Well I’m someone else in Ohio and I want that shirt.

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? 3 days 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 3 days 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.

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 1 week 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.

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.

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 3 weeks 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.

Yeah we have a place around the corner called the market where people shop for free. You can only shop twice a month tho.

It’s just as simple as that
- Comment on Landlords are parasites 5 weeks ago:
No, it’s more of a testament to how car-dependent our area is. You can live without a house, but you can’t live without a car, or access to someone who will drive you. Housing here is comparitively affordable.
- Comment on Landlords are parasites 5 weeks ago:
I work with a lot of homeless, and I have known a few who have rented a car in a pinch. But you’re right, most just have an old beater they own.
- Comment on Landlords are parasites 5 weeks ago:
In my area, the majority of homeless have cars. A car rental can be more important than a home to rent for survival for more people than you might think.

My commute is 20 minutes of curvy back roads. No traffic. Some farms and livestock, some forest. The roads get too much heavy truck use to be safe for cycling, but it’s a really nice drive.

The guy is not wrong. I have dozens of HDDs but he’s talking about an actual hard drive. I also have a wife, 3 1/2 kids and my dog just died. I’ve seen some shit.

I’ll drive you with no seatbelt, hell I’ll skip it myself if I feel like it .
But I won’t do that while taking you to your dealer. Never commit a misdemeanor while you’re committing felonies.
- Comment on Wear your seatbelt 1 month ago:
I’m convinced there is no such thing as a civilized country at this point. The more “civilized” a country becomes, the more its people become smug arrogant assholes who are anything but civil.

I actually agree with the sentiment of this post even though there are obvious exceptions. Your character doesn’t change when you’re drunk, just your inhibitions. So yeah, getting drunk reminds me I can be an asshole and probably I want to be more often than I do.
But you know what I’ve never done while even blackout drunk? I’ve never cheated on my wife. Because I don’t want to do that. I’ve had crazy hot women ask me to hook up and I was too drunk to even say, sorry I’m married. All I could get out was naww.
I’ve felt bad because I have seen devistation in the face of young women being blown off by an older dude but I was too drunk to express myself. I was also probably too drunk to be a great lover at that time, so maybe I did them a favor. But when you’re that drunk and the next morning all you can remember is destroying the ego of a skinny 25 year old, you know you didn’t imagine it.

It doesn’t help that there is way too much shitty, agenda-funded science today. And science we aren’t supposed to question. And science driven entirely by profit. Like, isn’t questioning science part of science? Of course the response is completely unreasonable too. All of my family are research scientists, and if a discovery doesn’t meet capitalistic goals, is it even a discovery at this point?

- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 1 month ago:
Between the cost of housing and the cost of food, and the fact wages aren’t that much better than they were 15 years ago - you’d think they would realize they are asking for the scraps people have left.
I’ve always just bought games when they’re on a good sale, I’ve never had a game pass type thing. But maybe they just want to squeeze a bit more out of their most loyal customers and they’re accepting that it is a dying model.
