Time to stop using lemmy.world communities, fellas.

  • I don't consider reddit/lemmy as social media. The lack of 'necessity' of having your personal info plastered about and inserted into every exchange makes them something different. They're just a different form of forum, in my opinion, with nested comments instead of a long chain.

  • That sounds an awful lot like a redneck cajun hocking a loogey.

  • Us has a veto power in the security council, not the general assembly. The veto power group only has a handful of members, not all 150+ countries.

  • Damn.

    Her statements about lies in politics are too fucking prophetic though.

  • It's all the fur. Hard to have that level of energy output without building up a lot of waste heat, and it's hard to void said waste heat when you're insulated.

  • Really bad bdsm, at that. I was curious what it would be like, considering anne rice wrote all the vampire novels that featured sex gods before meyer even had her wet dream, and it was just boringly blase 'girl gets told what to do while naked in front of strangers and is told she is beautiful for it and learns to love it.'

  • No, the factoid is that there's enough nicotine in a single cigarette to kill you, if all of that nicotine got past your blood-brain barrier at once. Since that's more or less an impossibility, don't worry about eating one.

  • They sell the idea of a fantasy. There are plenty of men who joke about finding someone to make them a 'trophy husband.' Not having to work, being doted on by another person, having a life of luxury... these are powerful yearnings that can easily be twisted by manipulators. The short form video that has taken over everything is key to selling it as well. It hides all the negatives and just splatters you with all this positive feeling, and it works on basically everything. Recipes? Done in five seconds with the easiest cleanup (ignored). Chores? Done in six seconds by some 'amazing' method. Kids wrecking your peace and destroying the house? Easily solved with ten seconds of effort and supplies that magically appeared.

    Now take all of those concepts and roll them up in a little package that is delivered to the frazzled, over-worked, financially struggling young person (in this case the girl who is now living on her own [without family, that is] with three roommates) and tell them if they can just find a husband who looooooves them all their worries will be gone, and being a trad wife suddenly becomes a dream. It's not really any different than how we culturally treat the wedding day: it's built into this giant affair that is largely promoted to be the highest peak in a relationship, and we get the stupidly expensive production and the bridezillas as a result. Now we're getting a large amount of women who are willing to trade the long term goods (suffrage and other rights) for what they think they could get as a tradwife.

    I could go on about how men are also getting sucked into this fantasy on the other end as a part of that 'toxic masculinity' we hear about, but since we're on about tradwifes in this post, I'll save it.

  • I've often wondered, did the filmmakers decide to just inflate those with air, or did they subtly show a loss of mass in other areas as the terminator moved things around internally?

  • There are four arrs in your use of raspberry. Try using them in a pie!

  • They don't care if the hook eventually turns back on them. They've spent the best years of their lives getting their rocks off by making you waste the best years of your life.

  • Tesla is a pretty clear example of what's 'wrong' with stocks as a capital/market correcting factor. The value of a stock is solely dependent on what people think it's worth, and meme stocks go uuuuuup!

  • I do not care if you keep a facebook account open just to talk to your dear aunt Ethel over the holidays

    I do care. Aunt ethel got used to twitter, she got used to facebook, she got used to messenger when they forced that switch... she can get used to signal/matrix/xmpp or whatever else you desire.

  • Oh goddamnit. I was listening to the radio with my partner while driving and heard a song that I thought was good, and it was this one. Does that mean I'm infected now?

  • Okay, angst I get, but 'fluff' and angst? Are we on a porn set with conflicted morals?

  • I sing that at the company karaoke every year, and just replace 'company' with our company's name. It usually gets good chuckles from the workers and scowls from the sycophantic managers.

  • Everything that is unnecessarily loud is included.

  • The name, the instance, and the commenting behavior all sort of add up to something odd. Then you take the specifics of each comment and how they just seem... bland and vague enough they could have been in reply to anything.

    Just, for instance, look at the two comments made in this post.
