Yep! One house in our neighborhood always has their grill going in the driveway, giving out hotdogs, another has cider and mini bottles. Firepits and lounge chairs, it’s so nice.

When they’re burning drop off boxes in THREE different states, I want to see it counted.

Single issue voting 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Yes… I’m not sure if you were unaware or just restating the joke?

I think the cashier was under the assumption that you wanted the discount, and asked at the end instead of immediately after you said you weren’t already a member. It doesn’t feel rude or invasive, from my perspective, maybe just phrased as an underpaid employee.

What I do recommend is a VOIP phone number and attached separate email for all marketing purposes. They can track and sell that as much as they’d like without impacting your personal details or necessary accounts.

neat, thanks!

If you were on Li’s website, https://www.exocomics.com/, enjoying her content, would you still consider it an unsolicitied ad? Or only when it’s downloaded from there and posted to Lemmy instead?

Absolutely! It’s called the Pollyanna Principle. In fact, there’s a counterpart to all of these biases that are immensely helpful in certain types of therapy.

Authors should keep their work a secret, especially comic book artists in [email protected] 😤

Being condescending actually doesn’t help a conversation.

The corporate office I work at panicked because they were going to get reclassified as a “remote hub” for tax purposes, which would have reduced everyone’s pay. But I’d personally prefer to take the cut instead…

I’ll pitch in.

Only because you don’t like the color, or maybe the texture of dirt? We wash off dirt because it’s dirty, and dirty things aren’t good for us (because of bacteria…).

Sure, but I’m assuming the “mom” in OP’s story was just trying to help their child get enough sleep.

Out… of the 20s… legitimately seems unfathomable.

You need enough sleep.

This is about Stein and age in general, but let me say that, for example, I don’t fault Trump for being an absolute garbage person, statistically there will always be garbage people. It’s his supporters I take issue with. Nobody should be voting in incompetent or dangerous candidates, and if they are in a position of power, the average person is to blame.

Pretending these elderly politicians weren’t elected in…

Seems more akin to letting them milk themselves and collecting it from the fridge.

People can look however they would like, whether that’s plastic or dust bowl struggle chic. What’s wrong here is that an unrelated party has decided to change someone’s appearance based on their own preferences.
