Holy fuck, he’s 80?
I guess I’m used to seeing old people who actually had to work for a living because he doesn’t look 80 to me at all. I hope he dies soon!
- Comment on Expand North! So much room up there. 2 weeks ago:
Seriously, half the fucking country lives in the Québec City - Windsor corridor and we don’t even have a high speed train there?? It’s a political issue, not a geographical one.

Nah, the point of a piercing is the end you stick in first.
- Comment on Surprise! 3 weeks ago:
Some people are definitely 100% gay, and some and definitely 100% straight, but I agree in that I think the majority of people could potentially be attracted to people of all genders.

The mullet definitely would make me think you’re queer!
- Comment on I was laughing too hard to think of a title. 5 weeks ago:
I won’t say that isn’t a valid interpretation, but I’ve always thought the joke was simply “paranoid conspiracist thinks everyone is out to get him except the guy fucking his wife”.
I think it also highlights Dale’s sweet side; despite his tendency towards conspiracy, he refuses to see the obvious when Nancy is cheating on him because he is 100% in love and trusting of her. He literally can’t imagine her betraying his trust like that. He will believe that Joseph is half-alien before doubting Nancy of wrongdoing.
- Comment on Plant Slurs 1 month ago:
I think this is something I might be too French-Canadian to understand, here we’d call it “pot” or perhaps “herbe”, both of which don’t translate to “bad grass”.
Unless overseas “herbe” translates to weed. We use it pretty interchangeably with “gazon” (which just means grass)
- Comment on How are you doing fellow kids 1 month ago:
I’ve learnt that never reading Twitter replies is actually a form of self-care. No matter how vile the tweet, the replies are always somehow an extra level of unhinged.
- Comment on How are you doing fellow kids 1 month ago:
Even though OP specified it’s a real tweet, I honestly didn’t believe them. Until I checked.
Fuck, man. I’ve been getting more and more desensitized to the absolute bullshit that abounds in this world, and most of the insane stuff fascists do barely registers anymore.
But this hit me like a ton of bricks, for some reason. These people are gonna gas minorities and make memes about it. What a fucking pathetic waste of atoms these assholes are.
- Comment on Switch 2 vs Steam Deck: the Cyberpunk 2077 face-off 1 month ago:
Sometimes adding the installer as a non-Steam game and running it through Proton works, otherwise I use Lutris. You can find tutorials online for setting it up to use with FitGirl’s installers.
Although specifically for Cyberpunk 2077 I had issues with the install, so I found a no-install version, I believe from DODI.

Ooo I’ve never heard of this! Kinda sad I only saw this comment after the Summer Sale :P Thanks for sharing!

If you know where to look, a certain athletic woman can give it to you for free if you’re on a Steam Deck!
- Comment on Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game 1 month ago:
In a similar vein to Superluminal, I’d also recommend Viewfinder, it’s kinda like Portal but with a camera rather than a Portal gun.
- Comment on PNG has been updated for the first time in 22 years — new spec supports HDR and animation 1 month ago:
Was this thread better without it?
Yes.
I, and I assume most people, go into the comments on Lemmy to interact with other people. If I wanted to fucking chit-chat with an LLM (why you’d want to do that, I can’t fathom), I’d go do that. We all have access to LLMs if we wish to have bullshit with a veneer of eloquency spouted at us.

- Comment on Websites Are Tracking You Via Browser Fingerprinting 2 months ago:
You’re mistakenly assuming the attributes are binary, stuff like screen resolution, regions, languages all have many possible values to help narrow down and identify you. It really doesn’t take that many for you to be identifiable.
- Comment on is there is any Lemmy server that care about privacy(does not require email), Does not impose limits on community posts like my current instance and does not have high amount of restrictions? 2 months ago:
You don’t need 5 posts a day for a community to survive here. There’s not that many people on Lemmy, things are a bit slower paced.
I mod !bicycles@lemmy.ca and we’d be lucky to have one post per day, yet I think it’s still a relatively healthy community, with a decent amount of engagement on most posts.
- Comment on I see trees of green 2 months ago:
Yeah, shitpost, that’s what I said!
- Comment on I see trees of green 2 months ago:
Gone into the wilderness to escape from the woes of modern capitalistic society, yet unable to escape the coping mechanisms used to survive the rat race. Trapped inside the addiction, a smoke and a coffee to wake up, a toke and a drink to pass out, in an endless cycle, just to blur the daily toil into a barely-tolerable disassociative carousel. Even the moments of leisure have become a task to accomplish; have your pittance of a vacation, stressing about how tightly scheduled you are, stressing about how much everything costs, stressing about the mounting responsibilities pilling up awaiting your arrival.
I dunno man, I think it’s just a shitpost.
- Comment on The solution to many problems 2 months ago:
I won’t lie though, judging from how much of the litter where I live is cigarettes butts and packs, there seems to be a rather large overlap.
Add people who drink Tim Horton’s coffee and that’s a solid 80% of the litter I see.
(Am smoker, will carry smelly butts rather than throw them on the street)

- Comment on The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it? 2 months ago:
I wasn’t talking about people on group rides, I’m talking about people using bikes as a means of transportation. I agree that people in group rides can sometimes be bothersome road users.
Red lights and stop signs are designed for cars and it’s honestly stupid to expect cyclists to treat them the same way. Studies have shown that treating stops as yields when on a bike is safer for all road users.
You should know that it doesn’t take “motor vehicle speeds” to cause a (serious) accident.
That’s not what I said. I was pointing out how your “swerve into a post because a cyclist ran a red light” is a dangerous situation made possible only by the presence of cars.
- Comment on The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it? 2 months ago:
Cyclists on the whole break traffic laws a lot less than motorists.
Also, I love how your only example of “the dangers of cyclists” involves someone in a car having to react to a cyclist. If everyone is cycling, speeds are low enough to react and typically avoid collisions even if a potential conflict arises. The “forces someone to swerve” phenomenon mostly happens at the speed of motor vehicles.
- Comment on The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it? 2 months ago:
Bicycle insurance and plates? Why? That makes zero sense. We have these for cars because cars are dangerous, not just for funsies. Bicycles don’t pose the same danger.
Walking… if you have time and physical ability, but who cares about that, right? It’s so cool and eco-friendly to say “just walk 20 minutes”.
Yeah it is cool and eco-friendly to walk 20 minutes (assuming one is able-bodied, as you mention.)
- Comment on The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it? 2 months ago:
More trains, trams, bicycle and/or e-scooter rentals, walking (a mile is what, 20 minutes walk at most?)

Hey OP, you can edit posts on Lemmy if you want to fix it!

Girl, if they don’t eat they won’t make it to next month! This isn’t a financial decision, it’s a survival decision.

I just took an edible and it’s starting to kick in, but I still want to figure this out.
Getting stoned and getting the magic rocks in my homelab to do my bidding one of my favourite ways to use up my time on this Earth.
- Comment on Microsoft is killing OneNote for Windows 10 5 months ago:
looks like their product is intended to feel as close to Microsoft as possible
Maybe that’s why they picked a name really easy to mistake for another office software suite, to mimic Microsoft’s atrocious naming schemes :P
