I’ll scream it at anyone who will listen - I’m old enough to remember when comedy and tragedy were two separate things.

They need to work on the return policy if they want to be like Amazon. It’s well within 30 days.

(I am so sorry I use comedy to survive the daily mental assaults)

“we are special snowflakes who need special treatment.”

They shouldn’t even count as news FFS.

Good on you for making that change, and having empathy for others.

Idiot has the same entomology as retard though, does it not? As does stupid? They all start as medical diagnoses and then assholes turn them to slurs and then the medical field refines and renames and things start to repeat.

We had special education class, Special Ed, for kids struggling in certain ways, so if course the shitty kids would call kids “sp-ed” because of course they would.

I’m not sure when the line gets crossed or if we should have gone back or what, but retard, to me, has a very particular connotation that is useful for describing certain people’s actions. I don’t do it any more because I’d rather live in a peaceful society that fosters respect, but it is one of those things I “don’t get”

That would probably be too merciful an outcome, frankly…

Its bonkers that we spend so much city funds to make every road and sideroad and street an extra 1-2 lanes wide, then store private vehicles there… The snow storm in Toronto was fun to watch. Main streets with cars that had been parked for over a week. Not because they were trapped, I get that the first few days. But because they leave what, once or twice a month?

Speaking from experience. My mother-in-law just said “oh well I’ll walk.” For 2 weeks, before we realized she just couldn’t unbury her car on her own. So why does she own a car that lives permanently on a side street?

Listening to our Wanna-Be-Mayor shutting down our bike lanes because they block traffic, I drive (yes I’m part of the problem) daily along routes that have parking outside of morning rush hour or whatever, and I’ll count 19 cars over a 2km stretch that essentially turn 2 lanes into 1 plus sometimes a turning lane. But yes. It’s the bike lanes that are the problem…

I wrote a 11 part essay in second or third year university about how shit my phone was. Not for marks, didn’t publish it anywhere. I just hated it so much and wanted to gather my thoughts. If only YouTube has been a big enough thing for little old me, could have been one of the first video essay, listicle, tech critiquing channels.

But yeah Samsung never won me back after that. If you can’t build a flip phone right, I don’t want your fridges…

Can’t tell if you are just a bad troll or have honestly never played the game and don’t know what you are talking about.

Uhh… If they only celebrated when they accomplished something (even their own shit goals that hurt themselves and their countrymen) they would never get a chance. Strike while the iron is hot. Before you realise you set your own house on fire and should probably stop fucking around inside and get out.

Does Lemmy have a /boringsystopia yet?

Oh Allen Turner? Who started using his middle name instead of Brock Turner? Because he raped an unconscious woman behind a dumpster? That guy? (Brock/Allen Turner?)

I just want to be sure I’m thinking of the right guy…

This Brock Allen Turner right?

Yeah I can’t recall using a typewriter seriously, but for sure I’ve used on for fun. Also trying to get a commodore 64 to print my homework in 1992 should aub in nicely.

This is ok because it’s us and not them.

Ok I think I read all the comments sufficiently and I still don’t see the feature I most want: sort by duration.

Dinner is in 20 minutes. Click time range, set for 15-20 minutes. Look through suggestions from subscriptions that are 15-20min long. Pick one. Enjoy video knowing when it ends you’ll be able to go eat dinner/go to bed/leave for work.

Nah bud, accent is chef’s kiss

Not related. It’s not a zero sum game. Spending on certain things can save money and allow for tax cuts, tax cuts can create business growth or income in other ways and allow more spending. Defering tax cuts to a certain time or spending to a certain time can lead to better results, ect ect ect.

Anyone who thinks it’s linked and must be Tax up=Spending up or Tax down=Spending down should probably not even be in charge of their own homes finances. Even children are taught how to save their allowance over time and then spend it, and I had occasion as a child to “borrow” my allowance to purchase a toy that was on sale.

Her lawyer hasn’t talked to her, but we know who to ask. Where would we be if the camera hadn’t captured the kidnapping? Missing student?

So… What happens if there aren’t cameras where the political abduction occurs? The government can just wait a few weeks then sell them to El Salvador and let their friends and family believe they are missing?

instinctively starts headbanging to the rad soundtrack

I’m really not following you anymore.

I wasn’t dismissing the fact that (in Ontario anyways) the HPV vaccine was rolled out for girls and not boys. I’m trying to get you to use your brain and think about “why” that would be.

Because if you think some board of doctors and scientists in the late 90’s was like “you know what, fuck men, let’s give this vaccine only to women, that will level the playing field.” Then I don’t know what to tell you.
