or at least very rare could stop by your feeder.
If you're worried about making sure your cat gets enough stimulation there are a lot of articles and tips on things you can do that require little effort on your part (like, even a cardboard box full of crumpled paper can do the job).
Hey man, you do what you have to do. Good luck either way!
Fuck this noise, go vote.
Fair, but on the off chance it does help, you might as well take that precaution.
Where are you based approximately? Europe/Asia/US/etc? Is the bird fully black? Same size as a crow? Any distinguishing information might help!
To each their own ¯\(ツ)/¯
Would this work for microdontia? I have two front teeth that failed to grow to the proper size and one of them has a very small root, meaning a crown is not an option and I don't want to get implants.
France banned soda refills a few years ago to combat obesity. Honestly that makes sense to me.
Once again, that is not what whataboutism is, the crux of the argument hasn't changed. You claim to be just as offended by other parodies of the last supper. Yet when presented with evidence of others parodying that specific image, even high profile examples, you've shown no indication that this has offended you just as much as it does when drag queens are featured. I even gave you multiple chances to pick any christian religious image you want and still nothing comes up. Either parodies of Christian art offend you just as much or they don't, and if you single one out, the reason becomes very obvious.
I would be more surprised to see Donald Trump in heaven compared to one of those drag performers in all honesty
This just indicates that you'd still be surprised to see one of these drag queens in heaven, just not as surprised as you would seeing Donald Trump. And really? Donald Trump? A bar that low?
Hmmm flying in formation like that sounds more like waterfowl. Could it be cormorants? Are you by the shore or near a large body of water? They can be all black like crows and the begging sound of the double crested cormorant does sound kind of seagull-y?
If they're fish crows though, that's cool, they're rarer than the carrion crows we're more used to. In any case I'm glad if I could be of help and I hope you continue to enjoy listening to and watching birds!
I'm having this exact discussion with someone else in the comments. There are so many parodies of this painting but this is the one that causes outrage. I wonder why....
So, no other examples of you taking issue with parodies of christian art on Lemmy or elsewhere, correct? You've had plenty of time since I posted those links to tell each of the OPs how you feel about their depictions of the last supper. Why not go ahead and do that now?
You mean like... curtains?
