Just celebrate now. Worst case scenario is he’s not actually dead but will be soon, so you can celebrate twice!

Why were you makeing such a snarky comment to someone on how “somehow engagement must have worked on you”?
Not everything is about engagement and algorithms. We’re on a message board. We leave messages. It’s not about bait or lawl you fell for the algorithm. It’s a message board where people comment their thoughts and opinions on things.

I’d rather dig my eyes out with my fingers.
- Comment on Groceries are expensive and they're too busy talking about culture war 2 weeks ago:
Both can be true.
I don’t support billionaires lifestyles and I think something should be done about it.

“Um… I don’t know but I should find out! They could be trying to invade girls bathrooms! I’m going to spend all my money to support this obvious life threatening situation!”
“Lettuce now gives you diarrhea!”
What else is on? “Police called on gay men holding hands!”

Oh shut the fuck up, Lemmy doesn’t have algorithms that deal with content bail bullshit like this. Take your karma farming comments to reddit.

- Comment on The Price of this Candy Bar 2 weeks ago:
How I spend my money is completely up to me, not some jag off on the Internet who thinks they’re better than others.
- Comment on The Price of this Candy Bar 2 weeks ago:
Like seriously, don’t spend money on food that has zero nutritional value and is actively harmful to your health.
Oh fuck off with this holier than thou horseshit. It’s a chocolate bar. People aren’t living off these things as their only meals every day of the week. It’s a treat coming home from work, or for a job well done.

Except that financial incentive makes you 100% responsible if that patron you let keep drinking leaves and kills someone on the way home.
Bars and restaurants have an obligation to know when to cut people off. They have a legal responsibility, and if they fail that could lose their license forever.

- Comment on one step closer to 100%'ing life!! 3 weeks ago:
I was raised pretty middle-upper class. Only child. My dad made 6 figures. I had a lot of privilege growing up and I knew I did. I was well informed on family finances, investments, etc. We were also frugal(ish) in spending. We went camping every year which I loved, but very few things like vacations, new cars, etc. We had a modest house in a small town. My parents would always just have a shit ton of money saved in savings accounts or investments.
Fast forward to today, they helped my partner and I buy a small farm halfway across the country. We’re a single income house (my partner has disabilities that prevents them from working). We live paycheque to paycheque because I like spending money. Local farmers market, buying things for the farm, and I get a little money spendy because my parents never really did that. I learned all the tips and tricks growing up and once let loose I didn’t really care. Never did.
We’re financially perfectly okay. We have debt like everyone else, but it’s manageable. But we don’t save anything. We’re trying to now this past year but it’s slow because I work in town and my partner will want me to pick up this thing from Canadian Tire, or this from Home Hardware, and always needing new things, or upgrading things on the century old house and homestead.
Basically, I was raised with money and my parents didn’t spend a lot of it. They’re very well off now. I do the opposite. I don’t really care much about the future, as hopefully we can break even on the farm. But we are trying to live more in the now than my parents ever did. Financially, I am very different from my parents.

How do you know? Not to mention in my 40 years on this Earth I’ve never heard of anyone putting paper on toilet seats who isn’t a germaphopic sociopath.
Do you put toilet paper down every time you shit on your own toilet? That’s a REALLY weird thing to do. I’m all for the seat shaped hospital paper liners in most public bathrooms but ripping up toilet paper just to have it stick to your gross ass is really fucking weird my guy.

Are you, an Internet stranger, telling me how my sensory processing disorder should operate?
- Comment on People who piss on the toilet seat in a men's restroom. 3 weeks ago:
That’s a really weird thing to do. My sensory disorder feels violated through the screen.
- Comment on People who piss on the toilet seat in a men's restroom. 3 weeks ago:
I’ve literally gone into public bathrooms with no urinals, only stalls, and the seats don’t lift up. You have no choice but to aim and pray.
Except I’m not a degenerate and I’ll grab some paper and wipe anywhere I missed.

- Comment on You Used To Be Cool. Pfft, Sell Out 3 weeks ago:
Dude I grew up in the 90s. My parents had shit from the 60s-80s that they still own today. Consumer products were made to last because if they didn’t the company would go out of business. Now every company and their dog is enshitifying everything and if they go out of business, the government will just bail them out, rename themselves, and carry on making garbage.
There’s a reason Nokia phones being indestructible is a meme, because they genuinely were. I had one as a child.
Obviously profit was the end goal, but making good shit people wanted would get more money for the company. Now it’s just quarterly earnings by all means. Longevity doesn’t matter as long as line goes up this month.
