- Comment on Big Brother Is Watching Your Online Criticism of ICE Crackdowns 4 days ago:
Sup, ICE. You’ve done such a good job emulating your rolemodel from the 1930s/40s with the mustache, I think you’ve all earned a fast-track in that career!! Just skip right to the end and go ahead and feed yourself that bullet! Remember not to aim perpendicular to your throat - that’ll just punch a potentially nonfatal hole: instead aim it up toward your brain!
You are a traitor not just to your country, but to all +of humanity: your legacy will only ever be that of a villainous cautionary tale.
Best of luck with the go kill yourself! 💖

- Comment on Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users 1 week ago:
Depends on what we mean by smart. Lemmy seems to especially attract the IT crowd, which in itself represents a huge swathe of specialty knowledge… which I can’t claim to be part of, but hey, medic checking in! But with reddit’s variety of topics to include… I mean, pretty much everything, since that website is massive: I don’t think they have any kind of knowledge deficit in a general sense.
Where Lemmy really shines is in stamping out the bigotry, not just in policy but from a direct community response: drop a post with some racism or sexism or w/e and you’ll be swarmed by posts telling you to fuck off and don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out. And I love it! :D
So, smarter? Fuck if I know. Significantly less evil? Fuck yeah!
- Comment on Best vertical games on Android? 1 week ago:
The different types of Gameboys and most of their games emulate really well on a smart phone. I prefer playing them in landscape orientation for the larger display, but portrait mode gives a more accurate recreation with the screen on top and buttons on bottom.
I’m out of touch with what the latest best options are for emulators and where to source your ROMs, but if you ask around in communities focusing on things like piracy, they’ll point you in the right direction.

Potluck style is the way to go. In addition to what the other posters have mentioned, you get better food that way too: people cook the dish they have the best recipe for. People who are shit cooks can host or clean or w/e.
Get the best everyone has to offer.

Yea but I can do that without a robot.

Right? Even if that’s a really suboptimal use of one of those, that’d be a great way to show them off if nothing else.
If I was in the market for one of those things (which… hell no!) and I entered an outlet for them and the first thing I see is a clean floor with one of the little fuckers buzzing around? Fuckin sold. (except hell no)

The cochlea and semicircular canals are absolutely wild. It’s all just squirting fluid over a patch of tiny grass, and boom, that’s your sense of hearing and balance. One of the coolest bits of anatomy we’ve got.
- Comment on UK's rival to the Tim Tam can no longer be called chocolate 5 weeks ago:
I live in the USA now, and you can buy Tim Tams here, but Trader Joe’s and Aldi both have store brand imitation Tim Tams too.
Fellow murican here - was not aware of either of those. Will be on the look out!! …even if they are subpar.
Coworker got me addicted to Tim Tams ages ago, and they’re a pain in the ass to find here.
- Comment on YSK tricks for one of the cheapest meals: beans and rice 1 month ago:
Fortified short grain white rice… hit up Costco or Sam’s, or your local Asian market, and you can score a 20 lb bag for like $15 which comes out to literally a few cents per meal. (well… pre-tariffs at least… nowadays idk)
From there, add beans, or eggs, or chicken broth, or literally almost anything else: shit off the clearance wrack, from the food pantry, w/e. If it’s a meat or veggie, it’ll go with rice. In the case of the pantry, if you’re not actually sure what it is, it’ll still probably go with rice. Got a bag of spicy cheetos you forgot to close and now it’s all stale? Don’t throw that shit away, smash it up and throw it in with your next batch of rice - now it’s spicy! (I’ve done it - texture’s a little weird, but otherwise came out better than expected). Rice is ridiculously versatile.
Disregard the hate for white rice being nutritionless junkfood - it is, but when money’s that tight, you don’t give a fuck. The fortified rice mitigates that a bit, and in my experience is usually cheaper. It’s a starting point: add what you can to make it less shit; and even if it’s a meal of just straight rice, that’s still better than an empty stomach.
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 1 month ago:
Tech-idiot, here, but Linux-curious and running Windows 10 with an ardent refusal to change it to 11.
I know there are a ton of different versions of Linux, ‘Ubuntu’ and such, but I don’t know jack about any of them… which would you recommend that’s best suited to someone who’s only ever used Windows? Looking for the most idiot-proof option. Gaming and office style work are primary use.
Emphasis on the idiot proof. I am really anxious about switching from fear of jacking up my computer, but am so sick of Window’s bullshit… probably as good a time to dive in now than any point going forward.
- Comment on What are you ladies doing tonight 1 month ago:
What did it for me was the bugs. Those little fruit-fly fuckers… they love sugar, and those taps are a concentrated source. Until someone turns it on, and they get blasted off the tube and stuck onto the sticky inside surface of the cap, where they die and continue to get blasted with concentrate, so there’s this membrane of soda residue, dead fruit flies, and mold.
…infact the taste you’re referencing might legit be rotting bugs if it has a kind of rancid protein flavor.
I wonder how many of those fruit flies get blasted straight into people’s drink vs onto the edge of the cap, where they’re just sucked up through a straw and drank by a customer who’s none the wiser.
Nom nom.

- Comment on What are you ladies doing tonight 1 month ago:
Worked at a fast food place ages ago, and I remember cleaning the caps of each fountain of the top image: they were pretty horrific. Another poster mentioned mold… they’re not exaggerating. They were probably the second-nastiest surface in the restaurant, second only to the floor of the bathrooms.
Now, I’m under no illusion that the Cloa-Cola dispenser is actually sanitary, but it’s gotta be better than the other model.

- Comment on I always wondered why hotel rooms had bibles 1 month ago:
I see religious shit randomly littering the hospital I work at. People put fliers in waiting areas or on window sills. Couple whole-ass bibles. Lately it’s been the little plastic jesus emoji looking toys.
I put all of them in the trash.
We have a fucking chaplain, if our patients want to see that shit they can talk to him. Hitting people with religious nonsense when they’re at their lowest is predatory and should be illegal.
