If only there were somewhere in between…

I’m a millennial and don’t use Facebook. None of my zoomer family members use Facebook. In fact the only people I know who do use it are boomers.

I have two goddaughters, born 4 years apart. Each were due on 29th Feb, both arrived on the 1st March. I’m still disappointed by their lateness.

But in both cases the parents had decided to celebrate on the 1st of March on non-leap years, had they arrived on their due dates.

I don’t think a lot of thinking was involved in that decision.

I’m not a volcanologist or anything, but surely you were taught there are different types of eruptions at school? The Pompeii one was some kind of super heated gas and ash cloud (again, not a volcanologist) that people had no chance of outrunning. The Icelandic one that shut airports blasted ash crazy high into the atmosphere, caused tonnes of disruption but not too much destruction. This one is a slow boiler - they had lots of advance warning, no toxic gas, no giant ash cloud - just a slow moving lava flow that is still causing destruction but hopefully no death.

Kinda defeats the object of closing your bedroom door to prevent fire/smoke spreading but I can definitely see how useful it’d be if you had dogs and cats. Or flatmates. Or family members you don’t particularly want to be naked in front of after your cat walks in and inevitably leaves the door wide open. Can you easily remove it from the outside of the room, or do you need to be inside the room to attach and remove it?

Look, I was forced to learn R (very badly) for my PhD (which I didn’t complete). So technically I’m not a nerd (it’s sadder than that). Yay!!

This article has some interesting info. As of right now they are 2 meters away from being freed.

I’m a girl and taller than the tank. Wanna swap?

My partner is 6’2 and said it’s the first time he’s felt short in a crowd.

I think performative christians would just latch onto these two and ignore the others: “blessed are those whose who hunger and thirst for righteousness…” and “blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake…” it’s probably not meant to mean zealots with a persecution complex, but that’s the way they’d spin it.

Lemmy world are nazis?

I question Ireland’s score too. My cousins left as fasts as they could.

I don’t know who exactly the “we” and “you” are referring to in your comment. But the Irish have been long been supporters of the Palestinian people no doubt due to their experience during the Troubles. I’d say the British people (not necessarily the government) support Palestine too. My brother has been to a number of pro-Palestine marches in the UK before this latest escalation of violence.

!murderedbywords@feddit.uk is going to take a hit.

And it will be £2.99 a month on top of the prime cost to watch without them.

I wasn’t one of the 1% on Reddit, not even remotely close, but I suspect I might be close on lemmy (excluding repost/mirror/auto bots). I really wanted lemmy to succeed and knew that some people, almost any people, had to step up and help get the ball rolling initially. So I started 5 Reddit subs I missed, posted content every day for a few weeks and they’ve been reasonably successful. !badrealestate has 5k subscribers and that feels like a decent contribution.

I’m sensing you don’t like going to the office…

I remember at the start of the first lockdown there were a bunch of young people in flat shares that really really struggled because the only private place they had to work was their bedrooms. I can definitely understand why people might like to work in the office for that reason and reasons like your own.

I mean workers feel like that, but employees and governments don’t seem to. And the propaganda against WFH is still going strong.
