  Thanks, I’m too scatterbrained to have put it in those words, but yeah, thats totally what I was getting at. Thanks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has Fast Food Gotten Worse, or Am I Just Getting Old?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m feeling nitpicky in general so I apologize in advance.

  Prices have gone up, not costs. The increase in overhead for these places hasn’t gone towards maintaining the same product quality, much less improving it, nor has it gone towards the pay of workers, and its not really even the real estate.

  The bigger price listed is almost entirely because shareholders want more before they keel over finally fucking die

  Automatically applied coupons, and deals that don’t even require prime could potentially do this without setting the "base price. Unnsire if thats the case, but it would likely not be picked up third party price trackers.

  Capitalism and science are wholly incompatable.

  Science, I love ya, but can we not discover/invent our way out of this mess a bit more directly?

  Also, hands of my cow piss! Its kept me cancer-free all these years for good reason!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Butts⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Legitimately, the colon, including the part immediately after the anus, is very capable of absorption of chemicals, there are some medicines other than suppositories that are sometimes given that way if needed. And the small amount of mucous it naturally produces through normal function is also capable of dissolving solid particulates for said absorption to work.

  But(t), I don’t think there would be any means for caloric intake to happen, even if the Turkey eventually was dissolved. I could very well be wrong though, I am talking out of my very own ass somewhat!

  I mean, I myself was so fucking depressed that it was between the two, so literally anything that the Democrats would put up other than Biden I’m automatically going to be thrilled about. I could think of a few better options, actually quite the handful of better options than Harris, but you bet your sweet ass I’m still going to vote for her and support the ever living fuck out of her cuz fuck Trump.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am not promoting death or killing but are the countries where they are freely allowed to kill nazi's? Kind of like in some parts of Africa are allowed to kill poachers?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think, at least for a while, in the Philippines it was legal to kill anyone on / selling drugs. Their president at the time even paid hit squads to go find people to kill.

  Also, I know plenty of Texans who consider Nazi’s to be anyone of a more liberal mindset than them, and stand your ground laws are pretty robust there… Nevermind that the 2nd amendment was actually for keeping people like trump from ruling…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people still sculpt? Any sculptors here on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hi, I used to a lot, but lack the financial means to currently.

  I started in school, and I loved it so much I had my teacher fail me twice just so I could retake it. My retakes were a mix of TA work and whatever project I felt like doing.

  Since then, Ive made a few clay based projects, as well as dabbling in wooden sculpture. I’m currently unhoused, but I imagine it will again be a part of my life once I’m back on my feet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a way to hide posts that take you to another site?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When it comes to news, I already know that very few possible events would have facts that were notable enough to change how I feel overall about the topic/event.

  But, since I intentionally consume way less news than I used to, other than some Jon or John clips, I read my news.

  Any fact finding I end up doing it just a hodgepodge of finding what I can through search, relying on primary sources where possible obviously.

  So, when it comes to news, reddit was, and Lemmy is the place I go to be aware of events that I’d see if I watched legacy media / social media. And to just vent and maybe learn something.

  I’m a title only kind of gal these days. Anything more, and I’d end up as a headline myself in short time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you ever had a phone call interrupted by a 3rd party voice saying "this call is being recorded"?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because everyone’s is already being recorded if you’re in the US placing a phone call. Not cuz they were accidentally just happened to catch you and some other guys wiretap. They don’t bother with wiretaps except to justify what they’re already doing in front of a court.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even wealthy Americans are struggling to make ends meet⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ladies, Gentlemen and everyone in between and outside of:

  If you require/have a salary meaning you receive a paycheck you are not wealthy. The people who have100’s of millions, if not billions, do not receive a paycheck unless it’s for Pomp and Circumstance, and even at that amount who the fuck would bother.

  There is no middle class, and there never has been.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*for 1 week's worth of groceries but yea..⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is currently, but education of the current voting populace began, and began to fail, long before 2025.

  Believe me, i’m accutely aware of 2025. I’m preparing as best as my homeless trans ass can atm, in case me and my chosen peeps feel it best leave in a hurry.

  And, while it spells out lots of shitty policy for the trumpers, I very seriously doubt that the concept isn’t much more than an assembly of 1. Stating the obvious, and taking the reigns / credit for, the exploitations started by men who are long dead. 2. A group of groups/shakey collective, and their ideas on how to “take over” the government in a very “you won’t believed this loophole” sort of way.

  Is it possible they even mostly succeed? Abso-fucking-lutely, and I worry that its very very likely.

  If the left, and those hurt by their own right leaders, cannot manage to stop this, within or outside of the government… and considering how so many opportunities to do that between now and then… then we deserve it. And i’ll gtfo this place, or die trying if it comes to that.

  But, given how trump post-election, no longer holds that weighty 2nd term value to the media and politicians alike, I suspect all that trump loyalty dramatically decease before midterms.

  How sure of this are we? Cause it has a feeling of being just a theory or a tiny thing viewed through a super capitalistic lens… on its face I mean.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*for 1 week's worth of groceries but yea..⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I won’t claim its all a grand plan or conspiracy, though I do think thats totally possible.

  Its really just a time-tested quality of societial power struggles, it might very well be just a shitty coincidence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*for 1 week's worth of groceries but yea..⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Racism takes root out of people’s fear, and that fear is genuine, although likely obscurred.

  Fear that can lead to racism can just simply be a genuine “other race will hurt me” But I’d argue thats only true for the people starting out with the lowest of the low in mental capacity.

  More often though, the fear that leads to racist values and occasionally genuine fear of another race is a fear of death.

  All it takes is for someone a person holds in high enough reguard convincing them that death might be coming sooner because of “the others”.

  And death in the broadest sense of not just a loss of life, but also losing ones way of life. From there, you can point out whatever “others” you’d like, and the bigger the group you can simply define, the more efficient it is.

  I’d include bigotry, sexism, even greed boil down to that too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*for 1 week's worth of groceries but yea..⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s the kicker. Cause I firmly believe that, with more education (not indoctrination) by itself, conservativism would be made up entirely of the lowest 10% of intelligence, and those in the upper 0.5% of wealth (well, those who aren’t already included from the former).

  Cause no way in hell do this many regular average people care that greatly about the latest week’s GOP bullshit. Not a chance. Its fear that motivates them to seek a solution, but lack of education that makes it so effective at falling for.

  We gotta live with them, so we better figure out how to teach adults who don’t have to be in school for years. Or learn how to live with needing to kill or exile them.
