Minority opinion, but I like those style caps. I like that I dont have to hold the cap. It’s much easier on the go.

In terms of the global economy I doubt any of us could raise enough capital to impact corporate strategy
- Comment on America last night 5 weeks ago:
So the US, Israel, and Germany have been directly involved in this conflict thus far.
Russia is currently in a war with Ukraine as we know, and has announced their support of Iran. North Korea has been sending troops to this conflict. US and much of western Europe is already involved in some way.
China has been reported sending some kind of undisclosed aid to Iran already.
Currently unrelated but Pakistan and India just had a border skirmish. Pakistan does border Iran.
There’s a lot of instability and World Wars worth of countries involved already. It truly wouldn’t take much to start connecting some of these conflicts. If that happens it gets much bigger
- Comment on Anon likes trains 5 weeks ago:
50 minutes isn’t that bad tbh. I dont remember the last time I flew that there wasn’t a delay. Hell even the whole arriving 2 hours before ,finding parking, going through security is all so much more of a hassle.
I’d much rather walk 5 minutes to the local subway head to the hauptbahnhof and wait 50 extra minutes for my train. I can at least go get a reasonably priced coffee while I wait.

Assuming they are all from Illinois, it wouldn’t have mattered. That state already voted blue. Gotta live the electoral college
- Comment on Due to American politics I'm afraid of using high speed rail in Germany 1 month ago:
Honestly as an American, when I visited Germany I bought a deutschland and used regional transit to travel most of the country. I used the DB navigator app.
It was hands down the best travel of my life. Just hop on a train and go anywhere. The delays were usually well recorded in the app and I could usually just reroute.
I was traveling for leisure though so waiting an extra 10 minutes was not a big deal, but all the city transit and local trains seemed to be mostly on time. Regional were the only ones I encountered with delays.

You are well within your rights to protest using any flag your like. Don’t buy the bullshit.
- Comment on British photojournalist hit during Los Angeles protests to undergo emergency surgery 1 month ago:
You can’t just shoot people that aren’t breaking any laws. Press or not.
What they’ll lie and tell you is that a gathering can be declared illegal, but that’s bullshit. If I’m standing there peacefully and someone else does something illegal I have not violated the law. I should not be guilty by association and I should not be stripped of my rights to peacefully assemble.
- Comment on alternatives to lemm.ee? 1 month ago:
This is exactly what I was hoping to find. I typically browse through all and picked lemm.ee for their moderation style.
I’m sad to see it go.
- Comment on Is lemm.we actually shutting down? 1 month ago:
I do typically browse by all so lemmy.dbzer0.com may be the better option. I like how lemm.ee wasn’t defederated from that many instances
- Comment on Is lemm.we actually shutting down? 1 month ago:
Anyone have suggestions for similar instances?
I assume my user account will also go down? I’m new to the lemmy community so I don’t know how this would interfere with me being able to comment and post on other instances from this account
- Comment on The solution to many problems 1 month ago:
I think there’s a difference between prepared food and processed food. It can be a blurry line though.
Maybe it is just being European though. American food standards are trash. The stuff allowed in our food is insane
- Comment on The solution to many problems 1 month ago:
This is a bit disingenuous. When listed like that on food it’s because all of those were added in individually to create an ultra processed amalgamation resembling food. Otherwise ingredients would just say bannana.
Processed foods have been clinically shown to be harmful to us. Bannanas seem to be okay

Imagine if growing a plant in your home was legal and the police had to figure out something else to do with their time
- Comment on Anon discovers cigarettes 1 month ago:
I’d argue it’s worse. I’ve met people that never stop vaping. I’ve even know some sleep vapers.
I’d say if you used it as a 1 to 1 replacement for smoking it’s probably better, but if you hit it 10 times as often as you’d smoke a cigarette you’re going to be worse off
- Comment on Anon discovers cigarettes 1 month ago:
I smoked occasionally while drinking at bars/parties. Bought a few packs to smoke/share. Never smoked outside of those times and at worst it was maybe every other week.
I guess I had a decent addiction tolerance.
- Comment on Anon discovers cigarettes 1 month ago:
Ah yes my daily nicotine coffee
- Comment on Anon discovers cigarettes 1 month ago:
A drunk cigarette is quite nice ngl, usually makes the hangover worse though
- Comment on 'The Last of Us' Season 2 Finale Viewership Down 55% From Season 1 2 months ago:
Not to mention the failure to actually develop any characters. Most seemed to learn a lesson/grow one episode and then revert back immediately the next episode
- Comment on 'The Last of Us' Season 2 Finale Viewership Down 55% From Season 1 2 months ago:
Cartoons did, but most shows aired for adults lasted 40+ minutes

My dad did the exact opposite and it has absolutely trashed our relationship.
- Comment on Helpful tip for this weekend 2 months ago:
It’s basically why I don’t order pizza anymore. Even if you directly order from the store they just partner out with a random app. Like no I don’t want my pizza to arrive 2 hours later cold. Thanks though

My good friend Bill Dillon himself in friends homes and leaves the shit covered object under their couch.
I have a habit of leaving pantry doors open when cooking.
Same thing really
- Comment on Pope Joan 2 months ago:
Archaeologist here, maybe it’s just new wave training but widely taught that it’s not an easy task to sex skeletons on morphology alone.
Sure some features appear more commonly amongst men and some more commonly amongst women, but there is considerable overlap.
Pelvis are generally identifiable, but the bio-archaeologists I know prefer to say the skeleton displays female characteristics without providing a definitive biological sex. They have to have some great evidence before claiming for certain.
Also fun fact, you can’t measure this morphology when there’s still skin and muscle fucking attached.
- Comment on Polar bears 2 months ago:
Nah that was their time. If you gave the average group of humans 40,000 years ago and an average group of modern day humans spears and told them to hunt a polar bear, the group from the past would be much more successful.
Obviously our technology today makes it an easier task, but I’m very impressed at what our ancestors were capable of.
Look up cave bears for a treat.
- Comment on Polar bears 2 months ago:
I mean we basically successfully hunted every animal in the planet. Wouldn’t say it’s fair to call them morons
