- Comment on The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why? 1 day ago:
So like burning your bridges in English? Although I guess that’s more for people. Maybe more like pulling up the ladder behind you.

I don’t remember why, but I tagged you as “brilliant mf”. Good post. Please take them all.
- Comment on Who are the "middle class" supposed to support in the class stuggle? 4 days ago:
I think an easier interpretation than the “owners vs workers” in this day and age is, are they billionaires. If you’re not a billionaire or close to it, you should be on the side of the working class.
The billionaires that make up only 1% of the population ans own nearly half the wealth of the entire world are the problem.

There are, but are they $1.25?

It’s 2025, people. If you don’t have a bidet, you’re not doing it right.
Hell I even bought lil squirt guns for my ass so I can have a “portable” bidet.
- Comment on What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's? 1 week ago:
My sister’s ex is my mom’s age (25 year age gap). They dated when she was in her late 20s. Honestly they had a great relationship and, while he was a bit “immature” for his age (financially), he was a really awesome dude and they had lots in common. The main reason it didn’t work out was because she wanted kids, and having kids with a man in his early 50s, who aleady had like a 20 year old kid, is difficult.
I think that’s what often causes issues in big age gap relationships, they’re often at different points of family/career development.
The flip side of this is that I met my uncle’s (61) girlfriend, who is, I believe, 25 or 26 and I did get the ick because she’s younger than two of his older children and has braces that make her look a lot younger than that. Most people thought she was a friend of his youngest kids (who are 19). She’s nice though I guess. And my uncle needs therapy, but that’s not necessarily related to this.

Luckily you don’t need to have a kid to get yourself an awesome batman suit.

I don’t need more reasons to not want children, I’m already decided, but this thread is sure reaffirming.

- Comment on Why don't they have simpler names for brain disorders, where perhaps even the person suffering the disorder might be able to remember the term themself? 1 week ago:
I’m genuinely sorry for the people who suffer from that but good god that is funny.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 1 week ago:
Its gotten worse because women are no longer forced to stay in or get into shitty, unfulfilling marriages. Men before had guaranteed companionship in the sense that it was societally and financially expected for a woman to stay in a relationship and provide emotional (and physical) companionship. With women becoming more independent, they’re able to leave abusive situations or to avoid getting into them in the first place.
Therefore, if men are not socialized to maintain friendships and no one is being forced to emotionally support them anymore, then they are lonely.
- Comment on Is it realistic to hope that lemmy grows to the size of the bigger social media platforms? 1 week ago:
I’m gonna tag you as “unwilling tagee”
Also if it helps, I don’t only tag rude or racist people, I also tag people that say something I enjoy or makes me laugh so one day when I see them again I can give them a compliment.
- Comment on Is it realistic to hope that lemmy grows to the size of the bigger social media platforms? 1 week ago:
I’ve definitely seen more trolls and significantly more racist/transphobic people even in just the last few months which is worrying. Maybe it’s like Baader Meinhof effect cause I started tagging them, but it’s certainly frustrating because this site used to feel a lot more friendly.
- Comment on Just one…more..update 2 weeks ago:
I love stardew so I disagree with you, but I know the game is not for everyone and definitely know people that would agree with you so I feel the downvoting is a bit unfair for you.
But also SV rocks and you should give it another chance.

- Comment on There are definitely people learning a second language being accused of AI slop. 2 weeks ago:
As a person who learned English as a second language, I would say probably not. If anything, a human’s grammar/conjugations might be off if they’re learning a new language. A machine, as others have pointed out, would have proper grammar but might be nonsensical.

It’s Botox, I know, but what the fuck.
- 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? 2 weeks ago:
Unpopular opinion, but maybe servers (and most everyone) deserves more than minimum wage. And in not saying the consumer should be paying it, they should be paid their money’s worth by their employer.
Michigan min wage is what like $10? Who the hell can survive on that?
- Comment on When you realize your laptop hasn't been plugged in for the last 4 hours you've been working... 2 weeks ago:
Marginally related but today was having a meeting with someone who is notorious for not being plugged in. I wish I had a recording of it because she literally went “oh sh-” mid sentence and then was booted as her computer shut down. Impeccable timing.

You know, I was pro-palestine and didn’t want innocent people to die, but now that I am reminded that some of them would harm me
if i colonized their land for 70+ years and forced my way into their homes and murdered them, now I’ve changed my ways. Free, free genocide, I guess? - Comment on They will remember 3 weeks ago:

That’s like any other accessibility feature honestly. If it helps a good amount of the population and doesn’t hurt anyone else, then it’s a net positive.
