The emoji was standing in for the “A” for “ackshully”

Yeah, I suppose the obvious stuff, sure

Guess I’m just rankled by seeing so many people making baseless claims and then telling everyone to figure it out themselves when they get called out on it, and it’s not the same as this.

Hidden panel: guy on left saying “google it yourself, don’t expect me to have to teach you anything”

You better start believing in huge 3D printers

…you’re in one!

He already had a circlejerk with another poster talking about how China can do it in days (because no osha, you know), and then! said it could also be done more inexpensively by reusing the steel from the collapsed bridge, that, you know, is structurally compromised by the collapse and I can’t imagine the water it’s submerged in is good for its integrity either

Explain all the people in the suburbs then. No shortage of brodozers there. Otherwise, why so sore?

I deleted my Reddit account and have not gone back. That said, I’m not particularly fond of Lemmy either. I’ve found… maybe? two communities here of interest that may have migrated from Reddit and they aren’t even active; and even as a socialist, the politics are tiresome and pervasive.

Aside from fascists getting the smacking around that they deserve, the one thing that’s nice is that there are far fewer cringey “yay lemmy is the best isn’t it guys” circlejerk posts now than there were back then. I don’t spend nearly as much time on here as I did on Reddit, so that’s a plus.

It’s free-based

When your customer base has main character syndrome, none of that matters, go hog wild

I’m honestly shocked at how soon the sapient insects displaced humanity and subjugated what remained. Here’s a hint: the second digit in the year I visited is still a zero

I think it might be, the first time I’d heard it was in reference to Jimmy Savile after his death

I’ve already posted this elsewhere but

Nah, I see cop as an option. More likely than astronaut, actually.

But most of all, I see him becoming a “professional YouTuber” of the “rant from the cab of a pickup truck wearing a baseball cap and wearing oakleys” genre, before going out and attempting to kidnap a politician at gunpoint. It’s one of those nominative determinism things, for sure.

I knew someone who did that to me in high school. I hated him, for many reasons, mind, but that was one. I hated him enough to be almost glad his wife died. Not that I am, and nothing against her, just… fuck him.

I’ve been called Bert by one guy, and sometimes I wonder if I should have run with that. Another guy would call me Rootbeer. I was totally fine with that, as you can see.

It’s probably not even difficult in Poland either

When I was working at a car dealership twenty years ago, I knew a salesman with that name. Before he sold cars, he was a relatively wealthy lawyer who got busted and disbarred for embezzlement or something to that effect, I never knew or cared enough about the details.

Not as bad, but still not great, my graduate advisor’s name was John Johnson. It still is but I’ve been done with all that for eight years.

Beef.

Because that’s a girl’s name, idiots.

43% of those reported belief in god or some higher power. They’re “spiritual but not religious”. So I wouldn’t even call it 30%. One was even quoted as believing in astrology, saying she bet half of it is even a placebo effect.

This is nothing to be excited about. That said, I personally don’t care what people believe, so long as they keep it to themselves.

It’s fine that you drink water, but none of those sparkling water drinks have sugar

I used to go through so many pairs of headphones because the wires would inevitably get caught on things and pull; at the gym, it was particularly bothersome. I have a pair of Audio Technicas with a wire that can be removed (and, incidentally, a Bluetooth option but the lag is awful) but that’s more for stationary use. Otherwise, wireless has been a miracle for me.
