I mean, he was incredibly rich.
- Comment on How was your valentines day weekend? 3 days ago:
Maybe recognize that your partner doesn’t ascribe as much meaning to arbitrary dates and that silently expecting them to do something is a toxic mentality. I hope you realize you’re not teaching them any sort of lesson, you are intentionally setting yourself up to be disappointed/upset at your partner for not following the rules of a game they didn’t know you were playing.
Especially these days. Don’t you think it’s possible they have other things on their mind? I know I do. Between trying to figure out how to pay bills, figuring out how to save a little so we can retire some day, thinking about how stressful my job is, thinking about all the chores that need to be done, worrying about the health of myself and my family, worrying about car/home repairs, keeping insurance/registrations/enrollments/appointments/documents all up to date, and the endless struggle of what we’re having for dinner tonight; there’s just not a whole lot of mental space left for reading my partner’s mind and fulfilling their uncommunicative expectations.
You say this has been happening for years. Ever think that it’s just not something that’s going to change? That you’re expecting a fish to climb a tree unprompted and then getting upset with the fish when it doesn’t?
Grow the fuck up. Be a partner to your partner. How hard is it to say “Hey, I’d like to feel special on Valentine’s Day. It’s important to me.”?
- Comment on What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country? 4 days ago:
30 years of watching progressive movements flounder and civil action lead to absolutely zero substantial changes has given me a defeatist attitude. What good is getting mad? It’s not like it will change anything.

Found the non-American.
- Comment on A troll (https://lemm.ee/u/shinigamiookamiryuu) is a new moderator of AskLemmy on Lemmy.world. What can be done about this? 1 week ago:
See, if I had done something so boneheadingly stupid as an accident, I would immediately be putting out statements clarifying that it wasn’t a Nazi salute. It’s what we would expect any reasonable person to do.
Elon Musk himself has not denied that it was a Nazi salute.
Why do you think he’s refused to clarify?
- Comment on Always go go go. Never no no no. 1 week ago:
Cuz even if I’m semi-conscious, I’m still in my warm cocoon of heavy blankets where there are no problems and no people to bother me. There are some mornings I would give up nearly anything for just 5 more minutes.

Can’t wait for all the pictures of these events with half a dozen people standing around looking lost.
- Comment on My Honest Opinion 3 weeks ago:
Cherry picked and edited to give bad answers. Go play around with any of the big models, you’ll be bored and disappointed because 99.9% of the time it will give you exactly what you ask for.
Except Gemini. Gemini is a drunk.
- Comment on My Honest Opinion 3 weeks ago:
In digital art, the image itself is not your expression. The idea is, but comparing the choice of shaders you use with brush strokes done with real paint, where you can see and feel the emotions the artist wanted to express with their physical brush, it’s just so… less art?

Throws out all my rice, oatmeal, milk, and berries because they all come in either plastic or a box
- Comment on Clarifying questions about the Musk salute 3 weeks ago:
Please find me a statement he made saying it was just a harmless wave, because unless I missed something recently, he has not said anything of the sort. He hasn’t denied making the salute. He hasn’t claimed he meant something else. He hasn’t said that it was a lie or a conspiracy.
That’s the whole point of OP’s post. Musk himself has not made any statement contradicting the Nazi narrative
- Comment on 'The Brutalist' criticised for its use of AI 4 weeks ago:
No thanks, I’d rather refuse to learn anything and blindly accuse any useage of AI as “slop” despite never looking at it myself to judge it’s quality. How dare you accuse my opinion of being closed minded! I’ll have you know I formed that opinion myself after reading the opinions of others exclusively in my preferred bubble of the internet. How could I possibly be wrong?!
- Comment on You could've had it all! 4 weeks ago:
Rastafarianism killed Bob Marley. He had an infection in his toe that got bad enough that it needed to be amputated. He refused because it was against his religion and the infection wound up killing him.
- Comment on ADL defends Nazi salute 4 weeks ago:
Dude, watch the video, it’s like 10 seconds long. He does the salute, twice. Not in a “oh this could be construed as something else”, but a full on seig heil. Twice.
He then posted the video of himself doing it on Twitter. Not with any explanations or defense of his actions, just the video.
He gave a Nazi salute and is proud of it. And idiots like you are scrambling to try and give him the benefit of the doubt when literally no doubt exists.

