I’m a systems librarian in an academic library. I moved over the Lemmy after Rexxit 2023. I’ve had an account on sdf.org since 2009 (under a different username), and so I chose this instance out of a sense of nostalgia. I do all sorts of fiber arts (knitting, cross stitch, sewing) and love dogs.
Could also be job postings to convince current workers that their overwork will soon end because the company is about to hire new folks. I’ve seen that theory floated to explain the “help wanted” signs at fast food places that never come down.
First person, introduce yourself. Second person, introduce yourself and first person. Etc.
Yeah. I remembered the topper: the horse people were totally coming back with shovels to clean up the dung but the homeowner cleaned up before the horse people could, and so it’s still the homeowner’s fault.
That’s how we got legless lizards.
I finally found a job that I enjoy and isn’t wicked stressful. I’m looking forward to going in on Monday to fix a bug that reared its head over the weekend. It’s lovely.
My previous job had little downtime, lots of deadlines, and paid more. I took mental health days a lot.
Current job pays 2/3 as much and I love it. I don’t call out nearly as often.
It’s like Facebook, but you only see posts from people geographically near you. Expect lots of lost pet posts, and drama over people not picking up after their horses when riding trails that have an easement over someone’s driveway, but oh noes the homeowner should get over themselves because they chose to live in a rural area so they should expect horse poop in their driveway and it’s good non-stinky fertilizer anyway, but oh noes etc. So much drama.
(not that I’m not still torn up about his death, but this is funny.)
My dad died in 2021 and I approve this meme.
It’s from OCHA’s daily brief.
I did math on this part of the report:
10,022 reported fatalities 2550 women 4104 children.
Subtract the children, you get 5918 adult fatalities. (10,022 - 4104=5918)
Edit: the “Data on Casualties” is, like I mentioned, slower to update. There’s a date filter–the fatalities listed are from earlier conflicts in the region, or in Israel or the West Bank.
Take a look at this daily brief put out by OCHA (UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs). It’s dated 6 November 2023.
Their “Data on Casualties” tracker is more detailed in its breakdown, but is slower to update (as noted on that page).
Edit: So, of 5918 adult fatalities listed, 2550 (43%) were women. It’s not clear to me at first glance if the remaining 57% are men, or if there are some undetermined folks mixed in.
Ohio is a perfectly nice place filled with perfectly nice people. Exceptionally, creepily, contagiously nice.
Are you suggesting that
Thanks for the clarification. It’s hard to tell these days and I don’t always have the spoons/mental bandwidth for it.
By “they elected Hamas” you mean maybe 15% of the current population? That’s a broad brush you’re wielding.
(Based on 70% of the population of Gaza being under 30 years old, meaning they’d have been 13 or under in 2006, when the last election was held. And Hamas got ~45% of the popular vote in the 2006 election.)
Congratulations! I’m wicked happy for you, Internet Stranger :) and hope you a smooth recovery.
I adore the little girl that did a doubletake when she saw I had bananas (and bags of popcorn and gummy candy). She went “O.M.G.” as she took a banana.
Fruit was surprisingly popular. I ran out of oranges and had to substitute in banana. And I think kids liked the popcorn because it comes in impressively big bags.
So their edit was made on kbim but not picked up by sh.itjust.works until after you made your comment? Maybe. I dunno. Lemmy is a bit of a black box to me sometimes.
You didn’t. Your post was edited, 4 hours ago. Their response was 2 hours ago, so they should have seen that edit before they posted. They might be on mobile and only see the “edited” indicator, not the “how long ago” note?
I know! It should be “hot diggity dog”.
