Are you posting this question in order to get people to say chav so you have an excuse to spread the word about “chav” being inappropriate?

Douches?

Yes - anyone could be

A character in a short story about superheroes I wrote in high school

And that’s why Jamie Foxx is cooler than Will Smith

Traditionally both parties had to agree to get divorced if there had not been some “grounds” for the divorce that could be proved in court. That’s why the classic business for old timey private detectives was proving that their client’s spouse was committing adultery in order to legally justify a divorce.

Yeah I actually came across this statistic in this article about those guys wanting to make divorce much harder, which linked to the study: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/05/no-fault-divorce-gop-republicans-mainstream-podcast-dudes/

Probably just a minor processing error in your sound driver and nothing to worry about. I think I have had a similar experience with a particular white noise machine with hearing some slightly patterned sound when there wasn’t really a pattern. If it’s bothering you or increasing can’t hurt to go see a doctor (well can’t hurt too bad as long as you’re insured…) and get their input.

I don’t think they should have barred Machado from running, but I also don’t think the US should sanction them over it. American meddling never improves this sort of situation, especially when in the form of hurting a country’s economy.

Kbin is still a thing? Or I guess not…

Just wait until you’re old and there’s a new wave of kids for whom the sequels are a core part of the franchise. It’s been freaky to watch it happen with the prequels.

“When corrected” is doing a lot of work there

Oh no they’ll contaminate some glass and plastic that have been thrown away!

We’re in one of the best times to be alive in history and the world is still getting better in many ways, I just try to feel grateful for that when I see something that’s bad or getting worse.

Yeah just go ahead and put them in the metal / glass / plastic recycling, they will figure it out on that end with all the others that get thrown in there.

I think the big thing is not having any requirements to join, you just make an account and you’re in. I started out trying to join a different instance and the second I saw a list of questions to answer I noped out and came here.

That doesn’t make any sense. If I’m instantly transported 2 feet to my left I’m still going to be in the same room, not in outer space. Maybe you’re thinking of this issue with time travel?

Meaning you’re on a space station right now?

I was on Mastodon starting soon after Musk bought twitter, and bluesky few the last few months. Mastodon is a lot more similar to lemmy in terms of being part of the fediverse, while bluesky sort of claims to be going for a federated thing of its own but so far is pretty much just a centralized server like twitter so far. Perhaps because of that, I find bluesky a lot more engaging and more similar to pre-Musk twitter. A lot of the choices the Mastodon creators implemented were deliberately reducing virality and “one big chatroom” feel that I at least liked about twitter. I wasn’t looking for those changes, just a microblogging social network not owned by fascists.

So basically if you want something like lemmy go with Mastodon, if you want something old twitter go with bluesky.

I like it, seems like a good way to get to critical mass on the small subs here. Can’t really offer any help, but good luck and thanks!
