I didn’t even see your username, you’re all in. Love it.

You mean tall, right?
- Comment on kya 3 days ago:
Yeah, driving slow is my solution for just a out anything that someone is doing stupidly on the road. Am I doing it to be petty? Sure. But is it also making the situation safer? Absolutely. So if I can justify my pettiness, you bet I’m going to do it.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 1 week ago:
Yes, streaming, for me, is the gateway to new. I do use Spotify and I’ll say what I’ve said a bajillion times: It has shown me numerous new artists, a good many of which I have given money. It seems like a good deal.
- Comment on OK what is your Roman name? 1 week ago:
Minius Cucumberius.
- Comment on Forza Horizon 6 - Official Teaser Trailer | Tokyo Game Show 2025 1 week ago:
I’ll probably catch a little flak, but it’s sad to see the Forza name live on only through Horizons now. Motorsport was a great game.
- Comment on International travel 2 weeks ago:
The fun part about when someone tells me they’re from a place I’ve never heard of is that I get to ask them about that place now. I enjoy it. I don’t expect everyone to know it, but maybe I do expect them to be interested in conversation.
- Comment on International travel 2 weeks ago:
New York City generally gets folks understanding where I’m from, but I have the benefit of living an hour outside of arguably one of the most recognizable cities in the world.
I get what you’re saying, and I kind of use it as a tool to continue conversation. Any time I meet folks from somewhere else, I tend to ask them about it. I’ve had some long conversations about places I never knew much about with Uber drivers or waiters, and I suppose I project that onto people too, that perhaps they’re interested in the minutiae of life in northeast American suburbia. It definitely pales in comparison to people from war-torn African countries, but it is what it is.

