If OP’s not from the US, turkey might not be an option – it’s not very common in a lot of places here in Europe for example.
Might be an option to just buy cat food (after they recover from their injury) and hide it in their room if the stepmom is that controlling
Gah, honestly I’m not surprised at all she’s like that, she sounds exactly like the type.
Holy crap, that’s sounds outright abusive
Ah, I managed to completely miss the last part of the comment because I’m an eejit who can’t read good
Which naturally means it’s impossible for it to be an issue for literally anybody else anywhere at any time
And no, before some dumb fuck has any bright ideas, I’m not saying this will be an issue for everybody, just that it’s absolutely fucking idiotic to pretend it’s never an issue.
In 2017 his name was mentioned as a visionary comparable to the Wright Brothers and Zefram Cochrane (inventor of the warp drive) on a Star Trek episode set in the 2250s.
By a character who was explicitly evil and whose judgement we were not meant to trust, though
I got smoked out of a company I helped found because I had health issues, even though I was still capable of doing my job. It’s illegal to fire people for health issues here, but it’s not like firing someone is the only way to get rid of them.
Everybody who’s telling you you can legally use these appointments is probably completely correct (depending on your jurisdiction). Whether the legality actually matters is another thing entirely.
Not American, but excellent try anyhow.
Oh you sweet summer child
Ah well that’s certainly fair enough, I had no idea it’s a Google-encumbered format.
Not sure I’ve ever “voluntarily” converted something to webp. Many Lemmy instances’ pict-rs setups seem to use it, my home instance sopuli.xyz obviously being one of them, which I guess is a sort of a funny choice considering
Why do so many folks dislike webp? I really have no strong feelings towards it one way or the other
Which, I guess, is part of the problem
Exactly so!
While I’ll definitely do what I can to try and influence the trajectory we’re on I’m just one person with very little power, and I’m not exactly optimistic about how things are going and figure that at some point something like this meme will be the best I can do
It’s the step between primary and secondary school that a lot of countries have, also known as intermediate school, junior high school, junior secondary school, or lower secondary school: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_school
Yeah it was a middle school thing in Finland too, at least in the 90’s.
I did an exchange year in the US in my 2nd high school year, and I was honestly a bit surprised at how… well, simple it all was. I was a senior in the US and I’d learned just about everything they taught that wasn’t specific to the US or the English language (and even some of those…) either in my 1st year in high school or in middle school.
Yeah that’s a fair point, although it’s still a bit… well, funny (not “funny ha ha”) that they even temporarily blocked those extensions. Not sure what Roskomnadzor could have done if Mozilla had refused even a temporary block, at least assuming the foundation doesn’t have any legal entities in Russia which they may well have
Browser maker decided not to follow Putin’s orders. Well done
Only after it caused a PR flap for them, though
Honestly, just properly funding anything that is designed to do benevolent things for the community as a whole is a tough sell with way too many US community politicians
This seems to be a problem with at least conservative politicians everywhere. In Finland where I live we do still have the vestiges of a welfare state (and it really is vestigial at this point), but right wing politicians keep dismantling it and cutting taxes on the rich, and later on leftist politicians find it impossible to roll back any changes due to resistance from the right.
Urr, I don’t think that’s it, I don’t think stereo sound for vinyls has ever worked so that something like this would be necessary and it wouldn’t really make sense – why would they have to put vocals on one channel and instruments on the other?
A stereo vinyl player just has the needle moving up and down in addition to left and right, so that the left-right axis is the sum of the waveforms of both channels and the up-down axis is the difference – which means that a regular mono player can play stereo vinyls
