It’s not even that much “upkeep”, honestly, to the point I wouldn’t really consider it as such. But these things are attached to men, and despite being a man myself it is amazing how alienated from my own gender I feel whenever the topic of basic personal hygiene comes up. I’m Captain Man right up until I use a public washroom and the seat’s got piss on it and the dude’s walking out of there without washing his hands like bro.
Ok? And this is relevant how? I’m Canadian, so pretty tied to the US’s bullshit at the moment, but damn where’s this US bravery I keep hearing so much about?
Deflection isn’t going to solve your problems.
Oh no, we won’t be able to afford houses or rent or save for retirement or- hang on just a second…
Wait, we already can’t do those things, and the last thing I want to do is, once again, validate the existence of people I would prefer to see in little pieces scattered all over the street for all the pain and suffering they’ve caused just to get a little more money on top of their billions.
That still counts, though. Why would you not count that?
Sure, if you’re blind or someone mislabelled any of the myriad better places out there.
Try to do online games with my best friend once a week, I do jams with people in public once or twice a week, will probably be dancing in some capacity once a week, and I’ve got a second date coming up soon. Then there’s weekly D&D, of course, and any of the unique plans that come up during the week.
Of course non of that stops me feeling sorry for myself when I have even one day where I lay around and do nothing but I try to just let the feeling pass instead of worrying about it too much.
Do you not have hobbies? Not even once a week or month?
Future of democracy in the US relies on the people being vaguely intelligent as a group. Right now tens of millions of people there are straight-up worshipping an obvious fascist as god-king and a sizeable portion of the other chunk is still desperately clinging to the idea of being “moderate”.
A linux phone would be nice but it’s not going to save the world if the people are still dumb and cowardly.
“They’re stupid as anything, but at least they mean well.” Bar’s in hell, goddamn.
Israel, the country committing a genocide? The country actively and openly exterminating an entire ethnic group? And the product isn’t even good anyway?
Yea, it’s actually so easy to tell them to fuck off. If you can’t figure that out your moral compass is broken and you should send it in for a warantee repair.
Yo first line of that says that many public restrooms don’t have have TP at all and you need to bring your own. What the fuck even is that system to begin with?!
Saw a kid at the zoo banging all up on the glass at a turtle yelling “WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP” and his dad aas doing fuck all. Tried to say “hey buddy maybe we chill” but I don’t really think it got through and he only stopped because of coincidental timing(a parent that shitty would probably get mad at me and I was there to have a good day).
(Note: I did have a good day, the zoo is awesome. We pet rays).
Possibly, especially a lot of weird conservative kids who don’t fully understand how relationships work. But really it’s not a huge deal.
Here that? They did lip service while handing over power enthusiastically to the most comically and obviously evil people they could find!
“This nose has had it too good for too long! Enough is enough!”
100% I’ve been saying this for such a long time. I believe the saying is “cutting of your nose to spite your face” or something.
The US: “we need to be making more babies! Also fuck you, here’s a bill for the amount of a very nice new car! Get fucked, loser!”
Well me and the other guy were talking about laymen, and that’s context this conversation is happening in.
And no they didn’t install Windows, but there’s also really on one “Windows” and spending more got you more but not different so even if you got ripped off at least you knew you weren’t missing something. That means they could just buy any old Windows laptop and call it a day. Now, if we just default to Ubuntu and ask that ASUS and HP and whoever else start selling laptops with that by default that’d certainly be a start but it would, nonetheless, be a hard sell. We should still try, but it’s still gunna be hard.
So many people just immediately gave into ChatGPT, I doubt Microsoft’s actions will do that much damage. Besides, for anyone not using it it’s pretty easy to ignore. I don’t do a single thing on my PC that requires much beyond opening a game or Firefox so I don’t feel the pressure to leave at the moment.
