Yes, I raised my son to be a far left extremist. He’s nearly 30 and strong enough to cause havoc against a fascist regime.
I am not sorry.

‘Taxes are theft’ means ‘I can’t see where my taxes are going’ because they’re being siphoned by the billionaire class.
The solution is not to eliminate taxes (because that’s fighting a symptom) but to eliminate the billionaire class (which is the problem).
e: and you can do that with taxes.
Aw. I was thinking this is perfect for under the placemats at truck stops.
You sabotaged my vision,
We need to start calling this Trump’s Folly everywhere and for now on.
It won’t until it’s out from under Trump’s swampy fingers.
Quick reminder that Ivanka made her dad swear not to date anyone younger than her when she was 17.
Totally normal conversation for a teen girl to have with her father, and not horribly creepy at all.
Like, what the fuck prompted her to ask him to promise this?
Surely not whatever is implied by these photos:
‘They tricked me’: Migrants were promised $1,000 to voluntarily leave the US. Some never received it
You should pay the first few marks so they’ll help establish the veneer of credibility. That’s Conning 101.
I forget the corresponding Ferengi Rule of Acquisition number.

Shocked any received it, honestly.
Natural yarns are almost always best for wearables. It doesn’t need to be fancy (other than ooo pretty, which is my biggest criteria, too). I’d avoid 100% polyester, or high blends.
Personally, I love knitting with bamboo blends, and they’re quite affordable. They’re not suited for everything, but many feel like silk whilst wearing like cotton. And they’re often more sustainable.
It doesn’t wear as well as wool or cashmere in all contexts, but it’s affordable and very pleasant to knit with (eta: sometimes especially beginners have issues with lower end wools, which might be scratchy and which can cause friction issues in sensitive finger folds). I’d say bamboo is miles better for a beginner than polyester, and often comparably priced.
Yeah, the reason I referenced the ‘nothing to hide’ thing was because he’s a lawman, and that’s a lawman saying.
I agree with you.
It’s not considering the value of my time; a decent (actually wearable) yarn is far more expensive than most people think.
I would consider it a waste of my time to spend a couple hundred hours on a garment that’s barely wearable because it’s uncomfortable and borderline not washable. That’s what you will get with any yarn that won’t cost you over $50 in materials for a simple pattern.
Cheap yarns are fine for beginner projects that aren’t made to be worn, but if you’re putting that much of your effort into a garment meant to be used, you should not be using bargain yarn. Your effort is worth too much to sabotage yourself that way.
eta: oh, if you’re wondering (like I did) why knitting something in polyester would be different from store-bought garments in what seems like the same material, it’s mostly in the weight of the yarn, and partly in how insanely uniform machine knitting is. That creates a radically different fabric than even the most skilled human could produce, and small deviations in either yarn weight or technique have radical differences in the fabric. There are knitting techniques that produce highly artistic texture by doing nothing but varying yarn tension.
I haven’t seen this with alphabetical characters.
e: here’s the comment:
This may or may not be associated with music stands or equipment. I can’t remember.
I just emptied and re-did my music/video room, and found this bracket in a small box with no labels or anything. I can’t remember what it’s for. I think it’s either audio or video related, but it doesn’t seem to match any of my mic or equipment stands, though it might be. It’s devoid of any branding or part/serial numbers. No markings of any kind.
It folds like this:

There’s a sliding mount screw on the bottom:
Thanks!

Took me a while and an AskLemmy post to figure this out, since I initially thought Lemmy was auto-modding commenters (which kinda made me panic), but this is what I see:
I am the only mod in this community, and others aren’t seeing this flag everywhere, so commenters aren’t actually modded.
Is this a bug with Voyager or with my instance?
