This has always bothered me about the bullshit pro-life argument. If life starts at conception, then clearly we're making people wait an additional 9 months to vote.

She was pretty fucking awesome.

North american here: I love Donald Duck. Lol. My mom used to a spot on Donald Duck voice to entertain us as kids. Told us he jumped out of the TV once and lived in her belly.

Absolutely my favorite vehicle I have ever had. My mom was disabled and we have had to use SUVs and pickups and vans my whole life, before anyone jumps me for the environmental aspect. But it was genuinely the nicest vehicle I've ever had. Loved everything about it.

Sweet! Always love making new esoterically minded friends. My main is @dharmacurious@slrpnk.net I'll message you from there

Mhmm, yup. We're a denomination founded around the "Jesus fish." During the reign of Henry the 8th there was a lot of controversy, because Catholics didn't eat meat on Friday, and Henry wanted to murder his wife. But the pope said that wasn't cool, because Henry wanted to do it on a Friday (so he could take the weekend to recover, y'know?), and the pope said that that fell under the whole no meat on Friday thing, since once someone is dead, they're more meat-like, and Henry said that he wasn't going to eat her, but the pope was like "still not cool, bro, do it on a Thursday" and Henry didn't take kindly to bring called bro by a dude in a dress, so he founded the church of England (then called the Church in England), and he got to murder his wives, but in exchange for not crusading against England for doing this, Henry agreed to the popes compromise that they could murder wives on Friday, so long as they also ate fish.

Well, when the US was founded, we really took that whole fish thing and ran with it. Started putting little Jesus fish bumper stickers on our carriages, branding them on our horses, the whole shebang. By the time the US split from England, though, there were no bishops left that would ordain American clergy, so we went to the Scottish, and they ordained us a few starter bishops to get us through the lean times, but by then there were enough disagreements between us as the CoE that we decided to just go ahead and change the name, and now we exclusively eat fish, and we're called Episcopalians.

Can we be friends? My best friend is also a former Baptist preacher who's now a daoist/nondualist. I'm a nondualist who's interested in daoism, and super interested in gnosticism (and occasionally an Episcopalian, especially on holidays ;) )

Bbc iplayer has an insane amount of stuff, not just bbc original productions.

Probably not to the same level of lane-correct-agressiveness, but my SIL's Volkswagen's lane correct is insane. The roads around here aren't great, and it will often detect random streaks or lines of potholes as a lane and refuse to allow you to avoid them. Once an elk ran in front of the car and when my brother tried to swerve to avoid the damn car fought him so hard we only narrowly missed it. And at other times when on roads with no lane markings at all it randomly decides that the road isn't the road, and that ditch over there is the lane we're supposed to be in.

All that said, it works great most of the time, and we just turn it off if it's acting hinkey

 

Hey, folks.

I'm not sure if this is a Jerboa question or a Lemmy question, but is it possible to (or possible to implement) search within a community?

For instance, on this community, I would have loved to have had a search field to search "search" and it only searched the Jerboa community, so I can make sure I'm not reposting something someone else has already asked. It would make it a lot easier to find information, especially in communities geared towards advice or niche information.

I'm not a techy person, though, so apologies if this is something very difficult to implement or a feature that's already there and I'm overlooking it.

Thanks!
