It's like an orange on a toothpick!

That's the spirit!

Some instances also offer an "old Reddit" UI called mlmym. For example:
old.lemmy.world
oldsh.itjust.works
mlmym.lemmy.blahaj.zone

If the team is going out to lunch to celebrate a special occasion, then a single drink has always been fine in the teams I worked with. I don't partake anymore because it makes me really sleepy in the afternoon.

I worked at one company that hosted a weekly happy hour. I was one of the employees who took turns setting up the kegs in the common room, and pouring drinks during the event. That was a fun place. The extra social time really improved some working relationships. And we got a surprising amount of productive work done just by talking for an hour or two while standing around sipping microbrews and wine.

After all, you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.

It's a Lord of the Rings reference. Here's an explanation:

It's nothing new. The WPA was created in the era of political machines and the Red Scare. Early on, opponents worried that Roosevelt was creating a nationwide political machine run by far-left radicals.

It's a code phrase to identify other Redditors in real life. If you ask someone, "When does the narwhal bacon?" they answer, "At midnight." Then you both know you are part of the cool secret Reddit club.

It started in this thread. A user was bored at an airport and tried to identify other traveling Reddit users for fun.

Hey, no cutting in line. I was here first.

So anyway, I prefer a family within an hour or two of a ski area. It's not a deal breaker, though. References available upon request.

Stand on the tracks to summon the train.

Chin up, mate. Your ship will come in some day.

And my axe!

Sometimes I miss the ol' switcheroo. That was a fun way to take a random walk through a bunch of communities I would never normally visit.

Wait, you guys have trains?

It happens to the best of us. Don't forget that Lemmy allows you to edit your post.

It appears that Lemmy usernames are case-insensitive. So it should not make a difference.

Those five accounts were self-deleted within 2 hours of you making this post. Somebody noticed that you caught onto them.

I briefly looked into the remaining accounts you mentioned. Their voting patterns look very similar, but I'm not convinced they are colluding. It's easy to imagine multiple users having similar opinions.

Your account name cannot change, but you can make your display name whatever you want. Though various apps/UIs may only show one or the other. My app shows "Smokeydope" as the author of this post, but shows "SmokeyDope" when viewing your profile.

I was going to mention her Tiny Desk show. It's a banger!

Women are underrepresented in a lot of roles throughout the world. It is usually due to some combination of social norms, expected gender roles, lack of opportunities, and old fashioned sexism.

It's also possible you simply don't see many female rappers because it's not the music you seek out. There are lots of very talented women in the rap scene. Though they certainly do not get the attention they deserve (see the paragraph above).

Edit: to answer the second part of your question, I'll go old school and say Rebirth of Slick by Diggable Planets. Missy Elliott and Lauren Hill are top-shelf, too. Other people here have mentioned Doechii; she's a new star on the rise.
