My fucking father in law is gonna eat this shit up. We're going out to his family gathering next weekend and my son has a really cute rainbow and pink outfit he's been dying to show off. For context, this extended family has an ex-in law who came out as trans and whom they violently hate, so my kiddo won't be exposed to them too much as he grow up. Alas, the old G-pa in law doesn't have much longer so we gotta go hang out with peeps.
If that's the vibe in your workplace, then you for sure need to unionize.
Yet another reason to want to move to the Netherlands
Yeah I'm in BC
Tbf, I'm an anarchist/antifascist (aka non-Trump voter), and I definitely have strong opinions on manhood. They just happen to be the opposite of what the MAGA nuts would believe.
I'm glad you have a wife that is supportive.
I hear you about platonic friends. Its really hard to make friends as an adult. I'm in the same boat. My wife has friends because she's lived in this town for decades, but I'm an immigrant who's only been here since 2019 and 80% of the other people in our town drive pickup trucks and think vaccines kill people. The struggle is real. Whatever its worth I'm proud of you for putting yourself out there. I dont have the courage to try that so much myself.
Ive heard a handful of Christian leaders say things like, "I know its all gonna end in flames eventually, so I'm happy driving my massive SUV thank you very much".
Assuming you'll get captured before having to pay the consequences for climate breakdown, while knowing fully that your actions are causing the destruction of the world, should result in legally having all of your property confiscated and given to a refugee family.
I am so so so sorry that happened to you. That is so incredibly fucked up and not okay. The fact this happened at Pride is just...so heartbreaking. I am a cis-het male, but I inevitably cry tears of joy every year at our local Pride festival because there are so many people from across the entire LGBTQ2IAS+ community in our very conservative/religious city who get so much shit from judgmental bigots, every day of the year, but Pride is a time when they are not just accepted, but fucking CELEBRATED! Friend, if the hater who spewed those lies to you won't celebrate you, I sure as hell will. Such_lettuce7970, I dont know you IRL, but judging from your post history you use Linux, and youre here on the threadiverse, and you have seem to have a heart for sharing vulnerability with others which is such an incredible gift for all of us to be blessed by. You're a fucking cool-ass woman, and I hope you are able to find people IRL who are able to validate that about yourself. Sending a handful of soldarity tears and many, many loving vibes your way (and if you're cool with it, some WiFi hugs as well). Youre a fucking treasure, and your cats are lucky as shit to be able to hang out with you.
Does this include Crimea or just territory seized since 2022?
I actually disagree - the glasses were kind of his thing...
I mean, tbf, he's pretty racist himself
I'm actually shocked and not shocked at the same time...
Perhaps the Democratic Party should understand that this is what happens when you campaign on social justice and then govern like a Republican from the early 2000s, and then adjust accordingly. For many on the left, the prospect of having a Republican president in 2024 may be less frightening than letting the center-right Democrats get bullied around by the GOP and Fox News for another 4 years while actively targeting/destroying actual progressive movements. I'm not necessarily saying I'm on that side of the fence myself, but the Dems have spent the last few years deeply undercutting a lot of the progressive base that got Biden across the finish line and into the White House.
Remember when Windows 10 was "the last operating system"?
I follow a bunch of the stuff on kolektiva.media but would love to see more content get shared on cool instances
This is the point at which the left-wing in France needs to step the fuck up and convince the centrists that the best way to beat the Nazis is not to vote for Diet Nazi.
Nobody will ever convince me that this is not pronounced "Bike-ee town".
Great video from Tom Babin about bike racks
I've heard this phrase so many times in my life I dont even think about it, but the more I dwell on it, I dont really get it
Its a RadWagon 4 that I bought last year to haul my kiddo around (before he was even born lol). The bike's name is Clementino.
I found the berry flat on the side of the road and then zap strapped it to the front for extra grocery carrying capacity. Its a beast of a bike for sure, but hopefully not too ugly 😄
Understanding barrel adjusters is really important if you want to tweak or make minor adjustments to your brakes or gear shifting. This is always the first place to start before getting involved with other more impactful methods of adjusting brakes/shifting.
Essentially, barrel adjusters are a great way to fix problems without needing to use tools or take your bike into the shop.
If you bike commute in an urban environment or along roads with cars, you might have wondered whether pollution masks can protect you against negative…
With all of the wildfire smoke in North America right now, it's important to revisit the topic of masking. Turns out, COVID isn't the only thing that will fuck up your lungs.
TL;DR - They say N95 masks work alright, but N99 masks are preferable.
