She’s number one

Did someone give her the statue of liberty?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAÄAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Yes and no.

Pending means the sub hasn’t gone through to the home instance of the community. If you’re the first subscriber, this means the there will be no inbound federation bringing the content from that community to your instance.

If someone else on your instance has already successfully subbed, the federating is already occurring, and your instance will be receiving the activity as it comes in.

Your instance will then show it to you, both in your subscriptions and in general, even though the sub is pending.

If your sub stays pending, you may have to unsub and resub to get it to work. If no-one else on your instance has subbed either, then the activity will continue to not show up for as long as it is pending.

I don’t mind PDA most of the time. It’s cute when two people are completely lost in each other. I appreciate it when people bother being discreet, but even when they don’t, it’s usually not that invasive when people express themselves just between the two of them.

But then there’s the attention whores, playing it up for the crowds.

He’s cuddly as hell, and gets right up in the business of new and old humans without a care.

Even knows how to play fetch, given I use a toy that he likes to chase when thrown, more than he likes to chew it when caught.

Absolutely, but those shouldn’t be overlooked by anyone, and forgiven only once someone has made the effort to unlearn that shit.

Is the “profound” message here really just that as younger women enter the lives of their aging husbands and then fathers, they tolerate less and less of the historical sexist shittyness, as they’ve grown up a generation later than the previous main female figure in their lives?

Scoffing when asked to change ones behaviour for the better is not a gendered charachter fault. No-one likes being informed that something they’ve been doing, and consider normal, is bad, actually.

And that’s not a reason not to improve. The opposite. It’s a reason to embrace self-improvement, and to learn to do ones best to skip the denial phase.

Something I think most people, of both genders, can be very good at if they want to be.

I’m right there with you. I’m utterly confused.

What is there to forgive? Is thore some inherent shittyness in men that needs overlooking on the part of women, or suppressing on the part of men?

Or is this just talking about how gender equality as improved with each generation, so as the same dudes age, the younger women in their lives are asking them to be more and more fair?

Fake news. Cats always make things better, especially when they’re making things worse.

I think those are extremely exaggerated lower eyelids. They rise a bit when a person smiles, so they’re like that to make her smile look extra deranged.

2048 is so good. I love the teams each having three craft types. The tracks are really fun, with both wide sections where you can go flat out without a care, and narrow parts where you have to really thread the needle and use the airbrakes with total precision.

If you haven’t already, check out BallisticNG. It’s a retro style re-implementation of the classic WipEout physics, and the upcoming update will fully implement the 2048 physics mode.

Any AG racing fans in here?

BalisticNG is my latest main game, but my love began with the WipEout series.

I also enjoy Redout and Redout 2, but the lack of weapons means I can only go so long before needing to play WipEout or BNG again.

Obligatory mention of !ballisticng@sopuli.xyz

I know.

It’s a Tiagra 4700 (works really fucking well, actually) which is 10-speed, but it for some ass-backwards reason uses 11-speed cable pull (but with the actuation for a 10-speed cassette), which isn’t disclosed anywhere.

So it’ll work as-is with any 11-speed shifter, as long as you make sure the mech stops are set so you can’t shift off the cassette.

Here in Helsinki I’ve been seeing some local restaurants converting the parking spots up front into patio space for the summer.

Once it was clear they could choose between two parked cars, or four more tables for customers, a lot seem to be picking the latter.

No, not just you.

Putting together a drivetrain is a fucking pain in the ass because even when shit is interoperable, there is no documentation confirming that.

Just as an example, I have a bike with shifters that attach to the brake levers. Neat, minimalist.

Except the brakes and brake levers are kinda shit, so I’d like to replace them. Except then I’d need a new shifter. Ok fine.

But wait, the derailleur uses an unusual cable-pull-interval that shimano used on literally just this one derailleur-shifter combo, so now I need a new derailleur that’ll work with the new shifter.

It’s fucking infuriating.

Markets? Events? Pop up cafes?

Naaaah. Parking!

Again, the weird paraphrasing, is why it’s funny. No-one is actually doing it with those exact words except to be funny.

It’s like asking someonen to to hang out by saying “could thine be compelled to spend a night in mine company, perhaps during the consumption of sustenance?”

Paraphrasing is the act of saying something with different words. Using unusual, inaccurate, hyperbolic or too many words is a common way to be funny.

What? There are other anime instances? Where?

I only know about ani.social, and I’m basically the biggest anime content poster on lemmy.

That’s not how a social platform that works by people making as many communities as they can keep active, works.

You wouldn’t even be seeing that many communities if there wasn’t some activity in each of them.

I know it’s an unfortunate reality for anime fans to be lumped in with pedos, and I shut it down the best I can wherever I find it. How the fuck did you get to an interpretation where I’m perpetrating that kind of thinking?

I absolutely think that is the intent and I find those communities to be gross and have them all blocked.

If you think every anime fan is into that crap, you are very sorely mistaken,

How can you hold those two views simultaneously? Those communities aren’t small, are you saying their entire userbases are the worst of the worst?

and if you don’t, you are using inapplicable generalizations to make a point and that’s just deceptive.

What? If you think this, you’re wrong, if you don’t, you’re also wrong? Which is it?

Are you saying that I’m pushing the idea that NONE of them are pedos, as if I’m ignoring the probability that at least some of them are?

And it’s hardly “wierdly defensive” of me to speak up when I probably created most of the communities you’re shitting on.

And as that creator, I can straight up tell you, it’s not the “intent”.
