Flipping off*. You can flick off boogers, but you flip the bird.

This is me too. I have two of them bought and paid for and people just don’t get it: I went all in on this and you can just sell for 15% of purchase price, I still have mobility needs. More to the point my swasticar still has access to the best charging network on the market and even if I COULD just sell, it’s not cut and dry. It’s easy to shit on Tesla, but it’s still the best offering in the EV market for long range driving. And even if it was not, like fuck me I can’t time travel. Most people who flame have no idea what the actual hell they are talking about.

You can fellate Winnie the Pooh on your own time. It comes with its own whole set of problems.

Edit: Come at me tankies. You’re morons for giving a single dollar to the CCP.

I played FF7 only and loved it. I did not care for the first remake game, and have not finished it. Hanging at like 70% complete.

Well that all checks out… This time 😝

I mean I think we are all trying to be better as parents than our parents were or than we were yesterday, but it’s important I think to be real about the fact that that is aspirational and we are going to make mistakes. More important than keeping high expectations I think is to own your mistakes, and let your kids see you do it.

There is a time and a place and you don’t want to undermine your own authority or that of your co parent if you have one, but showing what it means to take responsibility is just as important as trying to always do better I think.

Depends how you mean “gossip”. If you have little kids, you’ll totally get the instances in Bluey, for example, where Mom and Dad recount to each other the funny shit kids say and laugh about it. It’s sort of gossip I guess, but it’s funny because of the growth you can see in your kids.

As an example, the last time my wife and I went to dinner we got a salad for my almost 5 year old daughter. It had tomatoes on it, and she told our friend she “isn’t allowed to have those” which we all cracked up about. She even LIKES tomatoes, but I guess she didn’t want them and she’s a shit liar.

Kids are funny. You gotta share the joy when you can, because parenting is hard work yo.

… Did you go just to check it out?

Not always possible. In rural areas, Walmart in particular is a mom and pop shop killer. Restaurants maybe, groceries and the like, this is not that universally possible.

Is that rap slang if you’re referring to a lady? 😬🫣

Putting the gin in Nginx.

N-jinks is silly, f-stab is cool.

Does this mean when you go into an airport bathroom and see the hand dryer, you know it’s called an XLerator (ex-LAIReighter)?

Yes. Odd people.

I would rock the ragnar lothbrok though.

How do you knock out a fade on your own? The back of the head is a real bitch.

They didn’t. As I’m sure you know. The only unifying thing was “not trump” and “punish trump for doing loudly what others had done quietly”.

But. What are D voters asking for? Is it any wonder the reps aren’t unified if we aren’t either? Of for and by the people doesn’t really work if we all spend our days asking Lemmy how to avoid politics and watching ASMR videos. Or LETTING TRUMP GET INTO OFFICE because of protest no votes against genocide thinking you’re some kind of fucking hero.

Everybody that allowed trump for any reason deserves to get a little bit fucked by the admin. We gotta do better, and this should make it clear to everyone that there. are. consequences.

The only platform is “we follow the rules and the procedures” and that’s all we got. I would love to see a full progressive agenda, but the first step is, in my opinion, getting money out of politics or it will take a long time to break Republican control and an even longer time to push out the neoliberal old guard on the left. Then you have to fight this fractionation problem. With no ranked choice, the same old neoliberal is probably going to win the primary between the women’s rights advocate, the gay rights activist, the pro Palestine anti war ambassador, and so on. I’m also against slow iteration, and this is why it isn’t working. You can’t just say the equivalent opposite of “guns, Jesus, and trump!” (whatever that is) and win a progressive left race.

Yeah I don’t think that’s as true as you’d like to think. It’s not even about accepting outsiders, it’s purely about agreeing what issue to tackle first. Seeems to me there’s a really strong vibe of “I’m in if it’s my issue” and protesting “what about my issue?!” when it’s not. No concept of eating one bite at a time even though that’s how the work gets done.

Bro? Cardboard?

The rest of us work for a living: paper-based board product.
