Same, but I do have a shoe box of notes (including full notebooks) my bff and I would pass to each other all day back in the late 90s. It’s full conversations with dates and everything (there were more but she had the other half)

It’s a blast reading some of that stuff nearly 30 years later.

Bring two foam weapons with you, give one to opponent, have blast.

I’ve done that a lot with mods.. get the mods I want set up and then realize I don’t actually want to play..

Honestly the logical order. Wouldn’t expect them to be particularly successful.

The only pickles I’ll even consider are bread and butter or sweet and spicy. Which directly translates, in my neck of the woods, to no pickles.

Dill is awful. I don’t like it in anything, ever. And the number of people offended by that is too damned high!

My partner makes some killer fermented pickles without dill, which also aren’t sweet, so that’s also an option (that nobody ever takes 😭)

That tracks.

I’ve been getting Botox for migraines for over a decade and I mentioned to my neurologist how this seems to have impacted my personality. He was unsurprised.

When your face does things without your input, you might find yourself feeling angry or sad or something, and not actually know why. We have some pretty good mirror neurons that make us share physical signals with other people, and we take on their emotional state sometimes as a result.

13-some years ago I started getting Botox for migraines, and my neurologist is…. Thorough. He likes doing a bit extra for cosmetic reasons… not with me; I actively decline cosmetic injections, even when he asks about my lopsided expressions (nah dude, that’s just how I use my face -lopsided- and I genuinely like those use lines; they tell you who I am. I’m not trying to look young forever as my body degrades around me..). I need some of my expressions, like anger and confusion..

But I noticed after my deep forehead wrinkles faded (when I was 25.. so not normal age stuff) that I’m just calmer in general without the full range of expressions. I don’t get flustered the way I used to. It’s like paralyzing my facial muscles dulled my response to things that would normally elicit a strong emotional response.

This is obviously anecdotal, but it really convinces me that emotions are as much about bodily response as actual response.

I feel like if it was easy for him to get rid of the existing ones, he probably would..

Tho he got his kids vaxed and refused to answer if he’d do it again so there’s some chance he’s just being a disingenuous prick and fucking over millions for personal gain.. wouldn’t put that past a single “conservative”

(Wild how in the wider world conservation means protecting things that exist, while American conservatism actively seeks to destroy everything that has existed for decades.. wild…)

I have no idea, I have prosopagnosia (face blindness) so I don’t bother trying to sort out who is in a given photo. Either way if this pic isn’t from around the 80s, super dated style :)

That’s why I go for basic cuts, solid colors, and timeless patterns. Like this dude (cage or otherwise) I refuse to update my wardrobe to keep up with fleeting fashion. I haven’t grown in 20+ years, why do I need new clothes?Unlike this dude I found a way to make that work without being a sore thumb (even when my hair was pink and purple and people could see me from half a mile away, I felt more comfortable than I’d feel in those clothes)

Unfortunately leapord print and patent leather don’t qualify as timeless. They are very dated. Fashion is cyclical, and we haven’t come back to patent leather or leopard print in a solid while (tho with all the leopards eating faces recently I feel like this is the time to bring back leopard print, if ever!) Especially the shiny pants. Even in the 90s those were outdated.

Now I’m imaging him as the sole person (outside of gimp suit users) who wants that wet black look, and paying through the nose to have new pants made.. probably all true, too. Now I’m a bit sad.

In the 80s nobody would have blinked.

It’s a fine outfit, but it’s super dated.

Three things combined: woman, money, female empowerment. Most of the replies probably don’t even follow this comm, they just have to share their lukewarm thought about a woman encouraging female empowerment, by being negative.

Lemmy has a big problem with incel-like behavior/thought patterns. Has since I joined going on 2 years ago. The wave I was part of managed to drive off the majority of female users in under 6 months. Just like Reddit but without the popular-platform-userbase that allows some of that shit to be drowned out.

There’s a very large subset of users who don’t like women and want them to stfu and go away. And we female types see that in this sort of post, which is why the new exodus had to create or resurrect -any- femme-focused comm.

And if we keep this shit up they will be driven off in 6 mths again.

If I was keeping the place I probably would.

I’m selling it tho so I really don’t care. Let them find all the problems the paint is hiding if they want later.
