- Comment on It was a surprise for sure 3 days ago:
One time I thought our 5yo was asleep in her room for nap time.
So I decided to get frisky with my wife under the covers.
Wife starts making noise. And 5yo crawls out of the child dimension and goes, “Why are you making that noise?”
We had to pretend like she was having some pain and then she played doctor.

I’m sorry you’re right. I was silly to have thought that.

- Comment on Here I stand, at 50, wishing I could shit as well as my dogs. 5 days ago:
That’s me! Oatmeal in the mornings. Coffee.
Lots of fiber foods. Not for any reason but because that’s just what I eat.
I poop nonstop. I’m pooping right now.

All the dive bars in my area are filled with people smoking.
I think I aged out of it.
- Comment on With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes? 1 week ago:
OP, ignore a lot of these commenters. Remember that Lemmy is international, and does not reflect actual Americans who are stepping up. You’re asking the Internet, many doom scroll then bitch and then repeat and do nothing else.
Remember that Lemmy is still social media - which means it’s unprotected and anybody can read it. You’re not going to find these conversations openly. Because that’s a huge safety risk.
The community groups already exist. Maybe not in small towns, but every city has something. It won’t be called anything like “self-defense”, which is actually harmful to the core message of creating only peaceful protests.
But being involved in the non-violent aspect will help you start to get in the know. If you’re already in self defense groups (everything from martial arts to your local gun range), bring up your interest in activism.
In other words, you won’t find your answer here.
- Comment on With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes? 1 week ago:
Contrary to popular belief: Going to a protest isn’t the only way to show your dislike. Protesters are the front line.
The back line is support. First aid people. Armed citizens acting as guards. Legal observators. Saboteurs. Tech people to amplify the message. All of these are not at a protest, but assembled through online groups and community events.
You need both lines, and there’s a lot of roles out there.

- Comment on Anthem could be revived as a trad BioWare singleplayer RPG for $10 million, says former Dragon Age producer 1 week ago:
I played Anthem when I found it for $1-2 bucks.
The flying and movement was pretty slick.
It just didn’t have any game to it.
I’m surprised they just didn’t change it up to either make it work, or build a whole new game out of it like how FromSoftware reuses their own stuff over and over again.
- Comment on What a great idea 1 week ago:
I’ll do one better.
Every extra item gets to be used against the customer to harm them.
The extra item is a can of tuna? Well, we’ll beat you with the tuna. The extra item is a hammer? Well, apologies my good man, but you know the rule.

Sorry. Going to have to ask her to politely leave.
No God no kings (or queens).
- Comment on What principles you wish to see social networks (or the fediverse) adopt in their design? 2 weeks ago:
If we’re doing wishful thinking, I’d love an age and location mechanism.
Theres currently no way to do this with privacy and security in mind. Because it’s just a clusterfuck of issues.
But, again - wishful thinking. It would be cool hell to be able to actually have spaces for specific ages, or specific locations.
All the eurocentric communities forcing the end user to be from europe. Imagine a community for only 40-60yos, or a real teenager community without the creepos.
My city has a forum for each generation (millennials, gen X, etc) and the conversations and chats are lightyears better than anything else. We have RL meetups and BBQs. It’s a real community. Trolls quickly get booted and those who were assholes beg to come back after apologizing.
- Comment on My apartment building gives me free water but I pay for electricity. What if I run the faucet nonstop and rig up a hydro turbine in my bathtub to generate my power from it? 2 weeks ago:
An asshole to whom exactly? A landlord?
- Comment on Mom with the real questions 3 weeks ago:
I have one! It goes from 2 ppl to 6 people by extending. Found it while thrifting.
- Comment on Mom with the real questions 3 weeks ago:
My wife’s grandma offloaded her fancy china on us. When we brought it to Goodwill, they went “Parents or Grandparents?” And they told me this is like their tenth donation this week.
- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 3 weeks ago:
The mythbusters episode convinced me. That water flush makes everything spiral upwards, and it lands in your toothbrush.
People who don’t put the toilet seat down are unaware they’re brushing with shit particles.
- Comment on YSK to get a passport in the US, you need to have access to information about your parents and most recent ex-spouse 3 weeks ago:
I don’t recall answering any of those questions since I got my passport in the 2000s.
- Comment on Day 533 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 3 weeks ago:
Today’s game is Subnautica. After hearing the news about Krafton i was really disappointed. This was a big game to me when i was younger, and i’ve kind of been trying to figure out how to play this without budging on my morals. The answer seems kind of obvious, but it was hard to pull off for me for some reason.
I haven’t kept up with the news. What’s the issue?
- Comment on How do you feel about the removal of tokens from arcades ? 3 weeks ago:
As much as I hate tokens, I hate cards even worse.
I hated tokens because it abstracts the cost. Some places - 1 token = 1 quarter. Fair. Others, 10 tokens for $4. What the hell? (Cards do this too)
I also just hate coins in general. Too many times I put a token into a machine for it to not register. Or I have to play the eject & pray method.
There’s a lot of arcades where I live. And I only go to the ones where it charges you real money using a credit card, or is unlimited play.
- Comment on What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA? 3 weeks ago:
For clarity: The Democratic party in the US, based on their talking points, is considered right wing in much of the world. The conservative party in the US, based on their talking points, is considered far right wing in much of the world.
In the US: We have “actual” left wing politicians, who frequently are shouted down and forced to align themselves with Democrats to get any sort of movement.
The two party system works to keep those two teams going.
- Comment on How much money should one person realistically make or have? 4 weeks ago:
This is a difficult question because we don’t have an agreed upon baseline of what “living” looks like worldwide.
Some countries may say, “living a long life.” Other countries may say, “And a roof over your head.” And Other countries may say, “That and a yearly vacation.”
Also, it’s sad to say that million dollars isn’t even “dick around” money anymore. My wife’s retired grandparents retired on a million at age 70. They’re living okay, very modestly at age 90. Medicine is fucking expensive, hip surgeries, paying for physical therapy, etc. No brand new cars or fancy trips. Just coupon clipping and finding lunch deals.

- Comment on GeForce Now’s 100-hour monthly limit goes live in 2026 4 weeks ago:
Damn this isn’t that bad. I thought I gamed heavily but I’m probably doing 10-15 hours of week at most because work, life, kids.
- Comment on GeForce Now’s 100-hour monthly limit goes live in 2026 4 weeks ago:
This is where I’m confused.
You have to be both a hardcore gamer AND wealthy enough to buy the brand new AAA game that needs expensive hardware, and yet be poor enough to not be able to afford a gaming rig that can handle it.
Like, imagine buying a wagyu beef but only owning a microwave? So you rent a kitchen?
- Comment on Do Costcos usually have an ATM machine? 4 weeks ago:
I have five of them near me and yeah.
I also just searched and found out that apparently there’s Bitcoin ATMs as well? Can’t say I’ve seen them.
- Comment on Been a long time since I smoked but if I opened the door to my fireplace and tossed in a kilo of pot and just let the smoke fill up the house will everyone in my house get high? 4 weeks ago:
Well damn.
2.2 lbs (1kg) can cost roughly $1,500 - $6,000.
amsterdammarijuanaseeds.com/…/how-much-is-a-pound…
I recall seeing signs of an ounce being sold as low as $40, (making it $640 a lb) which is probably terrible quality.
If the question is: “I am trying to make everyone in my household hallucinate, whats the cheapest thing I can do?”, now we’re having fun.
