If you post a link to a video, include a plaintext summary.

Delivery trucks are fine. They don't contribute to sprawl, are driven by professional drivers, and don't need parking lots.

It's personal automobiles that are the problem.

How old were you in 2008? Because I saw some really ugly racism directed at him both when he was running and during that first term. It went up, not down.

Fallen. Denzel sets a very neat trap for the demon... but not neat enough.

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog as well. While the Doc may have been mostly noble and Hammer mostly awful, it ends (somewhat ambiguously) with the Doc actually turning into a villain.

Say you're doing homework and you want to compare answers with a friend. But you didn't do your own homework, you copied most of it off Dave. So you compare with Sara, and if there's any errors that Dave made or Sara made you have a chance to catch and fix them. But if Sara also copied off Dave, you're not gonna catch those mistakes.

Similarly, you have two sets of chromosomes, and for each "gene" (homework problem) you have genes (answers) that are more or less dominant. Bad genes that kill or impair you tend to be recessive, because if they are dominant the carrier doesn't survive. So it's all right if you have one copy, because it's not expressed. But if you have two copies...

Often I end up closing the list and immediately turning to self-soothing. And because there's no way to know in advance if a task on the list will give me anxiety, this often results in my list being not just unusable but unreadable, preventing me from doing or even remembering the non-anxiety tasks on the same list.

Not always, but it's a good rule of thumb.

Because microblogging is about shouting into the void and threaded fora are about conversation.

I'm not from California, so I don't know much about her; but this genuinely surprised me, especially how vicious and vitriolic the comments were. What's going on there?

I can't remember how I first came across this song: My wife says I played it for her, but I remember her playing it for me. The important thing is that we both love it, which believe you me, is not all that common.

I love it because it's rollicking and high-energy and earnest. I eventually looked up the lyrics (which are in Catalan) and it's a pretty normal love song with some nice sentiments, but the passion and desire come across in the vocal tone, even through a language barrier.

If you like Yo La Tengo or The Magnetic Fields, this song will probably hit the spot for you.

And if anyone has more music that sounds like this, send it my way. I'm always expanding my library.

Years ago in a thrift store, I found the perfect pants. The formal look of slacks but without the obnoxious vertical slit pockets. The stiffer fabric and sensible pockets of jeans but with a more genteel cut. I now know these were golf pants, and I wear them every day for work.

I have an upcoming wedding, semiformal, indoors. I'm not in the bridal party, nor am I escorting anybody in the bridal party. Can I wear golf pants to this event, or do I need to go buy slacks, or even a full suit? I'm not opposed to buying a suit, I just want to know what my options are.

Edit: The specific pants I wear to work are these but I might buy something a little nicer for the event.

Go to the communities page for your instance, set it to all, and scroll through the first several pages adding anything that sounds interesting. Don't worry if there are duplicates, sub them all. The search for any favorite topics and add those communities, too. Then browse by subscribed»new going forward.

You can also check out !newcommunities@lemmy.world for communities still getting off the ground.

Oh! And when linking, do it like I did above; this link works no matter what instance you're on.

Instead of making more money, I hustle to spend less. Ride my bike instead of drive or take transit. Cook at home instead of eat out. Get clothes and furniture from the local Buy Nothing exchange group. Compost my scraps and grow produce in the garden.

There are many helpful bots, like the one that corrects community links to be instance-neutral.
