Elementary school teacher here. 95% of “he hit me” tattles are followed up with, “Only because he hit me first!”

Based on what we learned in the very short window when Twitter let people see location information about specific accounts, I think we can trace a lot of Trump’s “grassroots” support back to Russia.

Bernadette Banner does historical (largely Victorian) sewing techniques and patterns but sometimes branches out into health and beauty recipes as well.

Abby Cox does historical fashion on a broader scale and sometimes has content about other historical trends or myths that she encounters in her research.

Townsends has really interesting content, but I find one of the hosts to be a bit rambly.

I like the way Legal Eagle has branched out and invited other attorneys to help keep tabs on … gestures broadly.

Yes! Both are interesting and well researched.

Apparently not.

I had some friends in undergrad who tried several of the recipes, and they said it was a huge waste of time. (These guys were honors students in science majors, so I wouldn’t chalk it up to user error in all cases.)

The article indicates that there’s a monthly fee for the “service.” So it’s not a passive income situation.

Oh, yeah, I had to learn how to block communities pretty quickly when I arrived. It’s been so long that I had almost forgotten about that process.

My experience with Tumblr was largely the same. My list of filtered tags there is rather long.

Lemmy currently feels a lot like reddit used to in the beginning, when posts came from real people who just wanted to share ideas about things they cared about. I’d rather keep it as is than see it grow into the bloated bot farm of garbage and advertising that reddit has become.

Are you my mom?

If you’re not acting on behalf of a government or its military, I think it’s usually considered terrorism instead of a war crime.

The bar thing just sounds like they don’t clean their taps very well.

So much this. I live in a country with a sugar tax, so almost every soft drink on the market has part of its sugar replaced with some kind of sweetener. I didn’t drink a lot of soft drinks before, but now I can’t drink them at all.

Jericho was fantastic. Thanks for reminding me of that.

Don’t forget hate-watching the late-night shows.

You can tell when he learns a new word because he’s like a first-grader and wants to tell everyone the “new” thing he just found out about.

Groceries, affordability, magnets … The list of basic concepts he’s learning at 79 is kind of shocking.

Also, forensic lab results come back in less than two months (which appeared to be the national average a couple of years ago).

Well, yes, but he’s supposed to look like a toad.

Same for me!
