- Comment on Anon sees a happy couple 18 hours ago:
This reminds me of a time I had people over when my roommates, who happened to be 2 very attractive girls went out and just secomds after they left, one guy said “How come you get to live with 2 extremely hot girls?!” and I was like “Because I don’t say shit like that”. Wanna know the best part? His girlfriend was there.

Being a not as short person that’s into taller people but lives in a short country. All the same problems but I don’t even get to say I’m tall. I was recently in Budapest and a guy dropped a beer on me because he turned around and literally didn’t even register me existing around 20cm below his eye line. He was very nice about the whole thing and even bought me a beer but man…
- Comment on "Star Trek is dying." How would you sell it to a younger audience? 1 week ago:
Either reboot it or let it die. If I wanted to make the effort to dive into such an convoluted world, I’d get into LotR. I will never understand everybody’s fascination with decades old franchises with impenetrable lore. Nothing against Star Trek specifically, I’m just tired of seeing media and thinking “Oh, that looks interesting, I’d like to get into that” just to find out there’s a backlog of 47 years of world building I have to catch up on before I get to enjoy it. This is why I never got into Dr. Who, Star Trek, LotR, Warhammer or WoW.

I am 31. I will make sure to go to the local high school to find girls who just turned 18 and woo them with cheap gifts. No imbalance of power or manipulation happening between consenting adults, amirite?
- Comment on Anon finds a new way to get protein 1 week ago:
Yeah… that doesn’t seem like a reliable site. Seems like the owner just reads the labels and assigns a rating based on their own undocumented scoring system. They also have no particular qualifications for the work they’re doing and make several clerical errors due to their own bias. For example, they don’t count anything listed only as “protein” as protein because you can’t trust the manufacturer to not lie on the label. This is literally a label compiling site.
For the record, I don’t feed my cat Royal Canin, I was only commenting on the smell. Nevertheless, I would advise everyone to steer away from that site.

Yes. They are people. Probably nice people. I’m sure there’s bunch of cops who are also nice people. Doesn’t matter. The problem is systemic. ACAB includes military.

True but Royal Canin’s beef flavor does smell tempting.

Do you mean “cat food isn’t even less expensive…”

I spent my 20s doing drugs and banging everything that glanced in my general direction.
- Comment on What is a metaphor you like in your language? 2 weeks ago:
A couple of figures of speech from Mexico that I find equally nonsensical:
Simón: Means yes.
Nelson: Means no.
Mátala(o) (kill it): to finish a drink or a snack.
Jalar (pull): To go somewhere or agree to a plan. You may also hear its long form “¿jalas o te pandeas?” (do you pull or do you bend?) meaning “are you coming or not?”.
¿Se va hacer o no se va a hacer la carnita asada? (Are we doing or not the carne asada?): It means “Is the plan still on?”
Chapulinear: There’s no literal translation for this one but I guess it would be like “grasshopper-ing”. It means seducing a friend’s partner.
Tirando el perro (throwing the dog): Flirting.
Arma la vaca (build the cow): To make a small fundraise.
Here’s a modern one:
Quesadilla: Means “that’s so sad” because it sounds like *Qué sad (illa)*tal

That sounds like a very severe case of untreated depression. I know anon is 33 but where the fuck were his parents for the first 20 years of their life?

Way to miss the point, buddy. This is why I had to put a disclaimer in the title.

I’ll just refer you to this other comment I made.

Ah, there’s the racist dog whistle. Fuck off.
- Comment on The one drawback to walking at night 2 weeks ago:
Because it happens enough to be a problem. Mexicans are also more likely to die from any of those things than from cartel violence so I guess cartels are not a problem? I’m gonna assume you suck at statistics, because the alternative is that you’re sexist.

Also dress modestly to make sure you don’t provoke men with your body.
Go away.
- Comment on The one drawback to walking at night 2 weeks ago:
Enacting change is not the point of the post, it’s just a woman making a joke about the way she experiences life to others who may experience life in the same way. Men just got their feelings hurt and now, instead of trying to prove they’re not sexist, they’re in full denial about the rampant oppression women live every day.

I’m gonna bring this thread up the next time people throw a tantrum when I say Lemmy is sexist.

Yeah, it’s definitely the owner’s fault. That doesn’t change the fact that the underpaid schmuck always tries to blame the customer for not leaving a tip.
- Comment on Anon gives up on Bitcoin in 2010 2 weeks ago:
Remember the kind of people who got really into NFTs? That’s exactly the kind of people who got really into bitcoin 15 years ago, they just happened to get extremely lucky. There’s a reason why most bitcoin millionaires are such incompetent douchebags.
