  I could be entirely fucking wrong here, but I’m pretty sure that actress played a mom in a netflix show about two brothers who killed their parents.

  It’s also 6 am and I just smoked a bowl, and it just occurred to me this might be a joke im not getting. If that’s the case sorry about that and don’t mind me

  He doesn’t want the aliens to learn swear words or they might start adding them to the crop circles. Obviously.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is selling fake medicine legal in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s still insane to me that people were actually doing that. I know meds like ivermectin and pyrantel are used in humans but still… Horses have BIG organs, and that paste is a suspension dosed specifically to get rid of equine intestinal worms. It’s not the same as the pill you get from a pharmacy.

  Even if those people who ate horse dewormer felt no ill effects I bet there’s some organ damage in there. I’d hazard a guess that human livers and kidneys don’t like high doses of that stuff.

  Same at my job. Busy half the year, dead the other half. I also have great bosses who understand we can’t help it if there’s no work to do.

  It’d be pretty horrible being given nothing to do and knowing it’s because they want you to quit. That’s not a good environment for anyone. Eventually showing up out if spite will wear on you. What a shitty practice. I’m glad their being called out for it.

  He’s just listing games he knows are beloved by their fanbases, hoping to get any of those fanbase’s bigots to support him.

  I’m personally offended he’d ever make those comparisons. You made the site trash Elon. Reddit is trash, and instagram is scraping artists work for their ai. You all suck. All those video games are more worthy of my attention than any if those sites.

  Antqay, I’m going to go continue my yearly October playthrough of bloodborne. Fuck you Elon. I hope you get hand foot and mouth disease and can’t type for weeks.

  It too bad we can’t give the mosquitos something like those rabies vaccine cookies so at least they wouldn’t spread malaria/west nile/dengue fever and we wouldn’t cause an eco collapse.

  They’d be annoying still, but not deadly.

  Same, still playing my ps4, probably won’t buy a ps5 though. I’ll just wait for ps6 or whatever to happen. As of now ps4 plays elden ring and bloodborne(two of my favorite games) so I’m content with it.

  Supply and demand is a fickle bitch.

  Excuse me while I go cry a river for the real estate tycoons who will have to sell off their yachts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do remote workers actually work? Yes, but they also shop and shower⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If they’re mad about people shopping while working from home I have bad news.

  People shop from their phones while working at the job site too. I see several of my coworkers doing this frequently. Shit, I’ve done it.

  Sure, we can’t shower on site unless you’re a firefighter or something, or have a gym at workplace, but still.

  Employers need to reign in their power hungry bullshit. You don’t own your employees, and if the work is getting done on time, you have nothing to complain about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨rabioli⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess all those things are worse than your pet getting West Nile disease, rabies, distemper, or any of the various diseases pets can get.

  Some horse people have stopped giving their horses vaccines because " Wild horses don’t need them"(wild horses don’t live as long dumbfuck) and west nile is going rampant. Seeing a horse with west Nile so bad they need to be euthanized is not something I’d wish on anyone. It goes neurological in them and causes loss of coordination and seizures.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨biodegradable⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One baby can go through 6,000 diapers until potty trained.

  One condom vs 6,000 diapers. I think your right about the condom doing less damage to the environment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blood Meal⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also it’s good to let people know because dogs absolutely love that shit and you have to be careful to keep it out of areas dogs can get at it.

  I worked in a green house and one customer’s dog dug up an entire tree she planted to get at the blood meal she put in the bottom of the hole. Dog was okay, but needed to stay at the vets a few days to monitor the vomiting and their iron levels.

  Maybe you’ll like my interpretation of this image! I believe those women are a coven of witches politely waiting for that guy to finish talking so they can begin their ritual sacrifice to The Morrigan.

  What an interesting part of my comment to nitpick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deficiencies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why I added if you have the means, I absolutely understand if you don’t. I just had a tooth extracted that was overdue by a few years. Just didn’t have the money to get it filled before it cracked in half and I was in excruciating pain for months. I get it.

  Maybe try a community health center if you have one near you? They usually do a sliding scale and can make referrals to doctors who work with uninsured or under-insured people. That’s how I got my tooth taken care of without being thousands in debt after. Just google “community health centers near 'name of town & state.” That is if you feel like pursuing it. Totally get it if you don’t, but the above info can help with other health related issues too.

  Either way, I hope even a little of that info is helpful to you. I fucking hate healthcare that’s useless AND expensive. Wishing you the best.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deficiencies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ugh. Sometimes I think drs just say “it’s all in your head” as an easy way to handwave people out the door. They get paid regardless if they solve your problem or not. I’m sorry that happened to you. If you aren’t sleeping well that’s an issue. Any sleep specialist worth their salt knows this.

