It has the number of steps it does so that the pressure from the button holding your pants closed is evenly distributed over the fabric (and thread), so that nothing tears or rips. When sewing through cloth more points of attachment is generally better. You might be able to staple a button on without damaging the fabric over time, but it’s probably a lot less comfortable to wear than one sewn on.
Just attached a button to my pants yesterday, after the factory sewn button gave up.
Hm, I guess this is esoteric in the sense that most people aren’t interested in it?
Some clothes are made with what’s called ‘slub cotton’, which is cloth made from cotton thread that has irregular lumps jutting out of it. It gives the final woven fabric an interesting look, almost like static. If it’s done with bright or contrasting colors it can give a really interesting pop to the final item.
This. A lot of ‘making everything about politics’ is the reaction of people whose very existence been politicized by those in power.
Mindlessly shoving a paywall on every page on the site is both lazy and indicative of their priorities. Nobody has to do it purposefully for it to still be shitty and revealing.
On lemmy, a ban can be a few different things:
Like someone else said, clear as mud, lol.
Using this as a place to infodump because I just learned it: you know how haikus follow a 5-7-5 syllable pattern? For corridos every line is 8 syllables.

Not using Nazi terminology is free
Wait you’re telling me it’s Kickero? 🤯
In the long run, shutting up won’t save you from fascism. Every inch you give is a foot they take, and they will take and take and take if you let them.
If you’ve never wondered whether people living under dictatorships regret not exercising their rights more when they still had them, now’s the time to start pondering.
Check your local library and city/county department of health, they may run free or low cost group therapy sessions.
Deaf people already may learn to speak without that through speech therapy, although for most it’s not their preferred method of communication.
I don’t know how it’s changed in the modern day because the people I know who went through it as kids did it like 30 years ago, but it used to be common to hold a balloon against the throat while speaking to feel the different sounds you’re making.
Have you considered going outside and asking people your questions in order to only get answers from ‘mentally healthy’ people?
Honestly I’m thankful when someone puts the red flag above every comment themselves.
I mean, the Sopranos is all about people who hurt others for their own materialistic desires slowly losing everything, including their own lives. When it aired it just sort of had this problem among the American public:
I prefer Sandi Toksvig’s method: if you only know one word, make it “hospital.”
Our fridge is 12 years old and we’re just hoping it keeps chugging on 🥲 Four more years!
Without a body or even injuries and prosecution that depends entirely on proving a state of mind, you probably won’t find a jurisdiction who would give you the time of day with it. The juice isn’t worth the squeeze.
More perspective on how big it is: You can drive 12 hours and not make it out of California. And our rail system is pitiful, meaning many people don’t travel anywhere they can’t easily drive or affordably fly.
It’s a joke reference to The Exorcist, which features a child whose head spins around due to demonic possession.
The fact that in some instances the legal system does work according to the invocation of a magic phrase makes it so much harder to deal with the delusions of sovcits. The right to remain silent should be just that. You don’t have to say “I’m invoking my right to free speech” every time before opening your mouth for it to count.
