Behind the Bastards dedicated their last Christmas episode to Aaron as well: iheart.com/…/part-one-christmas-hero-episode-aaro…

If only for a little extra oomph in your scrabble game.
- Comment on 'You're asking the accused ['Israel'] to investigate itself?' 3 weeks ago:
“Well, we have police departments investigate themselves…”
- Comment on Parents with genuinely good looking sons but mostly daughters. How do you make sure they don't build their whole personality around looks? 3 weeks ago:
Yep. “Wow, you picked out a cool outfit” is another way to compliment actual work and creativity rather than genetic lottery winnings.

You have to click the tongs every time you pick them up!
- Comment on Anon caused 9/11 4 weeks ago:
Burning the US flag except to dispose of it is considered offensive in the US as well.
- Comment on Am I going fucking crazy? (Regarding explicit songs being censored on various music streaming services.) 4 weeks ago:
Same. The other day I mistakenly told a trans woman early in her transition “thank you sir” as a reflex and all that happened was she gently said “I’m not a sir” and we moved on.
- Comment on Google Is Killing Retro Dodo & Other Independent Sites 1 month ago:
Better Offline (www.betteroffline.com) had an episode recently talking about how private equity has been killing journalism. This seems like a case for the site offering a subscription rather than just giving up. Video game journalism is kind of uniquely positioned to move to that model, especially something niche like a site that covers retro gaming. If they do it well, and I assume they do, their audience is likely willing to pay a few bucks a month for their work.
- Comment on What produced the old dead channel tv static audiovisuals on tvs? 1 month ago:
Here’s the real question: did Gibson write Neuromancer before or after Bill Gates said no one would ever conceivably need more than 640k of RAM?
- Comment on What produced the old dead channel tv static audiovisuals on tvs? 1 month ago:
Well apparently now astrophysicists are saying maybe the Big Bang didn’t happen. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
- Comment on I'm sorry, Grandpa 1 month ago:
Yeah. OP’s ancestors would more likely wonder what sort of wizard their descendant was.
- Comment on Derps of Tiktok 1 month ago:
Kurt Cobain would have utterly hated Chaya Raichik. I don’t know about Kris Noviselic (apparently he’s gotten a bit weird politically) but I’d bet Dave Grohl despises her.
- Comment on Sam O'Nella - Banned and Controversial Foods 1 month ago:
I think considering the whole world population the percentage of vegetarians may be much higher than you suspect. People who eat at least some meat are still a majority but probably a relatively small one.

So the Lorax is a myconid?
- Comment on How many times will I tell you? 2 months ago:
Yep, mathematically people sit more often than stand when using a toilet.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
The response they quote from Marianne Williamson is spot on. The response from Costco is pure PR. A really different and admirable response would be “we encourage unions so we can better understand our workers’ needs.”
- Comment on Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her 4 months ago:
We’re all complicit, but HR volunteered to be complicit.
- Comment on Next year's Christmas gift for that person in your life that you hate. 4 months ago:
Back in 1997 or so there was a web browser called Vogon Poetry, “the worst web browser on earth.”
- Comment on How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media? 4 months ago:
Way more thoughtful and open to discussing matters.
- Comment on The Mondragon Corporation: Employee Ownership as Strategy [47:42] 4 months ago:
Not “have stock in,” they are the only shareholders. This employees determine the destiny of the company and who their bosses are.
- Comment on Looking for an answer from Google 5 months ago:
Oof, I initially thought you found this and meant the poster should be contacting Apple.
I think I’d be more than “mildly” infuriated if a legit issue just got silenced every time it was posted.
- Comment on House Flipper 2 - Out Now! 5 months ago:
The vast majority of house flippers are not doing any kind of real renovation on properties. They are painting, putting on new fixtures, and putting in carpet, and then selling the property for 50% more than their purchase price.
- Comment on Panera founder says employees today aren't motivated by the idea of making money for shareholders: 'Nobody cares' 5 months ago:
If they’re not public already they don’t have shareholders as that term is typically used. They may have investors who are forcing them to go public because they don’t want a simple loan payback, they want the bonanza of an ipo.
- Comment on Someone in props in getting fired for that 5 months ago:
There was a photo set in some magazine around when Mad Men was filming their last season of the cast in their costumes looking at iPads and MacBooks, it was pretty cool.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Metal conducts heat more readily than water. Odd as it may sound, metal stuck into a hot beverage will burn your mouth/lips more readily than the liquid itself.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
To expand on accessibility, some people have neuromuscular issues that make drinking from a cup difficult. Some people have sensory issues that have the same end result. Straws help these people.
- Comment on Medieval Times Workers End Their Strike After 9 Months On The Picket Line, The Fight Isn't Over 5 months ago:
Seems a bit on the nose that workers at a restaurant themed around the feudal period are being treated like serfs.
- Comment on A challenge that most of you will find pretty easy. 5 months ago:
I’m a champion for a decade now
- Comment on When someone says landlords are asking for tips 5 months ago:
Should be the law everywhere. Of course, I also believe there should be a rent cap in every city, ideally $1-2 per square foot.
- Comment on GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour 6 months ago:
I read something like this and my immediate thought is “torches, pitchforks, guillotines.”