  It took me about 10 years to get my diagnosis so I feel this. If you have the means maybe seek out a different sleep specialist and do a second test under that one. It’s frustrating that to need to do that, but unfortunately that’s what it comes to when you run into asshole doctors who don’t care, don’t bother listen, or just assume your a moron and your suffering is your own doing.

  Best luck to you! I hope you get it figured out and find some relief soon

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨America's Smartest Man Finds Something Interesting⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess they forgot that people like Martin Luther King Jr. got shot and killed for speaking out against these so called “high T, alpha males.”

  Being proud of using intimidation tactics is fucking weird and pathetic. Blaming it on garbage pseudo science lowers the bar into degeneracy. THEN turning it into victim blaming…“you’re too weak to have anything worthwhile to contribute” is just… wow.

  Evolutionary psychology was an interesting hypothesis, but it will never recover from these dipshits utilizing it as the loudest dog whistle in history…used to justify sexism and bigotry. I wish they’d all get in elons rocket and be the first people to land on the sun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deficiencies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you tried having a sleep study done? Sometimes your body can go through the sleep cycles weird, or they get interupted resulting in being really tired all the time. A sleep specialist can see what’s going on and help you fix it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those poor plants⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Diseases spread via human feces which why we tend to not use it. We could sanitize it by processing it, but then it won’t carry the benefit of beneficial bacteria cultures so it’s not as good as animal supplied manures.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why I Haven't Seen Any Trump Supporters In Fediverse (Lemmy and Mastodon)?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there? Damn I just kinda picked an instance randomly before I really understood what that meant. Now I’m sad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those poor plants⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The animal industry feeds the plants as much as the plants feed the animals. I’m not sure how vegans feel about synthetic fertilizer like miracle grow, but that’s what will have to be used in place of manure if the meat industry goes away.

  Many of the organic crops grown use animal manure to fertilize the plants. I know you can use seaweed and other plants for compost(weeds are already composted back in via tilling, seaweed requires harvesting from the ocean or long distance shipping from farms), as well as cycling crops to prevent nutrient deficiency…

  BUT manure doesn’t just add nutrients. It adds beneficial bacteria that helps keep the soil healthy and make the nutrients bioavailable to plants. It conditions the soil for water retention, and helps break up clay soil and add organic matter to sandy soil.

  Will vegans keep animals just for manure? Or will organic lables on food be less important? Are we going to start scraping the forests for leaves to chop up an add to farm soil? That can’t be good for forests though. I guess I’m just confused about how to maintain large farms without access to large amounts of manure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gen Z is actually taking sick days, unlike their older coworkers. It’s redefining the workplace⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I really wish companies would realize workers are more productive when they can take time to take care of their mental and physical health.

  Stressed out, overwhelmed, and exhausted people naturally make more mistakes, and mistakes cost money. You’d think they’d understand this because…well… profits?

  But no, a bunch of sociopaths Machiavellianed their way to the top of companies and seem to enjoy making their workers miserable while claiming profits are the motivation for horrible sick leave policies.

  The US is fucking awful about this shit. I really hope it changes soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ark survival evolved is something my husband and I enjoy playing together that’s quite fun. The base building and dino taming together is very enjoyable if you’re on a private server.

  If you give this one a try, make sure whoever is hosting sets their server to private and invites the other person via steam. Otherwise you might get randos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linguistic Perscriptivists⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People are taught how to write in an academic style in school.

  There’s different applications for writing. Some examples in include but are not limited to academic, creative, and conversational/casual writing. Education tends to focus on academic(correct grammar, writing essays, doing research papers) followed by creative writing which is storytelling and poetry.

  Expecting people to write academically in casual settings is weird. If I write a letter or email to my friend it’s going to include slang and have looser grammar.

  Casual and academic writing have their place and time. Suggesting casual writing is inferior is just silly. If people always wrote everything like some formal essay it’d be fucking boring. No humor, no colorful language. Just boring ass academic writing everywhere.

  Plus, believe it or not some of my most brilliant professors had a very casual way of speaking and writing. Academic use of language does not indicate intelligence. It just means they know how to write in an academic setting. Nothing more, nothing less.

  We would have a much better world to live in, and scientists wouldn’t be pressured to only study things that can be immediately monetized.

  Have you ever heard of orphan diseases? They’re conditions that are so rare that it’s not profitable to research them and find cures/treatment because the population of people who need it is so small.

  Some countries counter this by using government funding to research rare diseases but the progress is much slower since the funding is limited.

  Why not do both? Listen to educational podcasts while frolicking freely?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon interviews for a job⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Aimless frolicking sounds like a great deal to me.

  Imagine how fit everyone would be if we could spend all day frolicking about instead of being at a desk 8+ hours a day.
