- Comment on Killing ownership is the method, killing the secondary market is the objective. 5 days ago:
I was not making either of those points. My first sentence was my point. My second sentence was a general statement implied to be a suggestion.
But I see from the votes that lemmy is full of people who prefer to throw money away.

So, like, don’t buy things that aren’t worth the cost, man.

I know someone who LOVES both of those things but would never try this combo
- Comment on Turrón! 2 weeks ago:
It sure doesn’t. When people pronounce it like that, they’re imitating a segment from a kids’ show (forget whether it was Dexter’s Lab or Jimmy Neutron)
- Comment on Why are sites like Reddit so prone to downvoting people for self-expression or vulnerability? 2 weeks ago:
Maybe the artwork got downvoted because people thought it wasn’t good, or wasn’t appropriate for the sub
Maybe the comment where you mentioned you’re trans got downvoted if it was seen as not adding to the conversation at hand

- Comment on The best answer to "when did Star Trek get woke?" 2 weeks ago:
In that case the issue is hamfisted storytelling, not progressive ideas. So calling it “woke” is pointing the wrong direction.

- Comment on Is it weird that I cringe whenever someone calls my name and I avoid using peoples names when talking to them? 1 month ago:
I use names when specificity is needed. E.g., if I’m in a room with two other people, and I want to address only one of them, I’ll use a name (or nickname if there is one) to clarify who I am addressing.
If I’m in a room with only one other person, then using a name to address them would be redundant, unless I am not getting their attention otherwise (e.g., they’re engrossed in a book).

Your esophagus will not be happy
- Comment on How do I drink more water? 2 months ago:
Cool (not cold), with no ice. Filtered.
Eat savory snacks.
Keep the water in an open-top container so you can gulp rather than being limited by a straw.

Oregon coast is beautiful, don’t get me wrong. Great place to vacation. Not terribly exciting place to live, though.

Go live there yourself.
Oh, you don’t want to? Why not?
There, you have your reason now.

- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 3 months ago:
Is going to? It’s already happening. We’ve seen increased heat stroke deaths. We’ve seen animal populations get displaced.
- Comment on Xbox just revealed Gaming Copilot is coming to "current-generation consoles" later this year 3 months ago:

- Comment on What the fuck is going on with Iran and what will happen next? 3 months ago:
They need to accept the rapture has already happened. All the good religious people have already ascended. This is why all of the religious people who are still here suck.

- Comment on Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college? 4 months ago:
Imagine finding the perfect partner, getting married, moving in together etc.
Now that you’re married and that’s all settled, where do the two of you go for fun? Where do the two of you go to get out of the house?
Go there.
