I saw a clip of the performance… It was a really bad lip sync. As in he kept pulling the mic away from his head well before the lyrics were over. I’d heard the controversy and was like, I’m sure it wasn’t that obvious he was lip syncing, and was floored when I saw the actual performance.

Especially because they’re trying to emulate the samurai dialect. It’s inaccurate, but deserves points for trying!

“Kitten cuddling” is a euphemism. They are chaos gremlins with needles permanently affixed to their feet.

Still cute tho.

the free and open source office suite trusted by millions of users around the world.

Do I use Libre office? Yes. Do I trust it? Absolutely not (in the sense that I don’t think they’re stealing my data, but wow is the user experience a buggy mess)

No, this is Patrickortland

Literally the first I’m hearing of Tuta.

Are they legit?

I haven’t seen this mentioned yet so:

Do not allow yourself to be persuaded, pressured, or bullied into having kids (including by yourself) until you feel 100% ready and that it’s 100% what you want. The days of “nobody feels ready for kids; just go for it and it’ll all work out” are way over. (This was always survivor bias bullshit advice, but with recent trends re: cost of living, housing availability, job market, etc., this attitude is straight-up reckless.)

When you’re young, even if you think you know what you’re doing, you’ll almost certainly make mistakes; having children makes moving through and moving on from those mistakes a hell of a lot harder. A sad number of folks I know in their 30s are stuck in places they no longer want to live having to regularly interact with people who ruined their lives because of their kids. Even when things go well, kids are a huge drain on your energy, finances, and ability to take advantage of new opportunities.

It might be scary feeling like there are too many options available to you right now, but being forced into a certain life path because you have kids is not a fun way to resolve that.

I propose a border swap: USA gets Alberta, Canada gets Washington State

(Please I beg you get me out of here)

That’s the portion they have shonen protagonists eat to demonstrate their humorously preposterous appetites

Ngl, Chii-tan looks like they’ve got an unlit Molotov cocktail hiding under their hat, and is just looking for a MFer to throw down on

I’m not Canadian, but my understanding is Alberta is basically the Texas of Canada. Maybe even worse, more like the Wyoming or Idaho of Canada.

Gonna toss a real old school reference onto the pile and call 'em Jack Sprat and his wife

Baldur’s Gate 3 vibes

Surprised no one has commented on the juxtaposition with the Alberta license plate yet

I’ve heard that the “u” drop (along with the “l” drop) was a result of telegrams (kinda like you -> u in early texting/Twitter days to save on characters). Regardless it happened before any of our lifetimes so it’s pretty much standardized at this point. I can definitely see where it would be frustrating in the coding world, but it’s not like that can be reasonably regionalized so it’s a situation we’re just stuck with.

I assume you’ve tried shredded/gravy wet foods? In my experience they’re much more popular than the patés. My understanding is your vet is totally correct: it’s really important for cats to get moisture from their food, so it’s worth it to keep trying to find something your cat will eat!

Stealth marketing on Lemmy? Congratulations everyone, we’ve made it!

To be clear, OP knows there’s no “u” in the word in American English and the title is intended as a joke, right?
