Can you elaborate on why? Genuine question. It seems like if the alternative is also not getting what you want, then there isn’t much to lose?

Cool. So since she’s a member of the house of representatives, she must have initiated proceedings for impeachment, right?

Edit: I am happy to see that she did (or rather joined in with Al’s), and it served a useful purpose of highlighting what posers the rest of the Dems are with their resounding votes against.

Yeah, I ask because I’d really like to start moderating or contributing to some type of community that is very popular outside of Lemmy but not currently on Lemmy much. Art seems like a good one. Cooking too potentially. I wonder what would bring the most new visitors to Lemmy?

What interests in particular do you think aren’t well represented?

Nice, that’s pretty cool. Like I mentioned in my other comment though, I’m less concerned about getting this functionality for myself, but more about how to most easily distribute it to as many Lemmy users as possible so that it becomes a part of the service itself - just because I feel like that kind of feature has benefits for the whole community as it is more adopted.

Yeah very true! It’s just too bad that then it wouldn’t be a core/universal feature, but I agree it makes the most sense on the client. I just wish it was possible to make it more universal, since this seems like a feature that would be useful to average users, but selecting clients based on these features seem more like a power-user level of concern. I suppose that would just be a matter of clients all copying useful features from each other if it gets popular.

Many interesting takes in this thread. The biggest thing I want to add here is that this type of neckline is actually not designed for larger breasts. Large breasts would pinch and bulge around the sides, which while maybe desirable in a purely sexual context like for lingerie or pin-ups, is not usually considered desirable from a fashion standpoint. These curved flat necklines are meant to emphasize the natural curvature of small breasts. I see this sort of shape often on runways and models with smaller breasts. (Granted, that body type is the norm for runways. Nonetheless, it means that’s not a concern.) For instance, these similar dresses are both modeled by women with similar body types: https://www.prettylittlething.us/black-diamante-strap-detail-puff-ball-dress.html https://www.lucyinthesky.com/shop/aila-rhinestone-babydoll-dress-in-black-64892

So the issue here is not your body, but I think you are correct to think something is off with the dress. You look good in the dress, which is all most commenters are checking for, and that’s a good bar. I agree it at least looks flattering, but from a fashion design perspective, it could be improved (I say this not as a fashion professional but as a fashion nerd who spends too long looking at runway shows and analyzing clothes). The positioning of the neckline itself on your torso is a bit too low, not because it’s revealing, but because that sort of neckline typically is positioned about level with the armpits, but on your dress it is lower. This makes it look like it’s a child sized dress, just with strangely long straps that allow it to hang low enough on an adult to cover their hip area. Do you see what I mean? The straps are about a third of the height of the body of the dress, but normally they are about a fourth or less, I think. This could work so far, if not for the depth of the cut in the neckline simultaneously being too shallow. If that cut was deeper, down to the belly area, then it may make tiny, low-worn aspect of the dress seem intentional (see this dress by Schiaparelli https://pin.it/PO7V3jtHg), but because the cut looks like a typical summery dress depth, it reinforces the feeling that the whole dress is just being worn low. I have an urge to tug the dress downwards from the back so that, like a pulley, the front moves upwards.

No offense to your husband or the other men commenting, but, of course they like it - it’s showy and it does fit you well. But this is only the minimum bar for a dress to clear. Models could look good wearing a potato sack, but that doesn’t mean a potato sack is a good dress. Luckily your dress looks a lot nicer than a potato sack! Whether I’d keep this or not depends on how demanding you want to be with your wardrobe. It looks very good, really. Much better than the average dress, and the whole outfit is lovely and very iconic looking. But if you’re the type of person who wants to own only a few outstanding garments, this does not clear the higher bars of great design, in my unprofessional opinion. I think that your doubts about the dress may be coming from you picking up on that and mistakenly attributing it to yourself rather than the design.

Yeah, that was a critical quote. Undeniably he is saying that black people should be sterilized.

Yup that seems to make the most sense to me. Guess we’ll just have to check in on that account in awhile. No news articles on it yet.

Yeah basically my exact thoughts. Glad I’m not alone in that interpretation!

Very interesting. I don’t use Bluesky and I’m trying to verify the accuracy of this information. Does anyone else find her account strange? 8 hours ago she posts this terrifying message. And…3 hours ago she posts a totally chill introduction? Isn’t that backwards? And she seems to have an awful lot of followers for just these two posts. The name seems legit from a quick search, tied to a lawyer indeed. But I’m kind of surprised people aren’t more freaked out in the replies - isn’t this the first known instance of a citizen being targeted for deportation? But it’s mostly jokes from responders. And her post chronology is confusing to me still. Maybe someone can help clarify/verify.
