I don’t. Embraced english food thought, even if not what they call food over there. Some rocks on my sliced and fried potatos and a bit of the same rocks on my red meat.
One does not eat chicken unseasoned tho. Tastes like cardboard.
- Comment on Why the fuck are you awake, don't have have work in like 3 hours??? 1 week ago:
Ya all are funny. If I get a text at night…not gonna notice. If you call me at night…not gonna notice. I have an alarm clock that literally requires me to solve logic puzzles to wake me up, because even the loudest alarm wakes me up only half the time, and even then I am “woken up”, aka will disable the alarm and go back to sleep without remembering a thing.
Slept through sirens, cat meowing and the like.
Only things I am sensitive to when sleepin is sounds of electic failure and my partner trying to wake me up. xD

…wait, making field kitchens is illegal in USA? I am not living there so I wouldn’t know. Can’t ya like throw barbeque in your backyard or smth?
- Comment on Park benches don't "open" until 10am 1 week ago:
Lemmy lol. Answer is simple. Everyday folks don’t like seein’ them, as they consider them lowlifes. City is doing “something” about it, so city is doing good. There are shelters, so it’s not like these people have no options.
Everyday folk don’t think about shelters being overcrowded, homeless being alcoholics/druggies just to cope with their situation and thus not being able to use shelters, or the fact that I’ve seen software devs, here on lemmy, mention being homeless or being in the past.
Most people are reactive, not proactive. They see dirty homeless person, they feel yucky, they tell said person to gtfo without thinking about the fact that it’s a person in the first place.

Yeah, that’s what I am saying, but will they have the balls to do so under the orange shitstain? He’s petty af.
- Comment on When Rockstar accidentally releases the dev build Island DLC 1 week ago:
Just a thought but…will Rockstar be willing to go against the orange turd? They satirised almost anything USA related for years, sassing then-current culture and events, but USA never had such a petty piece of worthless shit as POTUS before, did it?

Slaps the superships central computer “This here runs on 12 bits of memory! Our engineers really outdone themselves with optimisation this time.”

All I know are black companies where staff dies from exhaustion lol.
On the other hand company cannot fire you easily and they do have special rooms for workers they wanna let go, with menial and useless jobs assigned to basically force you into quitting.
Also quitting is so socially frowned upon that people hire other people to handle that for them.
- Comment on Just around the corner 2 weeks ago:
It’s not that I like summer per se. I like summer activities which are unaccesible out of summer xD Swimming in the sea/lake, SUP board, summer night walkies in the forest, wearing short clothing without being cold and, mostly, low amounts of rain not holding me hostage inside home. Not this year tho ._.
Spring and autumn can bite my ass.
Winter opens it’s own fun activities, altho I am not as much a fan.
- Comment on Just around the corner 2 weeks ago:
Goah this saddens me. I barely got to enjoy this summer at all x_x Mostly due to fucked up weather, it was fucking bipolar where I live (cold rain -> huge heat -> cold rain etc.). Thanks global warming.
- Comment on Uh-Oh 3 weeks ago:
Same opinion honestly, free speech with free consequences of it community-wise. If you’re an asshole, be an asshole but if people start avoiding you or straight up telling you to shut up it’s a you-problem.
And while on internet many folk became quite intolerant of different opinions, on lemmy especially it’s visible as the whole fedi is built around smaller, tighter knit communities. Which is cool, and I love it but it does tend to create echo chambers and skew perception of norm.
- Comment on Uh-Oh 3 weeks ago:
At best it’s encouraging sexual attraction to something that doesn’t exist
Which is literally xenophilia. People want to bonk with weird shit all the time - look at all the cases of people needing to be cut out of exhaust pipes or objects stuck in ass or vagina. Deviancy is normal, even if we all have different levels of it. That was the main part that made the xenophilia explanation work for me. Is xenophilia bad? Honestly not for me to judge, as it hurts no one and is pretty much unexplored when it comes to morality as we, kinda, never met any aliens in the first place. At least not en masse, if we try to keep open mind to conspiracy theories ;p
People want to bonk Transformers and we just give them weird look and carry on. People want to frick Cthulu and again, get weird look and carry on. I am of opinion furries also qualify there - they want to bonk something that doesn’t exist. Give a weird look and carry on.
and at worst those things that don’t exist look like a cross between humans who do exist and animals who do exist and that could cause people to fall on the wrong size of that actual animals part.
Yeah, I get ya there. But also there is a well documented thing of furries staying vigilant and hunting down actual zoophiliacs in the fandom. If someone gets too close to actual animal sex art, even if said animal is suggested to be sentient, fandom tends to implode on them and report them, which supports the idea they draw a very clean line between themselves and zoophilia. Which again supports the xenophilia claim.
About the guy you mentioned, I’m actually willing to bet he had nothing to do with furries. If furries were connected to zoophiliacs it would be mentioned more - people love attacking associated stuff and furries already have a huge target on their back. But almost every single time I saw an article about caught zoophiliac, it was a case of peanut butter and deviant curiosity with no moral brakes.
Heck, I have a furry friend, and while teasing him for shit and giggles once I wrangled the topic into more serious rails and it pretty much resulted in him saying he is still fully attracted to humans (and as dude is hetero, specifically women), it’s just that he likes the aesthetic. Similiar to catgirls, basically, just taken into full alien mode. I believe it’s safe to assume this applies to most furries - they are still attracted to humans rather than animals, they just like said humans having weird traits, basically not being vanilla. Which makes these furrsonas actual xenos rather than animals. Which supports xenophilia claim.
Which is still weird but not morally wrong, so there’s nothing wrong with letting them be. Althought they could actually try to minimalize the porn overflow T-T
- Comment on Uh-Oh 3 weeks ago:
Eh.
Kinda with you on that one. Never understood furries and with their porn/erotica overflow on the internet them saying “it’s not a sex thing!” seems pathetic. Especially that this is popular enough to breed a joke about struggling artist giving into the dark side of furry porn.
That being said, the best (and only sensible) way it was explained to me is that they perceive it more like xenophilia rather than anything close to actual animals. They perceive these chars more like aliens rather than animals crunched into human form.
Still feels iffy but I grasp them better with that explanation. Helps that they actively hunt down zoophiliacs in their fandom so there must be some meat on that explanation.

