Am I being wooshed? It's impossible to get a flush with the two spades. Or the Aces.

"DEMANDS"

Allies and friends don't make demands. US can fuck right off.

Very cool. Now it just needs to drop in price.

I'm willing to wait for it to hit under $20

I have friends who are in scientific research and 100% of them from multiple institutions are affected by Trump. Every single one.

One is out of a job in early Jan. The others over the next 3 months. It's really bad.

I held onto Windows 7 even a year or two past so-called the EOL. I had a pretty powerful rig and I wasn't going to pay money to upgrade. Then I think Microsoft just gave Windows 8 for free?

I finally got on Windows 10 when I bought a premade gaming computer. Still not upgrading.

I blame all the satire.

It didn't just go over their heads, they took it as truth and ran with it.

Can't do this with a katana. Check mate atheists.

You know, I didn't pick up that he was pointing that out too. George Carlin still hitting us from the grave.

American here. Maybe I'm going through the five stages of grief and now I'm at acceptance.

Everything in your first paragraph sounds accurate and maybe something that probably needed to happen. America as the World Police is/has been a problem. There were some positives, but a lot of negatives.

The sooner America gets off the stage, the better. We don't deserve the recognition. We can't even feed our own people and yet wield tremendous influence internationally, and maybe it's a positive thing that it ends soon.

At age 17, I remember running 2 miles to school and then back home so I can save my bus money. I was also playing sports, doing some heavy lifting then repeating it over and over again.

Now I walk a few blocks and I'm like "Enough exercise for today!"

I went to a small town recently and this was it.

The small "boutique" shop absolutely has a Karen-looking gal who was selling things from Temu but with her sticker on it.

Real sad state.

Well I mean, it's usually one company making 23 bagel flavors. Look at toothpaste. There's Colgate and then 15 Colgate variants. But if we go higher, the parent company owns 2-5 toothpaste beands, and those toothpaste brands have multiple variants.

And then we go even higher, and those parent companies are actually owned by the same group of people.

I mean if we want to get real about it, do we really want that fake choice either?

I like that a lot. Don't know if it was a expensive concert but I like going to shows where the ticket price is cheap, and the musicians tell people it's a work in progress.

It's weird. I saw Wheatus perform recently and he did a bunch of songs I wasn't familiar with. Then he played his most famous song, "Teenage Dirtbag", that they made in like 2000.

The band is like grandparents age, singing a song about teenagers. And it was incredible.

I'm sure it's some psychology name to it.

Thinking through it from my perspective, it's because we put up barriers with anything new.

First thought: "Does this fit with what I know this musician for?"

Second thought: "Does this hit the vibe or energy I want?"

Third thought: "What is the hook or thing that makes it memorable?"

If any of them fail, I immediately feel disgusted. Not to say I won't change my mind.

I like this comment because you can put it under anything.

It's such a nothing comment; the only side it picks is that the commenter posting it is better than everyone else, and wants to invite argument for arguments sake.

Can't put my finger on it, but it's very "Twitter bot"-esque.

I used to believe in the whole private citizen but then seeing News really blew it up like "Obama's daughters eat provolone cheese instead of American cheese!".

I work in marketing and it's not fun anymore please take me off this ride

I want this community now

This is kind of my favorite thing on Lemmy right now.

I used to be part of forums where like one forum, the mod was a person who demanded sources with every comment. So you'd write everything like you're submitting it to a college professor.

Then another forum, the mod wants everyone to roleplay as their forest animals.

Reddit made us forget how to be weird.
