You can’t call chicks ‘broads’ anymore, its not civilized. (/s)
- Comment on At least Quark had some integrity. 2 days ago:
The language culture is probably the strangest part about the military, and probably the police force as well. I know the military lingo was hard to stop using, but I couldn’t imagine going from one institutional language to the next.
- Comment on At least Quark had some integrity. 2 days ago:
Yes, we heard “that is just a soldier” as well. They just didn’t like the terms lady or woman, you had to use “female”.
- Comment on At least Quark had some integrity. 2 days ago:
Not fair to the military veterans.
They got “That’s not a woman, it’s a female soldier” drilled into them.
- Comment on Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE 4 days ago:
Zero points.
- Comment on With the current state of the news, April's fools aren't fun anymore because they can't be distinguished as easily as before 4 days ago:
Today in headlines: Everything is normal. The USA is not the laughingstock of the world. Civil war is not imminent.
Haha! April Fools … yea that kind of sucks, let me try again.
Today in headlines: Elon Musk takes a sledgehammer to a Tesla showroom while screaming “I will fucking beat you to it you filthy terrorists!” … no, see, that could happen … I quit April Fools.

Someone has never listened to No Doubt or NIN.

My 5 month old performed my wife’s knee surgery and saved us over $15,000.
- Comment on What is happening with Tesla (TSLA) stock currently? 📈 1 week ago:
I suspect a pump and dump as well. Trump did a Tesla commercial to dupe the MAGAts into buying, now they will dump their stock and let it burn.

This reeks of cover up. This kid is a werewolf for sure.
- Comment on It's a cylinder 1 week ago:
That would require some serious water pressure!
- Comment on Trump supporter Rick Fuze was arrested in CA for using a stun gun on peaceful protesters outside a Tesla dealership. The woman kicking this guy’s ass is a retired professor with 16,000 citations. 1 week ago:
Here in Murica citations are akin to martial arts belts.
Spoiler: They arent.
- Comment on It's a cylinder 1 week ago:
Try using a hairdryer to heat the plastic M&M container. Any air in the container will heat and expand, plus the hard plastic could loosen and allow the offending cylinder wiggle room to escape.

Same here. I read it as: This lady has had 16,000 traffic citations and the driving gods miss selected “kill” in the drop down list when choosing her punishment and accidentally gave her Kung fu superpowers.
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 1 week ago:
This is apparently what the US wants. My family is seriously looking into moving to a different country. We don’t want to be stuck in the new modern nazi party country.
- Comment on [Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to? 1 week ago:
It sucks that the stick is rising. Trumps asshats are actually investing.
- Comment on IRS braces for $500bn drop in revenue as taxpayers skip filings in wake of DOGE cuts 1 week ago:
Is everyone thinking they will “just do a tax fraud”?
- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 1 week ago:
Oh yes, that is an amazing idea. That or a welcome “pad” style federation that boots you out of it after 30 days. That way people don’t “zerg” one federation.

Push Lemmy out there. Help Lemmy grow. Lemmy has a few issues that need addressed;
-
The Name needs changed, you see who shows up when you search Lemmy. The easiest thing to do is switch it to “Lemme” (Sounds like “Let Me”, like just lemme post this) or Lemy.
-
Lemmy needs an app that is just as easy as Reddit to sign up for. It needs to drop on the person’s computer desktop and sign them into a default federation that auto accepts everyone. The initial signup process is confusing to people, with the website listing different federation and having to apply and wait. Some auto accept, people need to be pointed to those.

- Comment on Remember the good old days? 2 weeks ago:
No, you are wrong and need to understand why.
The ability to have that 50’s housewife was due to a single earner economy. You could be a bagboy at a supermarket and support a family of three … possibly even own your own home.
This was taken away. Perspective
- Comment on YSK: That nazis Don't Actually Believe in Free Speech 3 weeks ago:
Yes, this is absolutely true. The evidence is clear when you consider how Twitter is going and with the censorship mentality spreading to other media, like the Reddit bans.
- Comment on Fucking leeches 4 weeks ago:
Yea, this is what I was thinking. I have two houses and rent one of them. Both houses have a VA loan, but the rental of one does not even cover the mortgage for both.
That math is not mathing.
Of course I’m not charging insanely inflated rent, I just needed to move and decided to rent the old house for 2-3 years instead of selling it.
- Comment on What if we called instances providers? 4 weeks ago:
Call them States … like states within a federation.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 4 weeks ago:
That is the point I was making about Twitter, and it applies to Reddit as well. You have to stop that radicalization socially, they need their hands slapped to know that they are wrong. Twitter and Reddit dont just let MAGA go crazy, they give them a safe space to do it in. They block us normal people from telling them they are being crazy. He’ll, Reddit let’s them throw people out if they don’t have Conservative flair (like a checkmark).
The institutions are preventing proper social responses to these hateful people.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 4 weeks ago:
I understand what you are trying to say, but Twitter is far from free speech. Twitter is a mob/mind control device. It brings hatred to the forefront. The worst posts thrown right into people’s faces, then they tailor the content to focus the hatred.
One only needs to type the words “Cis Gender” in Twitter to see the censorship, the hatred, and the target all working together.That’s not free speech, it’s brainwashing. Reddit is just as bad.

The bot was probably right. That has been yelled a lot. Soylent Green is … Rich people!
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 4 weeks ago:
Yes, just the act of not producing products in countries with slave wages will make things more expensive.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 4 weeks ago:
Yes, sadly, freedom of speech includes freedom of hate speech. The platform would have to rely on its users downvoting or ridiculing the offender rather than outright bans.
- Comment on Reddit could soon punish users for upvoting violent content. 4 weeks ago:
Because when a trap kills the rats you do not punish the bait in the rat trap.
