Yay Sandy news! And I hope your surgery will go well and that you'll receive fast.

The land theft was fundamental to the famine.

Under the British rule, the Irish were not allowed to own land and had to rent it from a British landlord; more important still, the Irish were not allowed to rent more than a half-acre.

The only crop with a sufficient yield per acreage to feed yourself and have enough left over to pay rent off a half-acre of land, is the potato.

The potato blight hit the entirety of Europe, not just Ireland. Only Ireland suffered a famine. Because the British rule had reduced the options for the Irish to potatoes or starvation.

WOW, yes, your problem is almost certainly Flatpak-related. I'm surprised you even got as far as you did. Flatpak is often great but does not tend to play well with applications that need less common capabilities.

I'd recommend installing VMM in a different way if that's an option for you; I expect that will likely make your problem go away.

Well, what are the permissions of /run/usr/1000/doc/c0a3c3fc and what user are you running VMM as?

Is your pigeons' threatspin routine like, 360 spin one way then 360 spin the other way then charge? That's what I've observed most often. You can tell how pissed the pigeon is by the speed of the spin too.

All of these are entirely up to you. There's no entrance exam.

Fursuits are completely optional. Get one, don't get one, get one that's not even your fursona but that you just like. It's all good.

Some are way into their species and collect knickknacks featuring it. Others don't care much, or flip between species multiple times before settling. Some never settle and have whole collections of fursonas.

Some actively low-key (or high-key) act out their furriness IRL. Some only do it online. Or at conventions. Or all of the above, or never.

Essentially: what about your own identity feels furry to you? What ways of reaching for that part of you feel right to you? There's no prewritten answer. Only you can find out what furriness means to you.

Welcome aboard. It's a wild journey, but the company is delightful. :)

Wow, that's a sobering read. And comprehensive, and insightful. I hope this gets some attention and results in much needed improvements in that area.

Also check out Wordatro (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3140120/Wordatro/)! It's well made and quite addictive.

As the saying goes, there is no war but class war.

No engagement rings, by our values those are kinda corny. Wedding rings we got from a jewelry factory that supplies much of the country, which happens to be local to where we lived at the time. Got them at factory price. Not quite $12, but not much higher. :)

I am emotionally invested in Sandy.

Reality is so woke.