In short: Nerds got out-populated lol.
Everyone has a learning treshold. Nerds have it higher, normies lower. So the ratio of what’s popular shifts with the ratio of nerds. xD

Being too innocent for this world is the first for me lol. I assumed that due to first comment, why else call her slut?
Damn. Feels weird to be the naive/innocent one for once. xD
- Comment on sometimes nature is a tattle tale 3 weeks ago:
I wanted to point out cbeating is straight up evil. Then got back to image and checked…nowhere there is i fo about her being married. Or any other context.
And no, didn’t want to support dehumanisation, just point out calling a cheater slut isn’t that shocking, regardless of sex. But we don’t even have context for that lol.

- Comment on Centrists have such a Hard Choice. 5 weeks ago:
If you stop thinking about sides as whole and start thinking about singular choices, it becomes easy to understand where do centrists come from.
I like tradition. I don’t think it should be untouchable, but I think it should be preserved and continued overall. I dislike globalism, valuing feeling of community with people from my country. I hate the idea of bending backwards just to fully accomodate whims of other people, even if these pertain to their feeling of self.
On the other hand, I hate the idea of functionally sorting people based on their skin, using traditions to shame and attack others, or deeming others as worse just because what they feel themselves be is different than what we perceive.
I hate censorship from both sides, portrayal of the other side as dumb and themselves as better and tendency for “group-thing” for humanity as a whole.
So yeah, i deem myself centrist. But if you ask me to join the side fighting fascists, nazis or communists (in the USSR sense of the word), I’m with ya.

Seen cool smokers. They ain’t making a big thing of smoking. They just go out, take 5 mins to smoke, return to whatever they were doing.
Seen goofy smokers. People who are unaccustomed or try to make smoking part of their identity.
Both stink. Both are loathsome to be around. First kind may actually put some work into lessening that like mints tho. Still stink.

So, I am not an american and had to look the guy up. First of all, wtf. Second of all, wtf (but about your situation).
But at the end of the day, some people just don’t compute statements without face attached to them. :|

- Comment on We hate him no matter who he represents. 1 month ago:
- It puts legitimacy behind their statements. You are no longer discussing with an internet no-name weirdo, the person you are writing with has a name and face.
- They weild authority in the field or bear respect assigned to them and are thus using it…or simply used to writing under their name due to that.
- They’re one of “I have nothing to hide” folks. And I don’t mean surveilence apologists - I mean folk who have such weirdly strong ego (without being egoists. At least most of the time) that their belief in who they are is unshakeable. They tend to rawdog the world.
Some combination of the three above is most common in my perspective.
- Comment on Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games 1 month ago:
This is really such an weird argument. Like arguing that you want to be able to drive a nail with any tool you find, so no matter if these are scissors, a spoon or an actual hammer, all need to be usable as a hammer.
We have genres for a reason. If you do not like soulslikes, pick another game. If you have no time to play arcade style games, pick another genre. There are thousands of games available, and genre overlap is huge - don’t play games that aren’t meant to align with your requirements and then complain they don’t.
Like, this is borderline egoistical of you.
