- Comment on It's 54 degrees Fahrenheit (12 Celsius), raining moderately hard, the rain is cold, and there's a guy blowing around wet leaves with a leaf blower. What the hell is the obsession with leaf blowers? 5 days ago:
That actually depends entirely on where you’re at. That would be positively tropical to someone in Minnesota, but to someone in Arizona I almost can guarantee you that would be freezing.

Moss is cool too!
- Comment on how badly could a pelican fuck me up in a fight? 6 days ago:
Good idea, though sadly I cannot afford that at the moment.
- Comment on how badly could a pelican fuck me up in a fight? 1 week ago:
Nah, I think this way more.
`I’m not planning on fighting a pelican" comes off as “well, I’m not planning on it, but it could happen”,
while
I’m not planning on fighting a pelican
comes off as “Statement: I do not have plans to fight a pelican.”I feel the latter would confuse people more. Lol.
- Comment on how badly could a pelican fuck me up in a fight? 1 week ago:
DISCLAIMER - I am not planning on fighting a pelican.
I need this on a T-shirt.
Seriously, this is the best thing I have seen on the Internet in a long time. It’s like I’m in 2013 all over again. Lol.
- Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops? 1 week ago:
As others have already stated, it’s expensive to start, expensive to maintain, and very high-risk.
Most startups fail within the first two years, and an organization that doesn’t focus first and foremost on profit is I imagine even more likely to fail within those first couple of years.
- Comment on Why does it seem most people, mainly conservatives, against Trans people? Unless I am wrong I never heard of one shooting up a school church or whatever. The ones I have met have been pretty cool. 4 weeks ago:
I would agree with this.
(Also, for the record, your username is the highlight of my day. Tell me, which ones are lies and which ones are true?)

To be fair, every platform is an echo chamber. The only differences are to what degree.
- Comment on is "oh boy" considered a gendered term? 5 weeks ago:
I personally don’t like it as it makes me uncomfortable because I’m not a guy, and it makes me feel a bit excluded.
That being said, I’m fully aware it’s rarely used in a gendered way so I’m not offended by it or anything. It’s just how I feel. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Comment on why do most celebrities/influencers & some normal people have those fake-looking teeth? 1 month ago:
…okay then.
Not gonna lie: I would’ve never gotten that from “nude tooth”. But I guess I’ll just chock this up to another instances in the long line of things in life I didn’t know. :)

“nude tooth”
What?

Only a tenth, huh? Well, you do you.

I thought you “Elmo gets EVs mandated” and I was so confused for a second. x_x
- Comment on Why are people politicizing Peanut the Squirrel 1 month ago:
Just to be clear here, nothing has ever been pure or sacred. We’re only told that as children.
- Comment on Why doesn't Lemmy have a system like Reddit's Karma? 1 month ago:
…you big stinky poo poo face!
Well then damn it all; what more evidence do you need?!
The poo-pooing alone is a court-martial offence!
- Comment on How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"? 1 month ago:
Twitter is the only thing I will ever be okay with deadnaming.
- Comment on Why do residential skyscrapers always seem to include balconies that never get used? 2 months ago:
though, my understanding is that the opposition to clotheslines is a mostly US thing. Especially in places where the weather is warm year-round.
That’s fair. I’m not personally knowledgeable about said rules; I just thought I’d point out those couple things.
(specifically its the HOA’s because HOA’s are the devil.)
Agreed. I would say they need to go fuck themselves with a cactus, but really now. What did the cactus ever do to deserve that?
- Comment on Why do residential skyscrapers always seem to include balconies that never get used? 2 months ago:
19 states have some form of “right to dry” legislation, most of which would protect drying on patio space.
Two points which I would like to interject here:
-
OP (of either the post or comment above) may not be in the United States, and
-
Even if they are, there are 50 states and 1 capital district. That’s only roughly a third of the United States. Odds are they are not in those states.

Were you, uh…gonna respond? I assumed you were asking for information in good faith.

Well for one, that a “brony” is just someone who enjoys the show “My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic”. Nothing more, nothing less. We are not, essentially, perverted. I mean, sure, some people are, but how’s that any different than any other human subgroup?
On top of that, if you’ve never seen the show, even just 3 episodes, I would highly recommend it. Because even if you don’t like it, it would give you some idea of that which you’re criticizing. You’ll see it’s not creepy or anything. It’s just a kids cartoon that happens to be very good and appeals to adults as well as kids.
Don’t take at face value the concept of a brony based purely on stereotypes you see about them in the media or Internet. Yes, there are perverted weirdos, but the vast majority of us are just people who really enjoy the show and what it stands for.
Those are just a few things, to be sure.
- Comment on Why do people see Adopting a Husky Personality and Culture through life inherently bad 2 months ago:
Haha, whatever bro. Maybe understand a thing before you criticize it. Hopefully you’ll learn that someday.
- Comment on Why do people see Adopting a Husky Personality and Culture through life inherently bad 2 months ago:
Speaking as a brony, yes, we are terrifyingly bizarre.
Ain’t it great? xP

It doesn’t have one. I was making a joke.
Hi = High Fanta = Fantasy Po = Post(-apocalypse) Dys = Dystopian Fut = Future
Hifantapodysfut = High-Fantasy-Post-Apocalypse-Dystopian-Future.
It’s in the title.

I really like the term “Science Fantasy”. It acknowledges the parallels with Science Fiction but respects how they differ as well.

I figured they meant that as well. I’m just saying their rules may not be as hard and fast as they seem to be presenting them.

Just concepts of a plan.

Agreed. Getting something second-hand is almost always better.

While I completely appreciate your perspective, I do have to ask: what with how the world is today, wouldn’t pretty much everything violate at least two or three of those rules?
