I was the oldest looking and tallest, so offy duty was mine.

I came out with a bright red and yellow bag with THRESHERS emblazoned across it, bulging with bottles of hooch.

Got on the bus, pointed right at it and said "believe it or not, I'm 15 years old. Single child fare please"

Driver laughed his arse off and did indeed let me on for ten pence or whatever it was at the time.

Dark. The German time travel one.

I ate it too, but because my brain automatically added "AI generated". That is horrifyingly plausible.

I was once told, your gut reaction and first impulse is your upbringing and conditioning. It's your reasoned, critical response that makes you who you are.

I have had similar questions about myself recently and this advice helped me to analyse my thinking without getting caught up in guilt.

I honestly thought it was The Onion at first glance

I'm trans and I learned a lot myself from this. I might have brought up the 41% thing and not knowing its use, miscommunicated what I meant in support of trans rights. Glad to have read this, being trans doesn't automatically make you aware of every aspect of the conversations.

Thank you. I was scrolling on the center right of my screen, being right handed. Scrolling on the left works as you say.

It also shows the full link of the communities and I see now I've blocked xyz@lemmy.world and xyz@lemmy.somethingelse. Unlike when I block them from my feed where it only shows xyz. So it is working fine I just wasn't aware there could be multiple xyz's @ different instances.

Thanks again

My company had a client who did those financed schemes where people buy furniture and TVs and stuff and pay in installments. The one bit of information that stuck with me was they expected 50% of customers to default. They went under.

I was about to say how can you run a business like that but it just clicked. The execs were running a scheme on the company itself. The company tricks financially illiterate customers (I sympathise, not denigrating) into debt and bankruptcy, ruining their lives, while the owners pay themselves handsomely and buy cars and mansions running the company into bankruptcy. But they walk away with all their toys paid for by the broken finances of their victims.

Fucking parasites.

I can say from experience being mixed white and Japanese I'll always be a second class citizen there.

Can't speak for Russia but I knew a woman who once said she envied her mother because she was "pure", pale skin and blonde hair, while she had dark hair and more eastern (Mongolian heritage?) features. That was really painful to hear someone say about themselves and if it's the prevalent attitude I wouldn't assume I'm welcome just by a blood connection.