"You are trapped in my devious trap! See how if you try to pull apart, it only grips you tighter; but if you move closer, your tips will touch and that’s gay! What will you do now, Mr. Bond? What will you do now?!
- Comment on Check Out New Preview And Behind-The-Scenes Images From The ‘Star Trek: Section 31’ Streaming Movie 5 weeks ago:
Hard pass. I don’t need a movie of the Star Trek series so bad that many fans, myself included, refuse to acknowledge it as canon.
- Comment on Any Roguelike/Roguelite suggestions? 5 weeks ago:
Definitely do! If anything, I’m underselling just how much content it adds. It’s even set a few decades after the base game so it really is like a full sequel.
- Comment on Any Roguelike/Roguelite suggestions? 5 weeks ago:
For those who fondly remember FTL and think they got everything out of it; I highly, HIGHLY, recommend getting the Multiverse mod. It’s essentially FTL 2 and adds an absolutely insane amount of content. Seriously, it’s like 10x bigger than the base game. Dozens of new ships and equipment, several new races, hundreds of new events, new paths, new victory conditions. It is amazing and has really breathed new life into such an awesome game.

- Comment on Can 2025 please be the year more games add Text and UI Scaling 1 month ago:
It’s one of the things that turned me off from Elden Ring. The text is just so damn small. It’s not a problem on a monitor, but trying to play on a TV while relaxing on the couch? Constant squinting.
- Comment on What's the best drink to celebrate a passing? 1 month ago:
To me a good Scotch Whisky is an event drink. Drink it to celebrate, drink it to mourn, just as long as there is some some triggering event that warrants it.
- Comment on JeSUS 1 month ago:
Well there are several stories in the Bible about Jesus riding an ass, but none about Jesus riding boobs. So I think it’s safe to say Jesus was an ass man.
- Comment on I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I think the sequel was better. 1 month ago:
The sequel is Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator which deals with such topics as a massive luxury space hotel, shapeshifting aliens that will bludgeon you to death and eat you for existing near them, and accidentally reversing the age of one of your grandparents so far that they blink out of existence and you have to travel into the extremely dangerous pre-existance void to save them.

Why would he talk bad about one of the few people in the world that’s richer than he is?

MD’s aren’t egos. Their bachelor’s with a doctor.
- Comment on Time to make your decesion 1 month ago:
Gotta be careful with that. I shared an office with an old guy once and had to bring headphones. We wouldn’t talk, but he would constantly make old man noises. Coughs, grunts, snorts, etc. If I didn’t block them out, they would drive me crazy like nails on a chalkboard. That said, the guy himself was really cool and I loved working with him otherwise.
- Comment on Behold currently! 1 month ago:
No, fuck right off. That BS attitude is a big part of what killed reddit. Fake shit that tries to pass itself off as real is lame as fuck and insulting. With pro wrestling or plays or movies, you go in expecting it to be fake. It doesn’t really matter if the wrestlers don’t have any beef, you still get to see 20 midgets attacking a bullfighter. The lie is just the set up, not the main event. But shit like this post? The lie is the entire thing. Take it away and you just have someone’s shitty, unclever, poetry that isn’t interesting or funny enough to stand on its own.
- Comment on Amazon: The same 31 products you don't want, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again 1 month ago:
Honestly that site is genius.
They provide as much information as possible for all their hardware. Specs, drawings, CAD models, similar products, item codes, CAGE codes, everything! All without requiring an account or membership. Why do that when someone could just take that info and use it to find a cheaper source? Especially when they’re more expensive than other sources by 25% or more? Well because engineers will often grab their models and use them in their designs, and when it comes time to order things, knowing the parts order will have the exact dimensions and specifications as the ones in your model is often worth the premium. Plus they have so many products that if it’s not on their website, there’s a good chance it doesn’t exist anywhere.
Most other hardware sellers use the worst model imaginable for their sites. The kind where it’s like “Oh, you’d like some tubing? Well give us an email, make an account, and send a message to our sales team to put together a quote for you. And we won’t share the full specs until you do, so there’s no guarantee that we even have what you want.”
McMaster really embraced the philosophy that if you make things as easy as possible for your customers, they’ll choose you even if you’re more expensive.

Depends entirely on the job.
If you are interacting with people or have meetings, sure, promptness is important and polite.
If you are doing design work, or coding, or data driven jobs where you don’t really interact with anyone and just work for 8 hours, then who gives a shit if you work from 8-4 or 8:10-4:10? Fuck off if you think that makes a difference. 8 hours is 8 hours. End of story.
