I regret buying a guitar, I can’t even do the simplest shit on it according to YouTube… I dunno if it’s laziness or just being tired of sucking so much and not being able to play the music that I like… Maybe a mix of both?
trying to start any kind of art as an adult sucks because inevitably by that point, you’ve got a fair head start on your art appreciation skill, which makes you perceive your initial attempts at art creation as particularly heinous. if you start as a kid, you’re less capable of recognizing how bad you are, and you aren’t having to compare yourself against peers who’ve got twenty years of experience on you.
i only found out they had a smell a couple years ago, and i’m in my 30s. not because i can’t smell them though, but just because i hadn’t noticed it before.
having an SD card slot and headphone jack is much more important to me than durability
por que no los dos? i drop my phone on nearly a daily basis, because i am clumsy af, but the screen is more scratch and impact resistant than any screen protector i could purchase, and it’s still fine after a couple years of that abuse. it still has a headphone jack and removable sim/sd tray, and if it ever gets dirty i can wash it in the sink. i do wish it had a removable battery and a better camera, but nothing’s perfect i guess. there’s no reason sturdiness or waterproofness need to get in the way of any functionality.
the trick is though, they don’t market these sorts of phones to clumsy people, they more aim them at construction workers.
the earth is round, that’s obvious if you just go to the beach, but the moon is a flat disk. the back side of the disk is home to a dinosaur utopia that nasa doesn’t want us to know about.
definitely the Tubbs Fire. You can see where my childhood home used to be in the wikipedia image! Fortunately, we didn’t live there at the time, we were a couple neighborhoods over, but it was still quite scary, the air was horrible, it lasted forever, and we had to evacuate for a while to my grandma’s house to the south. Fortunately the worst of the damage to our home was holes melted in the fake grass from raining embers, and a persistent smell of smoke, and nobody i knew got hurt.
someday, i want to live somewhere that doesn’t have to worry about ‘fire season’.
i’ve never heard of this practice before, and it’s fascinating.
fun fact though (since i am a fan of linquistics and typography and such): jesus wouldn’t have been a capitalized pronoun user because capitalization wouldn’t be invented for over a thousand years after his death. and, he would’ve been speaking aramaic, which never developed a bicameral script in the first place. unless of course we’re to assume that he (and presumably his god dad) ghost-wrote the king james bible i guess and they wanted to update their pronouns with these newfangled upper and lower case letters.
true, but as the article explains, in some places, the legal definition of bestiality does not require a penis to be involved, nor does it provide exceptions for artificial insemination of farm animals.
the ‘bestiality problem’ is not (thankfully) that people are out there having sex with cows in droves, but that, in their relentless pursuit of profit, the meat/dairy industries are probably violating the law, and definitely violating the livestock, on a massive scale.
I see this way too often here on Lemmy, so I want to post this. Starting a commune is legal in most countries. If you believe in communism, you can found a commune and show us all how great it is....
depends on the opinion and what you mean by “respect”, i suppose. i will say though that if someone goes around spouting baseless nonsense and expects to be taken seriously, i will probably respect them less as a person.
I saw the trailer for “American society of magical Negroes” and it looked kinda funny in the first 20 seconds, then the trailer went on to show what I’m pretty sure was literally everything in the movie....
i really wish i hadn’t seen the trailer for From Dusk Til Dawn. if you know nothing about the film, and have ever enjoyed a tarentino flick, just watch it blind, please.
