Please do not drag the same tired jokes over from reddit (e.g. broken arms). Stick around long enough to learn Lemmy’s tired jokes.


Man I knew you guys did siestas; I didn’t know you all donated your kidneys once a week.


So cool. I wonder how much it cost to make them.
US already has an orange overlord. I can’t recommend it.


I don’t have any pics, but I’ll link you this list of artists using recycled materials, and you’ll have a good time if you Google that phrase.


I do shipping fulfillment for my brother’s business and at least 60% of the boxes I use are just reused from stuff getting mailed to us. I reuse all kind of stuff for packing material, especially xmas/birthday wrapping paper.
Colorful paper packaging can be good for collage art.


Ted Lasso rule: Be curious, not judgemental. I try to give people the chance to explain themselves. I assume good faith. Even if I’m pretty sure I’m right, I allow for the possibility that I’m not or that I’m missing some relevant information.

!52weeksofart@lemmy.world. Because it just started and needs contributing artists.
Was among a group of temps at a credit union. Employees were so busy, we got very little training. And spent large parts of our day with nothing to occupy our time.
After a month, supervisor walks by at end of day and asks how things are going. I say something to the effect of “could be better.” He looks surprised and says “OK, let’s discuss that tomorrow morning.” I think great, we can problem solve.
The next day turned out to be the three year anniversary of my boyfriend’s death. When I sat with supervisor and trainer and they said how are you, I let them know that I was a little emotional due to it, and started to cry a little.
Supervisor proceeded to reem me out for saying something so negative yesterday in the hearing of coworker and accused me of making a bunch of mistakes (I didn’t and had already provided evidence that I wasn’t involved) and that I obviously didn’t care about my work and that I needed to pack my things and be escorted out of the building.
In conclusion, I hope that guy spends the rest of his life with wet socks.


A moron’s vote for Harris counts the same a genious’ vote for Harris.


It’s a feature, not a bug.


I’m scheduled as an election observer for the Democrats. I hear my local office has way fewer volunteers for this election than the last one.


Your numbers indicate 0 Americans standing up to this bullshit, which is just false. I get you’re frustrated. So are we.


Probably doesn’t answer your question completely, but I’m a big fan of the phrase "my understanding is . . . " In other words, this is what I “know” as fact, but I’m aware that my knowledge could be wrong or insufficient and I’m willing to be corrected or updated. I use this phrase almost any time I’m asserting something as fact, as a kind of cya.


Was at a church yard sale yesterday and they had the same setup. Pretty sure it was not a progressive church.


I’m not even going to try to type the name of this one. It’s Estonia’s contribution to this year’s Eurovision and it makes me happy every time I hear it.
Apparently the chorus translates roughly to “Why no, officer, those are not our drugs.”


So those polled voters indicate what they want in a poll. Yet those same voters elect (choose) the politicians (their representatives who speak for them) who want something different.
By that logic, everyone who votes for Harris supports Israel’s genocide against Palestine. Voters make the choice they feel is best out of what they’re given.
It is beautiful. I have a bunch of cheap frames on the wall and im constantly swapping out what’s in them for my latest paintings. It helps you see the progress of your work, and if you hate one of them, it’s good incentive to create more so you can swap it out.
