I get you’re trying to do, but it’s almost disrespectful to say royalty is made up. Whether their grounds for ruling is still or not. Monarchies have had very, very lasting impacts on the world around us, almost never for the better. Going “Oh hahaha, look at them and their silliness” when many monarchs actively ruined countries, feels a little dismissive.

I usually just blame how autistic Lemmy is. Unironically, the amount of neurodivergent people here is huge and a common trait is focusing on the wrong fuckin details, especially with hypotheticals

Best I can do is tree-fiddy

I am, I’m still voting for the candidate I think I can help move on the issue instead of just letting the guy who will send the military against protestors win.

What should be and what is are almost never the same thing. We should keep pushing for what should be while facing the hard truths of what the reality actually is.

It’s not really “dirty” in the same sense but I’m a massage therapist. Don’t think it gets more literally hands-on as far as a job goes lol. I primarily do deep tissue work, I REALLY enjoy injury-focused work, so it can be a bit tiring but it’s generally pretty satisfying.

I’m from Arizona, I know this. I’m saying the mestizos who wouldn’t get pissed at being referred to as such are far less in number than you think. Most ID far more with the colonizers than the colonized

Same with a burger. Your lettuce should be dry (pat it with a paper towel if you must) and put it as the bottom layer. This creates a moisture barrier that stops your bread/bun from turning into a soggy mess.

On a sandwich, the cheese should be on the other side for the same reason. Keep all the wet stuff from turning your bread into slop.

Thank you for the correction! I always seem to misremember which Caliphate was when.

Mexicans are native? The descendants of Spanish colonizers?

Iirc it was the Abbasid Rashidun Caliphate that was the first Muslims to take over Egypt. The 1000 years prior or so, it’d been Roman territory (Byzantine after the fall of Western Rome, but same difference).

Edit: My memory was shakey and I appreciate the correction.

One of the things I liked in the recent season of Mushoku Tensei. They’re casting fire spells in a labyrinth and they warn the MC that they’ll suffocate if they use too many.

Arizona, figure the context being the US would at least make that an easy search but guess not.

Then sometimes you’re like me, living in AZ, not even on a VPN, being told “You Texans should be asking for ID” and just wondering how the fuck that’s happening

Most modern phones also already do that and show 100% when they’re at ~80% because they want to optimize battery life.

A more accurate description of the situation is that a broken clock is right twice a day as he validly complains about racists sending hate to his employees.

“Further, many phones are now programmed to shut off power once the battery is full, even if it remains plugged in.”

Quoting the article they linked for you. Since you seem to have either missed this important bit or are being pedantic. Unless your phone is 10 years old, it won’t.

My cashmere sweater from Nadaam. I have several and they’re comfy, stylish, and super warm. Their OG sweater (of which I own 3) are under $100, but the one I’m talking about is a recycled cashmere (made from leftovers of other products) which is thick and soft and fuckin amazing

Carhartt makes really good wool socks if you want recommendations

There are electors for every senate seat. This gives disproportionate power to the small pop. states (which go R most of the time) so Dems are basically always working with a ~30 vote deficit in the electoral college.

The senate is an undemocratic institution meant to protect the wealth. Abolish the senate.
