2nd grade, the meanest teacher I ever had got mad at me for using a colorful pen to write on my classwork. In front of the class, she told me to “never bring that pen back to school.” This was a new pen that I had just bought - the kind with multiple colors inside and I wanted it for my babysitter’s after school so I could use it on the Spirograph - so I said, “Can’t I just keep it in my backpack? I go to my babysitter’s…” and that’s where she cut me off and proceeded to yell at me in front of the whole class and made me sit out for recess for “talking back”. Since I had “lunch detention”, I had to eat last, but I had never been in big trouble before and I cried the whole recess and, by the time my lunch came I couldn’t eat from crying so they called my mom to talk me into eating.

Sad to hear this. I liked the people I’ve met from lemm.ee and the hands-off approach to defederation that the instance had.

They are the only instance I know of with an active mutual aid comm.

It seems like bullshit that they won’t even assess the couple for fitness to adopt the baby. Sure they forged paperwork, but unless they did something else, I don’t see how that disqualifies them.

This isn’t really how 14 year olds text, right?

I would assume it means neurotypical in general.

I use the Aceto Balsamico de Moderna from Trader Joe’s to make salad dressing and it’s amazing.

Other than that, I’m not a huge vinegar fan.

HOW THIS GAME

WORMS.

I did not know these things, but makes sense…

I made this one. Thanks for the compliment! 😅

Edit: btw proudly made in GIMP!!

In Germany it’s even worse. There it depends on the state you obtained your US license in, since Germany has agreements with some states but not all…

Wow, I did not expect that. Is it more with or without agreements?

Everyone hoping to get accidentally added to a government group chat.

Allamaraine, then follow me!

So your username says “I was not; I do not mind.”?

4 - Started with Kbin and .world. Left my Kbin one behind because Lemmy appealed to me more. Left my .world account when they blocked piracy websites and opened a the account on my current instance (Midwest.social). I also opened a Hexbear account a while ago to join their watch parties.

Getting new glasses. Mine have been fucked for a while, but soon I should be able to actually see again!

Like I said, taking capitalism to the extreme.

I’ve seen tons of videos of people who actually free range their chickens, actually outside, and they’ve had no avian flu problems with their chickens. 🤔

In other words - taking capitalism to the extreme to cut costs.

“What if we just pay chicken farmers for their eggs and sell them?”

“But it will be much more cost effective if we cram these million chickens into a warehouse and drive the small guys out of business!”
