May I introduce you to Electric Six?

The fact that people believe this was real shows that even the most basic media literacy is fucking dead.

Why are people so bad at recognizing obviously fake shit?

Not a single millennial was old enough to vote for Clinton. Barely any were old enough to vote for Bush, even during his second term.

Do not lump millennials in with that mess. We didn’t make it, we were just forced to grow up with it.

“People will not forget!”

Ron Howard: “They Would.”

I mean, he was incredibly rich. That probably helped.

Maybe recognize that your partner doesn’t ascribe as much meaning to arbitrary dates and that silently expecting them to do something is a toxic mentality. I hope you realize you’re not teaching them any sort of lesson, you are intentionally setting yourself up to be disappointed/upset at your partner for not following the rules of a game they didn’t know you were playing.

Especially these days. Don’t you think it’s possible they have other things on their mind? I know I do. Between trying to figure out how to pay bills, figuring out how to save a little so we can retire some day, thinking about how stressful my job is, thinking about all the chores that need to be done, worrying about the health of myself and my family, worrying about car/home repairs, keeping insurance/registrations/enrollments/appointments/documents all up to date, and the endless struggle of what we’re having for dinner tonight; there’s just not a whole lot of mental space left for reading my partner’s mind and fulfilling their unspoken expectations.

You say this has been happening for years. Ever think that it’s just not something that’s going to change? That you’re expecting a fish to climb a tree unprompted and then getting upset with the fish when it doesn’t?

Grow the fuck up. Be a partner to your partner. How hard is it to say “Hey, I’d like to feel special on Valentine’s Day. It’s important to me.”?

I would also accept bringing back gladiatorial combat for people like this. Obviously his teeth and fingernails should be ripped out beforehand though. Fair is fair.

I don’t know about the .ee instance, but the .world one tends to have every post downvoted to zero and every comment stating why conservatives are wrong. I try to keep my ear to the ground and know what crazy talking points conservatives are believing and the .world sub is pretty much useless for that. I don’t think there’s a single conservative that actually uses that sub.

Lemmy has conservative subs?

Things are tense, but are they really Cuban Missile Crisis levels of tense?

Public trillionaires

Trillionaires almost certainly already exist. There are many people and families who do not publicly report their net worth. Putin is a good example.

Lemmy’s narrative is that CBS couldn’t possibly be covering the Palestinians release because the people at CBS are evil and biased and who hate all of Palestine.

The truth is they are covering both sides releases and Lemmy users eager willingness to believe they wouldn’t is willful ignorance.

Lol. I like how there’s no response to you, just angry downvoting. People on Lemmy really are terrified of the truth if it doesn’t fit their narratives.

“You are trapped in my devious trap! See how if you try to pull apart, it only grips you tighter; but if you move closer, your tips will touch and that’s gay! What will you do now, Mr. Bond? What will you do now?!”

Fortunately, commercial pilots in the US have access to mental health resources to help treat things like substance abuse or the underlying factors that could lead to it.

Oh wait, I misspoke.

What I meant to say was commercial pilots in the US can not seek mental health resources AT ALL or they get their license revoked by the FAA. Silly me.

To me a good Scotch Whisky is an event drink. Drink it to celebrate, drink it to mourn, just as long as there is some some triggering event that warrants it.

The sequel is Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator which deals with such topics as a massive luxury space hotel, shapeshifting aliens that will bludgeon you to death and eat you for existing near them, and accidentally reversing the age of one of your grandparents so far that they blink out of existence and you have to travel into the extremely dangerous pre-existance void to save them.

Whataburger is not the cheapest price. Not by a long shot.

Gotta be careful with that. I shared an office with an old guy once and had to bring headphones. We wouldn’t talk, but he would constantly make old man noises. Coughs, grunts, snorts, etc. If I didn’t block them out, they would drive me crazy like nails on a chalkboard. That said, the guy himself was really cool and I loved working with him otherwise.

Gaetz hasn’t been considered for AG for months now.
