I use my smartphone to keep my book open when reading at a table. It does a pretty good job there.

Don’t limit yourself to technical uses.

I kinda feel like this is unfair to Krusty…

These films are meant to be a fantasy escape from real life. They are not meant to be realistic or to show any real struggle. They are supposed to show you a beautiful dream world including the big and real love and an otherwise carefree life.

Can someone please stop this evil witch on spouting her opinion in public? Stop giving her hate a public platform.

This is good advice. Just because you are family doesn’t mean you shouldn’t involve a lawyer.

Ha. It didn’t play the video for me and I thought it’s a screenshot just of the band.

After watching the clip on BBC I totally agree with your Monty Python reference. Context is everything.

This is a traditional southern German brass band in traditional clothing.

How is this any weirder than Scots in kilts playing the bagpipes?

If you can afford it, yes you can do this. You are allowed to live and work anywhere in the EU.

But if you also need a job to feed you, its more difficult if you do not speak the local language and have not learned something useful.

But from the residency law you absolutely can pack your bag and move to Germany tomorrow as an EU citizen.

Helpful. Im glad you had something meaningful to contribute to the discussion.

If you don’t trust their security why would you even want to use them and trust them with your money?

But before Google there was nothing to search. You had to know exactly where you wanted to go and one type left you nowhere. I remember when we got dial up around the mid 90’s my dad told me I need the exact web adress, or it’s not working. Wild times.

It’s pride month, so I’m watching LGBTQ+ stuff.

I watched a very interesting documentary ElDorado: Everything the Nazis Hate about the gay and trans community in 1920’s/1930’s Berlin and what happened when the Nazis took power.

And for some more lighthearted fun, Glamorous about a gender non-conforming queer person making their way in a glamorous MakeUp company. I super enjoyed watching Miss Benny as the main character and would really like to see more of her.

FAA Certified drone pilot in the USA here. That’s wild. In the US it’s illegal to shoot down an aircraft of any sort

That’s even wilder to me, since you have several states where you are allowed to shoot anyone trespassing on your property, but a drone, who can record and video and infringe on your privacy is illegal?!

That’s like prime capitalism. Human lives are worthless, but don’t damage my property. What?

Why do memes always have to be funny?

Yeah, I wasn’t sure about how to differentiate it. English is not my natural language.

I disagree about using “cis” in this context though. I wasn’t sure how much of the effects are hormonal and if it is the same for trans men. And its also true for non binary and genderfluid persons. So cis seemed to exclude many.

I got curious and looked into it and there were some helpful comments too. It turns out it’s mostly about the estrogen. So this means cis women, xx-chomosome non binary and gender fluid people (as long as they are not substituting hormons), trans women on estrogen and trans men who do not substitute testosterone.

So that would mean instead of “biological women” it would be “hormonal female” I guess, or what is the correct for that?

Interesting. I wasn’t sure if it gets harder for trans women, when they are on estrogen. Do they loose the abs?

As soon as you know too much about a certain topic, any movie or series about it turns to shit.

I’m a nurse and badly done medical stuff in movies are so rampant and it drives me crazy.

While gaming tokens do turn up in the collection plates of Las Vegas churches, those churches (Catholic or Protestant) don’t all send them out to a “nearby Franciscan monastery” for sorting and redemption by designated “chip monks.” Churches generally accumulate gaming tokens until they each individually tab one or more of their workers to take the chips around to casinos and redeem them for cash.

It is true that one church in Las Vegas, the Shrine of the Most Holy Redeemer, once had a Franciscan friar on staff who made the rounds of casino cages and thus, in the fashion of the joke, he was dubbed “the chip monk.” Church Employees tasked with handling chip redemptions at various Las Vegas-area churches are sometimes also referred to as “chip monks” in furtherance of the joke, but they are neither real monks nor are they employed by monasteries that sort and redeem the tokens.

I guess, because its very hard for biological women to get abs like that. The muscles are just different. Not impossible, but way, way harder then for men and therefore quite rare.

And we all know, its very scary for bigots to even look at trans people. They might have to wash their eyes with soap now.

If you have superglue on your hands/skin cooking oil works quite well. Maybe it works on tour sole as well?
