"Don't step on my corn." ?

Edit: I'm mixing it up. Gosh darn it.

It's being weird for me. Let me just edit:

The Xeelee Sequence, don't get it confused with All Tomorrows.

Edit: woops, wrong book. What book was it?

Like a certain alien species from The Xeelee Sequence?

Edit: woops wrong series. Does anyone know another series with an advanced alien civilization that sends themselves back in time to give birth to themselves? It's right before the heat death of the universe due to another alien species that lives in stars.

They stopped paying out for that after Sleepify in 2014.

What the fuck is he not going to say at this point. His mouth is a spewing fountain of fake-poor scented diarrhea. Populist my ass.

He's made so many incoherent open threats, he now sounds like someone who's drunk who's about to lose a fight.

They're definitely waning, I agree. They're still around, though. I still go there every once in a while for cheap, body safe jewelry and band t-shirts.

Hot Topic and Spencer's are both still running. Also, there's Dolls Kill in LAX.

Also, get a seasonal job as a scare actor. I helped run a haunt, and goth girls were honestly our backbone.

Makes me want to re-watch Isle of Dogs

I'm down, but it would require reintegration into the shit stain that is organized religion. This is also coming from an ex minister. Once you're behind that pulpit, your words are law. Getting into that place where a large congregation would actually listen to you would most likely require some moral compromises.

Are you queer? You are irrelevant.

Are you not white? You are irrelevant.

Are you sexualy active? You are irrelevant.

Are you pregnant? You are irrelevant.

Are you compassionate? You are irrelevant.

Your job is to interpret the Bible in a way that people enjoy. You reinforce their ideals. I have no idea how to pull everyone I knew into a 180°.

How do you propose we change these brainwashed peoples' minds? If you have legitimate theory, I'm listening. All I can think of is showing up to church and talking to people, but it SUCKS there.

One example:

"ABORTION IS MURDER"

"It can't think yet"

"IT HAS A SOUL"

How do I respond to that? What can I possibly tell a person that's that nieve that they're being sexist?

I witnessed people use their time to speak against the church while they were on stage. They get pulled off and disappeared (not killed, blacklisted). A lot of the people there are dependent on the church, so they can't speak up. So even if you have the stage, you maybe have 5 minutes. Change the world. Go for it. This is coming from the experience of an ex minister at the Salvation Army.

 

The other day, I made a post about Firefox's web extensions, specifically for YouTube. A lot of people pointed out Mozilla's recent TOS update, which pertains to selling personal data. I noticed there were no suggestions, though. What alternative would you suggest, Lemmy?

It can be a bit buggy at times, but when it comes to just playing music with the screen locked, it's perfect.

Edit: I forgot to also mention that ad blocker extensions make sailing the seas on mobile much more manageable. Extentions, in general, have been a really nice addition.

 
 

I'm a farmer in San Diego County. In fallbrook/ temecula, there's a truck weigh station that's full of ICE operatives near me. Today, they blocked off the entrance to the only road that leads to a bunch of farms, including mine. I personally have a family farm, but I know my neighbors and their employees, and they're hard-working everyday people regardless of their immigration status.

To make a long story short, how do I legally fuck with ICE while they do a raid?

Edit: the only thing I can think of is recording and doing a verbal protest. I could try to share the footage with the local news. Given the current political climate, I'm not sure if they'd care. I don't want to see the people I've existed next to dissappear.

It's here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/MbUzWLDT73swafxf7?g_st=ac

If you know someone who works at Moon Farm Nurseries, fucking tell them RIGHT NOW to lay low. They're compromised.

Edit 2: they took everyone. The fields up and down our road are empty. I couldn't even get a picture because I had to drive past like nothing was happening. Fuck.

Edit 3: a couple of truckers pulled up with double wides and blocked the road. I can't tell whoes side their on. Whish me luck.

Edit 4: I think mite have made a checkpoint for me. I think I'll be fine, but I'm not sure. Live update.

Edit 5: I'm fine, one of the people in the double wide got taken too. Fuck this day. I hope everyone is doing okay.

I added wooden planks to my chicken run's door frame, so mice couldn't get through the gap. Today, I closed my pinky between the door/ pole, chicken wire, and a rough board. The family member that came out to help, brought a drill and revved it a few times. I freaked out and used a marshmallow stick to undo the latch. Also, this is a temporary enclosure for a sick bird.

We have a bobcat. I am scared.

 

I'll never forget his contribution to the fallout community, as well as my childhood.

 

Sorry for using YT shorts. That was just the original source.

I've never seen a situation like this before. The UAV looks like an RQ-21, but why is it blowing up over a lake in the US? The poster has shared no editional information but seems legit based on their posting history. Does anyone have any explanations?

 

The title is not click bait. What seems like an ARG turns out to be the posts of a real, living urban legend. Nexpo ft. Nick Crowley. INCLUDES REFERENCES TO PEDOPHILIA.
