I think ace people are using that already. /s

I think some variant of cake day is fun but I’m regretfully going to play devil’s advocate this time (even though he really doesn’t need any more advocates).

Is an account anniversary a thing we want to recognize as a part of Lemmy culture? There’s quite a few people who aren’t on their original Lemmy accounts anymore due to servers going offline and cultural disagreements with their original instances. When account migration becomes a thing, does your anniversary follow it? There’s a higher percentage of people who make new accounts every so often for the purpose of privacy and that’s a behavior I think, as a community, we want to respect even if we don’t want to celebrate it - having recognized and trustworthy-ish regulars also has value. I’m not sure if Reddit-level recognition of an anniversary makes sense in the context of the culture we’ve already started building here.

Also, the majority of those who are on our original accounts have anniversaries within like a month of each other due to Reddit’s API bullshit - and doesn’t our Canvas event fall around that same time (although using that specifically as a “Fuck Reddit” event is imo not productive - I like the fact that last year’s canvas had fuck u/spez everywhere and this year’s didn’t).

I wonder if the artist was a fan of the pomodoro technique?

I suspect the same people who like Papa John’s Pizza are the same ones who like Red Baron frozen pizzas (which also is sweet). I like both, but unfortunately for me the local Papa John’s is not great.

There’s a game you control by blinking. Before Your Eyes. It’s a fairly short indie game, and maybe a bit heavy, but he should be able to play it just fine.

Buffalo aioli.

But I bet nacho toppings would slap on fries.

If it’s the ad I’m thinking of, I actually kinda liked it. But I definitely agree with you on the safety razors. Better shave and better for the planet. Don’t buy plastic cartridge razors, you’re getting ripped off and needlessly contributing to the plastic problem. Now if only I could find blades that a 100 pack didn’t mean 20 plastic 5-packs of blades, but it still is a lot less waste than a cartridge razor.

Kiki’s Delivery Service. I got it on VHS, probably for Christmas the year the Disney dub came out. I didn’t have cable for a decent chunk of my childhood, so I saw that even before Pokemon.

Cherish even the repeat stories, she won’t be around forever.

Also consider recording as many as you can. I regret not doing so.

There’s a “removed Geneva convention violation” patch note in an early update of Stardew Valley for exactly this reason.

Jesse “the Body” Ventura. Let’s go full Senior Citizens Wrestling League with this.

My brother was assigned that in school and we had it in the RV on a camping trip, so I picked it up and read it one evening. Both the info on citrus growing, and the violence, are things I still remember. Fucked up.

Was it assigned reading? Where did you go to school? I’ve always wondered if that book made it into reading lists anywhere outside of Florida.

Funny enough, I stopped mixing up my left and right after I broke my arm roller blading (on another occasion I broke my arm while biking). I didn’t have a way to mentally keep track until the doctor set the arm slightly off with the bone bowing out a bit - it feels slightly different now, but visually you can’t tell.

Hexbear has some awesome emojis, lol. I haven’t seen the flag burning one yet.

Have there been any video games that have done this for an idle animation?

They’re fairly common in Central Florida. Many large retention ponds have them and they just get relocated once they reach a certain size. It was still fun to be standing on a friend’s apartment balcony and spot an alligator laying next to the retention pond.

Squirrels are extremely common in (most of?) the US, even in cities. There’s an albino one that lives in my neighborhood, that one was interesting enough to stop and take a picture of.

What about crocodiles? Alligators are in most reasonably large retention ponds in Florida. Most places just relocate them once they reach a certain size. They’re pretty common. Knew a guy in high school who had a side hustle of removing them from people’s swimming pools. They’re pretty weird if you’re not from a place used to them.

Back when I worked at Disney, a subset of the Asian guests would get excited and take pictures of squirrels. Are there parts of Asia that don’t have many squirrels?

If you go the NASCAR route, it’d make it way easier to find out who bought your politicians. And which pharma company bought lunch for your doctor last week.
