I left NYC in '05. Does a slice of pizza still cost about the same as a subway fare?

What did Ubuntu do?
When my wife and I first got him he never barked. If he needed to go outside he would find his way to the front door and scratch. The place we were renting had an enclosed yard. He would go out out, do his business, come back, and scratch at the door. Yes, he was effectively blind and deaf but he found his back, unless…
There were leaves! The gardeners would push the leaves to one section of the yard and put them in the composting bin every time thay came.
If Butters ended up in leaves over two inches high he became confused. Most likely because it messed with his sense of smell. I rescued him many times from the leave pile.
Butters crossed the rainbow bridge several years ago. His last few meals were bacon.
He was adopted as a senior dog. He was a Deer Chihuahua which have longer legs and snout than a regular Chihuahua. He was adopted from a rescue group that deals with older dogs. They estimated his age to be about ten. Our vet turned out to own three of his breed and estimated his age was closer to 15.
He had partial vision in one eye when adopted but that eye soon became cloudy and he could only see light and dark. The vet basically said shit happens but I was so upset I went for a second opinion. Turns out he was old and shit happened.
I could type all day about him but I’m getting sad.
Mike D@piefed.socialOPto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•The Streets Are Alive With The Sound Of AnarchyEnglish4·6 days agoThe video is from the 1965 movie “The Sound of Music” which was based upon an earlier play.
While the movie is basically about personal relationships there is some anti-nazi sentiment at the end.
edit - this particular clip is from the song named “Sound of Music” from the film.

I’m over 50 and have came to learn I have ADHD through Lemmy. Reading all the popular memes and stories I realized that is me.
If I was diagnosed earlier I’m sure my life would be much better. I’ve been procrastinating on being officially diagnosed (and medicated) due to… ADHD.

Very much so. Ever had a misunderstanding while texting someone? The vocal emphasis is missing.
I would ask my ex a boolean question and receive an tangential string.

Colbert has been one of the people making others aware of hypocrisy. His show is not coming back next year because of him calling Trump out.

Decreasing sugar intake will reduce obesity and diabetes.
I know Mexico still has major issues.
I was getting my haircut and FOX was on the TV when I found out he died from the shooting. Barbershop is Vietnamese owned and the barber was busy on his phone when I get there. I’ve been there many times without FOX on the TV and hope they just put a random news channel on.
Fox was showing the reaction from various congress-critters and they got to AOC. AOC’s message was this another example of we we need some gun control in a much better way than I am relaying. When FOX went back to the host he immediately said she was wrong. HIPAA laws should be relaxed so problematic people could be found before they commit crimes.
