Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Has Trick-or-Treating died in your area, and what is to blame?
1·2 days agoThe point is that All Hallows Eve is a Christian holiday, and that it isn’t comparable to Halloween in any way, because the “let’s dress up in costumes and eat way too much candy while watching scary movies” holiday and the “let’s go to the cemetery to put candles on Grandpa’s grave and honor our ancestors” holiday play very, very different roles. And guess what? Observing one doesn’t mean you have to completely discard the other.

1·2 days ago- I wouldn’t exactly describe that as “fun” or something that cheers me up.
- not everyone is Christian

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why don't cars have a way to contact nearby cars like fictional spaceships do?
8·2 days agoA touch screen interface in a car is a TERRIBLE idea. Yeah a passenger could do it but only if there is a passenger in the car in the first place.
I really dread the possibility that these people will eventually become engineers, doctors, achitects, and so on. The exams exist for a reason.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you think school uniforms are a form of authoritarianism?
1·2 days agoYeah I kinda figured out it’d have been that.

31·3 days agoIt’s still forcing people to wear something they don’t want.

62·3 days agoYep. They also seem to completely ignore neurodiverse people; I don’t know what I’d have done if my school had uniforms.

2·4 days agoHalloween is fun and I’m glad it has arrived here. The commercalisation of it is another subject for another post, but the concept of kids dressing up and asking for candy is great. Besides, with the nights getting longer and the days ending way earlier than they should, an Autumn holiday is very nice.

17·4 days agoCreepy houses are exactly where you should go on Halloween. Damn kids only caring about candy and not the spirit of the holiday!
“well you can always adopt”
As if adoption wasn’t an extremely intensive process that goes on for who knows how many years and even then it’s not guaranteed you’ll actually get the kid. Let alone how much it differs from DIY.
Hi. When is the last time you talked to a woman? Your mom doesn’t count.
That car is also very likely to make a kid never grow up in yet another way.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do people get rid of or sell stolen jewelry? I ask cause the news says the the Louve thieves can never sell it because it so known?
1·12 days agoThe value rarely is in the jewelry, but rather in the jewels themselves. So, if you had stolen, for example, a gold ring with a big diamond, you’d take out the diamond and either sell it as-is, or chop it into smaller diamonds and sell them, and probably have the gold smelted back into raw material again. From what I know, it apparently is common for gems (especially very valuable ones) to be given as gifts or traded and fitted into new settings, like rings, necklaces, crowns etc. over the course of centuries, not just stay in the same piece forever.
What I think is most likely in this case, is that some rich asshole wanted to have them for their private collection and hired someone to steal them.
You can also use a chive leaf as a straw. It’ll affect the taste, but it’s fun to eat it afterwards
The difference is that here the characters appear to have chosen poverty in order to embrace a simple, ascetic lifestyle; they are not forced into it by circumistances outside their control, or at least the artist makes no effort to imply so.
don’t even do a good job cleaning them.
yeah, if they’re shitty ones





that’s buny
