Look, you get born, you keep your head down, and then you die. If you’re lucky.

Never put off to tomorrow today what you can put off to next week tomorrow.
Pizza from a specific pizza place near me. I get the free choice pizza (5 toppings of your choice) but load it with extras. My usual is:
plus.
I’m hoping one day they’ll name it after me and offer it on the menu.
If you want to learn how to use chopsticks, get a couple of friends together and order some really nice Chinese food. Serve it in bowls or on plates on a small table with you and your friends gathered around with a pair of chopsticks each.
The rules of the game are simple:
You will quickly learn how to use the chopsticks!
I always keep my onions in the refrigerator and never have issues cutting them.
Taking my son and his best friend to Legoland for his birthday. It’ll be a day of queuing, but I know they’ll have a great time.
Although it’s not really possible to eat pizza without rawdoggin it.
Unless you use a fork and knife like a heathen
I have my butler cut up my pizza for me with a pizza knife and a pizza fork. And then I have my nanny feed it to me. “Here comes the train to the tunnel, choo-choo!”
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
Family coming over for lunch and I’m doing a (variation on) porcetta. I’ve got a lovely piece of pork belly which has been airdrying in the fridge since yesterday morning. Should be cracking crackling. If the weather holds I’ll do it on the rotisserie on my Kamado Joe.
If you like a barbecue (or a barbie, bbq, or braai) come and join us at Cooking With Fire. We need more regular posters!
Still karma whoring then!
Whoever has been left as its leadership is a dumbass.
Not in the slightest. More likely their annual bonus depends on boosting revenue right now. So they’re incentivised to generate short term increases in revenue but not for longer term. Plus, also, if/when Youtube goes tits up they’ll just get a different CEOing job (with “increased revenue by 25% in 2024 on their resume”) rinse and repeat.
I remember: “It’s better to do something than live with the fear of it”. Then I get on with it.
Kind of my point. We gained ecommerce, streaming services, platforms such as this one, online gaming, mapping services, and others - at the cost of the freedoms for which people are nostalgic. And now we have ads, personalization, tracking, and inevitable enshitification.
Back in the days of the wild frontier things were chaotic, anarchic, violent, and unconstrained.
Then came the churches, then came the schools
Then came the lawyers, then came the rules
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was the Telegraph Road
And now we’re all fenced in, regulated, allowed to wander only in approved lanes… oh, wait, sorry, we’re talking about the internet, not real life!
I think this is the first example of blatant karma farming I’ve seen on lemmy. It was inevitable.
I mean, sure, it’s no looker, but if it makes mail carriers’ lives easier then that’s a win. Will probably be ‘iconic’ in a decade or two.
Blue Lights is really good. Very tense!
Ooh, Sledge Hammer was fun. My memory says something like David Rasche for the lead?
Be me.
Be 12.
With my friend, steal a pack of ciggies from his mum.
Smoke a couple in low ground between two fields, surrounded by Meadow Pipits and Chiffchaffs.
Didn’t bother for a fair few years after that. Never really got into it, but enjoyed the acceptable work breaks that came with it for a while. Haven’t smoked more than a cigar or two a year for the last 25 years.
