Bruh. My inlaws are Jewish, and they love Trump and DeSantis. It happens.

Same. :|

Apollo. Everyone in my house did. Two have stopped using reddit entirely, I’m still checking on a couple of communities until their counterparts take off here. I’m using Dystopia there now because I’ll never, ever download their shitty app.

I’m old enough to have smoked on a plane. :|

(Was probably around 1986?)

I was born here in 1970, genius. 😂 Back when the Valley was 213 area code. Did you even know that it used to be 213 and wasn’t always 818? JFC, some people. In & Out sucks, you spend more in gas waiting in their fucking lines than you save by eating their shitty ass fries and weak burgers. You’re acting like I slapped your mother.

Overrated anyway. I was born and raised in L.A. and there are a million better burgers to be found. Oh, and their fries really just suck. :|

We have very elderly mothers, and sisters with cancer, so my family still masks. I smile at people all the time, they smile back, everyone goes away feeling good. I don’t understand how some people get so worked up over masks. 🤦‍♀️

Covid is still around. It never went away, and it’s still killing people every day.

Take it from an Angeleno, they’re really overrated.

The hospital I get my care from here in Los Angeles still requires masks, and the security guard will make you put one on before you can enter the lobby. 👍

Yeah, it’s a bad, bad time to be a wild bird right now, or anything that eats them. The list of mammals who’ve died from it is growing, and sea lions are getting wiped out by the thousands. I think only Australia and Antarctica are still virus-free (for now).

It doesn’t keep me up at night, but I’m definitely watching!

It’s necessary where I live too (inland Los Angeles) and we also keep our thermostat at 80 all summer. The summer power bills really hurt, but we have to. We’re unfortunately not in a position for solar financially but I really wish we were!

“We laugh so we do not cry.”

I’ve been following H5N1 pretty closely for several months and one of the first things I did on Lemmy was set up a community to post news stories to. !h5n1_avianflu@lemmy.sdf.org

5 more of the deceased cats in Poland were confirmed today to have died of H5N1 for a total of 34 now. There was a report that one of the owners provided a sample of raw chicken that had been fed to the cats, and it tested positive for H5N1. This was almost immediately followed up by a very defensive press conference with the Polish government insisting it wasn’t true; Poland supplies about 20% of the European market for chicken. Make of that what you will.

That none of the owners got sick is great news, but no one should be breathing easy about what’s happening globally. :|

Upvoted for visibility! 🤪

Why oh why do I not pick up a book at bedtime instead of my phone.

It love the story too, it was really sweet in a way. I’m kind of surprised they never adapted it to film, but maybe Bobbin wasn’t the most charismatic main character for it considering you never see his face!

Wait, I have to pick one? No way! So:

Loom (PC) It Came From The Desert (Amiga) Wings (Amiga) Amber: Journeys Beyond (PC and the first game to truly scare the shit out of me) I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream (PC)

Off the top of my head :)

Guns are so cool. Everyone should be allowed to carry one anywhere they want. What could go wrong? Let’s thank this family for their sacrifice.

We didn’t get it until the beginning of the year and it laid the household low. The younger people recovered more quickly than us middle-aged ones did. I think it was about two weeks before I really had my energy back.

It only took one person to take their mask off to eat indoors one time to get us all sick and he was really pissed at himself. 😐 We still mask because we have elderly parents, cancer patients, and a transplant patient in the family, and really don’t want to infect them.

Glad you’re feeling better!
