Could be a problem if you’re regularly taking stimulants in medication or drinks unfortunately.

So what you’re telling me is that being tricked into eating a dog treat really isn’t that big of a deal and in fact! relates to the poverty stricken parts of society and the struggles of class warfare so they really just need to get over the whole incident?

Works great in a petri dish for fun mycology experiments you can perform at home!

Wait, are we suppose to be in favor of the first one? I think like maybe a 25% tone down/declutter of the one on the right is a good sweet spot that’s comfy and livable.

Normally I would agree but the brutality and whiplash like nature of the comment definitely has some dark humor to it. I was thrown off at first till I realized the context of them roleplaying as “Brandon” from the image. It’s crass, but checks out as an attempt for me. Then again, I applaud people who are willing to be downvoted for a good well-hidden joke (the whole woosh thing).

Or they can wholesale just make shit up like all the evangelical rapture crap. Hell, look at even the constitution and how that’s been stretched and colored for all of the anti-progressive rhetoric in the past.

I’m not 100% on board with @sulgoth@lemmy.world because it gives off some “but you participate in society, interesting” vibes. However, as an American I am all for people from the rest of the world boycotting our products (and this time not because of the health implications!). When Canadians were promoting non-american alternatives I agreed with them so I think we can say fuck companies and still stand with the actual individual people who want peace and everyone to prosper respectfully.

I just bookmark the piracy megathread/wiki thingy, lemmy/reddit (backup). For streaming, I would probably recommend hydra, it’s really all the same but that site has “auto-next” which I prefer. There was one site I used to enjoy that was just better than any streaming platform I’ve paid for, skip intro, skip credits (would even detect after credit scenes), subtitles in all languages and audio tracks even commentary, quick responsive high quality loading of any media your mind can remember. They went after it hard and I haven’t seen a proper iteration since (every clone slowly lost features as they were whack-a-moling).

For downloading, they’re really all crappy (several link hoops to jump through) and hit or miss (for quality and selection you can’t beat the ease of a torrent unfortunately). You can find what you want eventually but the difference in hassle is just crazy.

You ok there bud? First day on the internet and you just needed to talk to someone?

This is a perfect example btw, I didn’t just dismiss you because of your confusion. But now since you’ve just been wasting time for clarification you never actually cared about (only to then try to insult in the lamest way possible online), and your other really horrible posts and comments I can easily move on and not care about this interaction at all!

I was interested to look up the stats since I didn’t know and there were downvotes, just gotta say the domestic violence statistics is both crazy high and confusing. It seems every site uses it’s own selections of datasets to come up with way different statistics.

I think this is simplifying and twisting narratives. Republicans didn’t plan for Trump, but the evangelicals and extremists rolled with it (just like progressives and antifa would’ve rolled with someone like Bernie). Besides an authoritarian take over of elections, the republicans don’t seem to be putting anyone electable up on a podium lately.

I doubt any of us are privy to what the Democrats plan and play long term, if anything they’ve been more effective at controlling their party if we’re looking at them through the lens of being moderates. If you think they’re “failing”… it’s in the eyes of a citizen and not what their donor’s interests are which is the priority of the party.

I am interested to learn about how the rest of the world is handling the “news” issue though, I see a lot of media coming from other countries (like UK and Australia) which follow the same format of fox so figured we were all fucked when it comes to actually vetting what can be labeled as a news source.

You’re giving off some strong “I just awakened my ChatGPT” vibes here. Raw genuine unadulterated humanity is a figment of your imagination just like the “original” tomato, both have evolved from prior iterations of it’s ancestors and will continue changing in the future. Why not just aim for primordial bliss?

invasive species = non-native. But, non-native doesn’t always mean it’s an invasive species.

Invasive Species: Any species that has been introduced to an environment where it is not native, and that has since become a nuisance through rapid spread and increase in numbers, often to the detriment of native species.

I don’t think having a non-native title is necessarily bad, just that it didn’t originate/evolve in that area.

It helps if you’re not vague when asking for clarification and quote what the issue is directly, the made-up quote doesn’t really help if you wish to get an actual helpful response.

people should be friends with people who litter, and politely encourage them to improve their behavior?

My response: Make friends first without requirements

Or that they should walk away from people that litter?

response: Learn who they are and why they do things before passing judgement. From there, evaluate what kind of relationship you want with the person going forward (is this a co-worker? Someone from a friend group? What kind of relationship is required to move forward)

You can make friends…then unmake if necessary. If that’s your confusion.

Make friends first without requirements, communicate if an action of theirs disturbs you or makes you feel some kind of way. Learn who they are and why they do things before passing judgement. Let them know your experience. From there, evaluate what kind of relationship you want with the person going forward. But, communicate! the reason why. Allow the ability for people to surprise you and change if they care about your feelings (including allowing yourself to change if they present good arguments).

People have friends or acquaintances for different reasons and have different philosophies over what’s important in those relationships, mileage may vary.

Just wanted to put in a counter for what a lot of people are saying in here, if you’re looking for a “perfect-clone friend” right out the gate then prepare to be lonely as your tests fail… not because they’re horrible people, but because they’re a different person with different experiences.

The person litters (like @tiramichu@sh.itjust.works suggested)? Probably see’s their entire family litter constantly and never gets comments or maybe even once got reprimanded for saying not to litter to an elder. Just ask them not to when they’re in your vehicle, take into account their reaction and maybe have a conversation about it? (personal experience, just let me friend know it was lame and he stopped doing it. But now his vehicle is a roaming trashcan so I guess take what you can get)

You can be friends with people who are different or were raised differently than you, it’s actually super beneficial! Now if it’s a constant argument or it’s turned into a negative experience every time and communication isn’t working… it might be useful to move on for everyone’s sake at that point.

I do the clean up thing just because I don’t like having a bunch of shit in front of me all spread out. I think it’s years of having to clean up my stations and desks so I can actually function so it’s just habitual. We should be taking into consideration that this might not be helpful at all to the worker if these other comments are to be believed.

There is Smokey and the Bandit which is another example of the irony of the south.
