You rock! Thank you!

It works for me on Whatsapp, but not on Eternity, the app I use for Lemmy. Wonder why. Thank you for answering though! I’m old enough that I rarely actually use emoji, and just go with emoticons, but this is cool to know!

I will completely forget to come back and check this, but if you get an answer, would you mind hollering at me and letting me know?

Thanks. She was my whole world. Like… Crazy close, best friend. It’s been rough. I appreciate the sentiment.

That’s not far off for some of us. That’s about 25 bucks a month, and until about 2 years ago I was making just enough to have about 30 bucks left over at the end of the month that I didn’t spend on bills or food. Then I did fairly well for about 2 years, with about 200 bucks a month left over… Then my mom passed away 2 months ago, and since my job was being her caregiver, I’m now jobless. :/ life sucks

“Elon has too much government information to go to Russia!”

Y’all, please, listen, Russia already has our government information. The important thing to note here is that whether Elon runs off to Moscow or not, Russia making the offer may well drive a wedge between Russia and Trump. That, in and of itself, is good news. Trump has very few political allies at this point, with most of the world turning against him and trusting the US less. If he is even further alienated, there’s a decent chance his party loses reelection or refuses to go along with his insane 3rd term plans. It’ll take us a long time to rebuild international goodwill, but alienating Trump is a good thing.

Happy to proven wrong is there’s an aspect I’m not considering here, but in my mind when the fascist fight each other it’s good for the rest of us. Makes them easier to tackle, especially if the nonfash (and specifically the left) can unify.

This is what I keep trying to tell my brother. He’s anti-AI, but to the point where he sees absolutely no value in it at all. Can’t really blame him considering stories like this. But they are incredibly useful for brainstorming, and recently I’ve found chat gpt to be really good at helping me learn Spanish, because it’s conversational. I can have conversations with it in Spanish where I don’t feel embarrassed or weird about making mistakes, and it corrects me when I’m wrong. They have uses. Just not the uses people seem to think they have

I thought so! When I saw this my first thought was “wait, isn’t that the one I used to use several years ago?”

Yeah, it is. Ended up not being compatible on a new phone is why I switched, I think…forgot about it after.

Yeah, they 3d scanned my feets. The new insurance pays some, just not sure how much. 200 is the out of pocket.

Dammit, now I gotta start looking for shoulder blade porn, cause that is sexy…

Up until a few ago I was getting my inserts from a local place, you put them in hot water and then stand on them for a couple minutes until they cool and harden.

Then I got insurance that covered them. The difference it makes is insane. I lost that insurance 2 years ago, and I’ve been alternating the 3 pair trying to get them to last as long as possible. At this point there’s not much left of them, but they’re all I’ve got. It’s 200 bucks for my next set (3 pair), and I’m gonna have to figure that out soon.

I see a lot of jokes about knee fetish in this thread. I dated a dude with a knee kink. It was disconcerting at first, but being the enlightened, nonjudgmental being I am, I went with it. Wasn’t my thing at all, but honestly, the best word to describe it was inoffensive. He mostly just wanted to rub them, and occasionally get kneed in bed. Very meh experience.

You’re normal, you’re just not usual. Also foot fetish is, like, the most standard fetish at this point.

Plus which, feet can be sexy as hell.

I’m both of these people. I like foots. But also, I have terrible foot pain due to high arches, and have had mostly jobs where I’m on my feet for hours. I will talk insoles and inserts whenever possible, as a way of helping people with foot pain. What I do not do is have any interest in talking foot stuff as a kink/fetish. Kink and fetish are reserved for consensual bedroom (or camping) times. There’s no connection between the foot pain convos and the foot kink whenever that happens. People who try to stealth their way into nonconsensually getting people to play into their kink are creepy, and not good people.

Our family’s was “freckle past a hair and time to get a watch”

I love the idea of an officiant with total free reign. “You may now kiss… The grooms mother on the cheek. … Just playing, y’all. They gonna dance. Dance, boys!”

Good use for it! My best friend is a former Baptist preacher who still occasionally preaches at different churches, and he likes to use it whenever that comes up.

Mind if I ask if it was a religious ceremony?

Question. I am a computer dumb. Is this scary for me? Lol.

Came here looking for someone to have quoted this. I quote it to bigots all the time and it straight pisses them off.

Sweet! Thanks for the reco!
