The last option on my dad’s Apple Watch is “Can I call you later?” and he accidentally sent it to the family group chat one time, so now that’s his staple response if he doesn’t have something to contribute to the conversation. Honestly it’s one of my favourite running jokes now and makes me laugh every time, no matter how many times he does it

Shameless plug for my community !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works which I think is quite neat. Best gaming community imo

I disagree, my goal is to get her to groan. When she rolls her eyes and leaves the room I know I’ve done a good job

My girlfriend finds showering and bathing extremely painful due to several very severe skin conditions. She’s also allergic to almost every deodorant that doesn’t cost a ridiculous amount. She doesn’t sweat a whole lot so it’s usually not an issue, and can get away with only one shower a week usually. Her conditions are pretty rare so I’m not saying everyone who doesn’t shower regularly has what she has, but there might be factors at play for some that give them legitimate reason not to shower. Or it could just be laziness

Both parts. Islay has both testicles and a uterus. We call her a she (since our other cat is a boy so it’s just easier if one is he and one is she), but technically she’s a they. Unfortunately it’ll be very expensive to get her fixed because of it.

I don’t mod any big communities here yet but I’d be more than happy to help out this one. I’ve been subbed to the subreddit equivalent for years so I know the content well enough, and you can stay as mod in the background and I’ll happily resign from the position if you don’t like how I’ve handled it.

Edit: I also have an alt account on sh.itjust.works too if you’d rather I use that one to mod, if you decide on me

The Memmy dev certainly seems to have been doing that, he’s been pushing out so many updates it’s incredible

When I told my coworker about Islay, she got very excited to use that fact to help support her arguments with her right wing family or whoever she argues with about this sorta thing. Thankfully all my friends and family are left wing, most are far left, so I don’t ever have those sorts of arguments in my life, but I was more than happy to help her situation.

This would be a great time to promote !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

Well in this case it’s quite clever since he’s literally surfing the web

That’s not how tax write offs work

Jerry: So we're gonna make the Post Office pay for my new stereo now?

Kramer: It's a write-off for them.

Jerry: How is it a write-off?

Kramer: They just write it off.

Jerry: Write it off what?

Kramer: Jerry, all these big companies, they write off everything.

Jerry: You don't even know what a write-off is.

Kramer: Do you?

Jerry: No, I don't.

Kramer: But they do. And they're the ones writing it off.

I saw him on the news yesterday, hadn’t heard about him before that. I’d suggest finding an article that talks about it, but here’s some of the info (some from memory, some from the web, so apologies if it’s slightly inaccurate or missing info):

He wrote a controversial song (“Try That In A Small Town”) that some people were claiming was racist while others defended it. The music video ended up getting taken down due to the controversy. The video showed footage of BLM protests, along with showing violence and other crimes. Some lyrics include:

“Try that in a small town/ See how far ya make it down the road/ Around here, we take care of our own”

And

“Got a gun that my granddad gave me/ They say one day they’re gonna round up/ Well that shit might fly in the city/ Good luck”

He’s mostly getting defended by republicans if you were curious. I know he was also singing in front of the Maury County Courthouse, which had an 18 year old black man get hanged for alleged assault of a white woman who never identified the man as the assailant. It also showed the building on fire and the American flag burning too. There’s some other imagery as well that I can’t quite remember now, again I’d suggest finding an article on it.

Hopefully that helps to answer some questions

Mechanical watches. Most people don’t understand just how expensive they can get, outside of the ones with diamonds all over them, nor why they’re so expensive. Most people also don’t understand how expensive it is to be allowed to buy certain models, depending on the model and the dealer you’re buying from. Also, watch repairs and regular servicing of mechanical watches is something most people don’t consider, and the price of tools if you want to do it yourself can be very expensive and require a lot of skill.

I collect wrist watches and intend on learning watch repair soon ish

More often than not, cats with both parts tend to develop cancer as a result of it, apparently. That’s according to the vet anyway. But yeah I think they tend to be sterile in most cases.

Personally I’d like to see more content over at !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works . Full disclosure, I’m a mod there, but I do think it’s the best gaming community here

One of the advantages of being a patient gamer for sure. Shoutout to !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

This is absolutely correct! I’ve tried making a couple communities already, I’d suggest others do that too. Niche communities might not be too popular right now, but I think it’s a good idea to make them anyway, so when people come browsing here and see their favourite niche topic has a community already, they might make an account and post in it.

Funny you should ask. I just saw this pop up, I guess I logged into Lemmy just as you posted this. I’ve got one made, it’s at the Lemmy world instance though, since that’s where I set up my account. The link is https://lemmy.world/c/buycanadian in case anyone is curious

Wait you guys get internet for €13/month? cries in Canadian
