“You appear sickly. It’s because one of your humors are imbalanced. Have some bleach in your veins and get some fresh air to reduce the miasma.”

You will.

We’re a gateway drug.

I’m going to go against the grain and suggest finding people with like-minded life situations.

I had a friend who has a divorce at age 40. I did all I could as a friend, provide sympathy, check in. But he was extremely miserable, or just downright offensive.

Dating is hard at that age - I get it. I don’t need to hear his opinion about why women of today aren’t what he wants in every conversation.

I also cannot play his wingman. No, I’m not going to “pretend” to flirt with girls at a bar with him when I’m married.

But it became offensive. Like my niece turned into an adult and he asked: “Is she looking for a man?” Dude, you’re twenty years older. WTF.

Joke or not, as a married man, that’s not where I am in life. And yeah, I absolutely stopped hanging out with him because this version of him is hard to deal with.

Yeah this show was so weird and off-putting. Watched it every day before school.

Yeah it’s super weird when people pick a very specific thing.

Like, imagine if someone wrote “I avoid approaching Brazilian Men With Beards in public because I believe it’s inappropriate. My parents say that it’s a necessary skill. Who is right?”

Speak to people like people. Stop thinking about what’s in their pants.

I love air fryers. I would absolutely get rid of my toaster oven/conventional oven.

I’m not here making giant roasts or pies. I’m just trying to heat up some nuggies and fries.

They cook so much better.

Oh man! I was thinking waffle maker too!

Every consumer grade one had weird power issues, cooks unevenly, or would just be a pain to wash. I used to work at a breakfast place and those high end ones are incredible compared to the garbage that the average person has.

I finally found a really good one after years of junk. But I’m afraid if I praise it too much, it’ll hear me and crap out. (The Dasher Mini waffle maker.)

Same. But not like anything popular/visible.

I found it while sorting by controversial. Then when I got banned for some BS, decided to finally figure this whole “Lemmy” thing out.

How did you get my password?

They desperately wanted to eliminate personal computers and replace them with dumb terminals running over the net.

I don’t know about that.

Dumb terminal concept was more what Chromebook was doing.

Microsoft is doing something even stupider.

Like what? You got some examples?

It’s wiki entries like this that clearly label it as a hoax which is why Republicans think Wikipedia is woke.

Best we can do is take away hypothetical litter boxes in school.

Absolutely. Any vague language has a way of being misinterpreted by the most fanatical and used for evil.

For some reason, I thought that was 4 choices.

And you were passing on the lizard head, and the man wearing a lizard costume.

But that bee…

You can host your own WordPress. It’s open-source software.

And there’s hundreds of hosts who provide WordPress as a software so, while they upsell/can throttle, make money off you providing hosting services, not because you’re using WordPress.

Feel like Im missing a lot of context.

On one end: this reminds me of the anime, Frieren. She talks about how demons learn to use human words to survive. Like a demon would cry “mother” because it knows humans will hesitate, even though demons don’t know what it means. It’s like a magic spell.

On the other end: the Animatrix has a scene where humans crush robots because they’re “not” human, even though AI robots tried their best to coexist peacefully.

I’d vote for Elon Musk as Popeking of Catholicism.

The same way Elon “improved” Twitter and the US Government, I would love it if he did the same for the Catholics.
