Just to suck the life out of this (yet another) hilarious vignette, did you know, according to the data gathered by defenders.org, in the United States more people are killed by cows than wolves?! The UK-based theconversation.com has a webpage advising how to stay safe around a killer herd!
Workers of The World…Relax!

I’m back. Didja miss me?
Have to politely disagree with Mr Ager’s analysis/conjecture. While I may concede that some abuse may have happened in Alex’s childhood, there’s no solid or even implied link to either parent being the abuser. Unfortunately, people hang for such circumstantial or presumed evidence. I’ll generously grant Ager that there may have been sexual abuse on the part of the law (Deltoid, police) and if any case may be made regarding the parents’ culpability, it possibly would be their turning a blind eye to the presumed sexual abuse (there’s a legal term for this but it escapes me at the moment).

Really? You need to see a (max.) 64px sq image of something to engage?
Here. Use an Invidious link instead of Piped. Best of both worlds: it doesn’t link directly to privacy-ignoring YouTube and (usually) will show a post thumbnail image when linked to from Lemmy.
If you all will excuse me, I’m gonna engage in the linked analysis of A Clockwork Orange.

One of the internet’s biggest secrets hiding in plain sight. The VHS Vault: now celebrating their 7th year of curating color bloom, drop-outs and questionably legal content, all in glorious 720×480 NTSC video! 🤣
All kidding aside though, thanks, @minnix! 👍 There are some definite gems amongst the…uhmm…non-gems?

When was the last time you had USD$10B? Next you’re gonna defend Mackenzie Scott’s hard-earned USB$34B, I suppose.

Indeed. Now she has only ca. USD$11B left over to survive with. She can buy only five, possibly six Sentinel ICBMs.

What’s everybody getting so perturbed about? Geez. Isn’t this just like when an ethnic group uses an ethnic slur within their own circle? 🤣
admitting homosexual men into seminaries
Ooh, like that’s never happened before in the entire history of the Holy See. 🙄

@minnix@lemux.minnix.dev, it’s one of my favorite movies too! ❤
The Terrible Secret of Mulholland Drive
I’m not a big fan of YouTubers analyzing Lynch’s works but I felt this one fills in the gaps in the film’s popular dream-logic “explanation”…
like the film’s continuance after the main character’s death, which always stuck in my throat.
It’s a little long, around an hour, but if you can overlook host Rosseter’s terrible David Lynch impression, it’s definitely well thought out.

I should know better than to ask but…
What kind of image are you uploading to a lemmy instance that’s eight meg?
Famously (depending on your definition of “fame”) the only Roger Corman film that lost money.

“What do you know about brains?” Hilarious! 🤣
Why? Is there more than one kind?

Does anyone speak hairdresser?
No. Not even hairdressers speak hairdresserese. Like drummers, hairdressers/stylists/barbers will all appear as if all their attention is 100% on your description but they are thinking about something within their social circle (hence the real concern on their face). Like drummers, if there isn’t some kind of natural affinity between you and who cuts your hair, you will never get what you’re looking for.
That said, many clients haven’t the proverbial “faintest idea” of what actually works for their face shape and stylists, if they’re not suffering too strong of a hangover 🤣, do try to work within those confines.
You can only go in with your remarkably clear and detailed description —still open to interpretation as your hairstyle is not an airplane fuselage, with precise measurements and tolerances—in hand and still hope for the best. Apologies for the length of this reply.
DISCLAIMER: my ex-wife was and still is a fine hair stylist.

It’s a valid idea for posts with original content. With all the pearls I cast before swine, I probably should at least put a CC-BY-ND license on my—ahem—humble screeds.
If you’re suggesting this becomes a part of the UI, unless you know how to program I’d say get in line.
I don’t know (because I don’t really care) if over in the Lemmy laboratory they’re working adding an email-like automatic signature option but if so, you could always add your license of choice as a signature. Ciao!
