I think you need to get your Haribo from somewhere else, they're generally a pretty pleasant level of gummy. The only time I can remember them being hard is when they're super old.
Well unless you're getting whatever their version of sports mix or mini gems is called, which are supposed to be hard gummies.
Oh hey, who's this spider in the corner of my house
House spider
Oh okay.
You can't guarantee you are able to delete anything you post publicly to the internet anyway.
Once it's public, web crawlers can take a copy of it, entirely independent of any kind of federation.
There were several sites dedicated to letting people "undelete" Reddit comments, for example.
I agree with you if you can put your phone in a pocket.
However as a counter-point: a lot of women keep their phone in a bag where they wouldn't necessarily feel it vibrate because women's clothing often doesn't even have pockets, so I can't really say they should mute their phone notifications.
I have no idea why chat apps default to making a sound when messages arrive and are sent when the screen is on though—that's entirely obnoxious, no excuse for leaving that enabled
Right wingers believe everything should be up to the individual, you should get no help from anyone else. Typically with the ironic championing of corporations over people.
Left wingers believe we're stronger if we work together in the public interest.
Healthcare is just one small slice of the political pie, which is such an obvious human right that only the fascist fuckos you have over there think it's up for debate
What did you shoot the picture on?
What happens if you pull the image into an image editor?
Well I've gotta say I'm pretty hyped for this and I only just found out about it
I'd say most RTS games I can think of can be played with just a mouse
Older diablo-like ARPGs didn't really rely on the keyboard too much IIRC, the modern ones do tend to rely on the keyboard a bit more
If you don't mind older games, basically the whole genre of point and click adventures is this by definition
Seems like a good idea, but I worry this will be used as part of an excuse to close more community post offices
I thought the same, until I unfortunately realised they're not talking about the image we think they are
One visitor titled their review "disappointed doesn't cover it..." explaining: "On reflection, I think I may have been expecting too much. My disappointment in not finding street sellers, either side of the road, selling cheap t-shirts and merchandise was a surprise."
Wait people actually want the tat sellers?! Did they ever stop to think it would ruin the photo spot if that were the case?
They added: "It's just a zebra crossing and you'd save yourself some money by just standing on any of the millions in the UK and just photoshopping the background in."
Why travel and take photos at all? You can just Photoshop anything in
What is wrong with people
Yeah, you're completely right, I was more going for not impossible, but it's even more luck than I realised
Well, impossible to do with certainty.
But people are paid to try and do it at investment banks, and with enough outsider knowledge they can often get it right
Of course that's practically just gambling at a much greater scale
I was about to say, the only place a warm seat is welcome is in Japan.
One day, you will not have the luxury of choice

If you get enough you can put them on a rotation
How's Friday treating you?
I finished work a bit early today, went for a walk, met a friend at a newly opened pub, watched the football with a few pints and just got back home.
Another fun Friday to put into the box of fun Fridays

End of an era as Radio City tower hosts final live broadcast on Christmas Eve | Liverpool
It is known across Liverpool as the Radio City tower but that moniker may not be around much longer as the structure hosts its final live broadcast on Christmas Eve.
Microphone cables are being bundled up and heaving contacts books packed into boxes, leaving empty what is arguably the most famous building of the city’s skyline – St Johns Beacon, to use its proper name.
Built in 1969, originally as a luxury revolving restaurant that was one visited by Queen Elizabeth II, the tower was listed Grade II in 2020, with Historic England describing it as “embodying the technological bravura and spirit of the space age”.

What would you add/change for next time
I know I could do with a sweeter red vermouth
Uefa warns England could be banned from Euro 2028 over regulator concerns - BBC Sport
www.bbc.co.uk Uefa warns England could be banned from Euro 2028 over regulator concerns
Uefa warns ministers that England could be excluded from Euro 2028 over "concerns" that an independent football regulator could mean "government interference".
Uefa has warned ministers that England could be excluded from the European Championship it is co-hosting in 2028 over "concerns" that a planned independent football regulator could lead to "government interference" in the sport.
A bill to establish a body to oversee the top five tiers of the men's game in England was reintroduced in July.
The UK government has said the football watchdog will "protect clubs" by "ensuring their financial sustainability".
But in a letter sent to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and seen by BBC Sport, Uefa general secretary Theodore Theodoridis wrote: "We do have concerns remaining... as normally football regulation should be managed by the national federation.

Rocky start, but we’re here! also making this almost an hour late due to the rocky start # What’s Canvas? Canvas is a collaborative pixel canvas similar to Reddit’s r/place, except it is open to (almost) the entire Fediverse! The event is going on from July 12th 4am UTC to July 15th @ 4am UTC (72 ho...
So canvas is on again this year! We could try and be a bit more organised this time if people are around
I've not started anything yet
Why aren't there adult only flights?
Honestly, I will never wrap my head around how people can happily bring infants on any flight where you can expect people to try and sleep, it's incredibly lucky if they don't spend some of it screaming their heads off—I would be mortified if my choices were preventing hundreds of people from sleeping. But I'm not going to rant too hard about that.
Why on earth hasn't any airline started marketing adult-only flights?
It seems like a complete no brainer to me, I would choose it every time and pay extra for it.
Disclaimer: I may or may not be on a 36h day with only an hour of sleep right now

Wasps: One Year On. Getting There
www.wasps.co.uk Club Announcements
It has been 12 months since the administration event that saw WASPS relegated from the RFU - and that was the day that we planned our return. You will know our journey through the fit and proper process of the RFU and the difficulties we faced on funding and acceptance to enter the Championship.
As someone who's been a wasps fan for decades, this is finally some positive news after what has felt like a very long silence!
Now I wonder where the ground they mention is going to be
Which is the best entry in the series?
Let's kick off some slightly low effort content here:
Which is your favourite game in the series?
For me it will always be between Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert.
I think the story of TD is what pulled me into the series in the first place, and RA on Westwood online is what cemented me as a fan
Can't subscribe to a lemmit.online community
Hey, I've been trying to subscribe to [email protected] for a couple of days now and know the drill about searching it first and waiting for it to sync, but it doesn't seem to be doing the job.
It looks like other lemmit.online communities seem to work fine, but this one seems to stubbornly refuse to show up.
Is there something I'm missing here?
Simple old Lemmy community bar customisation (updated again)
UPDATES BELOW
So I browse on the desktop using the mlmym/old.lemmy client (e.g. http://old.lemmy.world) because old habits die hard.
One of the many things I found myself missing from RES & Reddit was the ability to customise the community bar at the top of the page to contain some links to my favourite communities. I had a spare minute this morning to throw together a userscript for just that:
Here's a pastebin with the script. Create a new userscript in tampermonkey (or whatever userscript plugin you use), drop the code in, change the array of communities at the top to be the ones you want prepending to the list, and you should be good.
Make sure to add the server suffix to any communities from other instances and if you want to use this on another instance other than lemmy.world, just change the match rule in the userscript header comment.
I didn't host on greasyfork as I'm probably not going to make any further changes, and I'd need to
