This is all just about normalizing poor decisions, right?

Ya. I got Century Club on Reddit based mostly on AdviceAnimals posts that hit front page.

Thing is, if this is “relatable”, then people are nodding along and normalizing it. It’s a classic half-joke. Only not actually funny.

Call me crazy… but maybe find a way to deal with your emotions that doesn’t involve compulsive spending and damaging your marriage?

To be fair, he has a tough stance on immigration, and he’s a good bet to beat the liberals if you feel strongly against the open border policy the left is espousing. There’s plenty of other woke nonsense that could inspire someone to oppose the libs at all costs.

I’m not a Trumper; I’m a moderate liberal that’s tired of losing because of idiotic identity politics and the righteous brigading that alienates anyone who doesn’t fall in lockstep.

Better yet, offer to help them with their time management. That way, it’s a positive and friendly offer, not an overt criticism. And it jams in a little more condescension.

I come back tired and missing home. Maybe because I travel cheap and rough.

…and yet, here we are. I left Reddit recently because of the drop in quality, and a lot of folks I know agree that it sucks even if they aren’t yet tapped into the fediverse. The internet still has a lot of friction and inertia. These things take time. But the momentum has shifted. These social media cesspools can’t last, even the most idiotic knuckledraggers will eventually smell the stink.

The downside is that they will find their way here. Lemmy will be bigger and less cool. Eternal September, am I right?

Harry Mack does freestyle raps about his sponsors. I think his bars about Keeps hair medication service and Nord VPN are just as entertaining as the rest of his stuff.

The woman I loved decided to give it a go. 13 years later, we’re a super happy family.

PS: also, being bi and resisting the social urge to “be true to myself” and go gay, assuming the straight part was obviously bullshit.

Oh shit. That stuff is probably delicious.

I once tasted some regular Cuervo gold my buddy brought to a cabin weekend. He was going to make margaritas (with HFCS mix) and I nabbed a pour to sip on. It was one of the best tequilas I’ve ever tasted. I couldn’t believe it was Cuervo, and then he told me that it was a bottle his Dad brought back from Mexico in the 80’s. Apparently that stuff was really good back in the day.

exorcise, btw.

I love Arak. Every country in that region has its local anise booze, and Israeli Arak is my favorite. I basically make my own by infusing vodka with anise.

A handle of tequila with cacao nibs added. I do infusions, and this was a failed experiment. Should have tried it in a mason jar.

Though it usually works out well. I have a bottle of premium Costco vodka with two anise stars and some simple syrup added. It’s like a homemade ouzo and delightfully sippable for $18 a handle. I also have slices of pear in another bottle, and it’s yummy. And a mason jar of bourbon with black peppercorns, which I like to splash into an Old Fashioned.

Hot tip: Buying flavored liquor is expensive and never as good as infusing it yourself.

Silly question: could they evolve the infrastructure to an actual transit system?

Yeah, this has nothing to do with Biden. That said, it sounds like the rules are not being applied fairly. That said, it’s not like America has fair, consistent policies or anything…

Tldr: It was just a lark, and nobody is taking it seriously. Though the dealer did take down the bot.

Bud, you sound like a technophile geek. The kind of person who custom built his own computer. You’re not the target customer. Apple builds products for people that don’t care about technology, they just care about what the technology does and want it to be easy and seamless. And that is a vast majority of the people.

I think the issue here is that we’re all genetically just apes and we live in a world where we’re expected to know about geopolitics, outrageous technologies, all kinds of cultural artifacts, and a bazillion other complexities of modern life, in addition to the basics of feeding ourselves, finding a mate, and child rearing. At the same time, we have behemoth corporations in control of all media with a strong interest in keeping people dumb, angry and discontent. And education is… not what it should be.

No, humans aren’t inherently evil or stupid or whatever. We’ve just inherited a world situation that we are not adapted for, and few people are able to learn and grow sufficiently to really understand and handle it all properly.
