Wow, what kind of person would go on the Internet and just pretend to be somebody else online? People these days have no shame anymore.

🥺

Two of the most critical supplies that most people don't think about prepping is salt and white sugar, because they are useful for many things and they never go bad.

On sugar specifically, it's extremely useful because 1. It is a dense calorie source that will last forever and 2. you can use it to disinfect wounds in a pitch.

But of course, bunkering down is kinda dumb to begin with for an apocalyptic scenarios, because then you become sitting ducks.

Using the correct pronouns is an issue of respecting others, and seeing Rowling doubling down on her smug and bigoted views in public is a revelation, because during a re-read, you start seeing these views reflecting everywhere in her writing. It's a deeply prejudiced and irrational world, and it stayed that way all the way to the ending with nothing in that world really changed.

I think being an adult is realizing that I don't love Harry Potter as much as I used to, because (I can't believe I'm saying this) I've finally outgrown it. It's time to move on.

Being a grown-up is painful.

From one Australian woman to another, she should have used that energy and tried acting instead.

Everybody plays a character of the person they want to present to the world on social media, so there needs to be more awareness that even if you can see their faces and hear their voices, you still can't blindly trust people to be who they claimed to be online, and you should always exercise a healthy dose of skepticism on what you read or watched.

Trust me, after all, why would Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie ever lie to you?

Make valuable original content here that's not found elsewhere, post and comment thoughtfully as much as possible(No. Pun. Chains). Don't try to turn this place into reddit, be better than reddit.

People who are on reddit that wanted to come here right now has already done so, so it's important to drew in people who has never used reddit before here instead of always waiting for reddit to do something stupid.

Also less celeb gossip please, need a place where I can get away from that on the Internet.

We all thought @MrBusinessMan@lemm.ee is obviously a parody account that is too cartoonishly evil to be believable, but then we find out that this guy exists.

Truth is often stranger than fiction.

At least they are not doing the Twitter/X thing where they impersonate celebrities to push crypto... yet.

Lemmy Silver is the only fake Internet money I endorse.

If they actually cared about the economy, then give the actors and writers what they want and the strike ends, and we can all get a move-on with things.

That's the point of the strike, and the solution is right there in front of the studios.

Well, charger cables are usually at USB 2.0 speed because USB-PD works the same, but signal integrity doesn't matter as much, so you can make a longer, more flexible cable without using in-cable shielding...

So this is misleading, since the included cable coming in 2.0 speed (missing pins) absolutely does not mean that the iPhone USB-C port will only support 2.0.

Linus was so nice back then...
