I saw it, and got a little excited to have something to post here lol

Lmao. Dude be trippin

Oh dang!

Would you believe I just now noticed your user name?

Makes total sense now. I’ve known a few people dealing with it, and yeah, it would definitely be an impediment to run into delays and hassles signing up for anything. Hell, breathing can be a barrier with ME/CFS.

Dude, I fucking love marmite. It took forever to be available in my neck of the woods, but I tried it and vegemite last year for the first time. I actually love both of them, but marmite is my preference for most things.

Marmite is more multiuse, between those two.

Currently, my three favorite uses are as an addition to ramen, on toast with a little butter, and tiny bits on crackers with peanut butter. Yes, you read that right. Don’t judge me ;)

But it’s a great addition to most hearty soups and stews. And it’ll go with stuff like Brussels sprouts if you use it sparingly.

Edit: in case it wasn’t obvious, I’m in the US. Which, I know, that’s not what this community is really for, but have you tried espousing the joys is marmite to most folks in the US?

I’m not sure how a subjective opinion can be wrong, but whatever.

It is easy to use.

Seriously, the only difficulty is in being patient. That’s it. It takes some instances longer to approve an account than others, which can mean it’ll be a big longer after that before you can log in.

Like, I just made an alt account for this user name recently took overnight to be able to log in. No weird crap, just patience. I’ve had to wait longer on independent forums for hobbies. Same experience with a recently made alt of my author user name, only it took maybe an hour before I could log in.

There’s zero difficulty in the process that isn’t also present everywhere online.

Lemmy is a community driven, usually small admin team network. Big whoop, a little delay. It isn’t like you can’t scroll passively while you wait. You have access to that much, and if someone has the sense to do that, then maybe they have the sense to pay attention to instance and community rules as well.

Well, ngl, my disability/chronic pain support group doesn’t run high to cognitive troubles. There’s some, but it isn’t a majority.

That being said, the only questions I’ve had are where about which version of a community to use. Like how there’s a handful of C/s for a topic, which ones are worth using. Even the MS folks with significant brain fog haven’t expressed any issues getting started.

But it may be a thing where some cognitive issues are more likely to have trouble with the signup process than others, I dunno.

Ahhh, you missed the burger war of 2016!

My wife was craving, and I quote, “a burger big enough to choke an elephant.”

Challenge accepted.

I get the supplies together, and set out on a mission. Great big ol buns, and an obscene amount of beef. Half a pound each. I was not fucking around, and was perfect willing to make mine a three meal endeavour, I don’t mind leftover burgers.

So, these fuckers are full bun sized, and almost an inch thick when cooked.

I get everything plated, all the fixins on the table and give a yell.

Annnnnd it was on. They were “too big, do you think I can suck an orange down or something?” No comment.

But, you said you wanted a burger that could choke an elephant.

I didn’t mean literally, I can’t even take a bite!

Well, squash it down.

But then it’s all squashed.

Then cut it into pieces? I don’t know, you said you wanted giant mouthfuls of hot, salty, greasy meat, and you turned down the D, so you gotta work with me here.

But it’s a burger, you shouldn’t have to cut it.

I take a giant bite

I don’t have to.

Well, yeah, but you could suck elephant dick, sasquatch boy.

I’ll give you something to suck, you sass machine.

I just want a burger, couldn’t you have made it bigger around instead?

Maybe if you wanted it to hang off the bun like crazy, they only make them so big. Any thinner and I’d have had to cook them one at a time because they’d be the size of a plate.

Well, why didn’t you just cook smaller burgers altogether?

Because you said you wanted a burger that could choke an elephant. If you just wanted a bunch of regular sized burgers, you could have gotten a whopper or whatever.

But you know I can only open my jaw so far.

Yeah, I know exactly how far, and that burger isn’t anywhere near that thick, thank you

It is with the bun and everything! It’s thicker!

Look, you turned that down anyway, not my fault. Just cut it in half and make two burgers.

