- Comment on Why do we have alcohol advertisements. We don't allow cigarettes to advertise 2 weeks ago:
oh yeah. I actually think everything should have at least a small transaction tax like 1% but thinks that are bad for you do a bit more. Man would day trading come down if that was the case.
- Comment on Why do we have alcohol advertisements. We don't allow cigarettes to advertise 2 weeks ago:
basically alcohol gets a pass because its a drug that has been in use since the stone age. Im a big “victimless” crimes person and I would like to see much legalized but I would like them all put into a category where its allowed at home or at licensed establishments and advertising is limited to private residences or at businesses that are in the category. I would restrict the signage for the businesses to. So the brothel, race track, casino, dispensiary, liquor store would look rather non descript from the outside but all would have controlled entry to only allow adults and inside it would likely be filled with ads for other establishments.
- Comment on How is Alexander the Great so great he gets that name, but not so great that just “Alexander”doesn’t disambiguate him? 2 weeks ago:
there are a lot of caesar’s. thats a title. other than that I can say its like a tornada fought a volcana while eating a potata with a side of tomata.
- Comment on Why is society at large okay with euthanasia for pets but not for humans? 2 weeks ago:
I get you but its not like its either or. If anything statistics about euthanasia would at least be an argument that social programs are insufficient. Sorta the ultimate weigh. If all places allowed it, it would likely be a pretty obvious metric for quality of life. You could not get it to zero but it would be obvious what places are not even trying. Come to think of it its obvious now why many politicians do not want to see that right be a thing.
- Comment on Why is society at large okay with euthanasia for pets but not for humans? 2 weeks ago:
No idea. Its kinda crazy because they will do hospice where you allow them to die and give painkillers to mitigate the torture but won’t just end it. My mom had a stroke and they would not give her an overdose of barbituates but would give her some so her dehydration death was theoretically not as painful as it might otherwise be for whatever she could feel in her kinda coma condition. Took a week or more. They say 3 days without water but it takes longer than that.
- Comment on Why is the US so into Israel? 2 weeks ago:
xstians. They are huge on “proving” their religion right by prophecy coming to pass so they put a lot of effort to self fulfill them.
- Comment on If you (a regular American citizen) had actionable, insider knowledge about the US Federal Government/Military and felt the public should know, how would you tell everyone? 2 weeks ago:
if I could get on colbert or something similar.
- Comment on How do I drink more water? 2 weeks ago:
story time. growing up my older brother kept a glass vodka bottle filled with water near his bed. He was just starting college and I was a kid with my friend over on a weekend. He was sleeping in. He wakes up and like every morning downs the bottle of water. My friend comes to me and is like. Your brother just drank a whole bottle of vodka!
- Comment on How do I drink more water? 2 weeks ago:
Im in your boat being a soda holic but I have found that having water with you always cold and plenty even if you have something else. You will find you drink it and the more you drink it the more you do. Its the habit of keeping it on hand at that point which is the limiting factor.
- Comment on AI job scams are booming – and I was fooled by one. Here is how to avoid them 2 weeks ago:
Anything that asks me for stuff then they will send more details gets the response. Details now and if I like it I will send you more. Its kinda funny with me as I list the stuff im doing while unemployed. So I will get. We need a guru tech guy with in depth and recent substitute teaching experience. blah blah to get more details. im always like, please pray tell me this postion where this part of my background is so important.
- Comment on Introducing Framework Laptop 13 Pro 2 weeks ago:

