Elon is so quick to call people pedos that I 100% think dude must be one himself.

Except that 90% of the time you answer and it just hangs up because it’s testing to see if the line is active to sell to telemarketers

Oh man, a few minutes alone with this and I would be the CLT commander

We’re long past the point of companies doing what’s actually best. Consider how many are returning to offices despite all the evidence that wfh is better for all involved.

As with most things I think a big part of the problem is executives. They live for work. They love coming in and lording over their little fiefdoms and holding pointless meetings where everyone has to listen to them talk. Why would they give up a day of that every week? Why would they let people wfh where they aren’t forced to be in the room making them feel important?

The top answer for me is always a good cast iron pan. Doesn’t have to be expensive but should be quite heavy. It’s not just buy it for life either, it’s buy it for future generation’s lives.

During Covid the sherpas took the opportunity to really clean up Everest, including Green Boots. It’s such a shame that their best option to earn a living is to watch rich folk trash a mountain they consider sacred.

Minecraft playing as a nomad. Just watching sunsets over a mountain and sleeping in a giant mushroom.

Born in the south and moved to Philadelphia in my early twenties. It was more culture shock than some other countries I’ve been to. Folks in Philly don’t hold back. If they don’t like you they tell you, to your face. They also don’t feel the need to add all the extra and often unnecessary pleasantries to every social interaction. Honestly for a “well mannered” southern kid it was pretty liberating to get to drop all that.

Went to visit my gf in college once a few hours away. On the way back I put every penny I had into my gas tank in hopes it would be enough and it barely was. While at the gas station I mixed some ketchup packets, salt, and hot water for “tomato soup” because it was all free.

What’s insane to me is that you can point this out to them and the still side with the capitalist because “well it’s good business to find cheaper labor.” They’re so brainwashed that somehow making more money will always be the ethical and just thing to do.

And then suffer 0 consequences because our legal system is petrified of the wealthy.

I think it should be law that folks in drag are allowed to shoot nazis. Whether it’s actual members of national socialism or just anyone who gets too loose drawing swastikas.

They do and don’t DARE let anyone tell you different. They want us on the left thinking they’re done, that they have no chance. But in reality if we don’t get out and vote in a big way there will be a massive red wave instead and we’ll all be standing around wondering what happened.

Honesty the reason I never considered them is because they advertised so hard on YouTube and Podcasts that they annoyed me so I never considered them.

Jesus, felt like there was a time when halfway through any YouTube video it became “and I learned about this browsing the internet safely with Nord VPN…”

I’m a climber and while yes, the gear is very well made and over engineered climbing is still quite dangerous. That rope could be rated for 500KN but if you repel off the end of it you’re still going for a fall.

Robert Downey Jr and Rob Lowe seem to both have gone from ridiculed “problem” actors to loved favorites.

Since when do companies care about federal holidays? If you get Christmas, Thanksgiving, Memorial Day, Labor Day and July 4th off you’re amongst the lucky ones.

I’ve explained this so many times. I grew up in rural Georgia and I’ve been shout and yelled at so many times by some old boomer dude that I’m just immune to it. Would rather just avoid listening to their bullshit at all.

I still don’t really understand the difference in Lemmy and Kbin.

Not sure if this is what you’re looking for but sure, there have been times when I’m in nature and I see a view or a tree or a river or whatever and things seem so beautiful and so connected and so awe inspiring that it gives me an overwhelming sense that there is more to all this than I’ll ever understand or comprehend.