I dunno, maybe it’s just me, but anytime abroad I tell people I’m from Jersey. First and foremost I identify as. New Jerseyan. “American” and “Canadian” are so incredibly broad. Are you from Vancouver? Toronto? Are you a Newfie or from Edmonton? Shit, are you Quebecois? The same applies in the US, I don’t for a second begin to think of any of the regions as being remotely similar. Northeast, Atlantic, Midwest, West Coast, all very different places with very different people. I didn’t include the South because they’re the worst.
So yeah, I’ve kinda always just led with that. Maybe us people from Jersey are just like that though, I dunno. I won’t lie, sometimes it leads me to saying things like “I’m an hour outside of New York.” I leave off “city” because New York State may as well not even exist, it’s essentially a barren wasteland of former mining towns that are in a depressed death spiral of long, gray winters and trips to the finger lakes.
- Comment on Hmm this "unisex" bathroom seems biased... 3 weeks ago:
I’ve thought of this so many times. I’m fact, I’ve thought about a spring-loaded seat hinge that raises the seat unless there’s a person upon it. If the seat is always up, it is much less likely to be urinated upon. It takes the work completely out of the hands of the user.
- Comment on Who plays like that x_x 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s why I played inverted for the longest time. Took a break from gaming for a bit and have since switched to standard.
- Comment on Golf Cartification of My City 4 weeks ago:
Agree, but I also feel this way about ebikes and scooters.
- Comment on Golf Cartification of My City 4 weeks ago:
Start sabotaging them. Be the change you want to see.
Personally, if it’s an unmodified electric cart, it’s whatever to me. When you start taking limiters off, that’s a different story. They otherwise go fairly slowly.
I certainly don’t condone driving around drinking in them, but I’ve certainly done that very thing playing golf, so I guess I’m a smidge hypocrite.
But yeah, sabotage them. Imagine going out in your cart, parking it outside a bar, and coming back to it no longer functioning. That’s just, IMO.
- Comment on Reddit lost it 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, OP’s out here trawling Reddit for stupid bullshit they can post here.
To suggest Reddit is losing it from some niche subreddit nonsense is such typical Lemmy broad brush strokes. And it’s posted in Shitpost because hey, it’s just a Shitpost! Despite the fact it’s clearly more than that to OP.
Shitposts are supposed to be stupid, they’re supposed to mean absolutely nothing, but instead it’s a circlejerk of reddit bad, America bad.
But hey, I’m not a content poster, so I guess I ought to do more contenting before I can complain about the lack thereof.
- Comment on It's efficient. 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, ranitidine and famotidine were both very good to me back when I got heartburn often, and I’ll still hit them up once in a while. There’s even ones that haveimt coating, so any indigestion later at least has an air of freshness.
- Comment on Water Boil Advisory 5 weeks ago:
This sounds like an emergency situation, a broken main, versus someone digging. These get discovered when Joe schmo turns his water on and it’s brown, no pressure, or someone driving down the street encounters a flood on a sunny day. They contact the water company, and the water company then identifies the problem. Time is continuing to pass as this all occurs.
Water utility calls every account holder affected by the outage. They post online. They notify the town and the town posts on their website. Dunno what this “system no one knows about” is, but around me there’s a service called Nixle that I use, and you’ll get text messages about things, including water main breaks and boil water advisories.
- Comment on Water Boil Advisory 5 weeks ago:
They had four methods in OP’s case. OP describes “a system no one knows about,” which sounds like a system OP doesn’t know about. They call you, unless you refused to put your phone number on your account, and then what? Are they supposed to go door to door? It’s an emergency.
The entitlement here is staggering. If you want to be informed, you gotta give them a way to inform you. If you hide away for whatever reason, you run the risk of missing announcements.
- Comment on Water Boil Advisory 5 weeks ago:
Four options isn’t enough? I get you didn’t get it, but do you want them to knock on your door?
I subscribe to a service called Nixle, and the water company will email and phone is anytime there is an issue. I’m not sure what else they’re supposed to be doing. If you’re hard to find you’re hard to find. Definitely sucks to find out there’s a boil water advisory after you’ve been chugging water all morning though.
- Comment on And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away 5 weeks ago:
Got a earn that shit. Also gives me something to say hey, get your shit together or no games.
- Comment on And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away 5 weeks ago:
When I was a kid, we’d get together with family and do our thing. Then we’d all eat a meal, and usually after the meal it was all right, everyone go do whatever you want, and the kids would usually go down the basement and play toys or video games, and adults sit around digesting, having some drinks, etc.
Fast forward to now, I’ll bring my kids tablets or whatever, and when the party is entering the food coma stage, I say do whatever you want, you’ve spent the last couple hours talking to people, or just existing around people who are 30-60 years older than you.
I feel like it always comes to this, but everything in moderation. I played a lot of Nintendo as a kid, and I grew up well adjusted (enough), and I don’t doubt my kids can do the same. For me, the whole tablet thing just stretches out the amount of time I get to hang. Kids get antsy. Shit, I get antsy and I’m an adult, but if letting them do whatever for 30-60m at the end of a party let’s me unwind with my family and friends, it’s fine.
- Comment on Video game addiction in teens likely stems from preexisting mental health issues 1 month ago:
The preexisting condition is having a brain.
- Comment on Let's put ice in the wine and chocolate in the hummus 1 month ago:
See, I would call all those macaroni, that’s the coverall for tube-shaped fork-sized pasta. Spaghetti are the long rounds. Linguine flats. And then all the big guys get their own names, manicotti, ravioli, and just stuffed shells, they probably got a band that ends in a vowel but it didn’t make its way down to me from Grandma.
- Comment on Not stealing 1 month ago:
Yeah, it’s funny. Sometimes my son, 4, he’ll talk to me, but his speech and communication are still in the very basics, and I’ll say, Buddy, I’m sorry, I don’t know what you’re saying, and he’ll get frustrated, which leads to anger, all because I don’t understand what he’s saying.
Turn the tables, I’m like, Dude, go to the bathroom, we’re getting in the car, you go to the bathroom before we drive, and he’ll say NO! And now I’m the one who’s frustrated and angry because he’s now the one who’s not understanding what I’m saying.
As always, communication is key, and breakdowns always cause problems. And so we’re all just along for the ride.
- Comment on Not stealing 1 month ago:
I love hearing other parents have asshole kids, because it reminds me that I’m not alone.

And also sitting down is hard now. But yeah, you have to imagine all the stabilization your muscles used to do are now taken care of by this robot tail. So atrophy away!
- Comment on What’s the plan? 1 month ago:
Yeah, my wife can drag out goodbyes, but when I’m on my own, or when I can just walk home, I just get up, say “All right, I’m leaving, see you guys later,” and then I just leave. Been doing it for 20 years at this point. I’m not an introvert either, I enjoy parties, but I know when enough is enough, and I just leave. I will see these people again, some of them soon, no need for long good-byes.

I appreciate you not putting a stopper in that wine. Too many people are unfamiliar with the serving size of cab being one bottle.
