Yeah, I only had a handful of CDs because they were too expensive! I jumped on the napster train and got a CD burner as soon as I could.

Oppressed minorities are not required to be on their very best behavior in order to avoid being oppressed further. 🙄
The guy could be a serial killer and the dad would still be wrong for saying that.

She gave birth in a jail shower23·2 years agoYou have to be brain dead to think there’s democracy in the US. Gerrymandering, voter suppression, two senators per state, the electoral college… Wake up.

The standard price where I grew up was $13. Feels like a steal these days.
Don’t worry, plenty of Trekkies don’t know/care about what’s popular either. That’s why we’re still making memes about a sixty year old series 🥲

If Palestine stops fighting, Israel continues the violence until they are eliminated. If Israel stops, then Palestine doesn’t have to fight back. It’s really very simple.

enthusiasticamoeba@lemmy.mlto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My dog is on an antibiotic for Lyme disease and he will not sleep at night because his stomach is upsetEnglish4315·2 years agoWhat does the vet say?? There are no other antibiotics or painkillers available?
Jesus just go hold and comfort your damn dog. Go sleep on the floor with him. You should hope that if you are ever in a situation where you’re in too much pain to sleep, literally screaming, and desperate for comfort from the one person your life depends on, that they don’t treat you like such a burden.
Your dog is only a part of your life, but you are your dog’s WHOLE life. You’re enduring a lack of sleep, but your dog is suffering and does not understand why the person he loves so much won’t help him feel better.
Instead you’re locking him in a cage and trying to drown out his cries. Be better.

enthusiasticamoeba@lemmy.mlto Autism@lemmy.world•How to deal with demands other than by isolating?English4·2 years agoUgh, stop commenting here, you’ve already shown you have no idea how to help autistic people and you’re running your mouth about shit you don’t understand.
Don’t come at me with this bullshit about you working in disability care, either. The world is full of shit disability workers; it’s not the flex you think it is.
You’re not even part of this community, you just stumbled across it. Kindly fuck off.
enthusiasticamoeba@lemmy.mlto Knitting@lemmy.world•Is a boat neck sweater a suitable first project if you've only ever knitted scarves before?English5·2 years agoThe style of the garment is not as important as the quality of the pattern, but that can be hard to ascertain (even with lots of experience) until you knit it!
A simple sweater is likely to involve just a few extra stitch types like increases and decreases, and some new techniques, like knitting in the round, picking up stitches, or neck shaping. All of these are quite simple in principle, and should be reasonably easy to get the hang of.
How these steps are described is a whole other story! I recently helped a friend with a very simple vest, but it was honestly one of the most confusing patterns I’ve ever read. And I’ve knit hundreds of things over 20 years!
So my advice is:
-
Stick with patterns with good reviews, written by a quality pattern maker, or at least is very popular (more chance any kinks have been worked out)
-
Read through the whole pattern before you begin and see if it makes sense.
-
Ask an experienced knitter if you get stuck! There’s a good chance the problem isn’t your skills but the pattern itself.
What’s the pattern? I’d be happy to take a look and give my two cents.

enthusiasticamoeba@lemmy.mlto Autism@lemmy.world•[Poll] How many of the people here have aphantasia?English5·2 years agoThe no inner monologue thing threw me for a loop too. No wonder they all manage to get shit done. I’ve always had at least two layers of narration plus music.
I don’t have aphantasia, but I can’t imagine faces very well. I am extremely face blind, though.
I was told to bring a bunch of odd items such as strings coins and dice
What information are they looking for here?? I’d be so stressed wondering if my random collected junk collection was autistic enough. Do I bring my weird shit or just the “normal” trinkets? Should I just bring my favorites? How should I organize them? How many is too many?? Help I need to know why so I can make sure I do it right 😭
ADD used to be a separate diagnosis, but now they classify both as subtypes of ADHD: Primarily Hyperactive or Primarily Inattentive. I’m ADHD-PI and can’t relate to stereotypical hyperactivity at all.
Dutch has a lot of good ones!
Hippo: Nile Horse (nijlpaard)
Leopard: Lazy Horse (luipaard)
Sea urchin: Sea Hedgehog (zee egel)
Seal: Sea Dog (zeehond)
Skunk: Stink Animal (stinkdier)
Turtle: Shield Toad (Schildpad)
Slug: Naked Snail (Naaktslak)
Porcupine: Spiky Pig (Stekelvarken)
Edit: formatting
It’s Dutch uwu speak, but the real version would not be much better: “Oeps! De trein is stuk. Wij zijn heel hard aan het werk om dit te maken. Misschien kan je beter fietsen.”
(Oops! The train is broken. We’re working very hard to repair it. Maybe you’d be better off biking.)
