Brazil could be the world’s superpower but they have other priorities.

It’s still pretty big.
- Comment on PC game recommendation for my partner and I 4 days ago:
Honestly the coop play on Lego PC games is pretty good if you can get over them being cartooney. You have lots to pick from too, so maybe your partner has movies they’re a fan of that are represented in Lego games.
- Comment on If only 5 days ago:
It’s true. But I’ve been alive a long time, and it’s pretty fucking bad right now.
- Comment on If only 5 days ago:
It was a great time. Felt like less racism, big brother hadn’t been built, pirating was easy, cost of living was low, and the music was lit.

90% of the US has none of that. Nothing walkable. No trains. No buses. No sidewalks. I’ve lived in places with transportation pretty decent, but the only option where I live currently is cars. We are generations away from what you’re describing. Making cars more expensive isn’t accelerating the development of alternatives, it’s only making people suffer and more and more angry.

Yeah most union jobs are government jobs at this point. And you might disagree, but I don’t think government jobs should be allowed collective bargaining rights. Maybe, if everyone else has them first.
- Comment on Ska ftw 4 weeks ago:
Damn, I didn’t realize I was ska until just now. I in fact have a trumpet and a coronet. And the first live show I ever got high at was Skankin Pickle touring Skafunkrastapunk. Somehow completely unrelated I ended up with their bass drum kick pedal about a year and a half later. I don’t even listen to ska though. But the attitude is all mine!

Came here to make sure someone had added this. Got mine in '99, it’s still hooked up to my main TV today. I have a spare too.

I have always simply refused to memorize anything.
- Comment on earth, fire, water, wind - it's not hard 5 weeks ago:
Yeah this is exactly why I mentally checked out of chemistry. Memorization was being pushed harder than conceptual understanding.

- Comment on don't tell the cable company about the splitter 1 month ago:
I still have a TV exactly like this I keep around for my NES. My N64 is always connected to my main TV.
- Comment on don't tell the cable company about the splitter 1 month ago:
I had a 32" and it had a flat screen meaning the glass wasn’t curved but it wasn’t thin. It was also higher res than 480p, it was a transitional model before flat screens rolled out. It weighed 160lbs! I was moving it carrying it by myself and has to rest it on my thighs for a few seconds. They were bruised for a week.

Well I’m someone else in Ohio and I want that shirt.
- Comment on OnLy tWo eLemEnTs 2 months ago:
Honestly we’re probably way too late to stop that from happening. That’s been part of Elon’s plans for a long time. Battery power, robot tech, space technology. And Elon isn’t the only player eyeing what’s out there.

I keep reading about how they don’t have enough helium supply. Is everything fake news?
- Comment on Is lemmy dying? 2 months ago:
Lemmy has lost that funny spark and energy, but it’s because of the weird niche user base. Other platforms don’t all have this problem.
- Comment on At this point it might be the wisest decision 2 months ago:
The Bible says that the time of Jesus’ return will be like the time of Noah when everything was shit. But instead of flooding it, the next time will be destruction by fire. The rainbow was just a promise not to flood it all again. But it gets better after that! That’s my paraphrase version.
- Comment on The amazing world of tomorrow 2 months ago:
That makes complete sense and I can see it. However I still stand by the body of the vehicle in the sketch looking more like a Crosstrek. I bought one for my wife but we had a situation where we needed to switch cars for the last year, so I’ve been looking at one a lot more recently.
- Comment on The amazing world of tomorrow 2 months ago:
That looks like a Crosstrek at the end. Is Subaru working on self-driving cars? Maybe this really is the reality of the future.
- Comment on It's important! 2 months ago:
I had shitty American school French when I went to Paris and I did my best, and nearly everyone said they didn’t speak any English which I knew was a fucking lie. I have since decided not to speak French. I’ve still got Dutch, German, Korean and a little bit of Norwegian on top of English. France is the only country in Europe I don’t want to visit again. Rural France was better but I still don’t plan to go back.
- Comment on Why not just move to a gated community 2 months ago:
There is also more legal protection from trespassing. It isn’t illegal to be on a public road or sidewalk in a neighborhood you don’t live in, and you can’t be trespassed unless you commit a crime. If the road and sidewalk are privately owned they can tell you to leave for any/no reason.

Hey thank you for your opinion. I disagree. I don’t mind at all that you express your opinion. But everyone has preferences. I’m really comfortable with mine. You can have yours, and mine remain unchanged.
- Comment on Cope 2 months ago:
I agree that men without beards aren’t masculine men, but I find absolutely nothing about shaved dudes attractive. I like a bush on pussy too, though. I’m all about natural. Plastic surgery, or too much makeup, too much shaving, all of that is a turnoff.

I have had a vasectomy, but I don’t have sex anymore so is that a double negative and I’m about to birth millions of new lives?

I think usage is regional. Although I’ve never lived in a region where anyone actually used the term wieners. I’ve heard franks used sometimes. But mostly it’s brats, sausages or dogs. Brats are only bratwurst. Dogs are only hot dogs, it doesn’t matter what kind of meat or even vegan, but it’s unseasoned. Sausages are any other seasoned meat in a casing.
