Oh hi.
That last point is really interesting. Conservatives and right-wingers can’t grasp that other people don’t think like they do. I remember during the January 6th insurrection how all the people doing it really seemed to believe they would be seen as heroes. It’s like they had no idea over half of the US didn’t agree with them.
Meh, if it drops it drops. I’ll never have the relationship to social media I used to, because I don’t want it anymore. If Lemmy can give me a few posts a day of things I might not normally see, that’s enough for me. It doesn’t need to be the next Reddit or whatever. After quitting Reddit I’m getting back into things I haven’t done in years. I don’t need that again.
I would like to request a patch to the patch request. The submitter describes the dashes as equal signs and it’s really bugging me.
Well the plot twist is, they were generally exceptionally smart at what they needed to know to survive. It’s easy to forget how difficult life was for average people up until fairly recently. Like less than a century ago. Education and literacy really weren’t a priority.
One of my favorite theories, by no means provable, is that since the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body and also language (both of those are true actually), it’s literally disparaging the side of the body it doesn’t control and praising the side it does, which is why so often “left” develops negative connotations and “right” positive ones.
I mean, the word ambidextrous means “both right”, so by their own definition they’re even more right-handed than righties.
Hmm, that’s an interesting point. Maybe middle of the road scissors are ironically the best for lefties.
Using normal, right-handed scissors with the right hand works noticeably better. Cleaner cuts, and you can tell the handle is meant to be held with the right hand. I’ve used cheap/dull scissors that wouldn’t even work with the left hand. Oh man, let me tell you about scissors…
When I was a kid in the 80s I knew an older man who said when he was a kid his school tied his left arm down behind his back to force him to use his right hand.
Nah, give me all them SuperbOwls.
Anyone else starting to experience hand fatigue while gaming or am I the only actual old person here?
Save taxpayers money, not the super rich. The system is working as intended for the parasites at the top.
Yes, they specifically have said they don’t want AI companies to get their user data for free. What’s interesting is that we as a culture have internalized and accepted the idea that our user-made content is something only tech companies have the right to profit from and fight over.
Watch out for the Undertoad.
I haven’t thought about The World According to Garp in a long time.
Bread and circuses. Rulers had it figured out millennia ago.
I was sceptical, but it is starting to look like it…
Definitely. I knew one guy who was an EMT. He was very casual about it unless he was drinking.
