I avoid going out during busy times - e.g., rush hour, school zones, restaurants on a Friday or Saturday night.

I could make a solid argument for the '60s

Isn’t this pretty normal for a freight elevator?
klemptor@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What language courses did they have in your country’s schools?21·7 days agoFrench and Spanish only at my first high school (NJ), and French, Spanish, and German at my second high school (PA so the inclusion of German makes sense).

I wish Santa Amoroso would visit me!

klemptor@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What in your country/area is totally normal but visitors get excited for?10·10 days agoI love chipmunks! Such a big squeak from such a tiny body, plus I love their pointy tails :)
klemptor@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What in your country/area is totally normal but visitors get excited for?4·10 days agoYup I live right near the Brandywine. PA gets beautiful fall colors! They’re also great along the Delaware up near the Water Gap (but I’m biased because the Delaware is my favorite river) :)
klemptor@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Americans who live near state borders,how do you notice you've crossed the border?8·12 days agoThat’s strange, I grew up in NJ and our roads tend to be well maintained. It was kinda shocking when I moved to PA and the roads had way more potholes and skinny useless shoulders!
klemptor@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the worst change made in a movie adaptation of a book?12·13 days agoThe movie version of A Clockwork Orange was based on the American version of the book, which left out the entire last chapter. In that chapter, at 18 years old Alex pretty suddenly grows out of his violent and criminal ways and wants to start a family. Some say this ending is more optimistic but I actually think it’s darker, because it shows that any normal person you meet might’ve at some point been a wanton brute reveling in the chaos and pain they so arbitrarily inflicted. And that they can just move on and start living like a normal person.
klemptor@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•how hard would I have to beat a United Heath "doctor" who refused my MRI so they feel the same pain I feel right now?16·14 days agoI had a labral tear in my right hip, and I needed an MRI with contrast to diagnose it. Aetna wouldn’t cover the MRI until I’d done 6 weeks of physical therapy. I ended up paying out of pocket for the physical therapy because it was an $80/session co-pay vs their self-pay rate of $70/session. Then once I’d finished therapy there was about 6 weeks of waiting until I could get in for the MRI, because Aetna wouldn’t let me get an MRI at the local hospital, I had to go to an outpatient imaging center and they were booked up. And when I got the results - what do you know, near complete detachment! Something that physical therapy would never help with. After that, I consulted with a surgeon (6 week wait), and his waitlist for surgery was 4 months. (Granted, I went to one of the top surgeons in my area - I was OK with waiting for that.) So it ended up being 10 months from noticing the hip pain in May 2023 to finally getting the surgery in March 2024, and a lot of that delay was because Aetna was being obstructive.
I suspect they want people to get fed up with the roadblocks and just give up on pursuing medical care.
klemptor@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some Movies that School (including summer school or after school programs) showed you that you probably would've never watched otherwise? Did you enjoy them?3·14 days agoAh, we got the Robert Redford version. I had to google the dicaprio version because I didn’t even know it existed!
klemptor@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some Movies that School (including summer school or after school programs) showed you that you probably would've never watched otherwise? Did you enjoy them?5·15 days ago- For some reason we watched Beauty and the Beast in junior high
- In my grade 9 (or maybe 10, can’t remember) Social Studies class we watched Not Without My Daughter
- At the end of the school year in grade 10 we had those few extra days with no curriculum, and we watched Se7en (no idea how this was allowed)
- In grade 10 we saw Romeo + Juliet (I think it had just come out on VHS and we’d just finished reading the play in English class)
- Cool Hand Luke sometime in grade 9 or 10, don’t remember why
- Grade 11 we saw both The Great Gatsby and Othello in English class
I’m sure I’m missing some but these are the ones that stick out to me
Yeah, both prices I gave were for name brand (Quaker). The generic Aldi oats are just as good!
Only brand I’ve ever had is Oodles of Noodles, and I don’t even know if they still make that.

The results could bend realityEnglish65·15 days agoI’m huge into makeup, and I watch a lot of beauty content on YouTube because I want to see how certain makeup looks and performs before I buy it. This AI bullshit defeats the purpose of demonstrating makeup.

If they won’t allow women to be emperor, I wonder if sex-selective IVF will be the answer.
