I fucking love cars.
I also want to be able to not be FORCED to drive one day in day out. I want a robust public transport network, a robust electric car network and a reasonable ownership proposal for limited ICE engines in enthusast cars.
- Comment on we need more users 1 week ago:
I posted in an ADHD community about how I’m fed up with managing my symptoms and I think I finally need to talk to a professional. Someone tried to blame my symptoms on capitalism.
As someone who simply left Reddit because they took away RIF and only stays here because I’m stubborn, Lemmy is the left wing version of Truth Social. A great deal of the users here are the absolute embodiment of the people from Sanfrancisco in South Park huffing each others farts about how progressive they are.
Like, I get it and I do agree in principle on most things with Lemmy which is the only reason I dont leave, but make no mistake THE FEDIVERSE IS AN ECHO CHAMBER.

Most of my 20s were spent being actively self destructive and I made it too.

I absolutely guarantee you he told that story to his friends with a huge smile.
- Comment on I can taste sounds 1 week ago:
People at work think I love energy drinks. No, I LOVE coffee, but if its not good enough to sit there and actually enjoy my coffee I dont want it, Ill take the can of “YOU ARE NOW WIDE THE FUCK AWAKE” if I cant have good coffee.

The Shite Stripe would be a great name for one of those guys in the one man band contraption trying to play covers of White Stripes songs.
- Comment on Do people actually believe those "gurus" on the internet that supposedly "give advice"? These seems very sussy and feel scam-adjacent, isn't it? 1 week ago:
Dr Mike from RP?

I love how Wheeler Walker Jr could have played it straight, he is a genuinely tallented musician. But nah… Suckin Dick and Kickin Ass.

One of the fitness people I follow has two apps and he regularly tells his viewers “You dont NEED my apps to get great results, you dont NEED to watch my videos either. I just think they both help. Now just subscribing as a member is just money for me so you should definitely do that”
Which is a level of influencer honesty I can definitely get behind.
- Comment on Mom with the real questions 2 weeks ago:
A friend of mine lost his 4 generations old family home in some bushfires about 10 years ago. He will never admit it to his extended family but he says it was a blessing.
His house was full of shit that as nice as it was and the sentimental value of the huge dining table that great grandad built with the tree that got brought down in the storm in the top paddock in 32 was real. He felt like he couldnt change anything, couldnt sell anything and was stuck living in his grandparents house.
- Comment on Is there a real, actually working way to earn money online without having a job? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah thats what I meant about “within their niche” They try and buy the shit themselves for their hobby and have a storefront and only rep for products they reasonably stand behind.
Doing the “to the masses” type products dropshipping is usually a losing game because theres always someone more unscrupulous who will do more underhanded shit to be 10c per item cheaper.
- Comment on Is there a real, actually working way to earn money online without having a job? 4 weeks ago:
I know people who have had good success with dropshipping but only within their hobby/interests niche. They freely admit that “This is the cheap chinese one but it gets the job done.” And word gets around that they are trustworthy and reliable.
- Comment on Funny. Now I have to try it for me 4 weeks ago:
Can I take it for a spin before we talk about if I want it or not?

Yeah ok mate. Have fun.
- Comment on it is legal to keep a kangaroo as a pet in oklahoma 4 weeks ago:
I’m Australian, Ive literally encountered them domesticated and in the wild hundreds of times in my life.
But if an American has seen a video I must be wrong.

