I'm not part of the drag scene, but my understanding is that drag is an exaggerated performance of gender.

The actual situation of the actor doesn't really factor into whether or not it's drag. It's also not exclusively an exaggerated performance of femininity.

I reckon I could carry those bricks.

I'm not confident my tax documents aren't saved to my dektop.

I usually air gap onto an external disk, but I've been busy recently.

As a workaround with the default directory fuckery, I always just made new ones.

So Congress has one man, with a particular set of skills, tasked with apprehending targets and bringing them to the House floor.

Sounds like a movie idea.

dodgy_bagel ,

I wish I had neighbors like yours.

dodgy_bagel ,

On the one hand, you have a violent insurrection, some of whom had the intent to assassinate multiple government leaders. On the other hand, a guy uploaded some dude's tax returns.

TIL that in 1932, Fritz Gerlich, a German journalist, made fun of Hitler’s bigotry by publishing a satire article “proving” that Hitler was Mongolian. Later, Gerlich was taken to Dachau and murdered. ( en.wikipedia.org )

Anyone who thinks that foreign or business interests wouldn't try to fan the flames of unrest in order to influence the election hasn't paid any attention to previous elections.

It doesn't mean that the reason for the unrest isn't valid. They found a weakness and they're going for it.

I am disgusted with Biden. Punishing his behavior at the general election will result in an even worse situation for the people of Palestine.

Are you prepared to engage in accelerationism?

dodgy_bagel ,

That's why I called it a weakness.

Sorry about you not seeing the lightning bug.

Cheddar cheese is woke?

Tasty... cheese.

Suggesting perhaps that all other varients are not tasty?

It's at an unholy cultural crossroads. Can't decide if it's Midwestern, Southern, Southwestern, or Texan.

So basically someone else is paying your mortgage and giving you equity without generating any equity themselves.

dodgy_bagel ,

Heaviside layer here we gooooooo

dodgy_bagel ,

Seriously.

Nothing is worse than a feral fish.

Those things are so riddled with diseases that you'll be trying to eradicate the bubonic plague in your tank for about five years after the feral fish died. AFTER you empty the tank and hit it with a vinegar scrub and then literally a flame thrower.

"Higher being" is true in a strictly topographical sense.

Growing legs and flopping out of the oceans was a mistake.

In the beginning, the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

dodgy_bagel ,

Honestly, I would love to be eaten after my organs were harvested.

Help people one last time, you know? It's also symbolic because part of me will live on through them.

dodgy_bagel ,

That's basically why humans are OP. A maxed out teach skill, paired with a high social base stat, is incredible synergy. Tool use is just a bonus.

News about Trump and the legal system for the past 8 years:

Google Allows Creditors to Brick Your Phone ( lemmy.world )

I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they're on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can't be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?...

dodgy_bagel ,

Wow! Rattling off stats like that is a great way to shiw you're not shilling.

Tell me, how is the display color quality and camera resolution?

dodgy_bagel ,

WeChat preinstalled?

But nah, the OnePlus 7 with a custom ROM was my jam. Shame the screen broke.

No, no. They have a point. I know a few necromancers

Letitia James ready to seize Trump buildings if he can't pay $355M fine: report ( www.rawstory.com )

New York Attorney General Letitia James is ready to seize former President Donald Trump's iconic New York City buildings if he can't come up with the cash to pay his $355 million civil fraud fine, a new report shows. "If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek judgment enfo...

Actually, the supremacy clause of the constitution protects any state or federal law enforcement from taking place on property owned by the president (or former president). It's kinda like the reservation system- in fact I think Andrew Jackson "bought" all native land for $1, which enabled the formation of indian reservations.

Blue, no matter who.

dodgy_bagel ,

No it isn't. It's a natural extension of our election mechanics.

here's a good video: https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo?si=3eRKyXexwk4TDd6n

dodgy_bagel ,

I mean, blue no matter who doesn't really mean forever.

Where things stand, there is no scenario where Republicans will ever do a better job than Democrats. Voting progressive needs to happen during primaries.

dodgy_bagel ,

I would say that companies artificially raising prices because their competitors are doing it too is actually a big problem which accounts for a ton of needless economic hardship.

Presidents have previously implemented anti trust policies; it's not like this is anything new.

And goddamn it my oreo had regular sized cookies with a tiny little nickle sized speck of filling in the middle. It looked ridiculous.

dodgy_bagel ,

so what's the "child care" section for?

dodgy_bagel , (edited )

I'm wondering what childcare looks like in your area... In my area, part time daycare isn't really a thing; You fork out the cash for full-time, whether you use it or not.

I actually think this chart is spot on for my area. We're single income with one kid and we're right around the amount they list.

If we didn't have a good mortgage rate and if we were both working for the same amount then we would just barely scrape by.

Store brand foods are good a lot of times. They used to be garbage, but nowadays they're pretty good.

Frozen veggies instead of fresh is usually okay if you're steaming or roasting.

Automotive parts off Amazon have worked alright; Rebuilt my suspension for, like, $120. That's tie rod, sway bar, shocks, and struts. No issues for the two years since that repair.

A ton of hobbies have perfectly respectable aliexpress alternatives. Keycaps, Fountain pens, 3d printer parts. They rob intellectual property, but I like linux ISOs, so I don't exactly have a history of respecting that type of property.

Software in general can be cheaped out on; I don't think I need to champion FOSS on here.

Refrigerators and washing machines can be cheaped out on, as long as you do a bit of research about their reliability.

Lots of stuff is easy to DIY if you have some work space. Furniture, fish tanks, thermonuclear warheads. Learning to sew is valuable, not because you should make your own clothes -fuck that- but because you can mend the stitching on your current clothes.

Services can usually be cheaped out on. Youtube videos and a can-do attitude can get you through manicures and toilet repairs. Court clerks will sometimes be willing to walk you through basic legal stuff like name changes. Things you should educate yourself about beyond a short youtube video: Electricity, flammability (from heat sources), and anything involving significant pressure (pistons, compressed air, and power washers, mostly.).Also be a little careful with chemical reactions: cement hardening, for example, will produce a bit of heat. Usually this isn't a big deal and you can ignore it, but there have been idiots.The world's information is at your disposal. Provided you've got some common sense, and you never fuck around with the capacitor in a microwave, you should be fine.

dodgy_bagel ,

Good catch, but that's a common misconception. You can actually use woodworking tools on glass, such as drills and saws, but you need to go a lot slower and make sure to keep vibrations under controll.

dodgy_bagel ,

I mean it's an incredibly difficult job to refine the chemicals enough to produce a usable product. There's a finite number of instalations which can actually pull off the delicate chemistry. The materials to make it are fairly common enough; essentially just SiO2,Al2O3, Na2O, and K2O, but it's much easier to obtain it from the hardware store. I'm definitely not suggesting you attempt to make your own clear glass.

dodgy_bagel ,

I see this as an absolute win.

Plus, I'll be the proud owner of ocean front property in Oklahoma.

We need peer review meta analysis published in a with 50 years of study and published in a paywalled journal in order to verify that we should change our socks.

Fuck man, I didn't think I would need to pull up scholarly sources about foot sweat.

here

When running, you sweat around 250 grams of sweat per square meter per hour. Variables change +/- 50g ish depending on what you are or are not wearing on the foot, what the ambient temperature is, and what you're doing.

You can work out the maths of your own foot sweat.

Obviously, less physical activity will result in less sweat.

dodgy_bagel ,

Holy fuck.

Change your socks.

Please.

Change your socks.
