  My partner and I go to the basement and see who can do the best job of it. We have an underground wrap battle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the general reception of this news shows that any successful prosecution would be seen as such an injustice, and likely to spark further acts of rebellion. I almost think it’s in the ruling class’s favor to let this one go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tipping culture is out of control, even the cops expect tips now!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think any cop who disagrees with this should get transvestigated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tipping culture is out of control, even the cops expect tips now!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would take SO MANY for the team

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Modern Cinderella⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We clench among you…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Empire of Podsols⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly this. It also lacks the gravity of an entire concept album preceding it and two minutes of static death sounds at the end. It’s a sanitized cover of a song that shouldn’t be sanitized.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ah sweet!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would call it auto-cannibalism. I think it is cannibalism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder what they smell like.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you add a section to eviscerate those erroneous commas, I will sign that petition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*doing my best google impression* Did you mean: turn in up?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Coldplay is the John Krasinski of music.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok. Now they've done it.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dolly Parton is the kind of saint the Catholic Church will never canonize.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meet my new puppy: Ass!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sprout

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't have long left⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the afterlife.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stay on the designated path⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We call him Blucifer. He has freaky glowing red eyes and asshole veins.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yep⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had that scene with the prostitutes from Fargo in my mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do companies get out of rewards programs⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It also encourages you to shop at, say, Kroger rather than Safeway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨shrimp is bugs⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never had rhubarb. I’ve heard it’s sweet (people make pies out of it), but it looks like celery, which is one of my most hated foods. What does it actually taste like? Is it palatable raw?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I learned so much⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That was roughly my experience with East of Eden.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What animal could you take in a fight?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lots of coyotes and foxes around here. I think I could take them on with my bare hands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Sorry for the confusion. Taylor uses they/them pronouns.”

  Confusion lifted, problem solved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And also because when people try to use neopronouns they take as much flak for that if not more. Imagine this same argument: “I’m not used to these newfangled pronouns. Why can’t they just use normal ones?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Paramount Didn’t Market ‘Mean Girls’ as a Musical: ‘People Tend to Treat’ Them ‘Differently’⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The original movie was an adaptation of a book, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Blu-Rays the new vinyl? Physical Media will be different – but better – in 2024⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought vinyl was the new vinyl.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Weekly thread] What have you been watching lately?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Watched Violent Night the other day. It was really dumb and a ton of fun. I liked that it leans into the “magic of Christmas” angle and kind of "yes and"s it with a bunch of gore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If cannabis gets rescheduled to III, how can it ever get the state - federal differences resolved when it comes to the recreational market?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The research at the time said not to ban it because it is reasonably safe for consumption and banning it would cause social unrest and distrust of the government. Check out “A Signal of Misunderstanding: The First Report of the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse”, a report from a commission created by Richard Nixon with the passage of the 1969 Narcotics Act.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We have had guns for 200 years but mass shootings only became common in the last 30. So what changed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot has been said already, but it’s worth mentioning that modern guns are much more capable of killing than guns 200 years ago. Back then, guns were very inaccurate and had to be reloaded one shot at a time and packed by hand. Now we have automatic weapons with large magazines that can be swapped out in seconds. They have less recoil and greater accuracy. Regardless of cultural and political issues, guns are just more capable of killing than they used to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  When you drink the coffee, you can really taste the iron deficiency.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do jazz musicians rarely release music videos?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ve gotten a lot of good responses here, so I thought I’d just drop an example of a jazz music video. youtu.be/swcSU71gixw

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do so many Lemmy instances use weird TLDs?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That was an upgrade, imo
