- Comment on Anon needs to spend less time on 4chan 4 weeks ago:
I was talking to a black guy from the US one day at a sailing club. He said that a lot of his ancestors had had a bad experience the first time they’d been on a boat; so water based activities weren’t that popular… I thought about it for a second or two and then we both started laughing. History is brutal.
- Comment on Max pulling THIS shit every time I finish watching Last Week Tonight 4 weeks ago:
One possible answer is that there is only one country on this planet that equates gun ownership with politics - from a global point of view it wouldn’t make sense to have an algorithm that connects fire arms to a particular political slant.

If she is in Toronto then smoking weed from a bong is no more illegal than drinking a beer from a glass - if that was your worry about the visible paraphernalia.

cringea shitpost - Comment on How come in most school in the USA (at least mine) they teach Spain Spanish instead of Mexico Spanish? Would not Mexico Spanish be an obvious choice to teach? 1 month ago:
Mainly it’s because not a single human being in Mesoamérica spoke any form of Spanish before, uh, the Spaniards turned-up. (And began committing their genocide)
The question was asking why Castilian was taught, as opposed to any other dialect/form of Spanish that is spoken in geographically proximous states to the US.

You may want to reread the question as your answer makes zero sense.

This is peak US politics. No wonder y’all seem to be so fucked…
Having said that, best of luck with the community.
- Comment on Facepalm on multiple levels 2 months ago:
I think it’s the “3rd term” bit specifically that is anti-USian, directly going against the two term limit written in the… constitution (?)
- Comment on From now on, I wish to be addressed as Lt. Commodre Squid 2 months ago:
I’ve never encountered “Engr” before and don’t know where it comes from but “Eur Ing” is for Engineers in the European Federation of National Engineering Associations. You can have this title on a UK passport - well, until very recently you could. May have changed.
- Comment on Why do so many UK electrical sockets have an on/off switch next to them? 3 months ago:
I was mainly referring to almost all of the American continent(s), lots of Africa, China and a few other places too. I didn’t think I’d mentioned Europe.
- Comment on Should I avoid communities on lemmy.ml? 3 months ago:
Personally, I don’t think so. Like you point out if the Marxist Leninist instance has content you enjoy then why would you avoid it? - perhaps just don’t get into overtly political discussions / arguments.
You don’t have to be trans to visit or use a trans instance, non-anarchists can be on the anarchist instances, but do remember where you are and, most importantly, that you’re a guest/visitor and try to act accordingly. The same advice goes for .world
I’ve had no problems wherever I’ve gone - so far.
- Comment on Why do so many UK electrical sockets have an on/off switch next to them? 3 months ago:
UK household electricity is pretty spicy compared to many other places - it has more safety features as a result. (3 pinned fused plug, socket switches etc)

Jumping to incorrect conclusions after scanning the internet quickly. It’s getting more like humans day by day…

You can sell the house - it’s just not so straight forward for the buyer to get a mortgage.

I have zero training in this field but once read a paper on this. I think it essentially said that ganja was ok (?) on its on but for people with “brewing psychosis” it could trigger/enable that breakdown.
The other problem might be that simply thinking about the possibility of an episode will freak you out - the existential dread would be very draining.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Me too - I can live happily with the fact that not everyone thinks like me; but I still want to know what the other people are thinking.

There’s a guy, a South African, who, in my opinion has too much of a say in another country’s (the US’) politics. He bought Twitter, works with electric cars, space rockets, brain chips etc.
His name escapes me. Sorry to offend you.
- Comment on *cough cough* GOLLUM *cough cough* 3 months ago:
I can’t say for sure, but I have no reason to doubt that.

Him, his brother, Canadian benzo king, that uppity African-American with several baby mommas, orange deity, Yaxley-Fucking-Lennon et al. almost make me want to be anti cis white male… but then I realise that would make me more, not less, like them.
Kids, if you’re reading this, trust me when I say that if these guys are your heroes then you’ve fucked up already - but it’s never too late to save yourself. Good luck.
- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 3 months ago:
I think you’re correct that (some / many) people see the tiniest chink in your armour and go for the juggler (jugular vein - clown 🤡 joke) to compound your misery to make themselves feel/look “strong”.
And, yes, in abusive relationships I believe a husband is more likely to hurt and damage his wife with his fists whereas a wife would be more likely to hurt and damage her husband with words - generally speaking. It’s tragic either way…

I remember trying to listen to Radio Caroline under my duvet on an am portable radio as a kid. This film is loosely based on their story. Great cast. Absolute junk film - one of only four films (in any language) I’ve ever switched off before the end… but that’s just my opinion. I hope you enjoy it.
- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 3 months ago:
I’ve thought about this a lot myself. I’m 12-15 friends/acquaintances down due to them deciding to step out of life in their twenties or thirties. On paper none of them seemed to be in too bad a way and yet…
There’s obviously the problem that having and discussing emotions is for girls and gays only (/s), but there must be more to it than that.
I think there’s an expectation (where I live) that men should be strong and stoic at all times - but, honestly, many of us are fragile little flowers, some of the time, but it’s seen (erroneously) as weakness.
In my experience most men are happy to talk about: “big screen tv’s, blunts, 40’s and bitches” to NSFW quote
but they can’t open up about emotions and feelings.

And I thank you for reading it.
Just to clarify my GBNews comment - they employ current and past Conservative politicians as show anchors so their impartiality is immediately compromised. It’s often seen as Fox News UK in that respect.

Many years ago I was on a train with my astronomically wealthy friend. We wanted a smoke but it was banned. Late night train, long journey, no other passengers. When the ticket inspector turned-up my friend tried to pay two fines in cash and then sparked-up a cigarette…
