  • Electric cars are to save the auto industry, not the environment.

  • Unless you’re moving furniture or have a physical disability it’s not really an issue. It’s also easy to use Uber/Lyft/etc and book a large vehicle on the occasions you do actually need it.

    I guess if you’re buying a ton of pet food/litter or drinks regularly it could be a pain, but if an area is actually designed well you won’t be carrying it very long. And if you plan ahead and have one of those little luggage/shopping carts you don’t have to carry it at all.

  • You might want to reread the post, because nothing about it implies straight people are in charge of pride. Only that the straight response to pride month tends to be empty celebratory phrases instead of recognizing how LGBTQ people are still being hurt.

  • Oh, my workaround for that is easy, just develop lifelong crippling anxiety and still forget about 10% of them anyways!

  • Unlike you facebooks twitters telegrams and what have yous, Lemmy World bans users before they commit their terrorist acts

    This didn’t happen, he got bored and left a few months after making an account. He was still mod of !antinatalism@lemmy.world until the day after the bombing.

  • The conservatives where I live shit blood absolutely any time any changes are made to roads to make them even slightly more pedestrian and bus/bike friendly. Preventing accidents/deaths and generally having a more usable, inviting environment for anyone that isn’t a car is unacceptable if it adds even a second to their commute. Go live on the fucking highway if you like it so much.

  • Because it was wildly under diagnosed in many places until recently, and if you weren’t a white boy you were a lot less likely to be correctly diagnosed.

  • LA Times reports that Palm Springs bomber had an account on Lemmy.world

    Jump

  • That’s the only mod action for the entire community, if it’s a coincidence it’s a wild one.

  • Just a reminder... (with thanks to Ice Cube)

  • That reminds me, I keep forgetting to post this sticker I saw on a lamp post a few weeks ago:

  • Dems Hemorrhaged Support from All Demographics in 2024 — Including New Voters

    Jump

  • Dem strategist brains are as wormy as RFK Jr’s, they’ll never accept that it was anything other than the moral impurity of the voting base that lost them the election.

  • LA Times reports that Palm Springs bomber had an account on Lemmy.world

    Jump

  • lmao, the only mod action on his account was removing him as the mod of !antinatalism@lemmy.world three days ago, after he was already dead.

    Which was the day after the bombing, FBI must have been up LW’s ass pretty quick.

    YSK How to sew on a button

    Jump

  • It has the number of steps it does so that the pressure from the button holding your pants closed is evenly distributed over the fabric (and thread), so that nothing tears or rips. When sewing through cloth more points of attachment is generally better. You might be able to staple a button on without damaging the fabric over time, but it’s probably a lot less comfortable to wear than one sewn on.

    Just attached a button to my pants yesterday, after the factory sewn button gave up.

  • Before gay marriage was legal most places in the US I knew a couple of people that were married for this reason, minus the kids. I wonder if they ever got divorced.

  • The Tesseract front end for lemmy lets you get one of several archive site links for any posted article with 2 clicks, if you haven’t tried it yet. I think your instance admin has to (install? enable?) it, but it’s worth it just for that IMO

  • AOC Seen as ‘Face’ of Democratic Party — and It’s Not Even Close: New Poll

    Jump

  • Other democrats simply have not been pushing back on the Republicans in the way that she has, and it's fucking baffling.

    It’s a lot less baffling if you consider the possibility that they never believed any of the shit they said about Trump being a threat to democracy, or if they did that part doesn’t bother them. It was Theater Time during the election and now it’s Cooperation Time, and actually you’re the extreme one for not just seamlessly switching modes!

  • They learned their lesson with Obama. The funny thing is he’s not even a fucking leftist, the party is just so full of dinosaurs they think a modern centrist is a leftist.

  • What's a piece of esoteric knowledge you have?

    Jump

  • Hm, I guess this is esoteric in the sense that most people aren’t interested in it?

    Some clothes are made with what’s called ‘slub cotton’, which is cloth made from cotton thread that has irregular lumps jutting out of it. It gives the final woven fabric an interesting look, almost like static. If it’s done with bright or contrasting colors it can give a really interesting pop to the final item.
