Having not read this (yet! It’s planned) what is the word and how is supposed to be pronounced?
It is insane how much that dude looks like my brother. He even has the exact same shirt and shoes. Like I genuinely thought some random picture of him had been put online. When I texted him about it he had to text his best friend to find out if the chick in the picture was maybe one of the friends old girlfriends or something he’d forgotten about. Even my brother thought it was a picture of him. Lol
100% agree. Fucking hate tiktok. Even beyond the data they collect and shit, how skeezy they are about watching the videos makes them so shitty.
That said, open it in a browser and then set to desktop site it you’re on mobile. It allows it to play without the popups. Mobile browser tiktok feels like a late 90s porn site with the popups
That’s 100% my brother. The weirdest part, it looks so much like him I had to text him and ask if the chick in the background is an old girlfriend, because I’m genuinely not sure that’s not my brother.
My experience is very anecdotal, but a friend of mine who is nonbinary and Mexican American uses and prefers e endings. So novie instead of novia/novio, amige instead of Amiga/amigo, et cetera. Pronounced Ay, like “no-vee-ay” instead of “no-vee-ah/oh”
I have adopted that generally when it’s come up, but for the most part of I just stress over my sentence structure to avoid gendered terms at all costs. Like when it took my several tries to avoid the terms Latina/Latino/Latine in the first sentence of this comment.

Dharma Curious (he/him)@slrpnk.netto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Tried naming the states from memory as a European7·8 hours agoAs a lifelong southerner, I can attest to a veritable cornucopia of racists. There are:
Swamp racists, marsh racists, bayou racists (all are different), mountain racists, valley racists, low country racists, beach racists, ocean racists (totally different species, unrelated, with overlapping territory), woods racists, forest racists, and countless other unknown and tiny micro communities of different racists.
If you could figure out what your pattern was, and were the total body tattoo type, it would be cool as fuck to get a full body tattoo of your individual invisible (now visible, I guess) uniquely you skin pattern!

If the clerks get below a certain average rating they get penalized (or at least they don’t get certain benefits or some shit, from my understanding). I don’t know if they count purchases that don’t rate at all, but I know some people rate 1 each time because fuck Walmart, but that ends up hurting the cashier, not the store.
About to go through there tomorrow. Is it as bad as I’ve heard? Only flown twice before (to Mexico and back from Tennessee), went through Knoxville and Atlanta on the way in, then Detroit and Knoxville on the way back.

I’m not a vegan; I’m not a vegetarian. I’m far too broke and dependent on other people to be so picky as to choose what I get to eat. My dogs are also not on a vegetarian diet, neither is the cat.
I am not making an argument for or against veganism, and especially not for or against a vegan diet for pets. I was explaining what the difference was between a carnivore and an obligate carnivore is. I’m also not the originator of this thread, in case you missed that, too.
Normally I’d try to be nicer and more respectful, so as not to further inflame a situation, but honestly, the transphobic dig at “people like me” screams of someone who isn’t worth my time or respect. Be better. You can get your point across without needing to disrespect trans people and indigenous people. 'sfucked up
I missed the colon in that book title at first and was very confused about a book for their mother entitled “on looking eleven…”
Dharma Curious (he/him)@slrpnk.netto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Denmark zoo asks public to donate unwanted small pets or horses to feed captive predatorsEnglish77·8 days agoThat’s not really the argument, though. Cats are obviously, objectively, and indisputably carnivores. The question is whether they are obligate carnivores. If they can live healthily without detriment on a plant based diet, then they are not obligate carnivores. If they cannot survive healthily on a plant based diet then they literally require meat to live, in which case they are an obligate carnivore.
The moral, ethical, and health discussion around feeding cats (both house- and big-) a plant based diet is beyond my scope, but arguing whether the cat is going to go for the tuna or the spinach isn’t the point. They’ll clearly go for the tuna. The question is whether they need that tuna to survive, or if they could live (healthy and happily) without it, if they could get their nutrients from, and be effectively tricked by, a plant based substitute.
Did Randy Newman answer your question personally?
After Hank freaks and runs out, when he comes back to apologize there could be a wise, aged drag queen that explains the origins of gay rodeo! “I was there, in 73. The Yankees had Christopher Street day, and we thought ‘well why the hell can’t we have rodeo?’”
How do I submit this to the writing team behind the reboot? It would be seriously good.
The end could have the guys in the alley all snickering and calling him Backdoor Buckaroo, and Hank being super embarrassing but like “it was still the best goshdarn vacation I ever had”
'tis truth, friend. And it’s absolutely fucking adorable. YouTube “popcorning guinea pigs” or rats or whatever, it’s so fucking cute.
Exactly what I thought!
