Does anyone know what the Venn diagram she's holding up in the picture actually says?

If you can stand a bit more, the show does become a lot more than what those first few episodes imply.

I know St Ives uses crushed up walnut shells and apricot pits for theirs.

But... It's your post taking about negativity, so you're saying your post about negativity on Lemmy is evidence of negativity on Lemmy? Or the fact the current vote count is negative?

Huh. Maybe it's the communities/posts I've visited but I wouldn't agree with your assessment of an inherent negativity/hatefulness. Do you have examples we can discuss?

It's goofy as hell. House members and senators can get donations and contributions from people anywhere. I'm sure it could be funneled to circumvent, but I would expect laws that candidates be only allowed to get them from entities and people in their geographic constituencies would at least have some kind of positive effect.

The one from the 50's, good as it was for the time, is now overshadowed in the popular consciousness by Carpenter's. Ironically, it seems like the former did quite well at the box office whereas the latter bombed and only over time has it grown in popularity.

"One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, 'Well, sir,

Imma stop it right there. It's always possible that someone, out of a general professional attitude or decorum, used that 'sir' wording, but I'll be damned if I've heard Trump use that word in a context that doesn't sound like he's just making some bullshit up.

I mean, he pretty much always sounds like he's making some shit up, but my point stands!

Also those two dudes working with Giuliani had a business named Fraud Guarantee.

It's interesting you mention Apple because while I have every expectation that you're correct at the moment, the iPod absolutely benefited from piracy. iTunes allowed you to add your own songs to your library to sync with the device, and iTunes could also be argued to have been on a similar model to Steam because you'd pay to 'own' the songs and there was no subscription giving you access to songs.

I don't care about right jeans making me look old because I just can't wait until baggy pants become more acceptable to wear again. Much more comfortable!
