- Comment on How to effectively protest outside my House representative's office 2 days ago:
I would say document the rep’s corporate sponsors and create a large sign with all their logos.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
People do solicit donations, as on just about every public forum. I wouldn’t define it as a problem on lemmy at this point, but a rule against it except in communities where it’s encouraged wouldn’t be a terrible idea. Somebody who is interested in doing it could start a Please Help community specifically for these requests, requiring some form of verification. Seems like running it could turn into a lot of work tho.

Because let’s ignore the topic and focus on the wording.

I wonder if The Birds was the first horror story based on what would happen if ordinary things suddenly turned crazy and evil.
- Comment on Sometimes the advice "just be yourself" is bad advice. 6 days ago:
To an introvert it’s almost ALWAYS bad advice. Sitting in the corner doing something by yourself is not a winning social behavior.
- Comment on "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree" 6 days ago:
Yeah but the phrase refers to children who were raised by the parents, not the ones who got eaten by large birds and shat out in distant lands, which of course happens far more often than we’d like to think.

It’s rectangles of 2-inch solid foam insulation glued onto a plywood frame. We carved the stones with knives and smoothed the edges with the side of a soldering iron. Then we pressed the surface of a big rock all over it for texture, and painted it with mod podge to seal it. Next will paint it gray and do some dry-brushing with black, brown and rust to give the rocks some variety. The “mantle” on top is an already varnished pine board salvaged from built-in bunk beds I made for my kids back in the day.
- Comment on Microsoft Office support in Windows 10 ends in October too - what that really means 6 days ago:
To me it means letting people know that Mint is free and comes with Libre Office, also free.

OTOH my friend and I spent most of the weekend making this for his new apartment. The opening fits his little TV, so when he isn’t watching TV he plans play fire videos on it.

Reminds me of the 70s when suddenly everything was “Eco-Friendly”.

They can predict behavior, but only for spherical brains in a vacuum.

I often feel like I don’t have time for my many hobbies, then I realize I’ve just spent 3 hours on lemmy or reddit.

Yes, we love science unless it’s critical of our own behavior. Where have I seen that same attitude… oh yeah, billionaires, corporations and MAGA.

Striking results - 91% of participants improved their mental state, and typical improvement was similar to reversing 10 years of age-related decline.

The intoxicating aroma of ancient microbes you aren’t immune to.
- Comment on Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from? 1 week ago:
MAGA has always been run by nazis; the blatancy came from winning the last election.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 week ago:
Whether it’s now or later, life has to get a lot worse before the general mass of sludge will look up from phone feeds and do anything. People will have to feel a lot more pain than they’re feeling now before they do more than bitch online.
- Comment on nuked from orbit 1 week ago:
Doctor of Divinity? The bogus honorary degree given to ministers.

- Comment on Working below minimum wage to save the planet 2 weeks ago:
I fix stuff when it’s harder than buying a new one just because it’s rewarding. I guess the guy in the picture embodies that feeling but I don’t picture it that way, it’s just how I was brought up. Same reason I make meals instead of ordering doordash.
