I think this is exactly what Alito meant by the "domestic supply" of infants available for adoption.

Costume Quest and Costume Quest 2 would be something you could play together. The player character is the twin of your choice, a girl or a boy, on a mission to save their sibling. You would have to read it to her and probably solve the puzzles, but she would be able to do the fights once you got going since it is turn based. It's very kid friendly.

We have about 25 years worth of experiments with it in various states, so it's been well studied. Legislating is a skill that needs to be developed, just like anything else, and a bunch of term-limited newbies have no incentive to do anything except get ready for the next thing, which only enhances the possiblity of corruption.

A mandatory retirement age is a different suggestion than term limits.

None of that has happened in the states that have term limits. If you think Republicans, no matter how long they have been in office, are going to start putting anyone other than Federalist Society drones on the courts, I'm not sure I can have a good faith argument with you.

Term limits empower lobbyists and career staffers and encourage legislators to give less of a shit about their constituents. I know "career politician" is often considered a dirty word, but having competent, knowledgeable elected officials is a good thing.

Drop Dead Gorgeous is an amazing dark comedy with a 47% score from critics.

I'm sure there is a spreadsheet they are working their way down.

It is literally crawling with bees every time I go out there.

Not the American goldfinch.

Was it? I'm a few episodes behind, but maybe I'll catch up tonight. Overall, it felt like one of the most egregiously overproduced seasons I can remember, so it was hard to stay interested.

All the wildlife in my relatively small, suburban yard really makes me happy.

I found myself in a similar place a few years ago. I ended up putting what was left in a very large, heavy planter that I could take with me when we moved.

I had a cat like that. She was 100% stupid baby at all times. I tried on a fabric baby carrier/wrap and put her in it to see how it worked before my first human baby was born, and she was completely content in it.

It's very good at self seeding, so I started with two and now I have lots.

Not yet, but I'm expecting them soon in North Jersey. They prefer my swamp milkweed, but I don't have great conditions for it so it's not very big.

They aren't the most cooperative photography subjects for group photos, but I'm pretty sure I saw bumblebees, honey bees, and small carpenter bees.

I use Instagram primarily to follow quilters, who are primarily older and mostly women. A lot of them are relentless self promotion machines, as you would expect of small business owners who advertise through Instagram, so of course they are creating the new account Instagram has alerted them about. I'd imagine a huge proportion of new Threads users are the same, and their followers get notices about them using the new service. There is no way for Lemmy to do that.

I spend an inordinate amount of time tearing out Japanese honeysuckle where I live because it is invasive here. I didn't think it could do anything but take off no matter what you did. What's the other kind you have?

It's a forgiving cut of meat. You'll be fine.

I've had to sign waivers like that to take my kids to bounce house birthday parties.

That's what I'm doing, but I was using all to find new places to subscribe to before the spam started.

It was Marble Madness. I was terrible at it, so I mostly remember the first level.

I don't necessarily want to block them, but I wish I could mute either the community or the account posting it all

Sure, but a lot of users here are minimizing how bad it was, so I wanted to be specific about how explicitly hateful it was.

I saw a wave of the harassing spam they were getting right before they defederated. One was a meme about lynching drag performers. Another was a picture of an erection that was posted in what looked like every feminist and trans friendly space, asking if it was bigger than the ones owned by the denizens of the communities. I'm sure it was just a small fraction of what they were dealing with as more shitty little hatemongers find their way to Lemmy, but I happened to catch it by sorting by new at exactly the wrong time. I can't blame the Beehaw mods for not wanting to deal with the psychological toll that comes with manually moderating that kind of content.

I also have a goth orange cat.

The stuff I saw was worse than just slurs. One was a meme about murdering drag performers. Really hateful shit.

Less than an hour ago, I was reporting some pretty vile shit that was being spammed on some of their places I was subscribed to. It was a lot, all at the exact same time. If they are getting coordinated attacks like that regularly, I'm not sure I can really blame them for wanting to wait for the tools they need to keep it in check.

I wish the mom was in the picture because the difference is really pronounced.

It's still a baby, so hopefully it makes it.

We've always had groundhogs around, but only the usual brown ones until now.

I need to go reapply the anti-critter stuff to the hedge of highbush cranberry plants I'm trying to grow because he has been chowing down on them, but other than that, yes.

It really depends on how you interacted with Reddit. A lot of my engagement was with smaller subreddits that sometimes had user bases that weren't necessarily the most tech savvy. I'm not sure how long it took some of the older people on r/quilting to find it, but I'm sure it will take them longer to find the Lemmy version.

I live in a part of the country that imports shelter dogs from other places because our municipal shelters have so few (and almost all of the few they do have are pitbulls). We are fortunate to live near a large nonprofit animal welfare organization though, and they run a huge network to move unwanted dogs primarily from the South to rescues in the Northeast. They do charge about $500 for puppies adopted from them. It's less for older dogs, and they frequently have discounted adoption days to make space for new animals. They do all the initial shots and the spay or neuter along with treating other major medical issues they know about. We once fostered a dog for them that they were treating for heartworm.

They just want their animals in good homes, so it's not a hassle at all to adopt there. The application is very simple, they don't do home visits, and you cannot apply in advance. We've gotten all our current pets there, and I've been glad to support them.

I'm going to say The Last Starfighter. It's quite old at this point, and it's derivative of a lot of other things, but it is a lot of fun.

That doesn't look like beginner work to me! Very well done!

I installed naildown prefinished hardwood in the majority of my house. It was the first major project we did, so therefore the one we would live with the longest, and I wanted to love it and really improve the character of the house. Installing it really wasn't that much worse than cheaper click lock floors.

If you don't feel that strongly about it, LVP has gotten much better.

Thank you! I was really happy with it once I solved my frosting issue.

They think they are too big to fail and enough users will stick around up voting repost bots that it will be profitable.
