Schadenfreude isn’t quite “uplifting”

I often make something similar with two eggs scrambled with diced turkey kielbasa and shredded cheddar. Protein-dense and freezes great for quick morning nuke-and-run.

The Easter morning social-media tantrum was 100% a performance for his base. I guarantee everyone in Iran government who saw it, promptly muttered “what an utter dipshit” and didn’t change their plans one iota.

They’re using bots to try to flag bots, and the whole shell game is going to devolve into false positives driving away the humans while bots play the sideboard games to look human.

oil is a shit commodity. fossil fuel oligarchs have stifled alternatives to keep reaping subsidies, and this global fuel panic is just the shit pigeon come home to roost and shitting on billions of innocent bystanders the whole way.

I get random “hey” texts every few weeks or so. I always assume it’s a would-be scammer testing numbers en masse to see who will respond. It wouldn’t occur to me to assume I gave out my number while blackout drunk. I mean, I used to drink pretty hard, but at some point I had to face the fact that it wasn’t drowning my sorrows, only adding to them. But that’s a different topic, not what you’re asking for help with.

So anyway, if my partner gave me a hard time about a random “hey” text? I’d push back, because realistically it’s just as likely a spam text, not evidence of intention to cheat.

Bringing it up “during intimacy” … maybe it’s a fantasy turn-on for him, or maybe it’s a creepy way of trying to undermine your confidence and keep you working overtime to try to regain his approval. You’ll have to ask him point blank if it excites him to think of you with other men. If he says no, then he needs to drop the subject forever.

As always, “Trump says” is garbage headlining. Means about as much as “Third-grader blames family dog for misssing homework”.

it’s all relative to a mutually agreed reference point. Within our solar system you might relate an object’s position as “sunward” or “outward”, and motion tangent to the rotation of the planets as “spinward” or “trailward”. In galactic space, the same directions apply, but substitute “coreward” for “sunward”.

if he says the sky is blue, it’s probably dark out. Everybody knows he lies twice every time he opens his mouth once.

Reddit has been a dumpster fire of heavy-handed bans, and refusal of mod transparency or appeal, for a while now. It started when they closed off the API against third-party mod tools. It won’t get better anytime soon. Glad you’re here in the Lemmyverse instead.

the first rule of corruption club is don’t talk about corruption club

… banned from making kimchi

that sounds like a story that needs to be told!

I don’t know effective change.org petitions are beyond raising awareness, but there’s a petition to fire the brownshirt wannabe police chief.

You need to internalize the idea that it’s not fair of anyone to expect yoi to do more than be a compassionate listener. Be firm about not taking on an intermediary/messenger role.

Try saying things like “You seem to be hesitant about speaking your mind to Mom, what do you think will happen if you tell her what you need?” “What’s your plan to solve this if you don’t feel like you can express your feelings to her?”

Healthy venting is solution-oriented. You’re under no obligation to entertain endless circular whining and fake helplessness from adults.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Most people but by no means all people step through stages of confirming mutual social attraction, then romantic attraction, and finally sexual attraction.

So start out with hanging out as friends, and if mutual chemistry or “sparks” don’t manifest then you just have a friend, and can look elsewhere for romance and sexual attraction.

It will help you a lot to figure out whether you’re demisexual and what your needs and expectations are as far as exclusivity.

If this poster-child family of “Caucasians” had it bad, I can only imagine how the Dilley concentration camp goons are torturing their kidnap victims who don’t flag the vision of racial purity.

Unfortunately chatbots cannot currently be trusted to supply appropriate responses to medical questions and any ideas coming from cronies of the sex predator grifter fash regime should be dismissed as yet more grifter woo until proven otherwise

“Texas fash bootlicker faces no charges for disposing of woke foreigner who happened to be his daughter”

no actual pro-Palestine content

Not what I said, and twisting nuanced issues into black-and-white absolutes is a classic bad-faith propaganda tactic.

Bsky gets a constant stream of bot-created scam accounts posing as Gazans soliciting donations for food, medicine, shelter etc. Sometimes as many as a dozen created within seconds, all pointing to the same donation-platform URL, with only minimal variations of usernames or post content, sometimes with donation URL obscured using short-link services.

Just like with email spam, scammers and filters are locked in an endless adaptation race. It is almost inevitable that some genuine accounts will trigger false positives when demographics or keywords overlap the flood of scam/spam content.

The situation is also very vulnerable to manipulation by the forces perpetrating Palestinian genocide. Israel’s cyberwarfare goons certainly have the means to manipulate, poison and jam Bsky’s Palestine-adjacent topic space, effectively co-opting and weaponizing Bsky’s own filters against genuine critics of the Palestinian genocide.

P.S. fuck Xitter too lol
