But not from Tennessee.

Can I know what that religion is?

I can't find a source right now, because I just woke up and I don't want to, so (Trust Me Bro, et al, 2024) but there's a chance that quote is actually about Nazis!

A lot of French people referred to them as "the others" and would often speak sort of semi-codedly about them in writing and such so as not to piss off their new overlords. So that line may well not have been "I'm such an introvert that being around other humans is like being in hell" but instead "hell has delivered itself to my doorstep in the form of goose-stepping bastards"

I once had a conversation with a cashier in TN that started with a newspaper by check out saying something about remembrance day in England. I explained it's basically like their version of Memorial Day. It ended with me having to explain what Europe is. A super abridged synopsis:

Me: It's basically their version of Memorial Day.

Her: why do they need a different version?

Me: they're a different country, different laws.

Her: it's not really a different country if you can drive to it

Me:... What

Her: I mean, it's basically just the same country

Me: you cannot drive to England.

Her: you can't?

Me: it's an island.

Her: I thought it was Europe?

Me: you also cannot drive to Europe.

I then had to explain what Europe was, how England is Europe in the same way Puerto Rico is North America. I shouldn't have included that. Or tried to explain armistice day. It was a very long conversation that ended up going outside during her smoke break.

She was the second grown adult I had to explain Europe to. Tennessee has failed it's children, y'all. I'm not being funny, and contrary to OP's premise, I don't really judge them for this. I judge the state and the school system. It's bad.

If someone is cleaning a floor and I have to walk over it, they're getting several sorrys and at least 2 thank yous, while I do that shrink my body to the side and putting my palms out towards them like a peasant not trying to be whipped by a landed gentry.

I've mopped professionally. It sucks.

I thought so! When I saw this my first thought was "wait, isn't that the one I used to use several years ago?"

Yeah, it is. Ended up not being compatible on a new phone is why I switched, I think..forgot about it after.

Hey, sorry I haven't replied. I switched to a different account (@[email protected]) and haven't checked this one.

I've been doing a lot of sewing. Mainly dog toys and pillows for making life a little more comfy :)

Me. I would love to be a third shift librarian.

I'm not gonna lie, I straight up love taco bell. I avoided it for years and years because of the stereotype about it making you sick or being cheap and gross. Then I was out a few years ago and had 2 dollars in change and an empty belly. That shit was good and no stomach upset. It's now my go to fast food, especially considering it's easy as hell to get veggie options.

Also, gas/bloat is not specific to taco bell, it's fucking beans. Eat anything with beans and you're gonna get gassy. Not directed specifically at you, just anyone who needs to hear this.

Not too terribly long ago, clothing was super expensive. Like, make a dress from burlap or old feed sacks instead of buying something expensive. Some companies that sold feed and seed would print floral patterns on the sacks because they knew customers would turn the old sacks into clothing for their children.

I've never thought about VR for fitness. I have a VR that I never use. Any suggestions on an app that isn't expensive? I'm fat and trying to be not fat. Lol

When you say export, is there a tool for that for, like, mass exporting your subs? Or do I have to manually search each one and sub again?

I ask because I've been meaning to switch to my alt, but I made a point of subbing to as many communities as possible to make Lemmy more fun to use for me, and good lord, it's a lot to do.
