I used to row (in the UK) and agree. Swans are fucking terrifying and give zero fucks. I accidentally hit one with my oar once. I’ve been marked ever since. 👀

Look, I was forced to learn R (very badly) for my PhD (which I didn’t complete). So technically I’m not a nerd (it’s sadder than that). Yay!!

Disney drop bear. It looks suspiciously clean… do you reckon it still has gonorrhoea or whatever it is they carry?

This article has some interesting info. As of right now they are 2 meters away from being freed.

Love the hat. Is it handmade?

I’m in the extremely vulnerable group so in 2020 I didn’t leave the house for 7 months… until my appendix burst and I spent 10 days in hospital. 7 long long months only to end up in the worst possible place for me! Amazingly I didn’t catch covid then, or since.

I implement the first two and the last rules in all the communities I moderate. Everyone gets either a message or a comment if they break the rules/I remove their comment/I give them a warning. I also reply to the vast majority of mod reports made, explaining what action I’ve taken and why. All my communities have a one-warning-then-you’re-banned rule, but bans are rarely permanent.

I repeatedly state that I’m looking for moderators, that I welcome all constructive feedback and suggestions regarding the way the community is run and what the rules are. I make it clear I want the communities to be a community effort. I’ve never ever vetoed a suggestion someone’s made - I always offer to let the community decide. What happens? People complaining/criticising but never taking me up on the offer to hold a vote on whatever it is they don’t like. It’s like shouting in the wind and it’s exhausting.

His coffin was gold wasn’t it? And incased in concrete too. I would have thought that would delay decomposition somewhat, but I’m not an expert.

No, I forgot the first @. Just a slip up.

I’m messing up left, right and centre today! Thank you for that 😊

Ah! I’m pretty old, definitely not up to date on the latest slang.

They’re swearing to god that what they are saying is true. It’s phrased a bit awkwardly, I think they’ve mixed up “I swear to god” and “hand on heart” or maybe “on my mother’s life”, something like that.

“This is truly, on god, the first “would you rather” that I’ve ever had to devote significant thought to.”

They just don’t like punctuation.

Edit, sorry @ prenupbutter@lemm.ee I meant to reply to you.

When will the media stop with these unrealistic portrayals of the female body?
