Ok but I think making that joke using someone else’s minority status is pig behavior. But I was a teenager in the 90s when someone else thinking you’re gay could get you an ass-beating or get you fired from your job or worse (Matthew Shepard). Being an ally to lgbt folks in a lot of ways meant keeping your mouth shut way more than it meant speaking out. Maybe it’s different nowadays.

Or your cousin with the conservative parents who isn’t out and still lives at home…
For God’s sake please don’t do this.

I’m sitting at home in my tracksuit watching my Andrew Dice Clay tapes and an ad comes on but I’m so deep into a quart of Red, White, and Blue that I can’t find the fast forward button on the remote. Better post on lemmy
Call the nurse, smells like grandpa needs to be changed again.

I admire the direct approach.

- Comment on Looking to buy a cheap but best first 3d printer. Ender3 V3, CR-10 SE, or something else? 6 days ago:
I tell people if you want a printer with the most upgrade paths, pick the ender 3 stock. You can make it bigger or taller, add direct drive, magnetic beds, put a laser on it or a cutter, switch out the board for different firmware, all available on alibaba.

My ender 3 stock wasn’t my first printe and isn’t my only printer, but some days it’s my best printer.

A creality anything shouldn’t be your first printer. I own two creality printers.

Christianity is more about the beattitudes. The 10 commandments by themselves are Jewish.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 1 week ago:
This is why the Bible is kind of a drag without the new testament. God is emotionally volitile, punitive, and illogical. Jesus provides a framework for redemption, which is what people need here in this life. Reading the new testament, even without the magic and miracles and omnipresent sky-god can give people real ideas about how they should interact with others in this corporeal existence. The old testament feels like kind of a bizarre fairy tale with some historical elements.
- Comment on Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea 1 week ago:
What would be wrong with responding to the substance of the comment as opposed to projecting your feelings on the person who wrote it? Your comment makes no sense.

P. S. I am not telling you to move
If that’s not your point, I can’t figure out what it is.
you don’t know anything better.
See that sounds very much like classism. People live in rural areas for a variety of reasons. Rural living has one set of problems, urban living has a different set. One is not better than the other. If I got you wrong here, I apologize.

Free video tutorials are often three times the length they need to be because you have to watch someone umm and uhh and undo through something you’re trying to learn for the first time.
- Comment on How come NK doesn't just come out and say we are in trouble and need help? Like their lack of food and stuff? I really don't see a downside for a country admit they were wrong and need help 2 weeks ago:
A handful of ultra-rich people would lose a little bit of power and their entire social structure would collapse. That country won’t open back up without tremendous suffering, especially as long as the rich people in power stay rich and powerful by keeping things the way they are.
Similar to everywhere else.

- Comment on Always question those who are the "teachers" 2 weeks ago:
Ok, this is where we have a disconnect. Do you know how many translators, pop idols, and artists who sell there work at any kind of price there are? It’s not many. Look up how much the average author gets paid for their first book at a publishing house and you’ll see why pretty much all writers teach. You can be really good at STEM and make more than a teacher in your field, but the same isn’t true at all for arts, foreign languages, writing, phys ed… Even history and social studies.

- Comment on If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7 2 weeks ago:
When someone comes up with something like this, I transport the phrase back to the 80s where people said the exact same thing about home computers. “if a computer was something everyone wanted or needed, it wouldn’t be constantly shoved (in) your face by every product. People would just use it.” Ok great but a computer turned out to be something everyone wanted or needed which is why computers were built into everything by the turn of the 90s, famously leading to the Y2k bug.
Then I transport the phrase back to the mid 90s where people said the exact same thing about the internet. By the end of the 90s, the internet provided the backbone communications structures for telecommunications, emergency management, banking, education, and was built into every possible product. Ten years later people got smartphones and literally couldn’t put them down.

No sane person should leave something that important to the sole responsibility of someone else no matter who they are.
- Comment on Always question those who are the "teachers" 2 weeks ago:
That’s something really ignorant people say. Teaching is about managing and forming personal relationships with large, diverse groups, way more than it’s about the subject of the class. If you’ve ever had a class taught by an alternative certification monkey who won’t shut up about their 15 years of industry experience, you know what I’m talking about.
- Comment on Always question those who are the "teachers" 2 weeks ago:
Because anyone who knows how to use computers can make more money actually doing it than teaching it.

The most commonly produced, available, and used birth control method worldwide is the latex condom, used by everyone who has a penis. Try again.
