The image features a drawing of two characters from the Winnie the Pooh series, walking away from the viewer. The larger character, resembling Winnie the Pooh, is wearing a red shirt and is walking on the right side of the image. The smaller character, likely Pooh's friend Piglet, is wearing a red shirt and is walking on the left side of the image. They are both walking on a path that appears to be in a forested area, with tree trunks visible on the right side of the image. The background is a simple, light-colored sketch, giving the image a hand-drawn appearance.
Above the characters, there is a quote in black text that reads: "War is when your government tells you who the enemy is. A revolution is when you figure it out yourself." The text is centered and occupies the upper portion of the image, contrasting with the lighter background. The overall style of the image is reminiscent of classic children's book illustrations, with a focus on simplicity and a warm color palette.

Every time I see mention of Guam, I think it might be nice to move there. This time I took a serious though not detailed look, and I gotta say I like the idea. Kinda like Hawaii without the rampant tourism from the looks of things? Been to Hawaii, and quite liked it, everything cost more, but manageable, especially if'n you had the option of shopping in Honolulu, and avoided Oahu.
Anyone recommend some good resources, or want to answer questions? Mostly wondering how the costs stack up compared to Missouri, taxes look like they'll drop, housing will be a bit higher, not sure about the rest.
The image is a black and white cartoon depicting a scene inside a store. A person is standing behind a large desk, wearing an apron, and talking on a phone. The desk is equipped with a computer monitor, a keyboard, and a telephone. The background shows shelves with various items, suggesting a retail environment. The person appears to be responding to a customer's inquiry, as indicated by the speech bubble at the bottom of the image. The text in the speech bubble reads: "I'll tell you the same thing I tell everyone this time of year. I'm sorry about your firework accident, but we're not that kind of 'Second-Hand' store." The cartoon humorously addresses a customer's request for second-hand fireworks, implying that the store does not sell such items.

The image is a pie chart with a title at the top that reads "Where ALL Your Cool Internet Friends Live." The chart is divided into two segments. The majority of the pie chart is black, representing "Fucking Narnia or some shit," while a very small sliver of the pie chart is light blue, representing "Within road trip distance." The legend on the right side of the image provides a key for these segments. The background of the image is white, and the text is in black, making the chart and its elements stand out clearly.

I made this after watching and loving centaurworld. Opossums are my favourite animal so here's my centaursona haha. I would definetely be a trash centaur.
I love pizza, I mean really love, as in I could live on pizza and coffee as my only foods, and I love trying new combos. Aldi is a great source for this, while they don't carry many pizzas standardly, they often have special buy pizzas, and those can get really interesting, like this one that I thought was just a BBQ chicken pizza with a fancy title.
So I toss it on the pizza stone, ready to cook it up for lunch, and... Is that corn chips on there?
Check the label, yep, it is. Well that's new, and actually not bad, adds an interesting crunch to the pizza and pairs well with BBQ chicken. I think this is one of my favorite pizzas, frozen or fresh, but unfortunately I have no idea who makes it, Mama Cozzi's is a house brand, they relabel the source brand, sometimes without even changing the packaging other than removing the original brand, and in this case, this is not something I've ever seen here in #STL .
The image shows a round, uncooked pizza on a wooden pizza peel. The pizza dough is topped with a layer of red tomato sauce, followed by a variety of toppings. The toppings include shredded white and yellow cheese, green bell pepper slices, crumbled ground meat, and yellow corn chips. The cheese is unevenly distributed, with more of it concentrated in certain areas. The corn chips are scattered across the surface, adding a crunchy texture. The green bell peppers are chopped and spread out, providing a pop of color. The ground meat is browned and appears to be seasoned. The pizza is placed on a floured surface, indicating it is ready to be baked. The crust is thin and uncooked, with a slightly raised edge. The overall appearance suggests a homemade pizza with a mix of textures and flavors. β The image shows a package of pizza from Mama Cozzi's Pizza Kitchen. The package is predominantly green with a red label at the top that reads "Mama Cozzi's Pizza Kitchen." The main text on the package is "BBQ SMOKED CHICKEN PIZZA" in large yellow letters. Below this, the ingredients are listed: "BBQ SAUCE, SMOKED CHICKEN, MOZZARELLA & CHEDDAR CHEESES, GREEN ONION AND CORN CHIPS." It also states "ARTIFICIAL PRESERVATIVE FREE CRUST" and "MADE WITH REAL CHEESE." The net weight is listed as 18.10 oz (1 LB 2.10 OZ) or 513.1g. The nutritional information per 1/4 pizza is provided: 350 calories, 6g of saturated fat (30% DV), 800mg of sodium (35% DV), and 9g of added sugars (18% DV). The package appears to be sealed, with condensation visible on the plastic, indicating it is refrigerated.