But then it’s only crusty and crispy on one side.

Well, I can give it a quick sear.

But then it’s over cooked

Do you not want the burger? Look at the dog, she wants it.

I want it! I just want it where I can get my mouth on it to take a bite.

reaches over and pulls the patty off, then squashes it on the plate

There, that’ll do it.

But now it’s all messy!

Woman, you do know there’s limited options here. You said you wanted huge. They’re huge. They’re amazing too, no matter how squished and messy. Eat the burger.

Fine!

Mumble-grumble jaw going to hurt for days, rassin frassin yeti looking hairball

So, is it good?

Mmph.

Is that a yes?

Myus, itsh good. frantic chewing and swallowing

See, I told you

enter the bird of paradise, flipping my way

Love you too baby

I have no idea why my browser choked on that, but holy crap it did.

Ummmm, nsfw warning.

!head!<

It has been scheduled because I’ve been dealing with a badly pulled muscle in my back, and the last time we tried anything at all, I ended up needing muscle relaxers to stop the spasms running up and down my back.

I’m in a mood lately.

It’s a mix of death metal, some thrash, folk, bubblegum pop and some hip-hop.

As in, all mixed together, where I’ll have some kataklysm going for a song or three, then some Debbie Gibson, then some anthrax, then some Britney, then some Biggie, then some bygones back to some amon amarth, etc, etc.

Normally, I tend to sink into a general range and then cycle to another for a few days. No idea what’s spurred this rotation, but it is what it is

I would think that my comment makes it obvious, but I’m okay with that. Lemmy is working fine. Piefed and mbin interact with it seamlessly in most cases. Mastodon links up okay.

Niche is working. Not everything has to be market dominating

Frankly? Good.

I hate to be the asshole, but if someone is either that stupid, or that unwilling to put in even the most basic effort, I don’t want them here.

My mom signed herself up for lemmy. In her early seventies, kinda ignorant of tech stuff, and did it all on her lonesome. So did my 12 year old niece. So did my cousin with Downs.

Yeah, a kid with downs syndrome could manage to sign up for lemmy. Didn’t need any help beyond “hey, hairball, which lemmy?”. That’s it. Just wanted to know what instance he should pick.

But he sure as fuck got logged in just fine.

So, when I see these people on reddit that can’t be bothered to do what you would do on any website that you have trouble logging into, I’m perfectly fine with them not being here. They aren’t going to be bringing anything useful with them at all.

I’ve specifically avoided time travel in most of my stories because it’s a pain in the ass to make work.

So, I’d go with the most forgiving version where the act of time travel splits off a new timeline. Or, that the travel itself is to another timeline, depending on how you want to look at it.

That’s the easiest to write around, imo. It’s also the version most likely to hold up to scrutiny, even if (when) I made mistakes. You can hand wave a lot of stuff when you don’t have to worry about paradox.

You do know that you aren’t going to be hacking reddit, right?

Waiiit a minute, are you a jumping spider, man?

Well, they can’t exactly use the Russians, what with them being allies of the cheeto in chief.

And they can’t go back to using black people as the fearmonger target yet, because they gotta break things down a bit more.

And, since the gays still have too much support to totally sell that idea to the less crazy Republicans, they can’t go after them.

Gotta have the specter though, and those trans people are the perfect target. Small numbers, already dealing with attacks, limited by medical needs. Perfect target for the playbook.

There’s more than one reason trans rights being human rights matters. The big one is the fact of it, but the attacks against trans people are the current battlefield for a fight that’s been going on for at least since Nixon, in an obvious way. Longer if you divorce the struggle for civil rights from the southern strategy and look at it in context, because the line between the fight against slavery (not just in the US) and the fight for trans rights is fairly direct.

Trans rights are human rights. We can’t forget that, ever.

Oh damn, they just be trippin all over!

Ikr? It’s textbook ptb. I was so surprised by it, I started laughing

Appreciate it :)
