It’s definitely a third date or beyond activity. When I was single, I always asked third dates to compare their emotional baggage with me, but wouldn’t discuss it in depth until later. We all have it, so might as well bring it out.

Especially after that island was invaded dozens of times since it’s a great strategic location. Grandpa was very dumb.
- Comment on Anon shares a family moment 1 day ago:
Haha, you too?
- Comment on Anon shares a family moment 1 day ago:
Peak “fuck you, got mine”. Same with my grandparents. Grandpa was also notoriously racist. I laughed so hard when some genome sequencing revealed a ton of sub-Saharan genes in that side of the family. My dad was about 25% African and Grandpa was hella dark. Now how could that be…?

A cardboard box can qualify as a nursing home as long as it’s staffed by enough care roaches.

I’m only more likely to do something like this when high because I’m already likely to do something like this when not high.

It’s chemical cauterization. The phenol kills the cells responsible for growing new nail.
- Comment on Permian Park 3 days ago:
I was going to say the same about Cambrian biota, but it would be faster, cheaper, and less horrifying to simply make more movies based on H.P. Lovecraft novels.

Sort by new and you’ll find it’s a bunch of Germans too. Ich liebe meine deutschen Freunde der Nacht.
- Comment on Broccoli Blooms 4 days ago:
Yeah, it’s interesting if you’re into etymology or language in general.
Broccolo is the Italian term for the brassica flower crest and is the diminutive form of brocco, meaning sprout in a botanical context. Broccoli as a surname can mean their ancestors were broccoli farmers, soldiers as a brocco is the center of a shield, carpenters as it can refer to a type of nail, or even arborists as it can be the stump left after cutting off a tree limb. Italian is a very old language, the associations get wild.

That’s what the Broccoli family (of James Bond fame) claims, but it’s contested. The James Bond IP is the source of their wealth.

The party of “small government” once again governing small. Small mindedly.
- Comment on Charging to tour rental properties... 1 week ago:
I did use “normal people words”, you just assumed otherwise for no apparent reason. That’s how I found the correct legal term.
Can you provide any of these endless articles and links? All I could find is articles explaining how to do it with no mention of any restrictions.
- Comment on Alexa, how do I remove cooties? 1 week ago:
I like us building alternatives on the internet. The fediverse makes me hopeful again.
- Comment on Charging to tour rental properties... 1 week ago:
This is called tenency in common. I’m unaware of it being illegal in any states and a cursory search brought up nothing. Do you have any leads you can share?
- Comment on Recieved an ultra slim keyboard in a box big enough for a microwave oven (packing material in comment) 1 week ago:
You’re totally right. I’m guessing it’s from Amazon, the company that thought sending us bulk bag breakfast cereal in an unpadded shipping bag was a good idea. We now have enough free corn flake breading for years, though!
- Comment on Recieved an ultra slim keyboard in a box big enough for a microwave oven (packing material in comment) 1 week ago:
It’s only 5" square at most, though. You don’t need a microwave sized box for that.
- Comment on The curse of ‘Disco Elysium’, the greatest RPG ever made 1 week ago:
No no, you don’t get it. Every single person in the world must love it for it to be the greatest game. Until that day, they’re just pretenders.

I gave it some thought and got vertigo. I’m going with counterclockwise.

Get hooked on meth, it’ll wildly change your priorities.

It meshes well with my occasional feeling that reality is just circling the drain.
- Comment on its painful each time (┬┬﹏┬┬) 3 weeks ago:
This is great advice. I want to add that it helps to have the necessary social skills to make those friends. I highly recommend Dale Carnegie’s How to Make Friends and Influence People. It’s old and a bit hokey but the advice is solid. It helped me grow from being awkward and largely friendless to awkward with a few friends!
- Comment on its painful each time (┬┬﹏┬┬) 3 weeks ago:
I have a similar rule I call the 2/3 rule. I’m willing to put in around 2/3 of the effort required to keep any sort of relationship going. If the other person consistently can’t put in 1/3, I’ll be cordial but won’t otherwise do anything more for them than I’d do for a stranger.
- Comment on How active is too active while being on lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
It certainly won’t annoy anyone unless your content is actively bothering people. A certain fungally named user posts and comments constantly and I typically enjoy their content, while another brachycephalic canid religious savior does the same but constantly stirred shit so went on my block list. Content good, melodrama bad. People will like you if you are reasonably kind, respectful, and genuine.
Usage time really is a personal choice. I track my usage and keep it to 1.5 hours (2.5 on occasion, like if I’m sick) or less daily. Otherwise, it starts to adversely affect my mental health and personal relations.

Allegedly it’s supposed to release in October. The original release date was in 2020, so I suppose we’ll see!
- Comment on The Star Wars Outlaws flop - Guillemot blames waning interest in the franchise 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, the Baby Yoda Show was its last dying gasp for me. I see the same pattern in most industries: something is profitable, so lean hard into it until the bubble bursts. It’s great for short-term profits but bad for long term and worse overall.
- Comment on The night water 4 weeks ago:
Aged water, thank you. Aging just makes some things better. Whiskey? Better with age. Cheese? Better with age. Prosciutto, beef, wine, pound cake, and pickles? All better with age.
You know who doesn’t think things get better with age? Anyone in the Epstein files.
