Before we dive deeper, it’s essential to understand what personal character means.

I mean, the rabid Trump supporters are working from such a different starting point and set of assumptions. It makes perfect sense to go right back to basics: definitions of “lying” and “personal character”.

the intentional design of Lemmy

Yeah, if you disagree with an instance’s decisions, defederations, and so on… Choose another instance 🤷

Technically, but they’re only one way.

The ones sold as “heat pumps” can operate both directions-- cool the outside world/heat your home in winter.

!fuck_cars@lemmy.ml is leaking.

Yeah Narnia was straight up unmistakable Christian allegory. I believe J.R.R. (C.S.'s drinking buddy) always insisted that LOTR was not meant to be taken in that way, or like when people hypothesized that Sauron was Hitler and so on.

Including t-shirt sizes! That’s a new one. Identity theft mannequins with accurate bellies?!?

Profit!

Haha I remember a couple months ago at his first arraignment, Trump’s team actually wanted a mugshot for the merch, and photoshopped one up when NY DA didn’t oblige.

We’re concerned about getting sunburned and tanned

Lighter skin=beautiful skin in China. Not a racist thing (at least in its origins) but classist: the poors had to go work in the sun all day.

I gather it used to be the same in Europe and the west, but then the poors ended up cooped up in their office jobs while the beautiful people could go on beach vacations, and suddenly tans were in.

Lol well done.

I couldn’t believe when that came out and had no effect. Like when George W would just misspeak or Clinton admitted smoking weed in college or whatever, it always seemed like there were huge political consequences.

I’ve never heard of this either, I had to check Wikipedia. Apparently it’s caused by two chemicals from boar balls, one is “sweaty” tasting and one is “fecal”.
