i haven't gotten into a single fight with a mod in nine months! it's wild

definitely don't use heat if there are any leather components

use mesh laundry bags, otherwise the laces are going to get all tied up with each other. it would honestly probably be best to take the laces out and put them in their own laundry bag. put the insoles in separate mesh laundry bags as well, the shoe is going to change shape during this process and you're going to fuck up any foam insole.

wash on cold, with a little soap. you can put a quarter cup of white vinegar in the fabric softener tray, that should help with odor. if your machine has a hand wash setting or a delicates setting, go ahead and use it.

there's really no need to dry them in the dryer, you definitely do not want to put the insoles in the dryer. you can put the shoes in there with no or low heat if you want, and add like a cloth bag of baking soda to the dryer with it. you could just dump a little baking soda in the shoes before putting them in the dryer, but putting them in a cloth bag give some more even, controlled application. if you're using any heat, I wouldn't give it more than 20 minutes. you'll also have to prop something up against the dryer door because they will smack into it and force it open. definitely don't use heat if there are any leather components

Barnum & Bailey literally hired a former CIA deputy director to perform psyops against organizations like Greenpeace and PETA. they intentionally fucked those groups up so badly that the assholes became the face of the movement, and it's never been undone

lol I asked my mother to explain this one to me when I was 5

it's like when my vet says I have to wait 2 hours because they had an emergency that they "get all the time".

what

aids is a great way to lose weight though

that has nothing to do with why I asked that question lol. if you have to investigate every single one that shows signs of life, that would mean investigating a lot of worlds before you find any with intelligence.

oh god. my first girlfriend's dad showed me his gun collection the first time I visited the house and I got so absorbed in field stripping his MAK-90 that I forgot she was there

nah if you open up just insulting all the people around you, I don't owe you reading the rest of your post.

i think it's required to be lax. the laid-back nature of Lemmy is essential to its soul

people having a stick up their ass about the letter of the rules as opposed to the spirit of a community was one of the worst things about reddit. if you want mods who act like cops, stay with reddit

it is, however, the reason Emeril Lagasse yells BAM!

apparently he used to be a culinary teacher and he would do it to wake people up.

it's price washing. they can talk all about how people who can't afford this $20,000 drug can get it for $5 and make themselves look great, but the process is difficult enough that not enough people do it to cut into their bottom line.

i was told 1337x refused to take down torrents that contained crypto miners, which is why it's not a truly trusted source anymore. it should be fine for video and music, but I'm not downloading video games or anything that might contain an executable.

and if life is as abundant as we think, how are they going to tell the difference between intelligent and non-intelligent life

it's literally impossible to exist without doing that

yo FUCK that tank.

seriously though, I think life on other planets probably just usually evolves underground, so even if they develop some sort of intelligence they're not looking up at the sky so they have no motivation to explore beyond their atmosphere no matter how advanced they get.

there was a planet in The hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy universe that had thick cloud cover so that people never even conceived of an existence beyond their planet. when a spaceship crashed there, it never even occurred to them that it might have come from the sky

your paragraphs complaining about it are a lot more annoying than the people who might not be being totally serious on the internet for a minute.
