For a while I tried coming up with something insightful to say, but after I spoke people would just pause with a blank stare and then say: “ok, moving on…”

If you have male genitalia, at least wear a kynodesmē (NSFW educational link) to stop your junk from flapping.

Well, it IS the land “down under”…

Chad, slugs are just snails without houses. Real American slugs build barns for each other and then they’re free snails. European slugs get government housing and then the French eat them. Think about that for a while.

Fails to consider the case in which the 2-year-old sister is now male.

FWIW Pixelfed’s been growing like crazy the last couple days

Punk is probably easier / lower-cost.

• find the oldest t-shirt you own. turn it inside-out. A) if you do NOT want to keep the shirt, spraypaint or marker an “anarchy” symbol on it and tear the sleeves off. B) if you DO want to keep the shirt (or if the shirt is black), make the symbol using masking tape.
• the denim jacket approach sounds promising. print out a bunch of punk band logos/names on card and safety-pin them to the jacket. If you can get your hands on a flag of some sort, pin that to the back. If you can’t, just get a plain cloth, scrawl with a marker some punk-related slogan (in my days it’d be “out of step” or “too drunk to fuck” or “no future” or something - edit: if you want to make it obvious you’re a punk, write “punk’s not dead”) on it and safety-pin it to the back. get some lightweight chains (cheap at hardware store if you don’t have) and safety-pin them to the jacket.
• if you have any really old jeans, those would work great, just safety-pin a couple chains. if you don’t want to tear/cut them, use some black masking tape to make a couple random lines on them. If you have black boots that would work OK.
• spike your hair… look for temporary dye… maybe do a mohawk… I’m not familiar with that stuff but you can probably find tutorials online

That’ll get you 90% of the way to a costume version of a stereotypical punk. FWIW back in the day if you went to a punk show most of the people there would just dress like regular people (jeans and a t-shirt).

go for it, fam! Yeah, I think it’s a lot more fun to be posting when someone else is already posting there. (instead of just posting by yourself.)

when we’re working, he does say shit like this to women passing on the street and the reaction is not at all unlike the one in the comic

That works until the one time that it doesn’t, and then HR sets up a meeting and you never see him again.

I agree with your point about making it harder to find good memes. Technically the original definition of “meme” from Dawkins would encompass this post, but it is more suited to [email protected] or wherever they found this. Wait, let me say it this way

The big three are:

• memes
• politics/news
• tech

There are a couple dozen people who keep a smaller community alive (like PugJesus on history, anon6789 on owls, JohnnyEnzyme on euro graphic novels, LaurenceWolse on b movies, Nexius Lobster on traditional art, etc); occasionally someone takes over a community and starts posting regularly, and occasionally someone burns out and the community dies.

yeah, lemmy.world is a good starter server. To find your next one:

• look here to see the relative server sizes (sort by “MAU” = Monthly Active Users): https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy
• look here to see who is defederated from each other: https://defed.xyz/

It’s currently happening with [email protected] which is splitting off from [email protected].

A couple months ago a few communities moved off of lemmy.ml.

The trekkies did something along these lines a while back but I don’t follow that…

No, I don’t think I did.

January 1st 00:01 am to 00:31 am.

In the end I wished I had just drained the tank and put fresh gas in before anything else.

Thanks for the info… I don’t think I can drain the tank myself, so… is that the sort of thing they can do on site, or would it need to be towed somewhere?

Wait, so what happens if you try to run a car that’s been sitting there for more than half a year? Does the gas just not work? Or does it explode or something?

• I would text my housemate my location and where I planned to shelter.
• if i was at home I would go to the lowest floor in the middle of the house away from the windows. in my current place, I think I’d be in the ground-floor bathroom, so I’d also fill any available containers with tap water while I still could
• I’d follow the news online as long as I could, switching to my radio if/when necessary

Remember that sailor you won that hand of poker against? The one who stalked away mad? Well he has a brother in the missile command…
