I check Lemmy daily. If anyone wants/needs to shoot the shit, my inbox is open :)

This reminded me of two of my favourite historical dogs; Bummer and Lazarus.

It is a sad story, but immortalised well with even Mark Twain penning a eulogy.

Ah, I guess I can see that word play. Thanks for clarifying! It did come off pretty strong and I’d guess I’m not the only one who didn’t see that mental link. I was just wondering what I said that made you think so little of me.

I just saw this, so I’m not one of those ‘downvoters’ but I am curious. The only type of ‘dad’ joke this reads as is a crass and down putting dad. Most ‘dad jokes’ will rely on word play, so I looked up the etymology of dyslexia to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. Even back in the day they weren’t as cruel as ‘shit for brains’.

Could you please explain the joke for me. Since I apparently have shit for brains?

So, um. What’s going on here? Lots of deleted comments, plus an onion article posted to ‘nottheonion’?

Edit: ah, my dyslexic ass just realized what was going on. I guess it’s a gotcha?

I passed a station that was over $5.50 on my way to a $5/gallon pump (it was just a block away, thank goodness for 7/11). I imagine that average is going to go WAY up.

We destroy our land and will never reap the ‘benefits’.

‘02:09’ yeah, I’ve fallen down some fic rabbit holes at that time too. Part of what I call ‘the witching happy hour’

Maybe it’s a California thing, but growing up there was a lot of back and forth about how you could get put on the sex offender list for urinating in public. That wasn’t the case. So if someone said that’s the reason they were on the list, it was never the full story.

To be clear, I’ve never done this, it was just some weird cultural zeitgeist when I was growing up.

It’s also beyond ‘good Samaritan’ due to the whole ‘pulled her towards his car’ aspect. It also reads as someone trying to discipline someone outside of their care. Imagine you’re a teen trying to jaywalk and this random guy turns his vehicle around, grabs you, and tries to drag you towards it.

It definitely gives of ‘I’m only on the sex offender list because I pissed in public’ vibes.

Closest we get to snow is the ash from wildfires, womp womp. Nearby mountains get snow though, so that’s nice.

Construction isn’t a season where I’m at, it’s a constant. Our seasons are hot, wildfire, mudslide, and earthquake.

The alternate Google Play is so needed, thanks a ton for that recommendation in particular!

This is amazing! Thank you so, so much!

That’s what I’m doing now, and I appreciate the second on it

Thanks, that was what I was thinking. I’m looking forward to getting used to both the new OS and the hardware side of the second outside screen

Right now I’m using the stock Moto launcher.

Ah yeah, I do need the banking apps unfortunately. I used to love tinkering, and love this fresh start, but it is a learning curve as I get older. Do you have a preferred method of sideloading? Appreciate you responding BTW

I appreciate it! Especially the store recommendation, because wow trying to use the stock store is crazy for me right now. If you switched recently do you mind me asking how you migrated all the saved passwords and such?

Funnily enough we all met playing Destiny 1, then continued playing Destiny 2 till Final Shape. There really isn’t anything like it out there and it’s a crying shame Bungo had to be like this. They’re the ones who turned me onto Forza, so I’m lucky it all just clicked. I think it also helps that it’s a completely different genre

I’m actually really excited for the new Forza Horizon game, but not for the reason most people would be. My gamer group has been struggling to find a game that we can all play together again that we actually want to play. I’m the only PC gamer of the group, so it’s gotta be cross platform. So while I’ve had good fun playing previous Horizon games, I’m mostly looking forward to who I get to play it with.
