Sorry I’m kind of slow. I still don’t get it?
Like, what does the snow represent?
- Comment on How/why does Microsoft teams exist? 3 days ago:
With all the Microsoft renaming, I don’t know if Microsoft Teams is a chat app, a project management tool, or some Xbox extension now.
- Comment on in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention 5 days ago:
That’s better than my Israeli coworker. Coffee and cigarette.
- Comment on It was a surprise for sure 1 week ago:
One time I thought our 5yo was asleep in her room for nap time.
So I decided to get frisky with my wife under the covers.
Wife starts making noise. And 5yo crawls out of the child dimension and goes, “Why are you making that noise?”
We had to pretend like she was having some pain and then she played doctor.
- Comment on welp 1 week ago:
I’m sorry you’re right. I was silly to have thought that.
(Cheat code to get out of any argument)
- Comment on Huh? 2 weeks ago:
All the dive bars in my area are filled with people smoking.
I think I aged out of it.
- Comment on With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes? 2 weeks ago:
OP, ignore a lot of these commenters. Remember that Lemmy is international, and does not reflect actual Americans who are stepping up. You’re asking the Internet, many doom scroll then bitch and then repeat and do nothing else.
Remember that Lemmy is still social media - which means it’s unprotected and anybody can read it. You’re not going to find these conversations openly. Because that’s a huge safety risk.
The community groups already exist. Maybe not in small towns, but every city has something. It won’t be called anything like “self-defense”, which is actually harmful to the core message of creating only peaceful protests.
But being involved in the non-violent aspect will help you start to get in the know. If you’re already in self defense groups (everything from martial arts to your local gun range), bring up your interest in activism.
In other words, you won’t find your answer here.
- Comment on With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes? 2 weeks ago:
Contrary to popular belief: Going to a protest isn’t the only way to show your dislike. Protesters are the front line.
The back line is support. First aid people. Armed citizens acting as guards. Legal observators. Saboteurs. Tech people to amplify the message. All of these are not at a protest, but assembled through online groups and community events.
You need both lines, and there’s a lot of roles out there.

Ah I wonder from who
- Comment on What a great idea 2 weeks ago:
I’ll do one better.
Every extra item gets to be used against the customer to harm them.
The extra item is a can of tuna? Well, we’ll beat you with the tuna. The extra item is a hammer? Well, apologies my good man, but you know the rule.
- Comment on Clever 2 weeks ago:
I agree with you on all counts.
Scottish folk kinda sound like they’re saying Age as in H. But it’s more Eeetch, and it’s still a stretch and still unfunny.
- Comment on The boy who was relentlessly bullied by his uncle 3 weeks ago:
Same energy.
- Comment on Mom with the real questions 3 weeks ago:
Sorry. Going to have to ask her to politely leave.
No God no kings (or queens).
- Comment on Mom with the real questions 3 weeks ago:
I have one! It goes from 2 ppl to 6 people by extending. Found it while thrifting.
- Comment on Mom with the real questions 3 weeks ago:
My wife’s grandma offloaded her fancy china on us. When we brought it to Goodwill, they went “Parents or Grandparents?” And they told me this is like their tenth donation this week.
- Comment on Another social event, another ultragigagigantic mistake. 4 weeks ago:
People who live on the internet forget how to act in real life
- Comment on Another social event, another ultragigagigantic mistake. 4 weeks ago:
We played Jackbox and a gen Z guy did the trifecta - homophobic pedo rape joke.
It was so uncomfortable that he chose to quit two weeks later.
- Comment on Day 533 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 4 weeks ago:
Today’s game is Subnautica. After hearing the news about Krafton i was really disappointed. This was a big game to me when i was younger, and i’ve kind of been trying to figure out how to play this without budging on my morals. The answer seems kind of obvious, but it was hard to pull off for me for some reason.
I haven’t kept up with the news. What’s the issue?
- Comment on What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA? 4 weeks ago:
For clarity: The Democratic party in the US, based on their talking points, is considered right wing in much of the world. The conservative party in the US, based on their talking points, is considered far right wing in much of the world.
In the US: We have “actual” left wing politicians, who frequently are shouted down and forced to align themselves with Democrats to get any sort of movement.
The two party system works to keep those two teams going.
- Comment on How much money should one person realistically make or have? 4 weeks ago:
This is a difficult question because we don’t have an agreed upon baseline of what “living” looks like worldwide.
Some countries may say, “living a long life.” Other countries may say, “And a roof over your head.” And Other countries may say, “That and a yearly vacation.”
Also, it’s sad to say that million dollars isn’t even “dick around” money anymore. My wife’s retired grandparents retired on a million at age 70. They’re living okay, very modestly at age 90. Medicine is fucking expensive, hip surgeries, paying for physical therapy, etc. No brand new cars or fancy trips. Just coupon clipping and finding lunch deals.
- Comment on "But why? You can just do that with a <big tech company> account." 4 weeks ago:
Someone complaining about ads? Welp, better explain pihole and then slowly go into a rabbit hole of degoogling. Getting off of Microsoft and apple, moving your data out of corpo hands etc.
- Comment on Do Costcos usually have an ATM machine? 4 weeks ago:
I have five of them near me and yeah.
I also just searched and found out that apparently there’s Bitcoin ATMs as well? Can’t say I’ve seen them.
- Comment on Been a long time since I smoked but if I opened the door to my fireplace and tossed in a kilo of pot and just let the smoke fill up the house will everyone in my house get high? 4 weeks ago:
Well damn.
2.2 lbs (1kg) can cost roughly $1,500 - $6,000.
amsterdammarijuanaseeds.com/…/how-much-is-a-pound…
I recall seeing signs of an ounce being sold as low as $40, (making it $640 a lb) which is probably terrible quality.
If the question is: “I am trying to make everyone in my household hallucinate, whats the cheapest thing I can do?”, now we’re having fun.

- Comment on Anon tries to understand credit scores 5 weeks ago:
A few pieces of history here
- The credit system didn’t exist until around 1989.
- Back then, your “trustworthiness” was vague. So if you were black in America walking into a bank, they can easily reject you. And they’d pass this information around like “So-and-so was rejected because
he was blackwe at the Ku Klux bank believe he is untrustworthy” so now banks all over the US has that information and will auto reject you. - In 1970s, they push laws to deny credit based on gender, religion, race. You know, because women couldn’t have bank accounts.
So, the credit system fixed a few problems.
Now, there’s a few other issues. Credit score + education + zip code easily tells people more about you. Lots of data loopholes.
Im disgusted by the credit score system for the points you laid out. And it’s a imperfect system that did solve some big problems.

Here you go my good sir, and keep up the fight.
- Comment on True of mine but he more than made up for it 5 weeks ago:
I feel like people assume parenting is everyone is doing everything.
As a dad, I cook and clean. I wash dishes. I organize.
My wife wash clothes, fixes things around the house, and shops for goods.
So yeah, she buys all the presents, because she loves doing it. I’m making Christmas breakfast and dinner, because that’s my thing. We can do both.
- Comment on True of mine but he more than made up for it 5 weeks ago:
No offense taken, as a dad.
My wife LOVES shopping for the kids and finding deals. I love helping the kids figure out what they want, and translating it to my wife.
It’s a partnership.

I mean DOGE hired dozens of high school and college students running amok with AI in critical systems. It was a pretty coordinated attempt at culling professionals.

Don’t encourage good people to quit.
