This looks almost exactly like an Alfa Romeo SZ
Currently I’d recommend Vernissage over Pixelfed. The former is actively developed while the latter is stagnant.
I’ve been a Pixelfed user for a few years, but I’m in the process of migrating to Vernissage after seeing how responsive and attractive it is as a platform.
You can export all your data including photos you post, but not sure about individually.
Yeah, don't get me started on that. The developer of Pixelfed is extremely easily distracted. Every time a promise is made to focus on the Pixelfed improvements or bug fixes, the following day he's working on something else. I feel guilty for complaining, because it's free and he's essentially a solo dev, but when users are being told one thing and they see something else, you tend to lose confidence. He's done amazing work, but there's a lot to iron out that hasn't seemed like a priority for a long time.
Yeah, I had the same experience, then saw more and more photos on my feed coming from vernissage.photos and had another look. Yeah the HDR feature and EXIF info is great.
Pretty old apple tree in the garden which produces hundreds of not-great-tasting apples every year looks like it’s in a bit of a state. I had to cut back a weird branch that had been cut before, presumably because it shot out horizontally, and there’s a ton of rot.
It’s not in danger of hitting any buildings if it ever does fall, although could maybe take out a distracted child or two if I’m lucky.
Is there anything I can do to save it?
Sure, she’s got a niche. There’s plenty of other satire available if you’re not a fan. If it’s a grift, it’s not exactly harmful.
I’ve watched plenty of absolutely basic comedians entertain a crowd in my time, but I don’t wish they were all Stewart Lee.
Residents of other countries criticising American politics is entirely acceptable, given their massive influence on the global stage. My fucking fuel prices are obscene at the moment, and that’s a direct result of the current regime’s arrogance and incompetence. And my gripe is absolutely trivial compared to many other less fortunate recipients of US foreign policy.
I’ll take a simple protest comic over the latest bullshit headline coming from that shithole country every day of the week.
Haha I deliberately added “my mirrors” to that sentence. It was too much like low hanging fruit for me.
Ooh I did this last month too, after somebody accidentally smashed it off my parked car. To be fair, instead of driving off, she came to the house all flustered and I said "look, these things happen, it's just a car" and although she offered to pay for it to go to a garage, I thought I'd have a crack at it myself. Got a generic replacement from eBay, but the most frustrating part for me after finally getting the door card and the interior trim off, was finding that the bolts that attached the mirror unit to the A pillar were some weird-looking things I'd never seen before.
I'm no mechanic, so I took the car to Halfords and said "I need a bit for this bolt but I have no idea what it is". The guy came out to look at it and said "Yeah, not sure if we'll have something for that". Then he went, "Actually, maybe we do" and I followed him to the back of the shop where they were selling this huge toolkit for about £1k, and he went through it and found the right bit, in amongst the hundred other tools in this box.
I said "I don't suppose you sell this separately!?" and he laughed and said, "No, but come to the till".
We wander off to the till and he goes "Do you want to buy these microfibre cloths for £2.99?". I'm thinking, what the fuck is he on about, and he must have read my face, smiles and goes "You do". So I say yes, and he wraps up the bit in the microfibre cloth and hands it over.
What an absolute fucking star of a man.
Anyway just as a bonus, after spray painting the mirror cover (the eBay one was just a primed thing), I message the woman to say all sorted, and she asked me how much it cost and I said about £70 for the mirror unit, bit, and spray paint, and the next day she knocked on the door with an envelope with £150 in it "for my time" and a card that said "Thanks for being so nice about it all".
10/10 would let her smash my mirrors again.
😂😂😂
This is almost exactly the opposite of what I was saying, and it’s a very telling interpretation.
No, I have no concern for the other men I was “competing” with. Why would I? They have absolutely zero bearing on my own successes or failure. If one of them got the girl, am I supposed to be mad about it?
As I said anecdotally, the majority of my friends met their partners on an app. There is no “I got mine”. I gave advice on what worked for me. The literal basics, widely acknowledged, that apply online or off. I’m not sure what other advice I’m supposed to offer in that respect that shows I “have empathy or concern for the other 79 men” that you’ve mentioned.
I’m also not sure what you’re talking about with regards to my concern for “the other 77 women”. Who are they? People who didn’t match with me? That’s fine - if someone’s not into my profile, then that’s okay. Do I have to be concerned for them somehow? In what way?
People have their own successes on the apps. Nearly 20% of UK adults under 50 met their partner on an app. That’s current partner - not all partners. The percentage who met anyone is higher.
To be honest if this tone is a reflection of how you talk to people online, then it goes some way to explain why you might not being seeing success on dating apps, presuming that’s the case. Try not to assume the worst.
It snapped and wound itself back inside the mechanism inaccessibly, and I became the freak wandering round with a belt attached to his dog, trying to make it home before his trousers fell down.
Took this photo this morning while having breakfast at the Lake Vyrnwy Hotel in Powys, Wales, which has incredible views of the lake.
