Because they’re too stupid to follow along and understand everyday politics, so this level of insanity seems like 3D chess to them.

You can also track aggregate up and down votes per user! You’re a solid +13 for me, you’re cool.

I felt my blood pressure spiking from just reading this. I’m glad you were okay!

I have it, the hypermobile type (hEDS)

Upside: reduced likelihood of osteoarthritis

Downside: all the pain, doctors think you’re crazy

I bet they loved Iron Sky.

Look into Ehlers - Danlos Syndrome, a connective tissue disorder. Sufferers describe similar symptoms.

That’s just a fantasy.

Bingo. My approach to this is being really honest. Just tell her you’re interested and how you’re interested. See where the conversation goes from there.

If we had shitty rewards, I’d give you a Lemmy Latinum.

You can always glob it full of petroleum jelly (I did quantitative fit testing for a time, it really works) but it’s gross.

In the video: putting them in the freezer for three days will also kill them. After watching that video, I feel itchy everywhere.

Don’t you unplug it and plug it back in again?

My partner just did the SAME operation on our Shork vacuum cleaner due to steadily declining performance. The ultimate diagnosis is the brush head has lost its brushes. They don’t sell a replacement, but they do sell an entire power head replacement for $99. Fuck these guys, we’ll never buy a Shark again.

I test drove one because I had to know. It was awful. I’ve driven dozens of different vehicles and it by far is the worst I’ve ever driven. It’s just stupid. Everything about it is stupid.

It also felt satisfying to cost Tesla like $10 in electricity and wear and tear.

Well duh, every woman has a pussy goblin until she pees it out on her 21st birthday!

Wait, vag magnets are pseudoscience?! My partner has an entire data center’s worth of HDD magnets up hers to ward the evil crotch spirits away!

I’m assuming they’re looking to buy after this condo sale. If that’s the case, they may not have much choice as their next place will be similarly insanely inflated, so they need that money to get the monthly payment to something affordable.

That’s the position my partner and I are in. We have equity in our house, but it’s mostly because it has “appreciated” to a level that we could never afford, despite making a combined over quarter million dollars a year (due to living in a high cost of living area). Even if we sold our house at full inflated market price and used it all as a down payment, we’d be hard pressed to afford a place with the same price.

It’s not that I’m complaining about the equity, it just doesn’t get me much when everything else is insanely inflated. We barely squeaked into the place we’re in because COVID tanked interest rates and prices in our area.

So you misread my comment but you’re one of those types who can’t admit when they’re wrong. I’d say it’s our little secret but I see someone else pointed it out too.

So then you’re in favor of these government backdoors? Because your comment suggests the opposite.

Huh? I don’t think you understand my comment. Except for the last line, you’re just further agreeing with me and I’m already agreeing with you.
