  Not a problem if you shower regularly enough and clean all the right places.

  But as long it sounded like he was addressing their fears, the most frightened people struggling to make ends meet latched onto whatever false hope he gave them.

  Bit of a differenceI should point out – trump addressed their fears by giving them someone to blame with at best a nominal economic statement. LGBTQ, libs, Biden, “elites”, brown people, foreign countries, etc. were all to blame.

  He never actually had a plan to offer anyone on how he was going to fix things other than by punishing the scapegoats. “I’ll lower prices” vs a boring, difficult to understand, years-long effort to maneuver industry and economics in a positive direction for the middle and lower classes.

  Meh. Cold doesn’t bother me too much. But it being dark at 4:30? Yeah, that can get fucked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MFW I wake up to find Lemmy feeds full of USA stuff⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The US is like turning on a morning soap opera. What absurd and dramatic contrivances have they come up with this time that could never happen in real life?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tankie⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Bullshit.

  If he was alive and well he would have been trotted out to the public as propaganda by the CCP that they weren’t cruel, and instructed to regurgitate some safe speech that toed the Party line.

  If he’s lucky he disappeared and kept his mouth shut to survive in silence.

  Sources conflict as to his identity, and whether or not he was executed, imprisoned , or lived free.

  Not that I expect tankies to think anything other than pro-CCP thought.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What common American habits do people find quietly annoying?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The same variety every country finds annoying about tourists from different cultures because foreigners. Loud, demanding, not obeying local social cues or courtesies, not speaking any of the language, walking too slow because tourist, crowding, messing up local living conditions thanks to vacation rentals, drunks, etc.

  Then replace the whole thing with something that isn’t a hand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  FWIW, KISS. I built an elaborate WC setup. It was fun, looks neat, and expensive. Super-quiet and cool running. That said, as the years have gone by the WC cost of time/maintenance has been a downside. Even AIO will need some care and have a higher potential cost of failure than air cooled. Fans are easily replaceable vs having to remove and replace a pump or cooling block, or deal with a leak. Most new fans are super-quiet (as long as you don’t have one of those absurd cases with 10 fans in it) so you can enjoy gaming with a cool-running setup and no sound of a server farm running by your desk.

  Because you don’t buy ten houses thinking you’re gonna deliberately fuck ten other people out of way more money than each house is worth because you wanna make a bunch of money. You’re no better than Ticketmaster or Blackrock driving up prices on housing and entertainment making them big bucks while fucking the regular person. Do you like Blackrock and Ticketmaster? Gonna engage in some gymnastics to tell is why it’s all Ok?

  Pet rocks.

  Nowadays people spend their money on sensible crazes, like Stanley Mugs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Check mate, atheists. ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bible is essentially the sole source, a novel of historical fiction. Just enough reality tossed in to make it all real. You’d think news that a dude running around magically healing people, or magically creating food and wine, would have spread like wildfire and the authorities would have snatched him up immediately and made him serve the wealthy and powerful on demand. Greed hasn’t changed in thousands of years, there would have been official Roman records of magical deeds. But no, it wasn’t the magic that bothered the authorities, it was bucking the system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need to vent about plastic milk jugs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The dimple was there for stress releif:

  Combined with the octagonal shape of the container, the circular, concave indent on the side of a milk container increases the stability of the plastic, allowing the internal pressure to disperse evenly. This improved structural support also allows jug manufacturers to reduce the amount of resin needed to make each container.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whats the best use for 75 dollars?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To do the math;

  $75 x 25 years at (a conservative) 5% = ~$253

  @7% it’s over $400.

  Probably not worth your time to wait 25 years for that.

  However,

  $10/mo at 7% is much more interesting: $8,200

  And $10/week: $34,500

  Over 25 years this isn’t huge, but it’s *something.”

  I used a very conservative % because past gains do not guarantee future performance, and one should not put all their eggs on one basket…But VOO over 30 years averaged 10%, so $10/week with $75 start @ 10% for 25 years is just under $55,000. Double it to $20/wk and you’ve got $108,000.

  IDK what’s in store for the world, but for now, people should invest early and regularly. If it all goes to shit even money under the mattress won’t help, so go for the % IMO.

  Just stick with rock candy and salt. Minerals like cinnabar and orpiment have a short enjoyment period.

  These are the same ones that complain that drama always follows them and that it’s everyone else around them that are causing all the trouble. These people can be fun to hang out with, but not remain close to for long periods. They tend to be self destructive.

  There’s plenty of adults. Anon just isn’t hanging out with them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you ever watch old classic TV shows and realize that they are all dead⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  G’kar and Londo pretty much carried that show. Best lines, best character arcs, best character stories. The chemistry between the actors and their writing was something I looked forward to every episode. I rewatched it again just a year or so a go. Once you get past the rough start and the actors settle onto their roles it’s good.
