Lmao you’re a fool. The meme was started by Chinese people you racist.
Just out here projecting your own racism into other situations because you’re the one who sees Pooh bear and thinks “that looks like one of those yellow squinty eyed people I see in China”.

It looks like each enchilada +cheese sauce is like 500+ calories (I would bet closer to 700). All it needs is a small side to make a meal.

Can you link to this profile or one of these threads? I’d like to read that.

Hilarious that someone named “anarcho.stalinist.socdem” isn’t online enough to recognize the meme.

Depends on how big the tails are.
- Comment on Grirrrll.... 2 weeks ago:
The Victorian era would have made it so that showing any amount of tail was scandalous and we would all be wearing these bizarre contraptions designed to hide our tails beneath our clothing. Most people would be aware of the fact that keeping our tails tied up was an antiquated puritanical practice that was overall unhealthy for us, but even still, the brave few who chose to let their tale go in public would be looked at as pariahs even by those who ostensibly agreed with the reason behind it.

I just mean that the problem with all work under capitalism is the capitalism part.

Minus the “sex” part of “sex work under capitalism”

This always made me wonder. Why don’t we hear more about these psychoactive substances in modern day drugs. I know the nightshade family is usually poisonous as well as psychoactive but surely people have experimented with extracting/filtering these plants to get the desired effect like we extract cocaine from coca leaves or opium from poppies.

Fortunately/unfortunately Lemmy isn’t big enough to move the needle on any of these conservative’s radars. Until it proves that it can influence a significant fraction of their demographic they don’t care.

Think tanks be like: if we motivate people by rewarding them with food and sleep they become extremely productive (work 20 hours a day)
- Comment on Anon goes to therapy 2 weeks ago:
It’s sad that it’s true. Therapists are in high demand, and part of the reason we need more therapists is that about 1/5 of current therapists are basket cases in denial who use the idea of therapy to fulfill their own desires to control and manipulate others.

It doesn’t have to be unidentified by the makers. You just need to not be able to identify it.
- Comment on Return to monke 3 weeks ago:
They can work and be unidentified. There’s no contradictions.
- Comment on Anon attempts wordplay 3 weeks ago:
“so sue me” is a relatively common saying meaning you think you did nothing wrong so you’re challenging the other person to take you to court over it if they really want to litigate what you did. (Not literally ofc, it’s a saying)
Sue is also a common name for a girl in America so walking into a sex change clinic and saying “Sue me” is a funny way to ask for gender reassignment surgery.

This post is making fun of people who think they’re fixing their life by having “epiphanies” after taking magic mushrooms multiple times a week and then not doing anything about those epiphanies when they’re sober.

To be fair, I’m not defending having to beg your boss for time off.
In our world we have a simple choice: work for whoever will hire you, or starve and die on the streets. Barring random and uncontrollable acts of charity or the extremely fortunate situation in which you work for yourself.
Now we could go back and forth on where on the spectrum of “you would be working all day miserably farming if it weren’t for your job” and “you should feel blessed to die of black lung in the coal mines cause at least you got to work” we both lie. But, in a society where the majority of work involves “work or die”, our promises to our bosses are very short periods of indentured servitude in a very hyperbolic sense.
Sure, you can quit at any time only to find another job or be taken to jail (we could go into the criminalization of homelessness), but for most people, you’re working for life.
So to say that the government (or employment contract) mandating that you’re owed days of vacation is an expression of freedom is a far cry from my definition of freedom.
I was certainly being glib and hyperbolic tho
- Comment on Oh well... 3 weeks ago:
To be fair, having the government mandate how much time you get off for working 40 hours a week is kind of just codifying the indentured servitude you’re under.

Is there any chance that the terrorism charge is so ridiculous that it actually strengthens Luigi’s case and makes his defense better?
- Comment on They're trying to charge Luigi with terrorism! Imagine that! 5 weeks ago:
Unfortunately, the people doing it are the media It’s a quintessential “man bites dog” story. Normally it’s the insurance companies killing civilians. Everyone is going to cover it. The police had a manhunt because it would look ridiculous if they didn’t solve such a high-profile case.
It’s kind of a symbiotic relationship, the media covers it, the police react harshly, the media covers it more.

As many people say, the horror of the Nazis wasn’t just that they killed so many people, but that they industrialized it, turned it into an inhuman factory process like they were mass-producing shoes.
In a similar way we have modern corporations that have brought neo liberal styles to the idea of murder. Instead of the industrial style of the Nazis, this style serves to alienate the murder from the murderer, putting a price tag on deaths and profiting from the lives they’re destroying all veiled by the size of these companies and the corporate double-speak that places all the lives they have control over into their sterile profit-centered game they play.

Yeah that’s why I say it’s good for a laugh. If a game is nearly impossible to get a decent score in, it can’t been taking itself too seriously. You’re meant to sit back and watch the master Sherlock Holmes do his thing and nail the mystery. Often it’s fun and you get some “oh yeah” moments where he points out a detail that makes a lot of clues click, but sometimes the leaps in logic are just unhinged. Also there was another mystery I remember distinctly where in order to get the correct line, you had to have some random bit of trivia knowledge about Sherlock-era English style cause it was based on someone’s hat.
Now that I write this, I bet there’s a lot of fun bits for people who have read all of the Sherlock books and “get” the logic of that world.
