Lemmy sucks it just sucks different, its the photo negative of truth social and anyone who thinks that this place isnt just a different echo chamber is deluded.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 1 week ago:
Because (historically speaking) its arguably the safest and highest yield form of investment that the working class can make. That being said obviously theres a tipping point in regards to the amount of income you’re generating at which it becomes predatory.
Funding a nice retirement? Ok. Making it so only one parent has to work? Fine. Jacking up the rent to cover the insurance on the new Lambo? Fuck you.

IKR. People these days dont realise that confidently incorrect people pre-exist facebook.
If you blindly do what ChatGPT says you deserve what happens to you.

Yeah bigger oof when you realise that nothing damn near anyone who tells anyone anything can be trusted.
Do you know how many times I’ve been handed the wrong part by “professionals” whose full time job is “parts interpreter” and their job description is to look up and order parts for customers? Or had a mechanic be “certain” about the cause of the same problem for the 3rd fucking time. The fact is that when I want to know which is the correct ecu pin for the crank angle sensor on an 83 Cordia Turbo thats some esoteric as fuck knowledge thats probably buried on a forum somewhere. If ChatGPT thinks it knows, I dont just wire shit up and send it. I get out the multimeter and I check that wire first.
Dont get me wrong, if googles search wasnt rubbish these days A.I wouldnt be as useful as it is. I had to find out who made the rear diff for a car to see if we could pull the gears out from a different make/model to get better ratios for the strip. An hour of googling just turned up every result for people selling diffs, selling diff seals, selling diffs for other cars, workshops that specialise in diffs, diff seals for other cars… Chat GPT just fucking knew it was an Aisin unit, what its part number was and then I asked "What cars is “part number” used in and it spat out a list. Its excellent because google is shit. If google was still great, it would merely be a novelty.
- Comment on The internet kind of sucks right now 3 weeks ago:
As someone who is enthusiastic about old cars the amount of knowledge that disappeared when forums got killed by fb is immeasurable. At least A.I might preserve some knowledge.
When people die they take their knowledge with them if nobody writes it down and maintains it.

I think Kiwi would go to “Clinker” or “Clunker” before that. Thats Australian.

- Comment on So glad I suck dick 5 weeks ago:
I think we’re pretty much on the same page. The stories were the same “Thats my ex” or “Stop flirting with my girl/boy” or “you think you’re better than me” stuff but the shit talking before things got physical was so much better.
Meatheads get to the punching part too fast for it to be funny. You have enough time to go “Aw fuck…” and it was on. I once saw someone go 5 solid minutes on another persons shoes and it was amazing.
- Comment on So glad I suck dick 5 weeks ago:
Nah you arent that unique you know. Its the same shit as straught clubs just with less violence and WAY more over the top acting and better writing. Straight guys throw chairs and punches, flamboyant gay dudes throw drinks and slap faces, Its just way more entertaining to be around.
The lesbians on the other hand… that shit was vicious but infrequent. Like dudes brawling but with hair pulling and nails as well.

I worked the door of a very popular gay venue for a year. The security staff called the drama “Gays of our lives” and it was fucking amazing.

On a cut like this you dont want to actually see your food.
- Comment on Thinheritance 1 month ago:
In all honesty, I’m glad that I dont have any of that shit on the left.
Dealing with an estate is enough work without adding guilt into the equation, my will for my daughter literally says “If I did my job right, this is all just stuff. Dont be precious about it because its mine, unless its specifically mentioned I really dont give a shit about it. Do what you need or want to do.”

Your life, your body, your choice and all.
But if you dont have a legit medical reason that having children would be ill advised I wouldnt do it. I never wanted kids, I hated kids. But people change, had one at 35 and another on the way at 40…
21yo me absolutely should not have had kids, I would have been a fucking terrible parent and I’m glad i didnt.
- Comment on get sum 1 month ago:
If you’re over 40 how many times did you get laid because “One thing led to another”? Like you ever chill and vibe so hard with someone you feel the need to fuck about it?
In the tail end of my singleness I found that I was able to have more and better conversations with women online because we could share things and experiences without being in the same room… But we werent in the same room, to shoot your shot you had to arrange something, give them a chance to overthink it, give yourself a chance to overthink it, sort out the scheduling issues, work out transport and then hopefully when you get into the same room still have the same magic going on.
When we were bored we hung out to not be bored, sometimes that led to fucking.
- Comment on linus tech tip 1 month ago:
I kind of feel for Linus. He is clearly NOT the guy to be in charge of a media company that recieved a 100 million dollar buyout offer and in charge of 50+ people. I genuinely believe he has good intentions and isnt trying to do anything evil or anti consumer.
Doesnt mean his fuckups dont have real world impacts for others though.

I like the arcade physics, but at least keep it challenging and consistent.
- Comment on EA reportedly shelves Need For Speed completely to focus on other projects 2 months ago:
I hate to advocate for live service but…
An open world MMO racing game with a map that has roadworks that change the layout, on a weekly basis. Cops that do crackdowns on certain makes of cars, Carjackers trying to steal your ride, an ever evolving racing scene, weather events… give me a career mode where pushing my luck and teasing the cops too much costs me real progress. New songs in the radio every month, new events, new storylines and new arcs.
E.A could absolutely put it together and it could be great. But they would microtransaction the hell out of it, P2W, monetise the arse out of it and make it terrible. Because EA

- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 2 months ago:
Serious answer?
I have an app on my phone that allows me to control my pellet grill as long as it and my phone have an internet connection.
Doing a 12 hr smoke, I can leave the house and monitor it while I go shopping, change the temps if its not acting right. I can set temperature alerts and then go around the house and my phone goes off when the meat hits a certain internal temp. Its really really handy.

Bacon grease chocolate chip cookies…
I shit you not.
- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 2 months ago:
I have had this happen once. Cold jar, didnt let the grease cool enough… was my bad. Same as if you’re going to put it into a metal can while its still really hot, make sure the can isnt sitting on something that will melt.
I think the best advice is “Dont pour the grease while its still hot enough to burn you”

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.

- Comment on Thing makes noise wallet goes empty 2 months 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.”
