  That’s an interesting culture you have. I can’t say I share it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I was today years old when I found out Glomming on some Glizzys means eating some hot dogs.⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I know this, but I want to understand the etymology. Why glizzy? What’s gliz? The word itself makes me think of glazed.

  Was this one of those words that was made up for a rap song because the author needed a rhyme so they just forced it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bros being bros⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Both. It’s both.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bros being bros⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Incest

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨woag⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemmy is a weirdly wholesome place sometimes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even his doctors are full of it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe it was just cold in the office. Happens to the best of us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The poop psa absolutely no one asked for⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Light colored but surprisingly high volume 😬

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How long before I can sleep on my memory foam mattress?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You have to sleep on it NOW or it will keep expanding and consume your town

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WTF is the teacher doing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Because you don’t touch other humans like that. It’s not ok.

  Contrary to popular belief, children are people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is there steam coming out of the streets in New York⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I love how plausible this is

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ooo.ooo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh… I guess squinting old guy is a look

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which actor did not have a single bad film?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I heard from Bauhaus that he’s dead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are most people here left-wing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s full of new people,

  Don’t be ridiculous. I’m not a new people. I’ve been a people for almost my whole life. I bet most of us have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  By providing subsidies, you make it cheaper to build things in the US, so people do. It’s the reason we have so much farming, even though it’d be cheaper to outsource that.

  By shutting down international trade, we will build things in the US where it’s affordable, and where it’s not we just do without.

  Point is, you won’t get an iPhone anymore. You likely won’t get a new car. The value of the dollar goes down and we get less. Maybe you’re ok with that, but I personally like my quality of life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don’t support tariffs to bring back manufacturing jobs

  I also don’t support prohibition to improve crop output.

  Tariffs don’t create manufacturing jobs. Subsidies do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you want microplastics? Because that’s how we get microplastics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe it's just a human thing.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Then you just hate theists

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe it's just a human thing.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t seen that. Why would they need to be atheist to hate Muslims? You can do that from anywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At least Quark had some integrity.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a deep reference. Very nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At least Quark had some integrity.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe from an equity perspective, but not from a lawyer perspective. So you’d probably say “we need more women in law”.

  Because the topic is women. If the topic was lawyering, then sex won’t come up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Expecto Myscrotum

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At least Quark had some integrity.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re just called lawyers, unless they’re lawyering with their genitals and their sex is somehow relevant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  European

  As an American, it’s because there’s nothing out there. We have SO much land. A small town means you have to drive everywhere. It means the local grocery is 30 min away. It also means 300 people in the town, one library (maybe), but at least three churches. Very much not my vibe :-)

  Not everywhere, obviously, but it’s a thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨American and British English spelling and pronunciations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re different words. Grey is more of a dark white, while gray is more of a light black.

  But for real, to me grey is a name and a feeling, and gray is a color. And I have no idea why.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THE CLASS WAR IS BACK, BABY!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Leftist purity culture is the best tool the fascists have

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks reddit, very helpful.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s an intense story. I think it’d make a great series of three movies, then a mediocre series of three prequels, then get milked to hell until it’s barely recognizable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨90s band alignment chart⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why they left Manson off the list. That band was just horngry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Too prudish to use a urinal. Kinky enough to BE a urinal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I imagine, and I’m no English expert, that there’s a line somewhere between coddling and mindless rant.