Having maintained a few food manufacturing plants, we get contracts with specific processes and QA standards and put their labels on them. It could be made anywhere at any time.
@πππππ π³οΈββ§οΈπ¦ Yeah, sometimes you can identify Aldi's source when its a cheaply done special buy, prolly someone's overstock (that's what a lot of their special buys are), as its their package with the Aldi brand on it, or some of the more unusual stuff is identifiable simply because one or two companies make that combo.
I think the Trader Joe's brand people use Aldi for stealth product testing. I have gotten some stuff that was almost exactly the same as a TJ's sort of product with different fillings/flavor. They show up for a week and then no more. Usually frozen stuff.
@Mark Wollschlager Technically they're the same company, Aldi US is owned by Aldi SΓΌd in Germany, while Aldi Nord owns Trader Joe's, so it wouldn't surprise me if'n they're coordinating their some of their buying.
@π΄ Seph π πΎ Can confirm on his ability to live on pizza and coffee. ;) Luckily, he caters to my inability to do so. I like pizza, but nowhere near the extent he does. I am drinking more coffee now too, (still nowhere near his consumption). MtnDew on the other hand. ;)
Even when used as a monitor for your Mac, an LG or Samsung smart TV will periodically capture what's on screen and send it to company servers. Here's how to stop that terrible behavior.
Pipelines supplying Russian military explode in Russia's Far East
The damaged pipeline provides gas to several #Russian #military facilities on the coast of the Sea of Japan, including the 155th Marine Brigade of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Armed Forces, the source told the Kyiv Independent.
The water pipeline destroyed in the explosion provided drinking water to military garrisons in the area.
Explosions near Russia's Vladivostok damaged a gas pipeline and destroyed a water pipeline that supplied military facilities in the area, an unnamed intelligence source told the Kyiv Independent on July 5.
@Xoa Gray Normally when I use a phone, that's not really a problem, outside of calls and texts, when I do something on the phone, having a specialized app is fine, as long as it does the job well. Back when I had a Galaxy, I could never get into Samsung's desktop mode as I have a very specific way I surf the web with how I divide content across tabs and move between them, and on Android your forced to use apps for some of that content. Don't get me started on smart homes and smart devices, no thank you.
My big issue is when an app is used where it's only purpose is data collection. Or like where it doesn't make things any better. Take my scooter for instance. You can't unlock the full speed, or change some settings without specifically a smartphone app. I hate this. I want the settings available on the scooter. I don't want the smartphone to be the control panel for every devise I own. That isn't to say i hate there being an app. I just want it to be optional.
@Xoa Gray Yeah, I definitely agree there, that's why I hate the smart home stuff, there's no good reason for it, a computer in your fridge? Or better still your washing machine, no extra functionality, just tracking.
Yeah, not to mention when things go wrong. I'm reminded of that time some company, I forget which at the moment updated their microwaves with firmware for a toaster oven. It broke tons of Microwaves. Just because someone put a file in the wrong place.
Edit: Here it is, it was Electrolux. They accidentally pushed steam oven firmware to Microwaves.
The image features a black background with white text. The text is formatted in a bold, sans-serif font and is divided into several lines. The headline reads "BREAKING: The Catholic Church enrages MAGA β twenty bishops just signed an interfaith letter stating that Congress members who voted yes on the Big Ugly Bill 'are a moral failure for American society as a whole.'" The text includes emojis: a pair of hands clapping and a red "100" symbol. The final line reads "Nothing less Christ-like." The overall layout is simple, with the text centrally aligned and occupying most of the space.