They are essentially deer who get about on their back legs behavior wise.
- Comment on 'Huge respect to the folks at Obsidian': Todd Howard invited Obsidian devs onto Fallout season 2's set so they could see New Vegas in the flesh 1 month ago:
Tactics was great. I wish there were sequels to it.
- Comment on Have you noticed the new way of promoting horrible food by telling you it has lots of protein 1 month ago:
PDCAAS is essential knowledge for anyone trying to dial in a quality diet. Especially if aiming to build muscle or strength.
- Comment on steam vs gog, which game store to buy from? 1 month ago:
Whichever is cheaper.
- Comment on Is there an optimal home/apartment size that most people would be happy with? 1 month ago:
I would say you’re pretty much on the money only in the region of 1000sq for a single person being “optimal” once you take into account storage spaces, bathrooms, balconies, and so on. A kitchen for one and a bathroom is likely the same size as for a couple. A couple doesnt need a noticable amount more room than one person. Add kids and immediately double it… they have a lot of stuff.
- Comment on YSK that americans can now deduce private jet expenses from their taxes 1 month ago:
In most countries if you can make a convincing argument about why you thought it would be allowed and can argue it with a straight face they arent interested in nailing you over it because it isnt worth their time.
I asked my accountant “Hey, when I take sick leave at work and I have to get a doctors certificate to get paid for those days, does that make the doctors visit a work expense?”
He said “Thats a legitimate enough argument that if you want me to I’ll put them on your return. Dont know if it would pass an audit but the reasoning is solid”
- Comment on Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it’s costing the economy 1 month ago:
I work outdoors in all weathers, in and out of vehicles and answering calls all day. 12 months is a good lifespan for one of my phones.
That being said I buy the cheapest phone samsung make every time. I can buy 10 of them for the price of a flagship S series.
- Comment on Pot crashing out the kettle 1 month ago:
Skibidi Toilet is also objectively fucking amazing.
If you dont look at it as “Stupid stuff on the internet” and instead reframe it as “Indie Scifi movie made by 1 person on a home pc using free tools” its a hell of an accomplishment. I’ve watched big budget movies from established studios that got less of an emotional response out of me.
- Comment on Where u at? 1 month ago:
The answer is simpler than that. Musicians have been using excel for songwriting for ages.
You use the cells as timing marks and you have different lines for instrument notes, overlapping lyrics, etc.
- Comment on How has there not yet been a leak of the Epstein files? Surely there is someone with access to them that could have been subject to worldwide pressure to let something out. 1 month ago:
The only defence I can think of for not releasing them is that they are written in code that could destroy people for doing nothing other than having met him and there is no reference key.
E.g Mr X, a1 4d b2
Mr Y, a1 3f b2
A1 means “Straight and unmarried” but 4d means “Totally a Pedo” and 3f means “Will probably call the police if you even hint at it” and b2 is “Drinks heavily, doesnt do drugs”
Now thats a heavy handed example but look at all the conjecture about who “Bubba” is… Now imagine the conspiracy theorists if thats what the lists look like. That all being said even if they dont make them public the fact that they have these files and theres been no arrests is fucking shameful.
- Comment on Just work a little harder 2 months ago:
Americans who have never left America dont realise that dirt fucking poor looks largely the same around the world. The fact that we have socialised medicine doesnt turn not having the money for groceries into a utopia.
- Comment on How do you beat post-work floppiness? 2 months ago:
Yeah, I’m doomed if my ass hits couch. I need to maintain some form of momentum.
- Comment on Bank Workers, Rejoice! 2 months ago:
In Australia the Average mortgage loan term is over 30 years but the average duration before its paid out or refinanced is only 8 years. Id be more worried about the terms and conditions surrounding early payout and refinancing than the theoretical maximum term of the loan on paper because if they want to be truly predatory thats where it will be hiding.

Theres a reason dads make hobbies out of their yard, grilling and DIY.I have to do this shit anyway, it can either be what stops me from doing what I want or I can find the happiness and satisfaction in it.
My relaxation time might be ten minutes having a coffee in the back yard with the garden and lawn looking immaculate but it would have been 2 hours work to get it to “done” but 3 to get it to “perfect” because ultimately what was I gonna do with that hour? Watch some Youtube videos I only half give a fuck about or play a video game I’m mediocre at. Once you figure out you can also run a smoker while you do those chores at the end of the day everyone gets ribs.

I wonder if any other candidates for office will run on this as a platform.
