What a humble brag

I have a Thicc Charizard hanging from my rear view mirror!

Also, aren’t executive orders still subject to Supreme Court rulings? What would stop them from just overruling it again?

Personally I’ve never liked the idea of NSFL. It just doesn’t feel like it has the eighth connotation, it’s wording feels like it’s meant to be a joke when it’s content is rarely funny. I think just using “Gore” or “Death” would be absolutely better.

Yeah sounds like a Purple Cow, I’d be all over that

I do a strict order but it’s generally by what I consider the main parts of the dish. So I always eat the main dish before the sides and if there’s multiple sides, I’ll eat the more “important” one first and so on. There’s not much logic to it, my brain just sorts it out automatically

This is one of the reasons I don’t leave my job even though I don’t love it. I have job security out my ass, it’s a huge company that has almost no chance of being bought (I think we’re the biggest company in our field but maybe 2nd), the pay is good enough and there’s no asshole middle management. I’m absolutely willing to do boring work for the rest of my life and not have to worry about that kind of stuff.

To put that into perspective, the oldest known permanent human settlement is about 25,000 years old. The Bronze Age wouldn’t start for another ~20,000 years, so they wasn’t any metal working.

Yeah it’s not “normal” in the sense that it’s probably only happened a couple of times in history, but there’s nothing wrong witht he though process. Although 50 minutes to clean the infusers is a real long time, but if you had no other option, might as well

This is a problem with all of these Tik Tok clones (and even Tik Tok let’s you do it for some videos). It’d so annoying to be watching a 45 second reel but if I miss something, I have to watch the whole thing again

Maybe a hot take but I’d say this is true about most Neil Blomkamp movies too

Well “entertaining” is subjective. If these people weren’t entertaining, they wouldn’t have so many followers.

There are absolutely a ton of people out there taking advantage of certain people and manipulating them as opposed to actually being entertaining, but that’s not an “influencer” problem, that’s just a people problem. That happens in every industry with human interaction.

Plenty of influencers just post content they think their followers will like and use that following to make money as well. And a lot of the time, their followers actually enjoy the things they advertise.

And the great thing is if you don’t like the concept, you can just not follow them.

Finally scheduled the two root canals I need. I get pretty bad anxiety talking on the phone, especially to strangers so doctor’s appointments are always hard. But I finally did it so I’ll be done with this pain soon.

I get your point, but I think lemm.ee is still so much smaller than lemmy.world that it’s not much of a problem (at least not yet).

Yeah same. It’d be real nice and help out, but not life changing or anything.

I’ve read that brushing your teeth actually helps protect your teeth from food and sugars you consume throughout the day. So eating beforehand bypasses that protection (unless you ask brush at night, which I imagine would be good enohgh).

The latter for sure. And to be fair, my experience wasn’t identical to what the post was asking. It wasn’t so much a house party as it was having ~10 friends over. And my dad was often home, just already asleep. I definitely wouldn’t have tried to have a legitimate house party with the cameras around.

My dad did have cameras all over the house while I was in high school. But there weren’t any in my room so we could hang out in there. There also weren’t any in the bathroom so we could stash the alcohol in there and just pour it into cups.

Both of these required a parent not that dedicated to actually stopping his kids from partying though. But a parent sufficiently dedicated was always going to be able to find out somehow.

I’ve definitely watched it recently and still enjoy it just as much. But also, your sense of humor can change over time so it probably just doesn’t fit what you like anymore.

The Princess Bride. It has great comedy, action, and romance. It’s influenced my sense of humor and it’s just so much fun.
