Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Well kiddo, back in the day when we wanted to watch a movie we would burn a DVD, and we don't want to burn the turkey because it's disrespectful to the bird - plus we try not to burn food in the kitchen

I wasn't prepared for my son to be my literal mini-me. The amount of items this kid has lost because his head is in the clouds all the time....

And the memories of my parents telling me to get my head out of the clouds comes rushing in every time lol

Same about the mini-me thing. Honestly was completely blind sided by how much we have in common. He's only gotten a few nominal traits from dad so far, the rest is like 80% me. He brings back so many memories of my childhood, and I've gotten.... "new perspectives" about my own parents.

I fully realize I might sound like an ass here, but... do people really, genuinely still have DVD players? Or is it just a turn of phrase, like "dial a number" or "rewind a video"?

[–] mycatsays@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago

I prefer to own DVDs than pay for streaming, when possible.

worth mentioning the average Lemmy user is more tech savvy than the average person, so these answers may be a bit biased

My cousin put a sandwich into my parents new VCR player as a kid. Sadly it broke the VCR player.

That kid is going places, finding new toasters!
