It’s been a long time since I read the book, but I remeber it being medicore late golden era. Herbert had no understanding of radiation and his characters tended to be good or evil without a lot of nuance.

Yes, but I would recommend being fucked up and in the company of others.
Don’t go there alone or you will only find sadness and anger.
- Comment on make fantasy great again! 6 days ago:
Yeah, drunk or stoned with a group of SF nerds shit talking it would be a fun party, actually.

It’s a terrible movie. Verges on so bad it’s good. Uses more dutch angles than a crooked windmill.
Book was mediocre with a Mary Sue main that had Goodboy for a last name.

Fucking Quiverfull. Eugenics bad, but I really hate those fucks.
Hell, line em up, tell them to grab ankles, and I’ll take care of it with a pair of pruning shears.

The whole Tankie thing. Just like MAGAts but on the other side. They’re authoritarian left with lots of Chinese and possibly Russian influence. Far left most of us support are on the opposite end of the authoritarian/individualistic axis from both Tankies and MAGAts.

Just wait until they start kindergarten.
Hopefully your toilet is close enough to the tub or sink so you can puke out of both ends.
Parenting is just wonderful.

Was looking up tracks in a field guide the other day and ran across this super cute rodent, The Mountain Beaver.

Whoa. I haven’t heard of Pervertube. I have specific tastes involving a dirty mattress with no sheet or at least one overflowing ashtray.

- Comment on Can deliberate noise harassment still be a crime if it's done every day from 7:30 AM till 10:30-11:30 PM? 3 weeks ago:
Well, dawg, I’ve spent most of my life living in a completely different world than most posters on Lemmy.
And yes, I hunt, fish, eat meat, drive a truck, have a beard. I also talk funny. I have castrated calves. Been backup in large deals. Dealt with thieving meth heads. Done amateur surgery.
I don’t live in my mother’s urban basement eating chicken tendies.
But yeah, that’s my white squirrel.

Yes. It’s cruel, but if you pushed him far enough, he would be committed. Op hasn’t been able to get effective help from the government/social system.
Sounds like he’s older and there are physically stronger people in OPs house so if it escalated, they can defend without much trouble.
Cancer mom beats schizophrenic neighbor. If causing the neighbor to decompensate gets her peace, so be it. This is not a difficult ethical problem, the expedient solution is just illegal.
I’ve done and will do a whole lot to take care of my loved ones. Society sure isn’t.

I’m being downvoted to hell for it, but I’ve done similar things in the past. I’m used to corrupt ineffective cops, sometimes you just have fix shit and be done with it.
IDK, it’s redneck but a quick frame up would at least end the noise.

It’s your mama with cancer really being hurt here. Ethically, that gives you options. Sucks for your neighbor, he can’t help it.
Fastest solution is to wait for him to leave the house and post a lookout. Make entry and destroy every speaker you can find. Decorate broken items with something that is a feature of his behavior such as a common phrase or food item.
When he gets home and throws a fit, call the cops on him and deny everything and act frustrated and put out. Talk about your sick mother. This may fix it, it not, at least make it much better.
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 3 weeks ago:
Holy shit! Are you really unironically defending the North Korean government? Like, are you trolling?
Woah. That’s pretty wild. If you’re not trolling, what country are you from and how would you describe yourself politically? Where do you get your news?
- Comment on This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast! 3 weeks ago:
I’ve only got 32tb in the family Raid 5 (actually 24TB since I lose a drive to parity), but my girl really loves her trash TV while she works so we’re on like 90% full.
And I’m just a podunk machinist.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 4 weeks ago:
It’s a mostly untestable premise unless somebody manages to crack into the system or find a smoking gun.
So, it’s slightly less improbable than some sort of god.
It sure is a neat idea that feels right. So, yeah religion.
I tell my girl all the time that she can have as many ponies and unicorns as she wants when we all go live in the computer someday.
- Comment on I am not a builder… but that does not seem right 4 weeks ago:
I’m on my second marriage, 10 years in this one and 13 in the first.
My relationship is easy. We don’t argue, we have the same goals, she’s my best friend, sex is a science where we know the other’s responses and are creative. We face hard things together. I could go on. It’s easy to love her.
Nothing like my first marriage, it was hell.

I do have faith that some random dude in Pakistan will figure out how to unlock a sensor using a paperclip and a 555 timer and will post it to YouTube.
If the person in the video is wearing flip flops and smoking, tends to be good info.

I think OP is talking about Short Circuit. OP also may be having a stroke, be suffering from dementia, or have snorted Benadryl.

Absolute shit stressful job, btw. Never doing that shit again. If you have a heart, that job will kill it.
- Comment on U.S. inks bill to force geo-tracking tech for high-end gaming and AI GPUs 4 weeks ago:
Whore isn’t really gendered? There are more female whores than male whores in sex work but there are more male whores in politics than female. It is an insult about submission and service with a sexual connotation.
I think you’re seeing a difference in cultural weighting of common profanity. I’m from the deep south of the US.
I’m used to cunt being considered more offensive than whore. Whore is a milder obscenity than fuck, shit, or cunt. It is similar to slut, dick, or piss.
- Comment on Bookmark 5 weeks ago:
Probably pulp where the author churns out tons of stuff. Their name is more important than the title. You see it with historical fiction, romances, Westerns.
Don’t get me wrong, love me some pulp. It’s the comfort food of literature.
