Raising Hope was great, especially the first couple seasons.

How about fried chicken?

Huh, wonder it was a local variant? Either way, it’s a great saying.
- Comment on So true 6 days ago:
It’s a little less used these days. I have German family, they’re all older, so the saying may be out of style compared to their time. It’s usually “best sauce” but I’ve also heard “beste Koch” as well.
- Comment on So true 1 week ago:
And it was damn good. What’s that German saying? “Hunger makes the best sauce”? When you’re really hungry this is five Michelin star good.

Bizarre. I didn’t have it that difficult.
Ah well, it’s reddit. I don’t use it anymore. Yeah, I miss some of the niche places, but not enough to put up with the rest of it. You’re here now, so time to grow lemmy!

Same account? Sure. New account? I’m surprised.

They absolutely get your IP and probably some cookie data saved on your computer. Not sure about phones, those are privacy nightmares. I got tagged for trying to get around an IP ban on a sub, so they absolutely track that. Cleared all cookies and trackers, unplugged my modem for a few hours so my ISP would issue a new IP, and once I verified that I had a new IP I was able to use the sub under a different account.

Because the gun nuts are on the “same side” as the fascists.
They’re just too stupid to understand that the fascists will come to take their guns eventually. They never want anyone to be able to challenge their power.

Since when does reddit take a hash of your hardware?
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 1 week ago:
That’s 1375.
Not good, not bad. Depends on where you ended up on the globe. There absolutely is civilization, but it’s all kings and Tsars and the like. The English and French Hundred Years War is winding down but the plague really did a number on Europe. Lots of war in India. It wasn’t a great time in the Middle East what with the Crusades and all. The Egyptians are conquering Armenia. The Songhai Emprire is growing in Eastern Africa. Southeast Asia had a lot of conquest and a large kingdom growing, might not have been so bad as long as you landed on the winning side. The Ming Dynasty just started in China.
So it’s not like you ended up in pre-civilization or among dinosaurs or something. There are plenty of people around, but it’s still an age of war and conquest. Your best bet to have a great life would be to ally yourself with a strong leader and give them advancements to help that leader “win”. Of course, if he were defeated, you’d be slowly tortured and killed by the opposing side.
- Comment on Choose a number, 1-5! 1 week ago:
None of them are great, all too thin and probably have hard corners from being stamped cheap metal, but maybe 2. Four can fuck off, too wide and trying to be a spoon the rest are too narrow in the handle.

They just make shit up as they go and expect everyone to obey and call it the truth.

- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 3 weeks ago:
It’s been awful for a while.
All the too/to/two or their/they’re/there kind of wreckage along with stuff like “for all intensive purposes”, “flee market”, or “diffuse the situation”. There’s tons of writing like thAt everywhere. Wouldn’t be so bad if people learned when corrected, but I think most can’t be bothered.
My take is that people don’t read anymore and there’s probably an unhealthy dose of laziness and “gotta write all messed up to act cool” to boot.
Reading well-written books of any sort will help fix how words go together and how they look. But today everyone reads everyone else’s shitty grammar, spelling, and whatever massacre of stylistic choices were made to stand out and look cool in the comment section of the youtube videos or tiktoks they just watched. That’s probably the extent of the reading they do.

It’s already been hit with and Itasha Mk-1 missle.
- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 3 weeks ago:
All the time. To the point of if I don’t use it I really kinda have a “Shit, forgot my signal” moment.
That said I don’t get too bent out of shape about other people signaling unless it’s these two situations: making a tight lane change, or with a speed differential where I’m overtaking. Basically just short of cutting me off. Signal and I can compensate. Cut over and fuck you. Second is braking before signaling a turn, say into a driveway or side street. IDK what the hell they teach in driver’s ed these days but we got drilled that you signal first and then brake because the signal is a warning to the driver behind you that you’re gonna slow for a turn and gives them time to prepare for what you’re gonna do. Be predictable. Seems like 3/4 time people just hit their brakes in the middle of the lane leaving you wondering wtf they’re doing or if they’re just an idiot.
- Comment on Anon is a statistic 3 weeks ago:
When there are millions of gun owners even a few percent using guns for “baby rattles” is still a very significant number.
- Comment on America is fucked 3 weeks ago:
A retort that completely disregards the reasons why it doesn’t work in some major cities based on the sole example presented here while you make sweeping judgements conflated into an overall judgement of everyone living here. Wow. Fuck right off. Really. Blocked.
- Comment on America is fucked 3 weeks ago:
Well, I guess you’ve got it all figured out then. Just stupid Americans, right?
- Comment on America is fucked 3 weeks ago:
Yeah that’s usually at an intersection where the only place to go to is into a red light with crossing traffic. A quick search of laws in the US shows no relief for motorists just because there’s a fire truck behind you trying to get through. If you run the red light to make way you could be ticketed (even though it would be real asshole to issue the ticket), and if someone hits you while you run the red or move into tbe intersection to make way it’s your fault. So there’s a lot of disincentive to move in those cases. Where I live people all move over if they can. Otherwise they stay put to be predictable and let the emergency vehicle use the breakdown lane or oncoming traffic. Worst thing is when people cluelessly start randomly trying to outsmart the ambulance and cause a clusterfuck of cars that nobody can get past. US drivers have fuckall for discipline.
- Comment on America is fucked 3 weeks ago:
There are no lanes to move aside into. It has nothing to do with vehicle size or “driving away”. I really don’t know what to tell you, I’ve spent plenty of time in several German cities as well as US cities, the comparison isn’t there. There are no breakdown lanes or shoulders to move into in many places to make room for emergency vehicles. You’re welcome to argue all you want, but I drive in and around NYC regularly so I’m more than familiar.
- Comment on America is fucked 3 weeks ago:
There’s no place for anyone to move to. The congestion is such that you cannot get out of the way. The Van Wyck alone will slow an ambulance to 3-5mph because of traffic. You cannot get out of the way if there’s no place to go!
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 3 weeks ago:
Not sure what your point is. Just send a ton of messages when one will (should) do? If the information is pertinent or pressing then it’s not useful to have to send multiple messages.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 3 weeks ago:
As per my last email…here’s the same email again.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 3 weeks ago:
Ah, one of my top complaints about digital communication. Doesn’t matter if it’s SMS or email, someone plainly doesn’t read the entirety of what you wrote even if it’s relatively short. Irritatingly sometimes taking another two follow-ups regarding the exact same subject or question ending up with both parties likely getting frustrated.
