Compiling from a good ol’ P4, are we?

I can’t imagine removing a healthy part of the endocrine system has good results in the long term. If it’s an option, perhaps an ovarian preserving spay, or a vasectomy, would be in order. Though not many vets in the US offer such procedures. If only we could be more like Germany…

Polish Roulette?

The fact that visual collage can exist so easily, and yet audio collage is facing an uphill battle, some 40 years later, feels like a big indicator that copyright law in the US still needs a massive overhaul

I still maintain that The Jungle should be required reading in high school in the US, but I think it will never happen

Sounds like you may be unfamiliar with Tijuana Bibles, as they were called. You might find their history interesting.

I swear every accusation from the alt-right is a confession

Even if they knew, they probably wouldn’t care :)

I’m still disappointed about when I found out that one Soul Coughing song wasn’t about con men: “You get the angles, and I’ll get the rest”, but the lyrics were actually “you get the ankles, and I’ll get the wrists”

Usually called a fursuit, I think even for non-mammalian characters.

Sometimes avoiding the Walmartians feels worth the markup

As someone using it as a daily driver, I wish you the best of luck. If you stick with it, I expect you’ll learn a lot about what goes on behind the scenes in other distros that have a lot pre-configured, like greeters, compositors (or DEs and WMs), etc.

I believe shrimp are closer to isopods (roly polies and such), though I may be mistaken

Soft shell lobster, though, right? Granted, I’d think it’s less crunchy, but still…

Wow, here’s something I would have expected from Reddit, not Lemmy. I’ll just be a weirdo, not funding the horrors we subject cattle in order to obtain something that the population of only a few countries can even consume past infancy, of which the original need was borne of desperation. But you like it, so you do you, and to hell with everyone else, human or otherwise.

I can afford Bud if I want it, but you can’t put a price on a lifetime ban from the ranch

Only a rather small group of people were even able to consume milk past infancy without negative health effects, and that’s mostly because they were the ones that survived the famine that necessitated surviving such a diet. Lactase persistence is a recessive gene

People lived into their thirties for thousands of years, though

I don’t have much money right now to donate to help fund my favorite content creators, though I absolutely would, but I do have a lot of technical knowledge and I could donate compute time, disk storage space, and/or bandwidth to host redundant copies of data for a given web service (akin to seeding Torrents, or ZeroNet zites)
