They can take the exoskeletons off?!?

I was going to do laundry

I get most of my clothing free (I’m not picky and I’m a common size), so at least in my case, sometimes I paid nothing to look like an advertisement. I don’t really care what’s on the shirt, and some of them are logos I don’t recognize, so it could be anything. It’s there to keep me from being arrested or kicked out, and my primary criteria are comfort in texture and temperature. If it’s comfy, has no holes/stains and fits well, I’m not worried about what design it has on it.

…To a point, I’m not wearing anything bigoted (though part of me enjoys the idea of a queer autistic immigrant getting use out of bigotry by wearing it inside out, but not enough)

My favorite sweatshirts are my uniform sweatshirts from the bakery I work at- they’re high quality and comfy as hell, plus I’ll never, ever wear them at work because it’s a bakery, it’s hot as fuck.

I’ve got a dear friend who’s been struggling with suicidal ideation for years, and there are lots of reasons I don’t want him to, primarily that he’s a force of good in the world. Secondarily, he deserves to know joy and he can’t do that if he kills himself first (then there’s his goddaughter, his writing, getting to watch trump die, coming to visit me in Germany, his work is getting picked up more and more, apple fritters, blueberry picking, going on drives in his beat-to-shit old van, and a hundred other reasons). It’s getting to the age where even my terminally optimistic self starts to think that he deserves peace, but I can’t help thinking that therapeutic attention is the best solution (he was raised too catholic for that, unfortunately). He keeps talking to me and he doesn’t get too annoyed about it, so I’ll keep talking to him until one day, panicked, I can’t reach him, and the world will forever be worse.

Not globally, but on lemmy. I assumed that’s what you meant.

65% is my guess.

Amenorrhea and hyponatremia. I do also like orchidectomy, but I am less comfortable repeating it over and over than the others - it feels like it’ll be taken as a threat

Autistic and I don’t care, but I do listen and I try to do it well.

With the pill is a life hack (hydration is critical), 30 minutes later it’s an impossibility for me

Maybe, but they might also have never encountered warm blooded species, so it’s a toss up

Though admittedly after all

I’m mostly going off of the Tagesschau and FAZ, but that’s good to know about SZ. I do hear super pro Palestinian takes (I’m on the calling this a genocide side, but not on the glorifying Hamas side), but those tend to be from local Marxist groups (student town) or foreign publications, so a more mainstream, balanced source is nice.

I unfortunately agree that this is probably not going to get solved in time.

You want 32 oz of dried oregano?

I got a used Nissan Leaf (that was one year old, so people didn’t realize it was used). Everyone was constantly telling me that I should have bought used because the lithium for a new battery is worse than anything else in the world. When I told them it was used, they either said I should have gotten an older one, or they just stopped talking about it.

The news in Germany is also shockingly biased. Obviously things like the Bild were going to be, but even on more mainstream news, you don’t hear about Palestinian casualties, nor do you hear interviews with Palestinians or Israelis against of the war (at most you get an Israeli who’s slightly critical of methods, but still thinks Israel should be actively defending itself). If you’re a German who doesn’t look at international sources for news, it would be very strange not to support Israel, based on what you’re hearing. It’s infuriating, but it’s also difficult to change. I don’t know what it would take for the German media to stop supporting them.

You’re just extra br*tish

That’s what my six foot tall mother used to say.

Here you go

True, but the grift that is a thrice-divorced philanderer who made his fame in business in casinos selling commemorative bibles is a real paragon of it.

I mean, they do… just not ones that are laid.
