Extra exciting night tonight!

My wife put in a pickup order at Sam's Club, so while we were up there, we got supper at the Chinese buffet!

Can someone give me atleast 5 examples of Democrats being against the working class?
  • Democrats used to be the conservative party before Nixon (my timing might be off) said "Hold my beer" and turned the Republicans into the regressive Christian theocracy it is today.

    So, the civil war thing doesn't really count because it was a different party with different ideals under the same name.

  • Can somebody please explain to me what exactly is Scientology?
  • That's probably alright, just keep an eye out. Let her know about the crazy stuff before he eases her into it.

    Also, it's not the boyfriends fault. He was raised in it and doesn't know better. Assuming he's otherwise a good kid, talking shit on him will not help the cause.

  • Men of Lemmy, how old were you when you found out that bra cup sizes are not standardized in the slightest?
  • The cup size SHOULD be the difference in inches between the circumference below the breast and circumference around the breast.

    3" difference would be a C cup

    5" would be DD.

    Why they double up some letters and not others, I couldn't tell you. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    My ex used to sell underwear.

  • Can somebody please explain to me what exactly is Scientology?
  • You should ask your daughter about Scientology.

    Does she explain it like it's ridiculous, or credible?

    You might want to show her that clip from South Park if she doesn't realize it's batshit crazy.

    Teach her (don't force her, that never works) before she falls in with a cult and you lose her forever.

  • Do you think it's okay to not have an opinion on something?
  • I would say it's better to not have an opinion than to have an uninformed opinion.

    Like a kid who has a strong opinion on a food that they've never tried. How can you know you don't like something if you never tried it? Sure.

    You could look at the ingredients and if you don't like anything that goes in it you can assume that you wouldn't like the end product, but at least some thought went into at that point.

  • How do you tell whether I experienced it or only read about it?
  • Happens to me sometimes too.

    I've literally told a story of something that happened to me, just to have that person say that it happened to THEM and I'm just remembering the time they told me about it.

    Or, maybe I just read about that happening. 🤔

  • Go play Inscryption!

    It only took me two weekends to get through the whole thing, and now that it's over. Wow!

    It resembles Slay the Spire, where you choose your path, and collect cards and powers, but the matches are more like puzzles. Your opponent creates scenarios and how you pay your cards determines if you move on or perish.

    Now a big reason why I loved this game is the weird shit that happens, and weird shit isn't fun when you know it's coming, so that's all I'm going to say about that.

    If you like puzzles or cards games or a story that makes you say WHAT THE FUCK?!? start downloading it now, it's free on Gamepass!

    I'm listening to a motivational speaker at a corporate conference when I realize...

    Corporate America has programmed people to HUSTLE! BE THE BEST! ACHIEVE! MAKE MORE MONEY!!! for so long that they now need to pay someone to come and teach us how to relax, enjoy the moment and be happy again.

    Local estate auction, featuring Nazi token and case of condoms.

    I was relieved to see there were no bids on the Nazi trash.

    I wonder if there's some guy out there that collects little metal cars who really wants to bid, but doesn't want to be the guy who bought the Nazi coin.

    Has anyone ever been to a political candidate rally? What was it like?

    I've been invited to attend a Tim Walz rally tonight, and I have no idea what to expect. Share your stories and get me pumped up to see our next VP!

    Update: Everybody was right, lots of standing and clapping, but what I really didn't expect was the sense of family I felt with all these strangers around me. We'd bump into each other, and laugh it off, one guy was telling me about how his son was thinking about going to the college that I work at (I was still wearing my shirt from work), and we all just knew that we were working together to make great things happen. I'll probably skip the next one, but it was a great experience. I'm glad I went, and would recommend going to one if you have a chance, and a candidate you believe in.

    If malls continue to shut down and decay over the next twenty years, someone should turn them into retirement communities for GenX and Millennials.

    Imagine apartments built into what used to be department stores, (Oh, you're JC Penny 203? I'm at Sears 106). Get those old arcades up and running. Set up meal stations at the food court. Once people actually live there, stores will start to move back in.

    If I'm unable to finish my life in my own home, that doesn't sound like a terrible option.

    What are everyone's thoughts on the Amazon series?

    My kids and I watched the first two episodes last night, and I'm impressed. It feels like Fallout. I like the characters so far, and they squeeze in enough game references to keep my brain spiking with recognition.

    We set the bar pretty low on video game adaptations, but I feel this one's doing alright so far!

    What does everyone else think? (Let's keep spoilers to a minimum. Most of us probably weren't able to watch the whole thing in one night.)

    My son found this little girl on the streets.

    She is currently heading home with a clean bill of health and about to meet her new siblings!

    If you flip the N in Niagra upside down..
