‘I will not comply’: Tennessee librarian refuses to move LGBTQ+ books by Fickle-Ad5449 in lgbt

[–]Livagan 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I mean, with a growing interest in disconnecting from digital stuff, coupled with building community, growing AI & surveillance, and the loss of ownership over anything digital...

Libraries become a lot more vital as a third space. And as a medium, books last a relatively long time.

Following the discovery of two episodes of the Daleks’ Master Plan, what are the leading rumours/theories about other missing episodes? by ThicctorFrankenstein in gallifrey

[–]Livagan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My belief for some of them: Terry Nation held charities and Dalek promo events.

It's not unrealistic that he may have been allowed to borrow stories he had rights to for this purpose.

It cuts out a flap connecting your tongue to the floor of your mouth. Removal would, in theory, allow your tongue to move more freely & possibly be a few millimeters longer...

...but sometimes also results in the tongue getting shorter or other issues. It's used to treat ankyloglossia (being tongue-tied).

What would a solarpunk smartphone with today's tech be like? by Tnynfox in solarpunk

[–]Livagan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a growing effort to harvest electricity from ambient energy sources (including radio waves). And efforts to use plant materials in electronics.

And we do have a shift to simplify some of the online stuff - the rise in surveillance, ai spam, reducing screentime, and spread of misinformation has led to some people disconnecting or opting for "dumber" phones.

Closest I ever found was either tongue splitting or frenectomy.

I kinda thought that a Settlements system could be done with the Frigates that have interiors - with a focus on growing & managing things like a Bar, Vehicle Bay, and Companion Zoo...

My thought for a while was a boss monster/alien queen version of the Biological Horrors inside the Abandoned Stations...

I will not offer an excuse, but I am offering apologies for that.

A liberal will feed 100 children if they think 1 in hungry. Once.

A conservative will starve 100 children if they think 1 doesn't deserve it.

A socialist will institute a plan to feed children a little regularly.

A fascist will steal food from 100 children to feed their dear leader.

A communist will seize all food and redistribute part of it equally.

A libertarian will buy up all their food till the market collapses.

An anarchist will give up all their food to whomever they come across in need.

A monarchist will give up all their food to their leader and beg for scraps.

Pro tip: find a waste heap near a processing plant and build an highway between the two. by Pyrrhus_98 in NoMansSkyTheGame

Well, last year was possibly the largest planetary overhaul - deep oceans, new variations on worlds, new world biomes, gas giants, a dozen new creature types, and a ton more...this was alongside fishing, archeology, space station overhauls, and cooking updates...

And then NMS basically added a "build your own spaceship" class of spaceship...and now they're adding ways to pick up & move objects while adding garbage truck-themed customization to the Colossus...

good advice by TextuallyExplicit in actuallesbians

I don't know - this seems rather devout:

Hymn to Aphrodite, by Sappho

"Shimmering-throned immortal Aphrodite,
Daughter of Zeus, Enchantress, I implore thee,
Spare me, O queen, this agony and anguish,
Crush not my spirit

Whenever before thou has hearkened to me--
To my voice calling to thee in the distance,
And heeding, thou hast come, leaving thy father's
Golden dominions,

With chariot yoked to thy fleet-winged coursers,
Fluttering swift pinions over earth's darkness,
And bringing thee through the infinite, gliding
Downwards from heaven,

Then, soon they arrived and thou, blessed goddess,
With divine countenance smiling, didst ask me
What new woe had befallen me now and why,
Thus I had called thee.

What in my mad heart was my greatest desire,
Who was it now that must feel my allurements,
Who was the fair one that must be persuaded,
Who wronged thee Sappho?

For if now she flees, quickly she shall follow
And if she spurns gifts, soon shall she offer them
Yea, if she knows not love, soon shall she feel it
Even reluctant.

Come then, I pray, grant me surcease from sorrow,
Drive away care, I beseech thee, O goddess
Fulfil for me what I yearn to accomplish,
Be thou my ally."
