Truly, Lemmy is home to a wide variety of takes.

Hasn't that cat done enough for quantum mechanics?

ah fuck, time to get paralyzed and give up I suppose. I'm never going to solve my problems in time.

yknow who else hates France? The ruling class

I'm still so nervous around black people that I'm scared of doing some microaggression and pushing someone into beating the shit out of me that I act super too nice which is just another fucking microaggression.

Maybe I misread this but I don't think it's fair to say i made it up out of whole cloth. No well adjusted person is going to beat the shit out of someone because of a microaggression. I cannot imagine where this fear would come from unless this person has actually been beaten up or knows someone who has been beaten up.

I was quite drunk and reading between the lines. I still think it's wild to be afraid of being around black people because you think you'll get physically harmed for a microaggression. Like, that's gotta come from somewhere. The way they framed it as "pushing someone into beating the shit out of me" makes it sound like they think they'd deserve it. Which if they were screaming slurs or parroting Nazi talking points, yeah maybe, but those aren't really micro aggressions are they

so youre saying youre... Afraid for your safety around black people because you got beaten up for something you said at some point? That doesnt sound like self awareness or a micro aggression, that sounds like trauma from catching the wrong person on the wrong day

I remember buying GTA V on disc and then having to wait an entire day for the day 1 patch to download on my slow ass rural bumfuck ADSL connection. Disc or no, if it has online activation it ain't yours.

I have noticed that occasionally the nitpicking collides with poor reading comprehension to create some of the most annoying yet hilarious comments ever.

So like the reply ITT would be something like uh yeah op sounds like a you problem, that's completely fucking false about lemmy. People take things way too seriously here, and everybody is way too nitpicky and judgemental.

Angel in the centerfold

curious that O'Leary doesnt want to build that DC in Quebec. I wonder why. You'd think he'd want it close to home, since it's so good for the economy and all.

Because specific kinds of plastic (like polyurethane) undergo hydrolysis when exposed to moisture, which causes what you see in the op

i have to imagine new yorkers would be quite annoyed by this

You can actually get to almost 10000 on your fingers using Bede's finger reckoning technique.

The first would have been taken during Apollo 11, as that was the first manned mission to the surface of the moon.

Wait til you hear how they handle breaks

brain dead take

Dear lord candlejack has retu

The service I got was slow. I come here all the time, so i should know how things should be around here. My waiter sucks, I demand that he be fired.

[Paraphrased, but this is actual feedback I got the day before mothers day, when our dishwasher was broken. And yes, he stiffed me, because of course]

I've also had a father tell his children that "tipping is optional and they should be happy with 5%" after I spent an hour and a half busting ass for his family's ridiculous requests. After taxes and tip out 5% can literally be less than zero into your waiter's pocket, fwiw.

Y'all suck. I assume anyone I see bitching about waitstaff getting tips, or implying they dont tip, is an asshole, because IME those are the complaints of an asshole. Tipping culture in general is a whole other topic that there can be reasoned and nuanced discussions about, but if your take is "tipping sucks and I don't have to," then you are willingly taking advantage of a system that denies people of the fruits of their labor.

At this point half the reason i use Lemmy is curse management. I can't tell you how many times a week I'll be going about my business and then wham, I get hit with a curse. The other day I sat down to eat dinner and found that my burrito was full of spiders. The spirit that haunts my apartment block sure does have a sense of humor. Not sure if he was a shaman or a wizard or what. I'd move, but the rent is cheap, and sometimes the curses have a silver lining. My kitchen tap ran red with blood the other day, so I made sausage. Tastes awful, but probably saved me a good $40 with the amount I was able to fit in the freezer. Anyway, I appreciate the semi-regular curse-lifting I get from lemmyshitpost.
