Hoodie, tracksuit pants, woolly socks. Time at home is time not wearing a belt.

Hell if I know. That was 30+ years ago.

I bet Jörmungandr the world-serpent, who gnaws at the roots of Yggdrasil-tree, destined to kill and be killed by Thor, tastes like chicken.

I don't know what soap opera it was, because it was playing on the TV at my barber's shop while I was in the chair. A woman started shooting at some people who had disappointed her. Just livin' the dream.

This is gonna be controversial.

When I find out someone is a Christian, I ask them about their favourite part of the sermon on the mount. If they don't know it, they're 'cultural Christians' who've never opened a bible. If they're familiar with the sermon, it means they do the work. The sermon on the mount is the section of the bible where Jesus explained to people what values they should hold and how they should behave in order to call themselves his followers.

I'm an ex-Christian and so are a lot of people who just don't know it yet.

Clicking on a URL in a non-browser app? Surely you want to see that in Edge and not your default browser.

A golden apple enscribed with "kallisti".

I've been finding it useful for altering recipes to take my wife's allergies into account. I don't use it for much else. And certainly not for anything important.

Pretty great. I have money and free time.

It costs about $10,000 US to get a kilo of payload as far as Low Earth Orbit. I'm not sure this is going to scale up.

Some people here take themselves way too seriously. Not every conversation needs to be an argument.

Because we have a flag because everyone benefits from the effort to learn about and educate about ancient cultures. We presume that even those cultures benefit, because the memory of them is preserved instead of being forgotten.

Digging up artefacts for private collections, though - that's just grave robbery with a shine on it.

The part I repeat to myself most often is "blessed are the peace-makers". Because there are so many situations where I shouldn't say what I'm thinking. :)

YOU DON'T SAY.

What's my prize if I answer correctly?

Okay, now explain to me which is the best Star Trek captain and why anyone who disagrees needs to die by cheesegrater in a three-day ordeal.

🙂

I've been confused about it in the past, but I eventually settled on mould if it grows and mold if it's taking shape. I'm willing to let the rest of the internet be wrong about it, though.

Irony?

Essential oils. Homeopathy. Chiropractic. Reiki. Juice cleanses. Perineum sunning. Internet accelerator software. Iridology. Faith healing. Organic food. Oil pulling. Gold plated digital audio cables.

American corporations: "how can we monetize this".

It's not just you, but it's not just Lemmy either. Anywhere I go, I need to prune subs or else my feed becomes more and more pessimistic.

I think as a species we have a mental bias that focuses on what needs changing and not what's okay as it is.

Nice suit he's wearing there.

I believe according to his own rules you can stone him to death for mixing two different fibres.

"Do you mind if I wash these? I'm allergic to pesticides, even in trace amounts."

The Great Green Wall initiative. They're teaching farming methods that restore water tables and greening arid areas across middle Africa, stopping the advance of the Sahara desert. They supply the expertise and the materials, and locals do the work. In the process they're also reversing the exodus of young people to the cities, because increased/improved agriculture provides jobs for them in their home villages.

Entire world, how do you feel about being stored in a database by US government agencies like the NSA?

Feels bad, man.

When no-one was looking, Elon Musk lost forty billion. He lost 40 billion. That's as many as four tens billions. And that's terrible.

You're looking for opinions? I got opinions.

• The Chosen One who gets dragged around like a sack of potatoes until they Come Into Their Own and go on to Turn The Tide.

• The Wise Yet Enigmatic Sage.

• The Sharp-Tongued Princess.

• The Rogue With A Heart of Gold.

• Plots based on misunderstanding ancient prophecies that are so vaguely written they could be cookie recipes.

• Gods that slot into neat roles on a godly table of elements.

• Magic systems so detailed and prosaic you may as well call them technology.

• Elves that are exactly like every other elf character you've ever read about except for one glaring but superficial difference which is there to make you think the author's not plagiarising their own favourite author.

"The right to discuss is a privilege" - someone is very confused about the difference between rights and privileges and also wrong.

They're easily recognised by their bulging eyes, flicking tongues and leathery scales.

Wait, that's monitor lizards. I've confused autistic people with monitor lizards again.

"The last man to enter parliament with honest intentions".

Fight me.

Okay, but I'm bringing my power washer.

OP, please don't take medical advice from strangers on the internet. The most confident voice here could be a 12-year old who heard about the medication you're taking on House MD reruns.

Your country may have a state-organised information line to give you advice about medication. You could call and get an authoritative answer to your question. Or you could ask the staff at any retail chemist. They'll know, or be able to look it up.

This is very cool apart from the body fluids in your prize thing, because that's fucking stupid.

Following the ancient traditions, I'm here to tell you that you picked the wrong distro. 😉

But welcome aboard.

I think it's because people would rather believe the world is secretly controlled by some truly awful people than acknowledge no-one's steering the bus.

You mean like the Great Attractor?

Once the socks come off, they go through the laundry before I put them on again. They're just not comfortable unless they're fresh.

Donald Trump... the sovereign citizen of world leaders.

On the one hand I'm sceptical that a company couldn't tell customers ahead of time what fees they might be paying.

On the other hand, I once worked for an ISP that deleted its customer database and all backups to save itself data warehousing fees and literally had no idea how much customers were paying or what services it was providing them. So it does happen.

On the other other hand (yes, I have three), incompetence shouldn't shield you from the consequences of failing your responsibilities.

I'm also not a programmer but here's why Linux is my daily driver:

I like it.
