- Comment on YSK that if U.S. housing and U.S population projections hold, the Electoral College will shift further away from Democrats after the 2030 census. 13 hours ago:
Yes, I’m from the great state of 3.
- Comment on Why do narcissists have such fragile egos? 13 hours ago:
Because narcissism is, at the core, intolerance of anything but the self.
- Comment on What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's? 1 day ago:
Someone in their thirties shouldn’t be dating an undergrad or retiree. Anything in between is probably fine.
- Comment on Should you look for a relationship if it feels like a compromise? 1 day ago:
any relationship is, at its core, an agreement.
This is true.
An agreement between two people to spend their time, affection and dedication solely to each other.
This doesn’t have to be. You can agree to something different. Lots of people do. Just be honest about what you want.
- Comment on What can I use to create a poll where users can add their own choices? 1 week ago:
PHP and a SQL database
- Comment on Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong? 1 week ago:
It’s pretty bullshit. Just raise the prices. We, the waitstaff, all hate it too, and will gladly tell our managers to remove it if you ask us.
- Comment on Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong? 1 week ago:
Not wrong, but it’s okay to tip the bartender 20% as well.

Descartes
- Comment on If your happiness is derived from your enjoyment of a false (i.e. fictional) stories, is that truely happiness, or is that technically a delusion? 1 week ago:
Yes, happiness generated by relaxing, by engaging the imagination, by solving puzzles that don’t apply to real life, and by empathizing with fictional characters is still happiness. But being happy isn’t the same as being healthy, and you need more than media for that.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
both, one of each
- Comment on Why is blue and pink traditionally associated with men and women? 1 week ago:
It’s associated with urine, and a baby in yellow just looks like a baby that’s pissed itself.
- Comment on Can you get shadowbanned on Lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
The only post I see is this one. More likely a federation issue than a shadowban.
- Comment on Pluralistic: What the fediverse (does/n’t) solve 2 weeks ago:
The corporate person is a selfish narcissist, a paperclip-maximizing artificial lifeform forever questing after its own advantage. It is an abuser. Like all abusers, it is keenly attuned to any social dynamic that it can use to manipulate its victims, and so social media is highly prized by these immortal colony-organisms.
YES.
Didn’t realize I was reading Doctorow until the end, but amazing essay, thanks OP for sharing.
- Comment on YSK: US Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem publically bragged about killing her puppy 2 weeks ago:
Why focus on her cruelty to animals and not all the horrible things she’s done to people?
- Comment on YSK The World’s Most Common Passwords 3 weeks ago:
They didn’t pull this data from their own users, but rather from six public leaks.
- Comment on "Conservatives" what are you really? 3 weeks ago:
Yes, I wait tables, have done for over a decade now. I used to teach computer science, but frankly this pays better and gives me more time with the kids.
- Comment on "Conservatives" what are you really? 3 weeks ago:
I’m a dad, I’m a waitress, and I’m really tired of being lumped in with the reactionary regressives ruining the US right now.
- Comment on Why do people like the Punisher comics? 3 weeks ago:
They’re pretty niche, aren’t they?

Cassette Beasts
River City Girls
- Comment on What is the magic diet for no-wipe poops? 3 weeks ago:
I mean, I do season my food, and I have a definite sugar problem. No dairy, I’m intolerant. Probably the sugar, then.
- Comment on What is the magic diet for no-wipe poops? 3 weeks ago:
You might just be allergic to jalapeños, my cousin.
- Comment on What is the magic diet for no-wipe poops? 3 weeks ago:
Why no spicy food?
- Comment on What is the magic diet for no-wipe poops? 3 weeks ago:
I drink hella water and eat nothing but greens, beans, and whole grains… stilly sticky as, well, shit. So there’s clearly other factors at play.
- Comment on Why isn't Mbin more popular? 3 weeks ago:
Interstellar is very bad, that’s not a selling point.
- Comment on Soup of Theseus 3 weeks ago:
Because that’s the secret to a truly great gravy.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Not too young. If you change your mind about wanting kids, adopt. But you probably won’t change your mind.
- Comment on Why is Fediverse moderation, even more Draconian than Reddit? 4 weeks ago:
This is not like “fag” in the UK meaning cigarette, a word evolving into two separate meanings only one of which is a slur.
You describe in your own comments that the word is considered a swearword, and that older generations still consider it that way. If I’ve misunderstood this so far, please correct me. That in mind, I don’t feel particularly out of line venturing that it’s still used to refer crudely to a woman’s vagina. Correct so far? And it’s also still used as an insult, albeit often a friendly one? Again, correct me if I’m wrong.
- Comment on Why is Fediverse moderation, even more Draconian than Reddit? 4 weeks ago:
Uh huh. “I’m used to it and I don’t want to change” is such a tired excuse.
- Comment on What do you think is the largest number a human can actually grasp / truly comprehend? 4 weeks ago:
infinity is both capable of being conceptualized and larger than any other number, so there’s my answer
