Oh, interesting! I haven’t heard “auctioning” on its own.

Oh wow!

Yeah, putting up for auction is more general and common. I guess I don’t “auction off” enough things to know what most people say.

I’ve heard “auction away” enough – maybe that’s what the nom-professionals say? Lol

Since your main question was answered, but not your other question, it’s generally “auctioning away”

EDIT: The best way to get a right answer on the internet is not to post a question, but to post the wrong answer!

This wasn’t intentional, lol

Shouldn’t they make stronger escalators, then?

we had an optimistic childhood, were made painfully aware of global geopolitics just as we were becoming adolescents, and got economically punched in the gut just in time to start adulting for real.

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

On Lemmy? Never.

In instant messages etc, usually to convey things like tone that can’t easily come through over text alone. They can also help soften things.

Or as reactions to messages to express something when you don’t have much else to say. Or when it’d take time to write your response.

On the contrary, I’d say the elevator thing is only comfortable because it’s a social norm. Unless it’s a subconscious “face the door so you can see if any attackers enter” thing.

The escalator thing is less universal because it’s something that helps other people, and not ourselves. This isn’t valued as much in individualistic societies like the ones in most of North America.

“What are ya’, blind?!”

I think Americans tend to be more sensitive about this, but Canadians (at least in the Toronto area) tend to me more open to this.

I guess it’s different when you’re the only minority in town, compared to other scenarios where most people are white.

Fascinating! Thanks for educating me!

The elevator one seems pretty universal, but “ope” is regional.

These kinds of social norms aren’t universal.

One that I wish were more universal would be standing on the right when using an escalator, and leaving the left side for walking.

What is Calum’s List about? Google’s AI suggested it’s a list and site maintained to commemorate people who died due to welfare cuts?

I tried reading the sites you linked, but they seem to be blogs that don’t give a good overview

EDIT: Ah, the website confirms it. I didn’t see it at first due to its garish design choices. Seems like they say it’s 60 people though

What about (the thankfully deceased) Ian Watkins?

Thank you!

Where would apparently be pulled out from?

I found the Signature “At the grave of Grandma…” In the file.

I tried to find more about this, but it’s half “viral grandma meme” and half “help my grandma’s phone is full of viruses”, lmao

What was this virus?

Unless you’re the last human alive (and don’t car about animals), this shouldn’t happen.

Even as you get older, you should care about other people. Arguably, you should care about people you don’t even know too!

I mean they can, there are many male OF models and some don’t even work out, you only need to find your place in the market (usually with a kink)

For sure! I didn’t mean “they can’t make money” as in “men can’t make any money”. That’d be absurd.

I meant that “those angry individuals can’t make money from it”. And maybe they could if they tried, but they’re not trying, so they can’t.

The deaths can be directly observed and also allow for post-mortem examination.

Have you done this?
