She was pretty fucking awesome.

North american here: I love Donald Duck. Lol. My mom used to a spot on Donald Duck voice to entertain us as kids. Told us he jumped out of the TV once and lived in her belly.

Sweet! Always love making new esoterically minded friends. My main is @dharmacurious@slrpnk.net I’ll message you from there

Mhmm, yup. We’re a denomination founded around the “Jesus fish.” During the reign of Henry the 8th there was a lot of controversy, because Catholics didn’t eat meat on Friday, and Henry wanted to murder his wife. But the pope said that wasn’t cool, because Henry wanted to do it on a Friday (so he could take the weekend to recover, y’know?), and the pope said that that fell under the whole no meat on Friday thing, since once someone is dead, they’re more meat-like, and Henry said that he wasn’t going to eat her, but the pope was like “still not cool, bro, do it on a Thursday” and Henry didn’t take kindly to bring called bro by a dude in a dress, so he founded the church of England (then called the Church in England), and he got to murder his wives, but in exchange for not crusading against England for doing this, Henry agreed to the popes compromise that they could murder wives on Friday, so long as they also ate fish.

Well, when the US was founded, we really took that whole fish thing and ran with it. Started putting little Jesus fish bumper stickers on our carriages, branding them on our horses, the whole shebang. By the time the US split from England, though, there were no bishops left that would ordain American clergy, so we went to the Scottish, and they ordained us a few starter bishops to get us through the lean times, but by then there were enough disagreements between us as the CoE that we decided to just go ahead and change the name, and now we exclusively eat fish, and we’re called Episcopalians.

Can we be friends? My best friend is also a former Baptist preacher who’s now a daoist/nondualist. I’m a nondualist who’s interested in daoism, and super interested in gnosticism (and occasionally an Episcopalian, especially on holidays ;) )

Bbc iplayer has an insane amount of stuff, not just bbc original productions.

I would very much so like to know, please

Couldn’t students just generate a paper with ChatGPT, open two windows wide by side and then type it out in a word document?

I flipped my phone, fully expecting to just see nothing at all. It legit does look like a cat. That’s fucking wild

Personally I was only 14-16 for like 5 years at most

2 things:

1: I’ve gotten disco Elysium, and Ive only played a few minutes, but I don’t remember it having rolls like that? How does one know what one is rolling? I played like 20 minutes of it 3 months ago, so maybe I’m misremembering.

2: that’s how my brother DMs. I once critfailed a lock picking so badly that my character broke his finger. My brother laughed his ass off

Can you explain how to do this? I’d make the switch, honestly. Not a super techy person, but I’m willing to learn if it means a Linux phone.

God, I wish. If I could do something like that I’d spend my days volunteering with organizations like food not bombs and local mutual aid orgs. I’d probably still have roommates, even. I don’t need much. I’m happy with a bedroom of my own, the rest of the house can be shared space. I just want to do mutual aid work and not have to worry about being evicted or starving :(

We do occasionally see a small surcharge in the US when using a card, but that’s regardless of method (swipe, insert, or tap). Very small businesses will often charge 1-5% for any debit or credit purchase, and cash price is the listed price. But again, that’s not tap specific

I’ve honestly never considered using my bank through a mobile browser. Yeah, it I can do that I’d be fine on that front.

Sniffies is completely dead here, and the dudes that are on it are gross. Grindr isn’t much better, but since everyone’s on it you can occasionally find people who are willing to use protection or hosting someone other than some bushes. I’ll try way droid and see if it works. If it doesn’t, I googled it and it says you can use Grindr from desktop if you pay… I may end up having to do that if I made the switch.

Which leaves cash app as the biggie. I’ll try waydroid, but if it doesn’t work I’ll probably end up needing to keep android or switching to iOS (I hate iPhones:( ), or maybe even getting a second phone I use exclusively for cash app. No sim, just my wifi hotspot (can you do a wifi hotspot with a Linux phone yet?). In order to prevent overdrafts and accidental charges, I never spend directly from my bank account. I transfer exactly what I’ll need for each purchase to cash app before the transaction and shop like that. Keeps me aware, and no accidental charges or surprises.

Help a non-techy out. I’ve fully switched my computers to Linux (fedora workstation, silver blue, and ubuntu). Been Linux only for several years now. Silverblue is probably my favorite. I’m willing to make the switch for my phone, too. But there are a few things I’m pretty reliant on:

My banking apps, cash app, and, embarrassing as it may be to admit, Grindr.

Any chance of getting those?

I’ve never seen a surcharge for tap to pay in the US. I’m not sure about elsewhere, but whether I’m tapping my car, my phone, or my watch I have never seen any surcharge from the retailer, my banks, or from Google.

Oh that was a big part of it. Thankfully, we no longer have to deal with a rat infestation, not in a long time. But I still keep all my mason jars and jelly jars. Lol. Öld habits. They’re also great in lieu of Tupperware, and depending on the type and how much you fill them, they’re freezer safe. I love my mason jars and cast iron lol

The dichotomy of me: I have always wanted pet rats. I have also lived in a home with a horrible rat infestation. Like, to the point where whole sections of wall have been missing from them chewing them. Keep the food in plastic totes instead of cabinets, and they still chew through the totes. Wild rats, while the same species, are truly horrible to live with them. Not their fault. They’re still adorable, intelligent little creatures. But good God does it absolutely suck to have them free ranging themselves in your walls

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