I’m not sure you understood. The fire is all of the other nonsense policies that trump comes up with, and that his party is likely to impose.
- Comment on I'm not worried you're worried 1 week ago:
Is trump going to do anything different though?
Former President Donald Trump declared Tuesday that Israel must “finish the problem” in its war against Hamas

If the above is true, I don’t know why anyone would bring his up. It’s like choosing between two seats on a bus. One has broken glass on it, the other has broken glass and is on fire.
- Comment on Adulting rule 3 weeks ago:
I genuinely use this technique to get myself out go and exercise sometimes.
Seeing my body as a pet I need to take for a walk can be a weird but helpful mindset.
- Comment on Anon is sick 3 weeks ago:
Literally everyone acts like im some sort of evil disgusting monster and stays as far away from me as possible
The bit anon left out is that this is how everyone treats him everyday, sick or not.
- Comment on The internet, every October 4 weeks ago:
UK same. Pumpkin patches everywhere in Oct . I like it.
- Comment on Joy & Curiosity 5 weeks ago:
I’m not sure where my head was when I commented this.
Just getting at the idea that they’re basically worshipping the thing.
We as people just really like worshipping stuff.
Maybe worship is the wrong word due to its religious connotations, but it’s effectively the same thing to hold these kind of celebrations for items that we revere.
Anyway, I’m not sure why the above was relevant:)
- Comment on Joy & Curiosity 5 weeks ago:
It’s called worship.
Not a bad thing, just shit when it’s used to control people.
Good on them for expressing their appreciationane love (worship) for something that is expanding our knowledge.
- Comment on Ex developer at Bethesda quit his job after 14 years and made this heavy metal horror game as a solo dev with no publisher 5 weeks ago:
Meaning the last 6 years of his career there were on starfield, which he wasn’t a manager of, if he quit 3 years ago.
This feels like a standard toxic gaming community thread where dismissing someone’s achievements is for some reason fair game.
Dude held a job at a huge publisher for 14 years, then quit and developed his own thing.
Good on him!

You’ve known each other for 3 years? Wow that’s cool! How long did you know you liked her?

Thank you for taking the time to write this out so eloquently.
- Comment on Anon signs up for a dating site 2 months ago:
What’s this thing recently about using ‘im too autistic too…’ or 'because of my autism '?
It feels like people are using this like we’ve used ‘retarded’ in the past.
Kinda sucks.

Or cool a bit batch of your own soup at the weekend. Then microwave it for lunch.
- Comment on Anon doesn't like reddit 2 months ago:
updoots encourages circlejerk
I mean, making a post about hating on Reddit, on Lemmy, is pretty circlejerky too at this point.
- Comment on Anon comes out to his religious parents 2 months ago:
Probably almost definitely overall a wholesome story.
I think the kids morally ambiguous situation was better than the situation their parents were putting them in so it’s a net win.
- Comment on There are lots of different ways to make cum and they all taste pretty bad 2 months ago:
I was fully expecting one of the steps to just be the guy jizzing in to the bowl Xd
- Comment on My Empire of Podsols 2 months ago:
Yeah this is what irked me.
- Comment on Anon makes up a word 4 months ago:
I’m sure it must be more difficult for you :( just to try and keep you going though, it’s definitely a numbers game and those of us who don’t have any concerns sometimes misread too.
Tbh, the recovery is probably more important than the execution in this scenario.
- Comment on Anon makes up a word 4 months ago:
Youur last point is pretty much tje most likely way to excel in life too, unfortunately.
You’re lucky if you do actually like the person you have to suck up to.
- Comment on Get in the Hilux 4 months ago:
I think for this to work you need an agreement between wealthy countries to all apply this kind of tax. This would be an attempt to stop all the accounts from just living offshore.
Not sure if the EU can apply this as a bloc style rule. I doubt the US powers that be would want to, and then other large powers I’d argue have even more questionable ruling classes anyway, but I’m open to bring wrong on that last statement.
- Comment on Anon meets his gf's parents 4 months ago:
I think his stepdaughter, with her boyfriend, dropped off his son for the son’s weekend visit with him (him being the commenter, the father).
It reads like his son was visiting his stepdaughter’s boyfriend. Maybe it is that, but it’d be odd.

I’m not sure what point you’re making.

They’re checking the ‘can reproduce’ box for whether their comment alive or not.

If the atoms continue drifting, then that in itself is still change.

Maybe he’s outside looking in, and windows users are locked in the cage :|
- Comment on Brexit has completely failed for UK, say clear majority of Britons – poll 10 months ago:
What’s the alternative? With fptp it’s labour or Tories and it takes a major shift to make one of the other parties a threat.
Labour and Tories both benefit from fptp so there’s no way theyre ever going to change it.

Any particular reason why you find this one ‘shitty’? I don’t know either way whether it’s a good article or not.
- Comment on Truly inspirational 10 months ago:
Haha I don’t think it’s about fear. It’s probably about having hundreds of years of using those metrics, and it being very baked in to the language used between people to communicate.
Nobody wants to have to translate between kg and stone all the time. It’s tedious. If you live in a country where all your interactions are going to be in one measurement then you’re probably just going to go along with everyone else.
Even down to ‘goin down the pub for a pint’ being a commonly used phrase which doesn’t have the same ring when it’s '‘goin down the pub for a half litre’.
- Comment on My friend on social refuses to see how this is a pyramid scheme 1 year ago:
As someone else said, it may be to see who’s likely to fall for more sinister scams, or a phishing scam to get people’s addresses etc

The aim of ‘chatting up’ seems different in a library :D
