I will pet your cat on my own terms, it needs to learn to respect my boundaries.

I do like cats, I just don’t like when cats get up close to me and decide I need to see their butt holes, rub their bodies all over my arms and legs, and try to sit on me.

If a cat walks by and wants to accept some pets, I’m happy to pet them.

The duality of lemmy:

“I am SHOCKED someone would ILLEGALLY MODIFY something that ISN’T THEIRS!”

Vs

“lol firebomb time”

Legit, if you’d rather put in work to modify a street light and risk the consequences instead of putting up curtains, use old cardboard boxes cut in such a way that it drapes a long side over your house’s direction, but not long enough to impede light on sidewalks.

Less work, less cost, less chance of being arrested.

I do understand not wanting to have to use blackout curtains, as I like looking outside.

Personally I use a 100w led spotlight I made, and point it at the street light for a minute or so if I want it off. Works for a few minutes, at least.

Until you need to fight an army of mantis-people…

Oof. Same.

I figured “memory is cheap, I have time”

checks memory prices, weeps

My first memory of “86"was from the princess diaries when Mia asks” can we 86 the flags", referring to the country-of-origin flags on diplomats cars.

I’ve never understood how someone can twist “86 47” to mean to kill.

If you hear someone say “remove that man” and think “these people want me dead” the you’re clearly not of rational mind, and are paranoid.

You know, I think this comic might not be 100% accurate on naming conventions…

I wish my family would be this chill about it.

It’s gonna be an interesting day when they eventually figure it out.

Goddamn ableist bastard!

This comic brought to you by today’s sponsor: Kool-aid!

They aren’t, but they have the understanding of literal children. They can’t process the fact that a pirated game isn’t a lost sale, because to them every single person on the planet wants what they have to offer, and if they get it any way OTHER than buying it outright at full price, CLEARLY it must be theft and people are targeting them specifically because what they have is so great.

I pirated Minecraft back in the beta days, decided I loved it, and eventually bought it (before notch went full mask off and the sale of mojang) had it not been for TPB, mojang would have had one less sale.

Same for several others. Hilariously, the only time I ever recieved a c&d was for a game I loved and then canceled the online order for when I got the letter two days later. I wanted to buy it, but the letter made up my mind that I was never giving them money again. Fuck em. Dead rising went downhill after the first one anyway so I didn’t miss much.

Executives view life as a zero-sum game.

Money. It’s always money.

Right wing nuts tend to yell quite loudly, and convinced executives (also right wing nuts) that their bottom line will take a hit if they don’t comply.

And Bad will from who? Dirty poors who have no choice but to use one of three options? They don’t give a shit if the poors like them or not.

There’s a few shitposting communities

This hits different since I started working weekends… :(

To me it’s the fact they all look like children trying to feel like big boys in their dad’s too-large clothes (which is fitting (pun intended) since at least those medals are inherited, not for things they themselves have done)

You’ll get a better, more accurate answer by asking random internet nerds, AND you aren’t contributing to the speed run of environmental destruction.

Fuck modern “Ai”

It’s like hearing someone say “there were no strong female leads in movies before the Hunger Games”

When I wake up I’ll be putting on my prettiest hot-weather outfit and my spouse and I are celebrating our anniversary at a botanical garden.

I also will be starting my first scheduled shift at a new job on Sunday, and I’ll be finally working somewhere I can use MY name and pronouns and not worry about being fired.

I have moved back in with parents, who are struggling to pay their own bills. It’s mutually beneficial, but goddamn does it make transitioning hard. I doubt they would kick me out since they’d lose the house when they can’t pay bills, but in the meantime I would need to find somewhere to put up a tent and hope I can store my stuff somewhere cheap.

Since my spouse got fired over a medical issue, and their health has since spiraled, we have been eating through our savings. “Luckily” I just started a second job today.

Sure would be great if you could survive on a single income as a family like people used to be able to do. We’d have to make billionaires extinct first(and even then it’d be a long road getting from here to there) and unless society does a 180, that’s not happening.

He can’t stop shitting his own pants, so my guess is “no”
