But I might want to not use this doctor for my yearly specialty visits for the first time in over a decade!

Yeah, they’re not great. Unfortunately the only other option near me that isn’t unaffordable is the Salvation Army 🤢

Goodwill Outlet/bins store, baby. You can still buy by the pound. Regular Goodwill stores are still pretty good here too if you buy the sale tags.

Accusing OP of posting crypto-antisemitism for using the word “they” in the title of a post that has an extremely clear, literally labeled target (the DNC, if you look at the second panel) feels extremely disingenuous.

That’s basically what Angels Flight in Los Angeles is. Locals got sick of walking up the fuck off steep hill and built a 300 foot rail to go up and down it.

100% anecdotal, but I’d say the spam callers aren’t even waiting. I’ve had more in the last 2 months than the previous year.

Yeah, I was gonna say whatever is going on with his spine might be hiding a few inches. You’d be amazed how many inches you can lose to curvature without looking like Quasimodo.

But I doubt he was ever 6’3”. That sounds like a number he picked years ago because someone he hates is 6’2”.

The reason IP exists isn’t a whatabout, it kinda sounds like you just don’t want to hear about anyone other than giant corporations benefitting from it.

In what sense is a ladder getting pulled up if IP is respected? Anyone can make a new IP, there’s not a limited supply of imagination. You can’t make everyone like what you come up with or buy it, but why should that entitle you to being able to profit off someone else’s work?

The imbalance against giant corporations isn’t anything to sneeze at, but there are just as many (probably more) small time companies breaking copyright law and hoping nobody notices. For example, stealing artwork to print on cheap crap that you sell below what the creator is selling them for. If they’re in an area that recognizes that copyright then they’re going to lose every time, and they’re not going to have enough money to drag it out. After that happens artists can recover all the earnings that were made with their work. Without that the artist is just fucked.

Since its 25th anniversary of its western release just passed and it’s on my mind, Princess Mononoke is a good one. It’s bloody but tasteful.

Thanks for the reply, I guess I’m just paranoid about what anyone could do with that information given the political climate in the US right now. I don’t say anything on here that I wouldn’t be fine having read off in court anyway, but a lot of people here do not seem to have the same inhibition, so guilt by association is a worry of mine. Probably unrealistic, but I’d rather be a little paranoid now than extremely sorry in the future.

Thanks for the reply! I’ll check out tesseract.

Since y’all are both much more technically literate than me, could I ask one of you to take a look at what’s going on with embedded images from the Nicole spam seemingly loading trackers? Is this something Blahaj users should worry about or take steps to deal with?

What does this mean for people who have received these messages? Should I be worried just about having loaded the image by opening my lemmy messages?

I always assumed they were just getting into it, assuming you aren’t talking about expressions caused by just playing the instrument in general (like with brass and wind instruments).

Using this as a place to infodump because I just learned it: you know how haikus follow a 5-7-5 syllable pattern? For corridos every line is 8 syllables.

The more you know 🌈⭐️

It confirms that she was born in Germany, lived there for the first years of her life before fleeing Nazi persecution, and had German citizenship until it was revoked by the Nazis. “She was a German who had her citizenship revoked by the Nazis at the time of her death” and “she wasn’t German” aren’t compatible without accepting the Nazi definition of who was and wasn’t a German citizen. The Holocaust was carried out on Germany’s citizens (in addition to those of other nations), even if they denied that these people were citizens.

In the current political climate I feel this is a very important distinction to make.

Frank was born in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1929. In 1934, when she was four-and-a-half, Frank and her family moved to Amsterdam in the Netherlands after Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party gained control over Germany. By May 1940, the family was trapped in Amsterdam by the German occupation of the Netherlands. Frank lost her German citizenship in 1941 and became stateless.

Did we read the same article? How do Nazis revoke citizenship from someone who wasn’t a citizen? She was still German born and would have had the right to legal recognition of her status as a German citizen had she survived. The only sense in which she wasn’t German is that the Nazi government in power at the time of her death didn’t consider her a citizen (or human being), but that’s a pretty poor basis to say she wasn’t German.

The comment you just replied to was my first comment in this thread. Perhaps read usernames before accusing other people of being too stupid to think, lol.