Now that the Big Ugly Bill has passed, what to do now? I've a lot of rambling thoughts, but the shortest and most important? Anti-consumerism, not just because we're going to be a lot poorer thanks to this, but because the economy is built on us using the few pennies the rich give us to buy things they tell us we need. Lets all spend our money, what little they give us, wisely, and do everything we can to avoid giving any of it back to them.
The image features a graphic design centered around the theme of "West Coast Secession." The background is a light, textured gray. At the center, there is a black silhouette of the states of Washington, Oregon, and California, representing the West Coast region. Surrounding this silhouette is a circular arrangement of alternating blue and green stars, creating a border effect. Above the silhouette, the text "WEST COAST" is prominently displayed in bold blue capital letters. Below the silhouette, the word "SECESSION" is written in bold green capital letters. On either side of the image, there are silhouettes of a creature resembling Bigfoot, with one raising its arm in a rock-and-roll gesture. The overall design conveys a sense of unity and movement, with the elements arranged symmetrically around the central map.

The image features a social media post with a dark background and white text. At the top, there is a circular profile picture of a cartoon character with glasses, covering his face with his hands. Below the profile picture, the username "austerity is theft" is displayed in white text, followed by the handle "[@]wideofthepost" in a smaller font. The main body of the post is a block of text that reads: "Once you build a massive 'deportation' machine, an industry really, it will not stop with one category of immigrants, or immigrants at all. It will self-perpetuate new classes of people to detain, to fill detention beds and meet removal quotas. It will create a meal to feast on." The text is centered and occupies the majority of the image space.

Oh come on, had to use that headline, even if'n we're just talking about my accounts. For the most part I'm on the Fediverse, although I am also on Reddit and Tumblr.
For those that remember my last post about this, I got rid of my Diaspora, the idea was for it to serve as an easy bridge between Tumblr and here, since Friendica doesn't thumbnail Tumblr post usually. Diaspora does that, until it doesn't, plus sometimes posts on Diaspora wouldn't properly display here, so that was rather pointless. These days I just throw the memes up directly here, however there can be some lag if'n I forget to make a new post, and then I need help with alt text and @Altbot isn't entirely reliable ( @Micr0byte ), such as giving me alt text in the wrong language, or not at all. In fact today it managed to give me no alt text, but to message me and tell me that I should add the alt text to the image.
Here I have four accounts, this one, @KΔpitan which is the admin and occasionally posts server, admin or moderation commentary, @Recalls which posts all the recalls I can find, and finally @The Taur Nation which is devoted to posting centaur, lamia, naga and related artwork links and occasionally artwork, rated from G-R18G, content warninged as necessary. Here there be questions, things about my life, and politics, though we do try to make sure they're properly tagged so you can make them go away.
If'n you don't like the politics, try my Mastodon, @Taurnsndhaus Admin , originally planned to be a back up in case something happened here, its boosting general content from here, occasionally original posts, so long as the post fits in a single tweet. Any politics that show up there will be local, St Louis, St Louis metro or Missouri, nothing national.
Like politics? Then my Tumblr is for you, here I post the most interesting and/or important stuff I find there, but I boost a lot more over there. Not much original content over there, despite how much I like it, I just tend to forget about it.
And lastly Reddit, which is mostly content I can't find here on the Fediverse, r/StLouis and ones related to my car (r/ChevyBolt) or my gig work. If that stuff starts showing up on the Fediverse, I'll start moving away from it.
The image features a cartoon-style illustration with three characters: a man, a woman, and a child. The man is in the center, wearing a brown suit with a black tie and a pipe in his mouth, smiling. The woman is on the left, wearing a red shirt and a purple skirt, also smiling. The child is on the right, wearing a blue shirt and a green skirt, holding a black object in each hand and smiling. Above them, in bold red letters, is the text: "It's not prejudice if you call it religion." Below the child, in a speech bubble, is the text: "God told us to hate you!" The background is a simple gradient of blue, suggesting a clear sky. The image is credited to BettyBowers.com, with the copyright year 2015. β The image features a woman in a pink outfit with red trim, her hand over her mouth in a surprised expression. The background is white with a black banner at the top that reads "Religious Freedom" in white text. Below the woman, various phrases are listed in different colors, each accompanied by a biblical reference. The phrases include: "Beat your slaves! Exodus 21:21," "Silence your women! 1 Corinthians 14:34," "Dislike your Jews! 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16," "Obey your slavemaster! Ephesians 6:5," "Desert your family! Mark 10:29," "Hate your wife! Luke 14:26," "Stone your children! Deuteronomy 21:18-21," and "Marry your rapist! Deuteronomy 22:28-29." At the bottom, there is a statement in white text on a black background: "For when your country becomes more enlightened than your god." The image is a critique of religious teachings, using a mix of colors and fonts to emphasize the phrases.
