I can tolerate Mariah, the one I can’t stand is the band aid one, patronising crap. Every damn year I gotta put up with those muppets telling me how nothing ever grows in Africa. Dammit, now I have it in my head!

Iowa? I hardly know 'er!
2·2 days agoI got my ears vacuumed the other day at the ENT clinic. Unfortunately I’m one of those people that gets a lot of wax build up. Copying the grown ups using cotton buds to clear the wax just meant I was constantly getting ear infections as a kid. As an adult, I’d get wax build up, I’d try olive oil as my GPs would always recommend, only that would make it clog up more and muffle my hearing. Then the only way to get that big plug of soggy wax out was either to fish it out with a bit of screwed up tissue or a cotton bud, or to blast it with the power shower to dislodge it.
I finally perforated my ear drum in September from an infection that went to the middle ear. Anyway, I got my ears vacuum cleaned on Thursday and was told by the ENT doctor to use a pharmaceutical grade olive oil spray (not drops) every day forever to stop the wax clogging. So let’s hope that works.
I think I was given peroxide based ear drops once when I was 12 or so, but it made my jaw swell so much I couldn’t even eat.
It depends on where you are, of course. Here in the UK, the Murdoch press is a massive influence.
Where Rupert Murdoch? I’d put him as even worse than Bezos.
4·5 days agoI have chronic ear problems, and I’ll usually get someone telling me I should try ear candling. Luckily they stop when I tell them to look up the videos of people using the candle with a jar and getting the same “wax” extracted.
I’ve had a black screen of death on Mint. All I was trying to do was crop a video on kdenlive. It black screened on me and somehow even messed up the boot menu so that my Mint was showing up as just Ubuntu. I went straight back to Shotcut after that. I really wanted to switch from Windows to Linux, but so far, Linux, or at least Mint, really hates me. Up till recently, I was still using Mint for my music storage, but it has trouble even moving files onto my phone now. I’ve pretty much given up.
I thought the term was trumpanzee, but then I suppose that’s insulting to chimps.
The fact that she gets so butthurt every time it’s brought up just makes it sweeter.
Fun fact, Monopoly was in fact plagiarised from the Landlord’s Game, by Liz Magie, which was actually against monopolies. And now it has a monopoly on the format.

I prefer Anti-Monopoly.
8 years? Phhht. Liz Truss wants you to hold her lettuce.
I can confirm. I use Mint and I don’t understand it.
Right? As an example, when I switched to a plant based diet in 2014, if I wanted a vegan pizza or vegan doughnut, for example, I’d have to make them myself or seek out a specialist shop. Now these things are mainstream, even small supermarkets have them, Lidl even has vegan weeks every couple of months. That was unimaginable 10 years ago!
My actions back then did nothing alone, but it was the slow trickle of others cutting out animal products that added up and created this demand. And one person setting an example can encourage friends and family to give it a go.
I’ve been getting those warning emails for like two years, maybe more. Probably more actually. I just ignore them, my photos still work even if I don’t use them anymore.
(Sorry for a screenshot of a lemmy post.) Just a reminder that the woman who lost to a lettuce thought that cancer patients should all be left to die if they can’t go private.
They also provided allowances (ie social welfare) to those who were too ill or old to work.
They tried that over here with Brexit. Those darned immigrants stealing our jobs (while also just living off benefits, of course). EU citizens were like, screw this. They left, suddenly farmers were faced with their produce rotting in the fields, because guess what? The Brits don’t actually want to do those jobs.
So what do you think happened next? They had to allow special visas to lure immigrants back in.
Meanwhile, the gammons were still raging that immigrants lower wages because they’ll work for less pay than UK citizens.
I bought a few junk vinyls just because I really like the texture. I was touching one on the tube home and my friend told me later I was causing visible distress to the man opposite.
UK here. I’m part time, I earned about £1k last month, and my National Insurance was £3.93, my income tax just under £10. 🤷🏽♀️
