  Ad homenim attacks just make you look more wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't we have a static vintage web?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, this is all true. But these web sites which mostly work fine and are fine with small audiences already exist - and yet OP is here, on Lemmy. Apparently the demand actually doesn’t exist - ie, OP is choosing not to visit these sites because they find them less enticing than sites with js.

  Guy who wants to offset the costs of his diy fursuit forums by hosting banner ads in the sidebar.

  Uuuuuuuuuhhh…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't we have a static vintage web?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, the alternative is that all those people who want a way to offset server costs don’t find a way to do so, and therefore pack up and go home. And then we don’t get those websites.

  Get out of here with your sensible economic logic. The answer is obviously because CEOs and shareholders are catagorically evil, and make all their descisions with the sole intent of making my life miserable.

  You arent the first to note the relation between a good democracy and self sufficiency. In Jefferson’s ideal America, everyone would be a self-sufficient subsistance farmer, thus allowing each to freely speak his mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has anyone else experienced these psychological changes after eating meat?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hi, YES!

  Okay, so like half your post is pure lunacy, but low carb dieting is known to commonly cause hypomania in many people. This is often one of the desired effects of the diet, which often simply manifests as feeling more energetic and optimistic. It sounds like you might be experiencing this effect to an extreme.

  I recommend that you (1) immediately come to terms with the fact that you are not in your right mind and (2) eat some carbs and see if you feel more normal. Then work with a mental health professional if you want to continue experimenting with low carb diet strategies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨whatever happened to in-store coffee grinders?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Chiming in to say that I still see them fairly frequently. But also, as others noted, most people who want fresh ground coffee can just do it at home now.

  Also, I imagine that the grinders were only ever really introduced to try to sell customers on more expensive whole-bean coffee that had a higher margin than folgers. But now every independent coffee shop sells beans in-store and you can choose from 10 million options online. So its not really drawing in new customers there either.

  I imagine the stores keep the grinders because they’d be a hassle to remove, but then remove them when they break, since they aren’t worth it to fix.

  Sometimes the best answer to a question is questioning the premise.

  Have you tried drinking water with your dinner instead?

  Honestly, dude, fuck what degree you get. Spend all your time in school learning how to talk to people. That’s the most valuable skill in your life that you are missing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How long can someone physically walk for?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  and the hard-core ones will just piss themselves anyway.

  If you’re a guy, you can walk and piss at the same time. Just walk sideways and whip your dick out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It can be both. We can say the DNC was dumb for not choosing a better candidate or platform, and also say voters were dumb for not voting for Kamala.

  Holy shit, doomer takes like this are so cringy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are in the US, and a karen threatens to call ICE on you, what's the best course of action?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally just walk away. Like, this isn’t hard or complicated. If someone is threatening you, you walk away. If they are trying to get physical, you push past them and run.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would recommend considering that you are currently going through a mental breakdown, just one that is different from others you have experienced.

  I also suggest focusing on making friends, rather than getting caught up in global conspiracies. Maybe they’re happening, maybe not, who knows? But either way, what are you, personally going to do about it? Post on Lemmy? Odds are, you can’t do anything about it, so you might as well just make friends and be happy. And if you are gonna do something about it - overthrow the evil shadow regime or whatever - then you will need friends to do it. So go make friends!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do all American stores have greeters?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It was a thing when I was a kid. They would hire an elderly or mentally handicapped person to stand at the entrance and say hi to everyone. They got good PR for giving a job to someone “in need”. But the real reason was that they found that simply having someone say hi to you when you walk in the door made people feel seen, and therefore, made them less likely to shoplift.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know this is a shitpost, and everybody is shitting on the kid (or, let’s be real, the stereotype of a certain type of person). But imo, the takeaway shouldnt be “look at this idiot”, but “Look at this person who does some things right but has been sucked into a cult. He’s still reachable.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this is a common justification among Trumpists that are only mostly stupid. Idea is that he might do bad things in his personal life, but because he’s an asshole who doesnt care about what polite society thinks, he’ll be able to fix the broken system.

  I assume they’ve been watching too much netflix, because this is basically Thomas Shelby’s redemption arc.

  Your sister needs to learn that kids understand what jokes are. Pepe is funny because he grossly violates everyone around him, we know it’s wrong, and we get to watch him fail.

  That’s kinda my point. People aren’t judging me based on my nationality, because they can just notice that I’m not a dick.
