@lithiumreflections I love the art. Serious question (perhaps im just oblivious). What exactly makes these designs pro-lgbt? They look lovely but im not sure im connecting the dots.
@Oblivia someone else did too. Weird still an issue for me.
@mngrif Yea a lot of asian, german, and dutch speaking people around it seems. Luckily i know a tiny bit of german and as I learn dutch i can figure out even more of it.
Just some info
Who I follow in the fediverse is **not** a reflection of who's ideas I agree with. I generally follow people who make educated, rational, statements and can engage people with a difference of opinion maturely.
Most of the people I follow are people who think very differently than me and I enjoy the mutually respectful discussions that ensue.
@chris I never said they werent worthy, only that the term wasnt applicable. There is a big difference in those two.
Im sitting here making like a months worth of meatballs in one go (to freeze them). Its like three full rounds in my largest frying pot stuffed with meatballs.
Between chopping up all the veggies, and needing the meat and eggs and everything (it was a giant chunk of meat, several KG) and now frying it I'm pooped. I'm starting to think cooking all those home made meals is why my grandmother died as early as she did. god knows me always taking seconds probably didnt help :)
@chris Well i never called anyone garbage, half or otherwise :)
@chris Some probably did. But I am of the beleif that those who do probably never had the right coping mechanisms to begin with, rather than being the fault of simply doing the drug. Addiction is bad but a healthy individual (mentally) should be capable of overcoming it. Sadly few people are mentally healthy so there is a lot of addiction.
@chris How so? What about this statement is even remotely assholish? I think if anything it is kind to imply that most drug addicts probably had a shitty dysfunctional life that never abilitated them well to deal with life as an adult. I think its far kinder than saying "nah you just do drugs because your weak" or some truly asshole shit
@mngrif Hahaha yea i pulled that too. They dont like to have to explain themselves, only nazis ask for explanations :)
So I live by the water, as do many in the Netherlands. Recently a duck family I often see int he near by water started coming and saying hi almost every day. They eat the apples that fall off the trees in my yard. But they have gotten used to me as i sometimes through them some fruit left overs like pears too which they like the variety. So now they started coming by the door and saying hello to me when they see me.
It is kinda adorable the mom showing up with the little baby ducklings all in tow every day.
@snder its just speculation but yea. It is a problem i faced before with other servers
