McCarthyism, Southern Strategy, three letter agencies spending decades actively targeting/murdering activists; yeah it’s been rough.
- Comment on Nice try 2 days ago:
I loved specific fruit as a kid. Bananas, grapes, and watermelon? Hell yeah. Apples and honeydew? Death glare for suggesting it.
I and my sibling also got fiendish for salad and fresh vegetables but hated frozen.
I’d wager that just like with adults, every kid is different.

I’m going to hold onto the spark of your optimism until I can light my own; your perspective does help and I hadn’t considered it. Thank you /gen /pos

One can only hope, but knowing how fucking stupid my right-wing, sycophantic, fellow countrymen are I doubt much will change.
Pretty sure everyone who voted against him already hates him though.

- Comment on Zionists media owners speak out 3 weeks ago:
If the current Israeli government wanted people to believe what they say instead of getting their jollies via military occupation and genocide they’d have ramped up humanitarian aid to Palestinians and taken every measure possible to protect them instead of, well, gestures broadly.
- Comment on What someone's doing to X right now 4 weeks ago:
If it’s any perverse consolation people believed those stupid fucking conspiracies long before the internet shoved their idiocy in our faces.
I grew up in a household with those conspiracies, including but not limited to Illuminati, wrist chips, and other flavors of end-of-times insanity. Grown adults spewing that straight faced made me lose my trust in them.
I also grew up playing the game and understood it was fully fabrication, but also a commentary just like every other science fiction work.
Idiots are not new, just louder now.

“Sifting through resumés all day is like a horrible experience and it’s not very reliable.”
Ah yes, and applying for jobs is just so easy and not at all disproportionately more degrading than hiring. /s
- Comment on Solar noon is the only real noon 4 weeks ago:
Per the Wikipedia article:
It is a common myth in the United States that DST was first implemented for the benefit of farmers.[38][39][40] In reality, farmers have been one of the strongest lobbying groups against DST since it was first implemented.[38][39][40] The factors that influence farming schedules, such as morning dew and dairy cattle’s readiness to be milked, are ultimately dictated by the sun, so the clock change introduces unnecessary challenges.[38][40][41]
TL:DR for the rest of the history and rationale: Most of this was rich people wanting more time for their personal hobbies, other people’s sleep and health be damned.

- Comment on Lemmy’s essential 25 PS1 games 1 month ago:
Hear me out:
Monsters, Inc. Scream Team.
For a PS1 game it was ahead of its time. Fleshed out 3D levels that are actually navigable, decent camera angles, solid platforming + puzzles, and level revisiting that does not feel excessively repetitive. The difficulty is also not a god-awful sudden cliff like some PS1/2 games of the era. It’s one of the few, maybe the only PS1 game I’ve played multiple times through.
As a plus the soundtrack is banger.

- Comment on When the movie actually repeats almost the same line within like 5 seconds seriously what the fuck I never noticed this [Day 84] 1 month ago:
OP is making daily memes from each line in the movie “The Room.”
Apparently this line has been repeated enough times that it’s causing frustration.
- Comment on US could cut Ukraine's access to Starlink internet services over minerals, say sources. 1 month ago:
As someone who didn’t vote for the Cheeto Nazi, thank you for the nuance.
That said, comment OP and anyone reading this - please boycott and sanction the US! Starving the billionaire leeches and smacking government into pretending they have an iota of decorum or sense is necessary, and any outside influence on that is helpful.
- Comment on The US Is Considering a TP-Link Router Ban—Should You Worry? 1 month ago:
In a fucked up way I lol’d at this. If I put on my tinfoil hat I’d say the USA is encouraging China to “spy” on us so they have to absorb the brainrot. Poor bastards

- Comment on Audiologists raise concern over headphone use in young people 1 month ago:
Yeah those first couple paragraphs were just “ADHD/autistic woman behaves like an ADHD/autistic woman. Time to blame her for using accommodation equipment!” (Not actually Dx’ing her, but I recognize a lot of my own patterns here).
Like for fuck’s sake let us have our small bits of sanity. Tuning out the constant hell that is everyday life is not a sin.
