Sure, but… is “too much discussion” really a problem that Lemmy has? This is kind of a threatening time for some of us, especially if we don’t have a lot of friends irl.

A lot of thought went into that haircut, friend-o.

[The haircut] is wedgy, greasy, somehow old womany, and that, combined with Bardem’s machismo, makes it unsettling. The actor himself is supposed to have reacted, “Oh no, now I won’t get laid for the next two months,” when he saw it.

Now the man behind the cut has emerged. He is a Canadian hairdresser from New Brunswick called Paul LeBlanc who has previously styled hair on movies such as Star Wars and Casino, and who shared an Oscar with make-up artist Dick Smith for his work on Amadeus.

Le Blanc says that his inspiration was from the crusades, “when knights and Muslims were murdering each other, and this was a typical haircut. It was a dangerous time and we wanted to make Javier timeless and dangerous at first sight.”

“You don’t get better on the days when you feel like going. You get better on the days when you don’t want to go, but you go anyway. If you can overcome the negative energy coming from your tired body or unmotivated mind, you will grow and become better. It won’t be the best workout you have, you won’t accomplish as much as what you usually do when you actually feel good, but that doesn’t matter. Growth is a long term game, and the crappy days are more important.” -Georges St-Pierre, mixed martial artist

• vote early if you can

• contact your local campaign and see if you can help – it’s not too late!

One side of my family was all farmers. I don’t know much about that life, but I believe the youngest girl would be raising those two babies (while cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, etc), and those two boys would be working the field with the mother.

their insides look like a mix of their outsides and their personality.

Good lord… imagine getting a little cut on your finger, and you look at the cut, and you see a face staring out from inside saying “HI THERE I SECRETLY HATE YOUUUUU” while a set of toes and genitals try to seep out of the cut before you bandage it up forever. That’s some cthulhu-level stuff, man.

Pedants: He asked if she minded. She responded saying, “Sure thing,” which is an affirmative response, meaning that she did mind.

So… when you analyze language, you can think of an utterance’s semantics (what it means “at the dictionary level”) and pragmatics (what it means in context.) For example, if you’re having dinner, and someone asks “can you pass the salt?” in terms of semantics it’s a question, but in terms of pragmatics it’s generally a command or request for an action.

Similarly, I’d say Batman’s first utterance in terms of pragmatics is a request for permission, which is granted by Catwoman’s first utterance.

Would be funny if he brought a different cat every week.

So whoever carries that anime figure is literally Luciferian.

Gotta make that cheddar.

I found a couple examples from November 18, 1918. But comics syndication worked different back then, and it might have been a reprint:

Edit: interesting Help Wanted ad on the second link: “U. S. Department of Labor U. S. Employment Service: JOIN THE INDUSTRIAL ARMY Be a patriotic worker, aid the government to build the $50,000,000 plant started at Nitro (near Charleston) , West Virginia. Laborers $4.40 per day. 10 hours’ work 11 hours’ pay. Double time on Sunday. Free railroad fare. Meals free en route. Room rent free and board at commissaries, cafeteria style at about $1.00 per day.

Oh yeah, see !truecomics@midwest.social for more of Everett True’s doings.

I think that expression is saying “wtf are you doing in my house taking my picture?”

Recovery plan: Australian guy with a shotgun.

I didn’t; I made the chart almost a year ago, click on the link above it to see the 11-month-old comment.

Lemmy had around 1000 active users for the first half of 2023.

After looking at it again, the pictures look like they’re in different places. Like, the top one has a James Dean-like poster where she currently has a window. So maybe they’re photos of her Marxist friends, all of whom have the same poster? Or maybe they’re photos of places where she used to live?

The sad thing is, that amazing story would be listed as just “through friends” on the survey.

Q: “Why didn’t you get in touch with that guy you met at the kung fu fight?”

A: “In fact, he was a little bit frightening…”
