I felt like that last week at the farmer's market. I hate it.

single gay guys, what are your retirement plans? in c/askgaymen
[–] yool_ooloo 2 points 1 month ago

Thank you very much for replying. I agree about the part time job. I save religiously for retirement. I, too, hope and believe, I will have enough stashed away.

Guess I'm just looking for that 'care facility' now (for gay men). Which is crazy since I'm 50 and not intending to croak for a couple decades

Are there any other single gay guys (50+) out here?

I'm not looking for dating/relationship advice/offers.

I'm asking single gay men: What are your retirement plans?

Is there a retirement village where all the gays go to?

Right now, I rent in SF. I'm alone

Who was the biggest Karen you have encountered in Public? in c/[email protected]
[–] yool_ooloo 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My mother.

She was returning something on a slow night at Best Buy.

We did not make it past the tween greeter at the front door before she unleashed!

Mom went off. The way she was talking, you would think he, personally, did something to harm her. This kid was standing there, shrinking away, with what looked like his girlfriend standing next to him. He was a door greeter, had no control or decisive role in any way.

Of course, she called a manager.

I feel real bad for that kid but love embarrassing my mother by recounting that true tale to others.

Title I do not want a Microsoft account. Microsoft doesn't need any more info about me than they already have. Thanks

What's the coolest thing your library has available to check out? in c/[email protected]
[–] yool_ooloo 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That sounds so great. Do you know the device's product name? Which library do you get this from? I'd like to try it out in my library.

Does this have a name other than 'a wave'?

Looking at this makes me think of some pictures of the surface of the sun, teeming with all the roiling, explosive energy barely contained beneath the surface, and then this, a solar flare, erupts

Do you remember what your first ever favorite song was? What was it? in c/asklemmy
[–] yool_ooloo 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Talking post-Sesame Street/Mister Rogers/Electric Co. tunes

Circa 1983 on my first plane ride alone, aged about 10, from CA to GA, headphones plugged into the armrest with the ashtray inside: 'The Tide Is High' by Blondie was the first 'grown-up' song I recall that grabbed me.

Q re: New Yorker. Article online vs print? (self.asklemmy)
submitted 11 months ago by yool_ooloo to c/asklemmy

How can I tell which print edition of the New Yorker has the online article? Do all online articles appear in the print edition?

I read the online Interview with Justin Torres, loved it, I want the print edition to frame. The online edition says it was published 12/31/2023, I just can't find it in print.

What's the significance of calling it "Israel-Hamas War" vs "Israel-Gaza War"? (self.asklemmy)

I'm in the US.

I haven't discerned a pattern, by the media, in the titling of the horror currently underway.

I've seen Al Jazeera use both phrasings. I haven't determined that other media sites are hardlining their terminology either, but I notice the difference as I browse.

Maybe it doesn't mean anything, but these days people seem extra sensitive about names.

Born this day: David Wojnarowicz (1954-1992) (self.traditional_art)
 

David Wojnarowicz was born this day (9/14/1954). Artist in a variety of media, and hero to at least one freaked-out fa%%ot in the closet back in the late 80s/early 90s. Whether he wanted to or not, he gave voice and form to the absolute RAGE felt by a population that was dying so those that survived could create a better world for LGBT people. More. More. And this latest book of letters!

Relationship between Alexandrite and Lemmy.world ? (self.alexandrite)
submitted 1 year ago by yool_ooloo to c/alexandrite

Recently started using Alexandrite and am really enjoying the experience, but have questions.

I'm thinking of Alexandrite as the chocolate shell over my lemmy.world ice cream cone. Alexandrite is not an instance, correct?

I have not found a place on Alexandrite where my subscriptions (joined communities) are listed. Is this not yet available?

I assume that if I join a community in one (either Alexandrite or Lemmy.world) it will sync with the other. True?

I've joined communities in Alexandrite, but they don't show in the list of subscribed communities in lemmy.world. That just may take more time. Yes?

Thanks!

How many fediverse instances are you signed up with? (self.asklemmy)

Title.

Newbie, recently joined, 7/1/23.

Right now, I'm on three: Lemmy.world (my 'main' or 'home'), kbin, and Blahaj Lemmy. I'm looking at Reddthat and sh.itjust.works as well.

Just curious. I know most of the content will overlap, but there are differences in philosophy/moderator style, etc.

Do you like having ONE instance?

I'm loving Alexandrite as the Dove dark chocolate enrobing my lemmy.world ice cream bar!

From https://kottke.org/:

Elstob is a variable font for medievalists that based on types used by the Oxford University Press in the 17th and 18th centuries. Try the specimens page to play around with features like ligatures and the long s.

Unsuccessful at deleting lemmy.world account (self.support)
submitted 2 years ago by yool_ooloo to c/support

I have accounts on Lemmy.world and Blahaj Lemmy and kbin. I would like to delete my account from Lemmy.world as they are not defederating from Meta/Threads. Plus, Lemmy.world is huge and spreading things across the fediverse makes sense.

When I go to Settings and try to delete my account in Lemmy.world, I'm asked to enter my password, I do, the response is a 'Saved' message, but the account is still there.

I want to keep my instance on Blahaj Lemmy, just not my instance on Lemmy.world

There must be an answer that I'm just not seeing. Thoughts?
