Again, the target audience loves that shit. I don’t know if you’ve watched a game lately, but most of the advertisements now are split pretty evenly between:

1. Jesus gets us ads
2. Military propaganda ads
3. Big truck ads
4. Fast food ads

The NFL is a money-making machine, and it knows its audience. If they’re doing this, they know their base will eat it up, and I 100% agree. Many people who haven’t tuned in to a game in years will tune in to watch just to show support.

Truly, this is how fucked we are.

Unfortunately not. Their fans love this shit, seriously. Remember they’re the same fans who went feral during the kneeling demonstrations.

A buttsle

Okay, but maybe specify that next time. The masses won’t buy used stuff unless prompted, and a blanket statement of ‘it’s okay to like Harry Potter’ without any nuance attached is just gonna give people permission to feel comfortable buying merch, games, Lego, other branded shit which goes directly to her pocket book.

But it isn’t when it comes to Harry Potter. The reason I made the comparison is that JK Rowling is also a billionaire using her wealth to influence legislation against trans people. They are more similar than they are different. Buying Harry Potter stuff puts money directly into her pockets to further her TERF goals.

Michael Jackson is a bit more gray.

So it’s okay to still like and want to buy a Tesla?

There’s something so punk about knitting/crocheting your own goth accessories, I love it.

This is beautiful. Did you knit it and then embroider it? And is that satin ribbon insertion I’m seeing?? This is some amazing work!!

Thank you for showing me this community!! I’ll definitely cross post it there and see about the knitting community, too. Love Lemmy, wanna help it grow as much as possible

I know peplum tops are divisive but I’ve always liked them… Maybe not this exact one because of the jewel-toned purple, but still. I feel like they work for me and my body type (I can’t be the only one??) but second guess wearing them because the people who don’t like them have STRONG opinions usually 😭

As for this outfit in particular, I think the only thing holding it back for me are the shades of purple and black clashing a bit. If the purple were a bit more plum, and/or the black a bit more gray, I think it would work better. I also think the seam at the waist should be brought up a bit, it seems a bit low and throws off the balance of the top, imo.

These are minor quibbles though and if I saw someone wearing this I wouldn’t pass any judgment, it’s just not my taste personally

This reads like a text I would have received on a Motorola Razr back in the day 😭

Weirdly appropriate username lol

Just one spherical poo? Lucky

Hey all, anyone who cares about/is interested in knowing more about the crime committed by the rapist Brock Allen Turner should read Know My Name, written by the woman who was actually assaulted, Chanel Miller.

I highly recommend listening to the audio book, as she reads it herself and has a powerful voice.

We’re taking about their major sources, not where they’re now consequently found

Tires are there biggest ones, yeah, but number two is shedding from synthetic clothing creation and laundering

Current advice is actually to not rinse after brushing, as you’re meant to let the fluoride of the toothpaste sit against your teeth for thirty minutes.

Unfortunately, I would recommend not losing sleep over either source of microplastics (chewing gum or toothbrushes), until tires and synthetic clothing are done away with by society. Those are much MUCH bigger, inescapable sources of microplastics

The amount of free time you’d have to have, as well, to even consider baking the powder for an hour per round to make it usable… After a certain point my time is valuable to me and I’d rather just pay a dollar or two extra to not have to worry about all this mess.

Please don’t do this. It seems like a hack, but will mess up your machine bc of how corrosive the vinegar is. Learned this the hard way.

If your clothes really need it, just soak them in a bath of diluted vinegar for a while, then rinse and wash.

Which is hilarious, because all of their fashion choices in this picture are pretty tacky grandma fashion choices. Merriam Webster puts it perfectly:

"Marked by a cheap showiness: GAUDY.

Marked by a lack of style: DOWDY."

The loud clashing patterns, unflattering large hairstyles, and huge statement costume jewelry are basically that to a T.
