- Comment on Is empathy based on a financial bell curve? 4 days ago:
I think you’ll find that at every level. It’s certainly very prevalent anong middle-class suburbanites.
- Comment on Why is there such a negative connotation with the poos of horses, bulls, and bats? 5 days ago:
Okay, meaningless or spurious.
- Comment on Why are ghosts never racist? 5 days ago:
How do you know you haven’t?
- Comment on Why is there such a negative connotation with the poos of horses, bulls, and bats? 5 days ago:
Bullshit is meaningless talk or meaningless tasks.
Horseshit is a falsehood.
Batshit is crazy or deranged.
Dogshit is something low-quality.
- Comment on Why does Dairy Queen sell food? 6 days ago:
So you can get dinner and dessert at the same place.
- Comment on Do you ever feel like your inside thoughts are leaking out? 6 days ago:
No.
TBF, I don’t really try to keep most things inside anyway, so there’s only a few I need to keep the lid on.
- Comment on Spicy food never affects my gut and everyone thinks it's really weird. How unusual is this and what could be happening to explain why spicy food doesn't affect me? 1 week ago:
I share this blessing. I’m still confused by how exactly people are tasting how spicy their precious meal was when it’s on the way back out.
- Comment on Is empathy based on a financial bell curve? 1 week ago:
No, the working class and the lower class are both very empathic. I’m guessing you haven’t spent very much time with us.

I’ve been carfree in Chicago for two decades, I highly recommend it. I keep my license current for emergencies and the odd once-a-year rental situation, but don’t own one. It’s cheaper and safer this way.

MRW I’m on a list with the CIA and the NRA but it’s the Culinary Institute of America and the National Restaurant Association.
- Comment on What would happen if the Earth was sucked into a black hole? 1 week ago:
We’d suffocate and then be crushed.
- Comment on Instead of asking all my stupid questions separately, could I just get a ton of "How to Adult" type resources in the comments? 1 week ago:
Your first time doing taxes, go to the public library and grab the paper copy of the instructions, even if you’re submitting it electronically. Read them and highlight anything that’s confusing or important.
Laundry: Use less detergent than you think, and colder water than you think. Don’t machine-dry any wool and most synthetic fabrics.
ADHD? Look into a bullet journal for keeping track of important info. This is not a product, it’s a method, and you can do it with a 50¢ composition book. The main benefit for someone with ADHD is that it’s stupid easy to start and doesn’t break if you forget to do it for a day or a week or a month.
Buying insurance? Hiring a contractor? Know your budget and get at least three quotes before deciding.
You don’t get promoted by being good at your current job. You get promoted by asking for it, or by jumping to a different company.
Start investing now. Pick a stock or fund that’s boring but steady and buy $50 worth (or more, if you can afford it), rain or shine. Don’t stress about optimizing it; even boring investments should have a return well above inflation.
Never lend anyone money. It will destroy your relationship 90% of the time. If someone needs help and you want to help them, just give them the money. Either they’ll pay it back some other way or they’ll pay it forward, but no matter what it won’t be hanging between you.
If times are hard, don’t be afraid or ashamed to take advantage of programs or food banks. That’s what they’re there for. You’re not taking it away from someone who needs it more, most food banks have a big overflow from week to week. If you feel bad about using these programs when you’re down, well, make sure to donate or volunteer when you’re up.

not what I wrote
- Comment on Why are you here and not on Reddit? 2 weeks ago:
Upvoting and down voting were always about sorting content by worthiness, and they are the same function here.
- Comment on Why are you here and not on Reddit? 2 weeks ago:
because the official app is ad-infested bloatware without decent modtools that gobbles my data bucket and keeps trying to show me popular / all instead of just my subscriptions
and because reddit cancelled all my coins and then brought out a new microtransaction currency within the year
and because spez is a shill for the US President and his reactionary right-wing entourage
- Comment on Why are you here and not on Reddit? 2 weeks ago:
same but RIF
- Comment on Why are you here and not on Reddit? 2 weeks ago:
No ads, working third-party mobile apps, better community, better discussion, fewer farmers and bots and less spam, and people generally post a text synopsis when linking to a video
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I’d say “the sky” but either way.
- Comment on was made a moderator of community without asking and against my preferenc 2 weeks ago:
I logged in from a different browser and saw the message that I’d been made a mod. Admins helped me sort it.

Ha! Okay, I admit I forgot about that. Guess I’d better get to work.

- Comment on Can you read and understand this passage? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, and I can translate it for you if need be.
- Comment on Did people experience doom scrolling with newspapers and magazines? 3 months ago:
Maybe not, but they definitely did with television.
- Comment on What's something that you find unintentionally scary/creepy but isn't? 4 months ago:
I personally find the children’s poems of Maurice Sendak creepy, but I think that’s intentional. To my mind, it’s Carol King singing “Chicken Soup with Rice” all cheerful that’s misreading the vibe.
- Comment on if you ever traveled 1K miles by bus, would you recommend it? 9 months ago:
I traveled a thousand miles by bus but it was direct with only one “rest” stop and it was also overnight. Went to sleep on my way out of one city, woke up on my way into another.
I’ve also done longer trips with multiple stops and changing busses. I brought a book. It was fine.
When you’ve got less money and more time, it’s a good option to have.
- Comment on Ok so coffee is made from coffee beans. And beans are *also* made from beans. Why is nobody making, like, black bean coffee? 9 months ago:
Their beauty is beyond compare.
- Comment on Ok so coffee is made from coffee beans. And beans are *also* made from beans. Why is nobody making, like, black bean coffee? 9 months ago:
Coffee “beans” are closer to cherry pits than any real bean.
- Comment on Why I Haven't Seen Any Trump Supporters In Fediverse (Lemmy and Mastodon)? 9 months ago:
I’m sure even non-Ameticans can tell the difference between an uppercase and lowercase letter L.
- Comment on If you have sex with a clone of yourself, is it incest? 9 months ago:
Or is it masturbation?
