Droggelbecher@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•How often do you take him for a walk?7·1 day agoI’m not saying more kids die in traffic over there. I’m saying people have to be, and are, way more careful to keep their kids away from traffic.
Droggelbecher@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•How often do you take him for a walk?30·2 days agoThat, and streets are deadly hellscapes over there a lot of the time. Driving laws are barely enforced and infrastructure is almost like it’s intended to kill anyone who dares to exist outside a car.
OP provided a source, so it’s real, but don’t forget that Photoshop is still a thing as well
Hey now, some of us are both
Droggelbecher@lemmy.worldto The Democratic People's Republic of Tankiejerk@lemmy.world•Perfect is the enemy of better3·3 days agoI mourn every single person of colour’s, queer person’s, disabled person’s, and otherwise marginalized person’s life the non voters chose to sacrifice for their lofty ideal of revolution, or whatever else their reasoning was.
Droggelbecher@lemmy.worldto FoodPorn@lemmy.world•My low-carb lunch - paneer and lettuceEnglish4·7 days agoOooh nice! Acids have been a life saver for me in my salt-reducing journey.
Droggelbecher@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Who is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and why is she in my toothpaste? 😡🤬😡5·7 days agoIt isn’t. Soap is the salt of a fatty acid, sodium lauryl sulfate is a salt, but not of a fatty acid. Both are surfactants (meaning it breaks surface tensions), but have some different properties. A relevant difference in cosmetics is that SLS strips oils waaay better, which can damage your skin barrier and your hair. For some people it works fine, for others it’s too harsh and soap is better. (For me it damages my hair structure and thus makes my waves lackluster, but is fine in shower gel)
Droggelbecher@lemmy.worldto FoodPorn@lemmy.world•My low-carb lunch - paneer and lettuceEnglish5·7 days agoEven just some lime juice, black pepper, maybe olive oil would probably be great! I might try that with tofu.
Droggelbecher@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever been rejected just because of your height?5·7 days agoAlso 172/5’8 and same, several times! Even from me who were still taller than me! Also dated someone who didn’t care and was 175/5’9 and when we went out together and my shoes made me taller than him, we’d get an average of like 10 comments, all from men, about it. Lots of friends have told me their only slightly taller ex bf wouldn’t ‘let’ them wear heels.
Also, on a dating app, I’d get about 50/50 matches from masc and fem people when I didn’t list my height. When I did list it, I’d get mostly fem ones, and all the masc ones were tall. And fewer matches overall.
I’d settle for ONE week where I don’t have uni or work, or prep work for either (half my job is prep from home), zero medical appointments (I average 2-3 rn), zero chores and errands (cooking would be fine), and zero messages to answer. AND none of those to catch up on after. Can’t fathom how much that would heal me.
Im 27, very first birth year for gen z. And I’m a teacher and this is a multiple times a day occurrence. Also, them laughing at my slang terms that I don’t even realise are slang as I’m using them. And the scary bit is, some of them are 18-20, so still firmly gen z too.
Some older people have somewhat similar smartphone behavior as teenagers. Those of us born in the ~80s/90s kinda grew up along with technology. A lot of older people adopted it when they were already adults, so they didn’t slowly grow used to it the way we did. And younger people started using tech when it was already this super intransparent easy to use thing that it is now. So those groups behave somewhat similarly around it: mobile games, a lot of social media use, and, for some reason, also heavy emoji use. I guess it might be because it’s new and cool to them and they never used :-) etc?
Mind you, this is far from universal. Just a bit of a pattern I’m noticing. Also, I don’t really view you, a gen x person, as older, so idk.
Droggelbecher@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Tanning salons don't want you to know this one trickEnglish2·11 days agoIf it actually is about the same I 100% recommend frozen over canned. Same applications (stews etc) because they’re also mushy when thawed, but they’re fresher, so they aren’t as gray and sad, aren’t as salty, have more of a taste and more vitamins survive. Only cans I buy are legumes and tomatoes.
Droggelbecher@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Tanning salons don't want you to know this one trickEnglish7·11 days agoIs frozen more expensive where you live? Here it isn’t. And more nutritious and noticably more fresh.
Droggelbecher@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•You're Just Gonna Leave Me Hangin' ?25·17 days agoMike Pence was marked for assassination on Jan 6. Searx ‘Pence assassination attempt’ to see if you find sources you personally find credible. I find it reasonably believable.

Droggelbecher@lemmy.worldto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•As someone forced to ride my bike right next to thundering trucks and cars on the roads every day, I can't begin to enumerate how many close calls I've had because there are no bike lanes here.English3·18 days agoOh yeah when I’m biking it doesn’t matter at all. I’ve just been run into a few times walking on them. It also sick that like every 5th person rides by so close you have to stop in your tracks so they don’t crash into yiu. But to be fair, it happens on sidewalks too.

Ugh this isn’t entirely related, but as someone who walks a lot, I hate these. If you’re already building infrastructure, why not separate it.
This really isn’t how science works at all. Results that aren’t reproducible and can’t be retested under varying conditions are almost completely meaningless. And no way to find out if it’s (justly or not doesn’t even matter) decided that you can’t do that kind of experiment shortly after your single one experiment is over.
