• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m just hoping we can sort things out before it gets as bad as Nazi Germany was. Maybe I’m being overly optimistic, but having a defeatist attitude certainly won’t help our chances.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly we were screwed long before now, but yes. Its going to be a slow decline into fascism until we collectively wise up. I do think there’s a real possibility of that happening, but its going to take a lot of work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The one drawback to walking at night⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gross to me that multiple comments here are ignoring this reality. Crimes committed by men against women in situations like that are so common that women aren’t protecting themselves unless they consider every unfamiliar man a potential threat.

  Obviously women can also commit crimes against men, but its so much less common that I don’t have to take precautions to protect myself against them.

  As a man it kind of sucks when you are assumed to be dangerous even when you aren’t, but you need to get over it. Its not worth it for women to compromise their safety, and assume you to not be a threat just to make you feel better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The one drawback to walking at night⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean women are also capable of committing crimes? I’m gonna need some more sources for an outlandish take like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kids these days⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen boomers complain about a lot of things, but young people’s propensity for addiction is not one of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Guys this is a Buddhist symbol. I’m simply supporting America’s religious diversity, you bigots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That is the correct answer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Banjo slander should not be tolerated

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's reaction⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am indifferent. That guy wasn’t the problem, its the system that allows him to exist. This sends a message but all I see it doing is convincing wealthy capitalists to invest more in their protection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon pretends to be sick⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Every race/ethnicity/nationality thinks they have the worst parents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has an idea to get laid⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A brief lawsuit that will only exist if you are wealthy or can find contingency representation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This world is cruel…⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really technically. One is a physical attribute, and the other is a measure of wealth. Those aren’t even remotely close to being hobbies. You just brought them up because you think women are shallow, which is probably the real reason they don’t like you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because people receiving the death penalty theoretically did something wrong, and fetuses did not. I’m neither against abortion nor pro death penalty, and I don’t really see a contradiction there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guess what this product is without looking up what it is!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use pomade and it surprised me how often its branded like that. I have seen at least three brands that unironically use flaming skeletons. Also I have to say dapper dan is not great (at least the modern kind).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Units of measurement⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I don’t know what that is but my educated guess is 3.5

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People warn about culture shock, but nothing prepared ne for this solid toilet paper roll in Vietnam⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My public school in Louisiana had very similar toilet paper. I’m not sure if its actually the same, but it certainly looks like it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coming up with new names is hard⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a small town in Missouri I visited named Versailles and its pronounced ver-sails.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What has he done to deserve this?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So you do know what I’ve been talking about, you just purposely ignored it because you think its invalid? You could not have possibly done a better job at demonstrating to me that you are arguing in bad faith.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What has he done to deserve this?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t care that you think we should switch to metric, you said that Americans aren’t switching purely because they hate change, and they don’t care about the potential benefits just because they hate change so damn much. This is what I’ve been arguing against. I honestly have no idea how you could have read all of that and come to the conclusion I’m arguing against the metric system. Every word of it is about why Americans don’t think the switch is worth it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What has he done to deserve this?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  By continuing to act like this you are preventing any actual conversation from taking place. You might as well just say “you’re wrong, no I will not elaborate”. If you’re not interested in having a conversation then don’t respond, no one is forcing you to do this.

  If you would like to have a less sarcastic and rude discussion, I’ll be here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What has he done to deserve this?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  American are willing to change things, we just pick what to change, and we aren’t being inconvenienced by this nearly enough to change it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What has he done to deserve this?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We are used to 2 liter bottles, so we still use them. We run 5ks because its been a standard distance to run for a long time. Other countries also do similar things, old habits die hard.

  We use metric for science and medicine because the benefits of metric are much more pronounced for those use cases.

  Honestly, using both really isnt that hard. Its only really an inconvenience if you aren’t already used to it. We aren’t changing it because we’re getting along just fine the way things are, and there are much bigger problems to be solved.

  Makes shit up It doesn’t make sense mfw

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon makes popcorn⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Put it in the microwave and then take it out when it starts popping slowly. I’ve never met anyone else that does that for microwave popcorn and it works perfectly fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose your difficulty⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I get our healthcare system sucks but it isn’t worse than countless children dying of malaria.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose your difficulty⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It might belong there depending on what they mean by easy. Its pretty vague

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An actual screenshot from an ad I got while playing a mobile game⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It worked

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An actual screenshot from an ad I got while playing a mobile game⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m tired of seeing this every time I open Lemmy so I’m unfortunately gonna block you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets upvotes on reddit⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would avoid dehumanizing the people you disagree with. It prevents any real understanding of the situation beyond “Russians are evil”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon can’t have a factual argument⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That person probably knows nothing about any of those countries

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gives dating advice⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The original post was incorrect but you circled back around to being incorrect in the opposite way. Those two things don’t have a causal relationship.
