Yep. I was poor and weird but I was also 6 foot tall and pretty big. Its amazing what one really good punch to the face of someone does to your rep for the rest of high school.

I mean… think it dont do it bruh. Also absolutely correct.
You know when the parents went for that meeting they also looked to be like "Well, is the boy at least justified in thinking “dat ass” was worth it.

Whole psyllium husks are fun.
I swear last time I put a bunch in my shaker I shit things I never ate.
- Comment on Thing makes noise wallet goes empty 2 weeks ago:
As a Petrolhead, new noises mean “I hope thats a part I want an excuse to need to spend money on.”
Really, yes it needs brake pads and rotors, but thats like $300. For $300 I got a set of calipers, near new rotors and barely used pads off a facebook group member breaking a higher spec model, then spent another $200 on braided brake lines because its basically no more work if I’m doing the calipers anyway.

Ive always put it in the very crude fashion of “They are both going to fuck us, but one of them spits on it and goes in gentle the other one wants us to struggle.”
- Comment on What's an absolutely medium quality game? Not great, incredible or terrible or any single ended extreme. Dead medium quality 2 weeks ago:
Mechwarrior online.
Free, online “shooter”, good community, runs on linux, gameplay is dated and doesnt get tons of dev support anymore but its still how I kill an evening once or twice a week.

Backfired big time too.
Most of the big older guys realised that walking around all day is actually a pretty low pressure and laid back gig even if you are on your feet all day and dont want to go back on the machines once they are getting like 20,000 steps a day and lose the weight.
- Comment on Why do fancy cars look fancy and cheap cars don't? Can't you just slap a Lamborghini-style chassis onto a lawnmower engine if you want? 3 weeks ago:
Some companies spend a lot of money on market research and trying to get ahead of trends (Mercedes Benz, Honda, Toyota) some companies disregard common sense and do what they want (Alfa, The French in general) and cheaper brands dont waste the money on price point cars. Its not an Iron clad rule but people buy a german to project wealth, you buy other euros to project style, you buy Honda and Toyota for reliability. You buy a Nissan Altima because they will finance you, you buy a Chinese car because you arent keeping it past warranty expiry anyway.
As to what sets them apart. Little things like painted brake calipers, the quality of the badging, the texture on the plastic interior, little trim pieces that stop you seeing any of the interior workings, the windscreen wipers looking “chunky”. Wheels and stance also play a large part of the image. Wide wheels simply look more expensive, as do lower profile tyres.
Then things get a little more tactile, the dull thump when you shut the door over the higher pitched clank, the thickness of the interior plastics and number of fasteners making the interior feel sturdier even though you cant see the difference, the sensation of the indicators being put on, the UI on the touchscreen…
Prestige brands also dont do trim level names/badges very often. They like letters and numbers like 330i M-Sport or c65 AMG. Lexus followed suit with the LS400. They WANT you to say “Yeah, I got the Touring package” or “I bought the AMG sports pack” and they know their owners want to do it too.

Now I dont work in the law enforcement industry but I do work in an industry that has supposed fitness requirements although they arent enforced.
For us, the union told them “If they have to maintain a weight of X to remain employed. You have to pay them to hit the gym on company time or pay their gym fees and an allowance.” So the company filed that away under “fuck that”. Now if you get too fat for the equipment they just move you to a different duty, often one with a shitload of walking around.
- Comment on After hours 5 weeks ago:
Honestly its not the worst way on earth to do calorie control. My breakfast and lunch are super calorie controlled and I actually get to enjoy my evenings and I dont get fat.
Took me 2 years of dieting, tracking and effort for me to get a handle on what works for me.

I really want to meet super tallented actors like Geoffrey Rush and tell them they were amazing in the most artistically devoid thing they have done.

Check out this guy. Now full transparency I’ve never checked his stuff out, but people who know far more than I do say he is legit and I know a few people who have used his videos to work through injuries and improve their range of motion and it worked.
Theres also some “Performance enhancing compounds” that can supposedly improve longevity and recovery that can help with joint issues but thats a whole rabbit hole and the research just isnt definitive, I’ve dabbled and I feel like they worked and know stuff but I’m not trying to advertise for that sort of thing.

I suppose when you’re rich enough to not have to think about “How will I cover the rent if I dump his ass?” Probably makes the number higher than for regular folks.

This has always been my counterpoint for the Nintendo haters when they complain about price. (Although they are a shit company in several other ways) Because when my daughter wants a new switch game if its a top tier Nintendo title its going to be a finished game with zero bugs and zero concern about problematic content for me.

Ive noticed it a lot more on here.
Like there was a thread about real world uses for “A.I” and I said that its perfect for traffic management which triggered someone who went on a huge rant about carcentric cities and how we need to have more public transport and cars arent the answer. Like ok, I dont disagree but thats not really related to the question at all.

Lemmy has a REALLY bad problem with people who dont actually read comments and process them. They skim read the post, see a few keywords and then argue the point that they want to argue regardless of what the original comment was.
