This had me thinking of why the english language uses cocoa. Obviously it is cacao, most other languages use the real name as well. One of those “too hard to pronounce” situations?

Eh, i kinda miss it. Of course its carefree living, but it also is a symptom of our individual detachment from society at large. We don’t relate to the people around us, we handpick those connections digitally for the most part, where shit is just as shallow as it supposedly was in reality before that.
Sure, you dont care what you look like in the street. But if you have mainstream social media as well i would bet you have made an effort for your profiles that other people can see. Good looking pics, possibly edited too, relatable posts and personal information.
We just shifted most of our presentation online.

My personal theory is that it is a symptom of societal decay. People would dress nicely and look good when going out, so others would see and be impressed or attracted.
Now i have literally not worn anything else but different sweatpants for the last year or so, because i could not care less what other random passerbys perceive me as, since i am decidedly not interested in them either.
Nobody cares about real life impressions any more because the people that matter to them are in their phone. Friends and family are not necessarily in the same location as you, and romantic options are for the most part also in your phone now. Why brother looking good when potential partners are expected to judge you by your social media presence anyway and i’m just here for groceries.

I mean, yeah of course, but preparing camping supplies and going for groceries seems not quite the same thing.
As a European, being longer than maybe a weekend cut off from external help (or the general concept of a natural disaster as a possible occurence) is not really a thing. Worst that happens is some flooding near rivers and the coast on rare occasions.
Dubious water quality is also not a problem people have to deal with on a frequent basis, at least in germany. You can give your landlord major shit if you don’t have access to proper, clean water. (If you own your place it is your problem of course)

We use bottles… But yes, generally you can just drink your tap water.

Vertical feels more right to me, because elevator go up and numbers too

I would be rather surprised to find an oven going to 400*C though, thats quite hot lol
I’d say ovens here in EU usually go to 200-250 degrees.

Oh great, more seven! But also, oh great, more super high stakes plot. World ending yet entirely unheard of threat, i’m sure.

I used to like him a lot up until he started uncle tomming for the current american administration. Just full sellout, when he could easily live off the royalties of his music for the rest of his life without debasing himself.

Ironically it is generally the anglosphere who sucks at their grammar. Since native speakers mostly learn it by speaking and listening they have a harder time with those they’re, there, their situations, while everyone else learns it as a second language, primarily through reading and writing. The latter is obviously better suited for good grammar.

… Autistic people eat only fried garbage? That doesn’t seem exclusively neurodivergent to be honest. I know some have that thing about food textures, but…

Looks kinda neat, but also has big LOOK AT ME vibes. Not to mention the issues the other commenter mentioned regarding wear and hygiene.
I could see it being useful for larger devices a user has to interact with constantly to free up and reduce strain on the hand though.

Yes it’s a dog. But the dog can either be considered a legal person or not, and depending on that the dog needs a permit or a human to safekeep the weapon.

“Rogue AI” as if it’s some sentient evil thing when its just a llm with too many permissions… This timeline is so dystopian, but simultaneously incredibly lame i hate it.

Personally i like him as well but he sometimes ventures into boomer humor which doesn’t really vibe with me. Other than that, apparently a fun dude.
I definitely agree that horny heterosexual men have a hard time on lemmy though. Actually i recently wrote a similar conclusion myself on some related post, feels nice to know it’s not just my impression.

Enjoy getting herded at gunpoint into a minefield. There are no real rules in a total/world war. If you fuck up on purpose or refuse to do your duty you will likely get severely punished by your own side.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Curious that this is your perception, while i myself have noticed a sort of inverse trend in that regard.
Especially around these parts it is heavily frowned upon making any kind of horny or sexual comment as a dude about a woman. A surefire way to get schooled on what a misogynist objectifying dick you are (excluding literal porn community comment section of course).
Other horny comments are much less controversial, women on men, men on men, women on women. Things you might find in the average (gay) porn comment section get upvoted on lemmy on a regular basis, im sure it’s totally ironic.
So my personal “analysis” of recent ish lemmy online discourse would be that heterosexual men on lemmy avoid being publicly horny because of the expected blowback. That or they make an alt account.

Oh you definitely can, and i do enjoy the unhinged nature of your contributions, but it is pretty much a guarantee that some lonely and/or horny dude will feel encouraged.

- Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia? 4 months ago:
Perhaps you should start watching trek instead of commenting on it from a distance, you know, so you know what you are taking about.
The federation (in the TNG era which i would count as the most beloved and accepted by fans) is a post scarcity society, the populations indeed do have full and free access to replication technology, which also solves the waste problem you suggest since replicated goods can also be reclaimed by the devices. Make whatever you need, use it, vanish the leftovers when youre done.
So indeed people are beyond our concepts of material need and property. Individuals may also indulge in commerce if they are of the mercantile inclination, nobody cares, but any citizen can acquire any material resource required or desired in their lives regardless, and for free.
- Comment on How does capitalism differ from crony capitalism? 5 months ago:
Personally i hate that narrative because the ONLY people who would listen to such advice are the very people you need more of, not less. Educated, morally steadfast in the best sense and willing to make a sacrifice on behalf of everyone.
The people voting against their own interests, perpetuating ignorance and hate, love having kids.
