saltesc@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned?3·2 days agoYou’re right. Could literally design anything and people that know nothing about any of it could figure it out quickly. But instead, a salad of sex preferences, gender, race, kink, specific US cities, all appearing to be under the Intersex insignia.
It’s always seemed so bad to me that it’s more likely to be done by an anti-woke troll or someone like Michael Scott discovering Pride Month.
It’s just offensive. Obviously to the eyes, but also to any group being shoved together within its borders.
grab item, close pantry, wonder how many times this has happened before, blank out memory once again, go back to cooking

I bet that buttoned collar shirt has never seen Cheetos dust either.

But hey, here I am replying to this comment from my AI powered pants zipper, so…
saltesc@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned?122·2 days agoThey all sprung up in that period where flags were trendy. Every little camp had to have one to feel like a singled-out tribe—and, no, this isn’t just kink flags. This meant many would be flag designers overnight.
The result is there’s some really fugly designs out there in the wild now and the idiots can’t go back. But most people are over flag phase now, so you’re unlikely to ever see this and most others out in the wild.
Nothing fails more at its job than a pride flag that people have no idea what is. It’s almost irony.
And is this one ugly? Oh, yes. Enough to turn a person straight.

saltesc@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•There’s Good Posture, Bad Posture, and Golden Posture12·3 days agoHonestly, if we’re gonna be this bad on our bodies, we may as well just lay down and have monitors above us as the norm. It sounds unhealthy, but only because we’d be admitting to ourselves how unhealthy we’re already being. So we may as well take care of our skeletons over the hours and days and weeks and years of the same shit.

Just ask the locals around those parts, not the US media outlets.
Iran is actually quite insular and highly defensive. Historically (modern) not very offensive compared to most other nations known for involvment in conflicts.

saltesc@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•JD Vance gets suspended from Bluesky 'just 12 minutes after first post': reportsEnglish121·3 days agoIt becomes very fatiguing. Especially when the same article is posted in several places.
To make things worse, it’s a trash article. It’s literally just quoting another article. So it’s bot scraped, bot written, title generated with zing and spooned to idiot cohorts on places like this, simply to garner traffic.
There are a lot of simple users on Lemmy, though they’d hate to admit it. But we have this post in this community with those comments, soooo… GG, big brains 👍

They tried to block off not only self repair, but third-party firmware that made the tractors work better, especially older ones that were out of warranty.
That’s straight up a major federal crime in my country. So that should give Americans an idea how balanced their scale of justice is at the moment.
The consumer and supplier ALWAYS get equal and fair protection, lest a business becomes based on ripping people off with product instead of the product itself.

Haha, good one.
Women are just as bad. It’s not a gender thing, though there are the old stereotypes you mentioned
My experience is women are very unclean if they don’t think it will be noticed or on display. Cleaning is more for appearances with little influence from hygiene or being organised. Men seem to do it out of necessity only, it’s not the bare minimum, but the state of something can be left longer, like a pile of clothes not being big enough to deal with yet. But there are those that can’t survive without their mothers.
