If we had shitty rewards, I'd give you a Lemmy Latinum.

Administrator of environmental protection agency announces agency no longer protecting environment, will now be simply referred to as the environmental agency.

I test drove one because I had to know. It was awful. I've driven dozens of different vehicles and it by far is the worst I've ever driven. It's just stupid. Everything about it is stupid.

It also felt satisfying to cost Tesla like $10 in electricity and wear and tear.

Hi! I'm SoleInvictus (he/him), also one of the new mods. I'm ND and genderfluid, but tend to lean toward "male" more. It's like a 60/40 mix, though that can change. I also have a disability, a relatively common "rare" disease, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Ask me about my joint mobility!

I'm currently living in the freshest of dumpster fires, the United States, and am looking to GTFO, so hopefully that'll change soonish. My hobbies include hanging with my dog and cat children (two and four of each, respectively), cooking and baking, endless physical therapy (EDS4LYFE yo), some gaming, reading, and naps (goddammit, EDS again!).

I've worked as a microbiologist in research and public health but have done some time in private industry in related fields. If anyone ever needs help making sense of research papers, feel free to hit me up.

I have modding experience (and the accompanying PTSD) from Reddit, but this comm has been a breath of fresh air. Truly, I love you all SO much.

I'm pretty open about anything, so feel free to ask any questions!

Holy shit, you're right. I've been wondering if/when we'd get a Hindenburg equivalent, but you nailed it. We already have one.

They have no qualms about lying to further their agenda. Many of the people leading these movements aren't unintelligent, but rather immoral.

From the article:

That's spurred criticism from the right that — even if the meme is tongue-in-cheek — Democrats are spreading baseless lies about one of their political opponents.

Because the Republicans would never stoop to such a low!

From many years ago, in a previous career.

Job: IT

Issue: hardware of some kind is broken

Customer, incredulous: "...but it wasn't broken yesterday!"

Yeah, no shit. That's how things break. They're fine, then become broken. Why is this even being discussed?

Hey, the Boy Scouts are getting better, no need to kill them!

Can confirm. We have four cats and one likes me the most. My wife has dubbed her my "cat wife".

Most of the time, she'll at least meow at me if I call her name. If I call her after around 7 pm while in the bedroom, she'll haul ass into the room, jump on the bed, and immediately move to her spot, gracelessly flop over, and start purring. That's our bedtime routine, which she learned independently.

Lemmy.world really can be maddening sometimes. It seems like any vaguely political post develops some intense strawman "tankie" action. I've pointed it out a few times and it doesn't go well.

I was poly for years and my ex and I designated each other as primary just to help ensure our priorities matched. We'd seen couples that just "free loved" it and it frequently led to a lot of drama and hurt feelings.

One person "demoted" her fiance to just a side relationship because she was encouraging her boyfriends to be competitive. It was gross. The idea of making love or sexuality a competition is just gross. These people are gross.
