• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who say water doesn't help after eating piment are just wrong⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I love spicy food. Water doesn’t do jack shit. Like the other comment said, all it does is push the capsasin further down. You need fatty things to grab the capsasin, or mild things like bread work ok sometimes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't states in the US come up with their own health insurance program? So people can pay into it prolly less then what they pay now and the state put the money in a bank and use the interest for⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  From what I’ve seen, it’s actually pretty nice when held to US standards (but then again, anything that isn’t privatized health insurance is better by default)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Many (most?l tools I use and games I play aren’t natively compatible

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨are terfs actual feminists or do most transphobic women just call themselves that?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And North Korea is a democracy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨are terfs actual feminists or do most transphobic women just call themselves that?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Iirc the term was started by TERFs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨are terfs actual feminists or do most transphobic women just call themselves that?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Another name for TERF is Feminism-Appropriating Radical Transphobe, or FART

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any hope for Ukraine to survive as an independent state now that trump is desperately wishing for a peace treaty with Russia, even bypassing Ukraine?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What happens when the US decides to arm Russia instead?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Of the infinitesimally small percentage who might be, (a) it has absolutely nothing to do with them being trans and (b) I wager they’d be less likely to act on it than cis pedos since being trans alone already puts you at a significantly higher risk of violence just by existing. Not to defend pedos in any way- we want absolutely nothing to do with them

  Use your brain

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Transphobes aren’t using logic. They try to brand us as pedophiles to try to get rational people on their side and to normalize hate, but it’s a distraction. We’re obviously not pedos.

  It also serves dual purpose because most transphobes look up to politicians who are literal pedos

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you consider me a “dry texter”?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you want a conversation to continue, you need to ask questions or provide some sort of continuation. Otherwise this reads one sided.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you express romantic interest in someone?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I (f, gay) actually struggle with this despite being in a 4+ year committed relationship

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's impossible to defend any amount of alcohol consumption without sounding like an alcoholic.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My uptake definitely increased significantly in early November 2024

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do snakes prefer to drink warm or cool water?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My pet snake likes to take a nice long after she eats. She also likes to take massive shits in her water.

  Obviously not cold water, usually room temp. My hunch is she prefers slightly warm, but too warm makes her freak out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We could be going towards Star Trek like earth, but instead we're going for Star Wars like democracies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re on the Borderlands timeline. Yellowstone about to become Pandora in a few dozen years

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We could be going towards Star Trek like earth, but instead we're going for Star Wars like democracies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally been (re)watching Clone Wars with my partner, and it’s scary how analogous the whole thing is to the US

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would happen if USA invades Canada?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This whole administration is one major constitutional crisis

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨if you wear pantyhose, doesn't it hurt your belly? where do I buy low rise pantyhose?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t had issues with it hurting and wear it quite a bit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you eat soap for acid reflux?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just take a tums dude

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I’m mostly attracted to men, is it «wrong» to consider myself pan?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most labels are very loose, and they help define some people define their own identity and find others who feel similarly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨people who drink, how long do your hangovers last?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get hangovers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there silly license requirements?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This funds public cleaning of dog poop and free dog poop bags.

  NYC technically requires a dog license, and I can guarantee you it provides neither of these things. The streets are absolutely covered in dog shit because of irresponsible dog owners. A lot of the city doesn’t have garbage cans either, or if it does, they’re never emptied.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is OCR for handwritten content still that bad?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude I can barely read my own handwriting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tree Shredder > Guillotine⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tree shredders are also better for composting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Similar for me but with ADHD. I never studied, could barely pay attention in class unless I was reading comics or something, and consistently got high grades. In one of the physics classes I got a 99 on the midterm and 100 on the final.

  10 years later, I struggle to read through a design doc. Academia and real world are very different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If me and a bunch of my lemmy friends got on a yacht. Went into international waters what could we get away with legally and what would still be illegal?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Asking for a Lemmy friend?

  Koch brothers…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Demanding a pronoun is like demanding a burkas.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  People never seem to have problems with changing pronouns when it’s for someone’s pet

  “Cute dog what’s his name”

  “Oh she’s Luna”

  “I love her!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do people (as in, IRL) actually think of the [alleged] perpetrator involved in the NYC shooting?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  NYC. Everyone talks about it with a wink and a smile, from coworkers to friends and random bodega people. The only people who are opposed to it are my company’s rich directors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll take that trade

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Murderer? What murderer? The CEO tripped while carrying a gun and accidentally shot himself twice in the back 🤫
