This is far too small and standard British working class to be a McMansion. I do love that sub though. There’s one on lemmy too: !mcmansionhell@sh.itjust.works

I’ve only seen bows on chairs at wedding receptions. Not my taste for a wedding. Definitely not my taste for my dining room.

It’s baffling isn’t it?! It looks like a decent sized space but it would be so depressing to sit in!

Love, laugh, WASH.

It’s a Christmas miracle! 😉

I’m not very tech savvy, but I’m a mod of some fairly large communities hosted on feddit.uk. Can someone ELI5 what, if anything, I need to do to keep my communities up? !badrealestate@feddit.uk is the one I’m most keen to keep going.

Is that his real nose?! I’m not American and try to avoid watching or looking at him. It looks like his septum has worn away or something.

Do you know what the sand from elafonissi beach (Crete) looks like under a microscope? It really does look pinky when you’re there, and I was told it was because of a certain type of seashell that made up the majority of the top sand. I was a kid though, definitely could have been lies.

I thought this was c/justguysbeingdudes (or something like that) but I’m not sure it exists here. That was a great sub.

E: it does it exist! Dead but it doesn’t need to stay that way. I’ll cross post: !justguysbeingdudes@lemmy.world

Is there a c/cursedcomments here yet?!

I’m overly annoyed by that mirror placement.

Sorry, I confused myself and thought you were replying to a later comment - I thought you were asking how people would have guessed JK Rowling and JK Galbraith were the same person.

I think it’s fair to say Robert Galbraith-Heath is an (in)famous psychiatrist. I remember his name from my student days. As for her purposely using the name of a conversion therapist as a pen name in order to… be more homophobic? That seems like a bit of a leap to me, but idk her bigoted views in any real depth tbh.

And I looked up the other name before I realised I’d confused myself and found there was a famous JK Galbraith too, according to wikipedia He sounds like a bit of a dick too. Sorry for the confusion, I need sleep.

Can you think of another author who uses JK before their surname? It would have been a pretty big hint as soon as people realised JK Galbraith didn’t exist.

It’s British slang for a convict or prison term. It’s not very common now, but “old lag” used to mean a habitual criminal. No idea of the etymology though - maybe related to a lag (in time)?

😢

Most wedding bands are gold aren’t they? Gold isn’t magnetic and can be worn for MRIs. As can titanium piercings. I have one in the cartilage of my ear that’s stuck. I’ve had multiple MRIs on my knees with it in. I still call bs on that persons story though.

Seconded. I’d love to own this but there’s absolutely no way I could afford it. It’s beautiful - and I get the starry night vibes too!

I got 21 but feel the same as the examples you gave. I’m very good at “putting on a show” when it comes to socialising - I can easily be the life and soul of the party but it is so fucking draining.

The DWP ignored reports that linked the suicides of 600 disabled people to them failing “capability assessments” in just a 3 year period.

And yet Jeremy Cunt and the rest of the tories are targeting the sick and disabled once again with their “back to work scheme”. Fuck those arseholes so much. I used to say I wouldn’t wish lupus on anyone, but Tory politicians might just deserve it.

I love my iPad for many reasons - especially with Apple Pencil and procreate - but yeah it sucks for pirating. I didn’t realise how used to shutting down 6 new pop up windows every time I touched the screen I had become until my mum got one and I tried to teach her how to use pirate sites. After she called me in a panic about “the cartoon pornography I’d infected her iPad with” I gave up and signed up for an IPTV for us to share instead. It’s got a really decent vod library that’s updated regularly so it will do the trick for now.
