By the standards of US and Canadian politics, yeah we're to the left of center. But "center" has been dragged to the right so far that it's prompting this whole argument. The Overton window had shifted so far that liberalism - which, in a current context, supports relatively unregulated capitalism and trickle down economics - there's a whole swath of political ideologies that's basically nonexistent within our modern day electoral politics. I'm somewhere in the anarchist range and choose to engage with electoral politics - if they chose to participate within the context of a FPTP voting system with two options, we'd find ourselves voting for the same candidate despite our likely highly differing political beliefs. In many countries that left wing is less smashed, the range of political discourse is much wider.
Shit just works is to the left side of, but comfortably within, the current Canadian Overton window. In a global sense, the instance is kinda to the right, in the same way that Bernie Sanders is moderate by western European standards.

In America, candy corn is a vegetable. It's just really sweet corn. Meat and veggies, it's all you need!

Well, he's been (falsely) rumored to have died in the war in Ukraine, so he clearly didn't die from the incident.

50 Shades of Gray is basically this, but it takes this idea to 11 for a joke.

I'd forgotten that awful bit until you mentioned it. :( iirc my brother got that on my file and I got the chocobo balloons on his.

Yeah, I wondered if that might be the case when I took the picture, that tail was definitely injured at some point.

Nope, not even close. Although I have heard of those albino squirrels, lol.

Oh, I've seen one of those! Couldn't get a great picture though.

Anyone know if Ublue Aurora works out of the box with a MacBook like OP has? I've got a 2014 MacBook Pro that I'm probably putting Linux on next year once I no longer need Mac OS.
My gaming laptop, with an Nvidia graphics card, is running Bazzite and I've never had any issues with it (of course, ymmv).

I'm always going to upvote a kitty pic, and I think a random kitten can improve every comment section... but why here?
Edit: Oh, I see now.

Another option is to make another community on another instance and make a post here redirecting to it. At one point it was better to have at least one mod located on the same instance as the community but I think that's been worked out already?
I'd be happy to subscribe and contribute where I can to a StardewValley community on Lemm.ee if you want to make one. A while ago I tried to revive this community and it was still pretty quiet, sadly.

Possibly because Romeo and Juliet were stupid teenagers and and part of the tragedy is about the impulsiveness of youth. A good teacher can sometimes get that across, but I suspect it doesn't really sink in. And if they didn't teach it with A Midsummer Night's Dream it's also a missed opportunity - Romeo and Juliet is satirized during the Pyramus and Thisby play-in-a-play.
Image description: four panel comic First panel shows hands holding a game boy with Pokemon Professor Oak saying "now tell me. Are you a boy? Or are you a girl?" Second panel shows a masculine presenting individual holding the game boy saying "Haha!, but of course I'm a ..." Third panel has the same person with a shocked expression. Fourth panel has the same person now presenting stereotypically fem in a pink top and a skirt, staring in the mirror with a tear of joy on her face.
Everyone has probably already seen this, it's worth posting anyway.
A left ear, a right ear, and a final front ear.

I blame rtxn@lemmy.world's comment for giving me this idea.
I have mixed feelings on the pronoun use, but having read some of her autobiographical writing I don't think she would have taken much issue with it. This piece is more focused on her work in computer engineering, so I felt it was appropriate to post here.
The MN Department of Revenue just announced the application won't be available today, BMTN hasn't updated their article as of the time I'm posting this. I've been hitting F5 for almost three hours, I'm going to go take a nap.
This is largely fantastic, but I definitely laughed at Ham-line.
I have an [HP Stream 11](https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04491941) that I want to use for word processing and some light web browsing - I'm a writer and it's a lightweight laptop to bring to the library or coffee shop to write on. Right now it's got Windows and it's unusable due to lack of hard drive space for updates. Someone had luck with [Xubuntu](https://www.richardmudhar.com/blog/2022/04/hp-stream-11-lives-again-with-xubuntu/), but it's been a few years and it seems like Xubuntu is no longer trying to be a lightweight distro for use cases like this. My experience with Linux is very limited - I played around with Peppermint Linux a bit back when it was a Lubuntu fork and I used Ubuntu on the lab computers in college. I can follow instructions to make a live boot and I can do an apt-get (so something Debian-based might be best for compatibility and familiarity) but I mostly have no idea what I'm doing, lol. I used to do DOS gaming as a kid so having to do the occasional thing via command line isn't going to scare me off but I'm not going to pretend to have knowledge I don't. I'm probably going to go with Mint on my gaming laptop next year but I suspect it's not the best choice for my blue bezeled potato (although I might try it anyway).
Be prepared to restart your day.
