I would consider a cave to be “outdoors” unless maybe somethings been done to it to make it into a dwelling. Since there is no door it’s at least somewhat open to the elements, you would have to contend with various wildlife that may live there, the floor would be either dirt or bare rock, these are all things one would have to deal with while doing “outdoor activities”

From what I could find on Google an international bill of exchange is: “a written order that one person gives to another person to pay a certain amount of money to a third person. It’s like a check, but it can be used in different countries.”

Why someone would want to use this to just pay their bills is beyond me, and I don’t really care enough to investigate it further.

I assume it’s some sort of imaginary SovCit sorcery to try and get away with cheating someone out of money somewhere along the way

Because there are still places in the world where men think they’re entitled to basically own another human being simply by virtue of having been born with a penis?

Wow, look at those downvotes! I guess a lot of you guys think you’re entitled to a wife wether she wants it or not lol

You guys do realize that an “arranged marriage” is not a matchmaking service, you just get stuck with someone you may possibly literally hate for the rest of your life lol

If both parties have a choice in the matter then that’s not really an “arranged marriage” though is it? That’s just dating and getting married.

MrJameGumb,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

I have this view because the state I live in is still backwards enough that arranged marriages still happen here. I’ve known several people who ended up getting married this way and not a single one of them was happy about it.

Anyone who bases their entire identity around their political beliefs is pretty much always a disappointment no matter who they voted for

Apple crushes creativity and its reputation in new iPad ad (www.theregister.com)

The ad itself depicted a mechanical crusher destroying artifacts of human creativity. A trumpet, guitar, sculpture, piano, drawing board, paints, a metronome, several analog cameras, a turntable, and hi-fi equipment were among the much-loved items yielding to the machine’s unstoppable force.

Ignoring things like this is how we’ve ended up with an entire generation of people who Apple thinks are either too lazy or too stupid to create art or music on their own.

Note that I am not calling anyone lazy or stupid, I’m just stating Apple thinks this is a desirable outcome and is pushing forward with that plan

MrJameGumb,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

So the solution to that is to only make paint-by-numbers music that Apple will allow you to make with their pre approved apps? That sounds like a good way to end up with a lot of mediocre easily digestible music that all sounds the same…

I have been playing guitar for nearly 20 years. My family has never been rich, which meant I got the most affordable guitar available (which cost MUCH less than an iPad even accounting for inflation) when I started.

I knew absolutely nothing about how to play it and taught myself for the first year from stuff I found in magazines. When it became apparent that I wasn’t going to just abandon the thing in the closet my parents agreed to get me lessons for this costly sum of $25 a week.

Since then I have have scrimped and saved to get nicer instruments when I could afford them, and they mean a lot to me so I take care of them and play them often.

When making music becomes reduced to a game from WHICHEVER app store, it loses all meaning because there is zero invested in it. I’m sure there will be a few people who actually manage to make real music this way despite the limitations, but for most people it will just be a toy they lose interest in like Candy Crush or something.

If it were easy to play decent music then everyone in the world would have a top 10 hit

Ah, just going straight into troll mode now huh? That’s too bad, I was enjoying our conversation…

MrJameGumb,

I see the confusion here… You think playing music is something one does to get fame and money. What you’re describing is a content creator, in which case I can see why having an overpriced toy that makes songs for you would be appealing.

For the record I have, in fact, played for a number of audiences and even recorded several albums with various bands that I’ve been in over the years. I’m sure you wouldn’t have heard any of them because they never really made it beyond the local scene. I’m perfectly fine with that though, because I didn’t make them to be famous. I made them because I enjoy the creative process involved in songwriting and performance, because I’m a musician.

It turned out wonderful! I hope you will share some pictures when you have it all framed up! Do you know what kind of frame you’re going to get for it?

The actual article is pay walled so I couldn’t read any of it. Boycotts rarely work though unless you can convince everyone who shops there to join, and that will always be difficult with a giant retailer like this because at the end of a long day of work most people are willing to give up their values to not have to drive an hour out of their way to go to the shitty grocery store on the other side of town

MrJameGumb,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

Just to be clear, I’m not suggesting that anyone stop boycotting them, I’m just saying that’s probably the reason it hasn’t effected them that much

I need that time before my appointment to pace back and forth worrying that I might miss my appointment

I recommend the classic 1994 Smell-O-Vision episode of Married With Children

I don’t know anyone from Lemmy IRL. No one on here blows up my phone while I’m at work or trying to sleep. I’m not “following” anyone. I don’t hate myself and everyone else every time I log on here. I’d say it is NOT social media

They want to be able to make sure they’re stealing data from real people and also ensure that your real life offline can be destroyed at any time lol

What are ball vapes? Ball vapes quickly explained (lemm.ee)

So I’ve used portables for years and desktops a few times. The last couple years I’ve kept reading about ball vapes and they sounded cool but honestly I got intimidated and stopped looking into it. There are so many options and components and you have to worry about compatibility etc… Well I hope to make a series of posts...

That seems like a lot of work just to vape some weed

Maybe I’ll just send it to Bob Zmuda. I think he would appreciate it
