I wouldn’t call it hardcore necessarily. I’m on lemmy because I walked away from reddit when they shut down api access to third party apps. I haven’t had any other social media since I got rid of facebook in 2013 when Edward Snowden dropped his info. I just don’t want it, to be honest. Facebook was a little hard to give up because it was the only way I stayed in touch with some folks, but honestly the important relationships survived. And all the rest - instagram, tiktok, twitter, snapchat, et al - don’t really appeal to me. Especially short-form content, which I find extra annoying.

And horses!

Bob Dylan - Hurricane (which actually became a movie starring Denzel Washington in 1999).

Haha you beat me to it!

Also Wilson Pickett had 634-5789

I don’t think tattoos have been about rebellion in a long time. It’s just art for your body.

You can consider it a filter. Anyone who can’t understand you not drinking on a first date probably isn’t compatible with you. Not because of their drinking preferences but because of their unwillingness to respect your choices.

Yup I loved baconreader!

Is all my brain and body need

Something like a Barcade or axe throwing joint

Do people still say that?

Billy Idol! I’m not sure how many times I’ve seen him, at least 8 but probably more like 10-11. Two of those times I got meet-and-greet tickets so I’ve got two pics of me and my husband with Billy and Steve Stevens :)

A hundred percent. I love alone time and I know exactly what kind of socializing I’m up for, so I’d be an easy person for me to spend time with. I have the same interests as me and the same taste in food too. It would be cool to go get a pedi together and then get a bit day drunk (or day buzzed, anyway).

I actually love this idea. How make happen?

I committed to sleeping in a silk bonnet every night, and my hair is so much nicer now :)

You thinking EDS?

Agreed, but it’s lox :)

Don’t forget the capers!

I wore a Blossom hat to school. I had just started junior high and it was like the third day of the school year. I had this brand new crushed velvet hat with little pink rosebuds and I was so excited to wear it. I paired it with a satin floral vest, a pink turtleneck, and a pair of stirrup pants, as was the style at the time, and strutted into school knowing I was stylin’.

I had no idea there was a rule against hats, and in homeroom, in front of everyone, my battleaxe of a homeroom teacher yelled at me: “Who told you you could wear a hat?!” To which little timid me said “… my mom?” And she yelled “You know you’re not allowed to wear hats in school, take that off right now! I don’t want to see it again!” And I almost fucking cried.

Thanks for embarrassing me in front of everyone, Mrs. DeFilippo.

Are you the same young German dude who has made similar posts to this under alts a bunch of times already? I feel like I started seeing these months ago.

I actually love that because you can add your own color with paint, throw rugs, furniture, etc. It allows you to start from a blank canvas.

For contrast, my parents’ house has one bathroom with a mustard yellow toilet and yellow-and-white floor tile, and another bathroom with an avocado green toilet and matching shower enclosure. These were put in by the previous owner and date back to the '70s. They’re in perfectly good shape, so my folks don’t want to replace them, but it does force them to decorate those rooms with complementing colors, and they will never not look dated.

Agreed, but if it said “Make it so” I’d totally be on board.
