Lmao, even

The tree fits so well and she's never seemed so comfortable under saddle before. We had an amazing ride when testing it out

I switched a couple months ago and it's been absolutely fantastic

Living through the fall of the US is the fucking worst but also fascinating. It isn't too often that folks get to see this kinda thing. I hate this so much, but I am very curious to see how shit plays out. I'm doing what I can to improve conditions, but I can only do so much

That'd be fuckin amazing if they did

Fair lol. I'll def obscure my face next time lol

They're such a good band. I can't go to concerts because I have epilepsy and lights bother me. I'd go and see them, though. I have a friend who told me that he'd help me navigate the venue if I wore an eye covering lol. I almost made an impromptu trip to Philly last year to see them but decided against it because I had just had a hysterectomy lol

It's not even a catchphrase. It's a threat

I went to a no kings protest in my very red, very rural area and there were hundreds of people. I expected like a dozen of us. Protestors filled the area on the side of the street we started on and people had to start filling in the other. We got nothing but honks of support and cheers from passing cars. It was such an amazing turnout and it was such a great experience.

I stayed just outside of DC a couple weeks ago. I went into a run-down Dunkin and it was operated entirely in Spanish aside from the cashier knowing just enough English to take orders from people who aren't fluent in Spanish. I knew enough Spanish to be able to get my order when it was called. As I was leaving, a cop came in and started counting every brown person there. He made a big show of it, too, and people started panicking.

I honestly didn't know what to do in that situation. I was hungover as hell, broke, and had to drive 5 hours to get home so I could wake up for work the next day. I decided to just hang out and make sure the cop knew that I was watching him. I had my phone out and ready to record if more serious shit started happening. After a few minutes, the cop went back outside to his squad car and I pretended like I totally just happened to be leaving at the same time. When I blatantly eavesdropped on the cop and his buddy in the squad car outside, I heard them laughing about the whole thing. Apparently terroizing immigrants and their families is a fucking game to those bastards.

The patrons of the place cleared out immediately after the cops were gone. I stayed parked at that Dunkin for a good half an hour after everyone who could leave did and nothing else happened.

I have no idea if I should have done something more in that situation. I wanted to tell the cop to get the fuck out of there. I wanted to say some witty shit like "Oh man, I didn't order ice with my coffee."

I kinda freaked out internally when I realized what was happening but I couldn't bring myself to just leave despite my instincts telling me to. So I just made my presence and opposition to the cop known in a way that couldn't (legally) get me arrested and hoped for the best.

Lmao I love how folks are telling the VOICE OF GOD ON EARTH that he's wrong.

(I'm an atheist and don't believe it, but this whole situation is hilarious.)

If you can't grow your own black holes, store-bought is fine.

I've tried explaining Lemmy to people and they do not understand. They are like "just use reddit bro"

I stopped using Reddit when the API protests happened and haven't gone back. I honestly think Lemmy is far superior. I love seeing and interacting with the same people in varying threads. Feels like an actual community.

I work at an MSP and a lot of our clients have to follow specific security compliance standards. Because Windows 10 is eol soon, we've been slowly upgrading folks to 11. I die a little each time I do an upgrade. People, including my coworkers and I, are not happy with it overall, but nobody can do anything because ✨compliance standards✨

Honestly didn't think of this until you mentioned it. 10/10 gonna use this retort as soon as I can lmao

My mom and I are practically clones and I hate it. People compare me to her constantly and I wish I could be acknowledged as being my own person.

My coworkers give me shit for not working late all the time. Like, I work late when I absolutely have to or get permission to make up missed time. I refuse to stay just because lol.

I think my eyes would explode if I tried rolling my eyes any harder lol