I learn fast and forget quick. Im super jelly of the retired at 35 thing. im unemployed at 53.
- Comment on What's the best way to tell a kid that their dog died? 3 weeks ago:
How old? How often have they been exposed to the concept from stories or media or such? Agree with @onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe that you just tell them but for anyone who comes across here with kids it might be good to keep in mind with what exposure your kids get before it hits in reality.
- Comment on should the BBQ cover be put back on after every use ... or just once at the end of BBQ season 3 weeks ago:
this is highly location and circumstance dependent. Like we just had storms with possible hail yesterday. If you had started using it you might want to throw on the cover at least depending. If its completely out in the open with no cover at all then you should throw the cover on I would say. If its in a place with a kinda roof above it then you can be lazy and just throw it on if the weather looks bad or whatver.
- Comment on How do people force themselves to write something, even if they're NOT inspired? 3 weeks ago:
just do a diary. piers anthony fans used to look forward more to his authors notes than his books (almost) which was pretty much a little story of what was happening with his life. Keep a diary and reread and see about rewriting more interesting bits into an amusing little story.
- Comment on Please say I'm not the only one 3 weeks ago:
Im not sure your illustration or explanation quite fits but certainly every so often. Maybe averageing once a year. something goes wrong and you end up putting stuff in the laundry. Its to unoften to remember the specifics but something goes off script.
- Comment on ChatGPT’s latest stylistic quirk is sinister, infuriating – and absolutely everywhere 3 weeks ago:
I got accused of being ai lately due to my tendency at horrendous writing. I think its just a new go to for people who don’t want to engage sincerely if it involves any challenge to what they said.

my wife likes it. I have to admit that seemingly being able to climb anywhere is sorta needs. Does feel more open.
- Comment on Despite Apocalyptic Warnings, California Fast Food Wage Hike Didn’t Kill Jobs 3 weeks ago:
I never thought of it that way but yeah. Its kinda funny to because inflation makes things more expensive so mayb relative wise its not so much more but you need to be that much more careful with lower amounts because you basically don’t have discretional spending dough.
- Comment on How come they don't make generic drugs for cats and dogs. I love my sisters buddy to death. Its just weird that all my meds are generic but animals are name brand. I just hate spend 250 every 3 mon. 3 weeks ago:
I swear we have gotten generics for our dogs for some things but can’t recall what.
- Comment on If you were in Jail would you stick withe bible or be interest in other religions? 3 weeks ago:
I think kinda the appeal though is the god thing. like most greek/roman is about the heroes and not as much about the gods. The way loki goes from just trickster god that is actually kinda liked for being fun and taking one for the team to get valhalla built. He got sorta worse and worse but never crossed the line really till he ate the witches heart.
- Comment on Despite Apocalyptic Warnings, California Fast Food Wage Hike Didn’t Kill Jobs 3 weeks ago:
yeah that inflation was before the wage hike and you stopped back then. So did my wife and I although much earlier and we don’t live in cali. I never realized how much the cheap in fast food effected my consuming of it. Once buck things became a thing of the past that was pretty much it. Same actually with lottery tickets. would throw down a buck every so often just to give a basis to fantasize but two or three bucks. Forget it. Pretty sure it will be a fiver soon.

ooh norse is the best myth wise. best stories to me. I mean lokis whole arc is great.
- Comment on When did the world change to the so called hashtag? When I was younger it was only the pound sign. So hashtag Taylor Swift still reads in my mind pound Taylor Swift? 3 weeks ago:
It was pound sign to me and the first time I heard hashtag was people describing twitter things which I never got into.
- Comment on If you were in Jail would you stick withe bible or be interest in other religions? 3 weeks ago:
bible. ewwww. definately would go with lord of the rings if im limited on what fantasy stories I could read.

- Comment on Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game? 3 weeks ago:
There was a neo geo game I played alot in the arcades. You like had these spheres or something that would change your form and abilities. Not a lot of abilities though so its not like it used joystick motion plus button combos or such.
- Comment on Hot Take: most modern games are designed to purely kill time 3 weeks ago:
most entertainment is about killing time. Some really great stuff has come out in recent time. I think the problem is more stuff overall with about the same amount of good stuff.
- Comment on Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game? 3 weeks ago:
im not sure I understand. Isn’t that what it is or do you mean like street fighter doing the double dragon thing? (or turtles or avengers or xmen)
