  My first slept like this a lot. Lots of folks like you stopped and commented to tell me that it looked dangerous. Thanks for your concern but it’s just the way the baby cookie crumbles, sometimes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's impossible to defend any amount of alcohol consumption without sounding like an alcoholic.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe I’m just terminally online, but I’ve seen lots of people boast that they’ve “never gotten intoxicated” and view this as some sort of moral boon. It just reads as fear to me. Not that I’d force them to get high, but don’t knock it if ya haven’t tried it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are mood problems a “turn off” for people even when they’re hard to manage?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The anger I could work around, but saying “I can’t control it” shows a lack of introspection that would be an instant giant red flag to run away, fast and far. Good luck, friend. We all deserve love.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's impossible to defend any amount of alcohol consumption without sounding like an alcoholic.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes the point of alcohol is just to get a little bit drunk.

  Similarly, asking anyone to defend their position on why sobriety is superior will eventually have them sound like they are insecure and judgemental.

  Webfishing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t necessarily equate having a good memory or good intuition to intellect / being smart.

  For certain subjects, I opted not to study and did well like OP is asking about. Studying would have helped my grades further. I just simply couldn’t be bothered and I have no regrets with how I chose to spend my time.

  In university, I had low emotional intelligence, so maybe that was a tradeoff?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We met at a bar⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Used to be you could make a Lemmy comment explaining how something doesn’t meet your values without some guy going 'round the thread saying, “kids these days, all so sensitive! Whatever happened to not being offended!” When did this happen? I swear it was recently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The news article is a poor summary of a YouTube video. If you just care to see the door being opened, it’s around 5:13 youtu.be/EmqFoojMeD8 but the video itself is more interesting than that.

  Idea: script that connects and disconnects from a VPN over and over at set intervals to send “fuck you” in Morse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  one always thinks of a plurality of people

  Speak for yourself! I don’t immediately think plural when “they” is used.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is HTTPS a scam?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem with TSA is that it reduces our privacy and dignity in exchange for security (that security may be theatre). HTTPS is different because it increases privacy which allows us to keep more dignity (security that is not theatre.)

  TSA is like needing to strip so that your clothes don’t get wet while going out in the rain, while HTTPS is like wearing a raincoat so your clothes don’t get wet while going out in the rain.

  Horrible headline.

  I started my engineering program at University not knowing what engineering was.

  Thank goodness for that orientation session.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RIP Brenda⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Where’s the source that this is AI? It’s very clever which makes me think it’s human, e.g. collected dust.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prehistoric shitposting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Very rarely are things lethal like that. Poison edibles tend to taste awful, and if you start with a small amount you will learn whether it makes you sick.

  Now mushrooms on the other hand? No idea how they figured it out.

  WTF is “fapper”?!

  How does everyone else seem to know what it is?

  A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.

  In my city, we have strict parking designated zones and you have to take a photo. If it’s left on the sidewalk or road, it won’t let you end the trip, implies it will fine you, plus they’ll send someone to move it.
