Thank you so much! You have saved my inbox. It took me less than 1 minute to unsubscribe with your tip.
Not saying I agree that the fall of the US would help others, but we sure have fucked up a lot of countries over the years and it would be great if we stopped doing so. We've illegally prioritized the capitalist agenda at the expense of international progress time and time and time again. Imagine what South America might be like without US interference in their governments.
I saved your comment to give myself another laugh in a few weeks. Amazing.
It is suspicious that you have a photo of the shirt when it's folded up. Is that from YOUR closet, by chance?
Wait... People don't have a work-to-live attitude in CO? I live in NC where everyone works their lives away. Are you telling me I can move, even within the US, and that's not the case? I know NC is terrible for workers, but if it's that much of a discrepancy then I would pack and go elsewhere asap.
Code sent to gmail while using gmail..!
Lemmy, a few minutes ago I tried to change my notification settings for a website, but it was not possible using Gmail:
From my phone email inbox I clicked the link to unsubscribe. This opens the website, but via the gmail app. To sign into the website, they sent a single-use sign in code to my email... which I can't access because I'm using the email app to view the website. If I exit the website to view the new email containing the code, then I will lose my place on the site and need a new code sent to sign in. Thus an unresolvable loop.
Is this an asinine gmail issue, or am I an idiot? Please advise. I have ended up staying subscribed to several extremely annoying websites because of this bug/tactic.
Y'all, I'm very very vegetarian, but knocking this dude for recommending fishing is silly. "Fishing or another outside activity that seems relaxing to you" is implicit. People have different morals regarding animals and consumption. I get where you're coming from, but "birdwatching is also a great activity!" is a better and more positive response imo.

Can we please not start arguing in favor of eugenics?
Do you like the time change, or do you want to stick to standard time?
IMO it's tragic to eat such an intelligent creature. Maybe stick to these guys...? Mmmm.
Words in English that end in "-us" and pluralize to "-i" are from Latin, such as cactus/cacti or focus/foci. However, "octopus" is from Greek, and its correct pluralization from Greek would be "octopodes." In English, we have also adopted "octopuses," which fits our standard pluralization rules.
So, "octopi" is actually a language mix up, though one that's so common that it seems to be accepted in English.
Raisins be raisin people's blood sugar too, though. Just look at one.

If we're already taking about genitals, maybe I can ask if you know anything about the nerve endings in nipples? Two specific questions: first, touching them feels great to some people and awful to others. Why? Second, for someone to whom it feels good, the sensation is still really weird: it's almost like there's a ton of nerve endings but they're not site specific. It's not at all like poking yourself in the leg.
Trunk or treat 🤷
You're correct. I didn't mean that 40 was itself too old, only that there is a certain point at which they'll be too old for biological kids. No one is ever too old to find a new relationship though.
At some point we're too old to have biological children, yes, but my 72 year old father has been in a new relationship for about a year and they seem super happy together.

Have you tried palak paneer pizza? It might be a Baltimore thing. So good.
Getting experience as a landscape designer?
Hi all,
I'm attempting to change careers into landscape design/architecture, but I'm struggling to gain professional experience.
I've applied to 4 different job in the field, interviewed at one, but haven't had enough "professional experience" to land any of the jobs. Any tips on how to proceed? I was thinking about keeping my current job while also trying freelance for very nominal pay, but I'm not really sure how to go about that either.
For background, I've been at my current (unrelated) job for 6 years, took a community college class on AutoCAD, did a planting plan for a friend, and put together a portfolio (work in CAD, Photoshop, SketchUp, and physical media). I have some experience with plant nurseries, and a degree in biology. An in-person college architecture program is not option due to distance and expense, and I can't find any online programs. My portfolio gets compliments, but I seem to need more drafting experience.
Pixel 3a, battery update - worth it?
Hi all,
I've had a 3a for some years now, and I like almost everything about the phone (though I sincerely wish they'd used more durable glass, holy canoli). However, the battery has started to fail, and I was wondering if it's worth replacing? It would cost about 80 USD to have it professionally replaced.
I know the device is no longer supported by Google, but I was thinking of running GrapheneOS instead of Android, anyway.
Any thoughts or insights? I'm far from a genius when it comes to cell phones, so I'd appreciate anything you have to say.
Thanks!
