But what if you wanted to shoot a gun? Surely that would make that situation better.

Man that cat is about to order 007 on some sort of mission and be mad that he fucks all the ladies both friend or foe.

I don’t think anyone thinks dial-up was good.

honestly you have no business working in your field if that’s your approach to a fundamental facet of your job. that’s like a farmer refusing to use a spade because they prefer shovels.

can you cite a state’s traffic law that says (in so many words) “don’t use the middle lane for long term travel” ?

I am speaking toward common sense driving in the US. Not 100% adherence to local traffic code minutia. If you’re going to be on the highway for ~a while~ and it has 3+ lanes, get in the middle lane and set your cruise control to the speed limit. then adjust for local conditions. this isn’t rocket surgery.

Yeah, why be in the right lane (of a 3+ lane highway) if you’re not planning to exit soon.

Yeah, why be in the left lane (of a 3+lane highway) if you’re not going faster to pass for whatever reason.)

of course, there are situations where this doesn’t apply

If you can’t figure out the solutions to those situations, maybe don’t get behind the wheel.

Please tell me what you think the middle 1-5 lanes of highway are REALLY for, other than my suggested assumption of “general travel” (meaning: you’re probably not going to get off the highway for the next 5-20 exits.)

this is completely incorrect—stay in the middle lane if you’re going to be on the highway for a while. if there are 3 or more lanes, the right is generally for exiting, far left for passing and middle for general travel.

How old are you and also have you become a thing lunatic right-winger? Two of those are common causes for friends drifting apart. 1) if you’re in your late 20s / early 30s most other people are busy with their own shit and don’t have time to engage with the people who used to occupy their entire existence. 2) if you became an unhinged rightwinger spouting insane nonsense then people probably don’t wanna engage with you.

Likely it’s just you’re old now so old social circles close up

Have you tried using your own memory?

Sounds like both your dad and brother are gay and also extremely abusive. Fun fact, just because someone is a blood relative doesn’t mean they have a free pass to be in your life.

but its curated, in stark space and he’s waring all black! IT ART!

Well you can choose to ignore the definitions of words. I am not judging.

Not judging. That’s an actual fact.

Have you considered these people don’t consider you to be that important in their own lives? It’s not the job of friends to fix the perceived foibles of their friends, unless a friend actually asks for help.

Friends are just people who enjoy each others company and offer as much or as little emotional support when able/willing. When that stops being the case it’s fine to drift apart.

Also, really take a step back, ‘cause you literally wrote this:

Nope. Don’t mutilate your child.

I just think they’re neat honestly. feel similarly about boats and trains and well executed meals and nice interior design.

Start building credit if you’re in the US, but don’t treat your credit card like free money.

Don’t let yourself get addicted to alcohol (or any other drug).

Spend a decade commuting by bike if you can (rain or shine).

Get radicalized by the terrorists (people who just wanna have a nice safe society free of bigotry and hate).

Nope. Honestly though Lemmy helped me with my Reddit addiction. Haven’t been on Reddit in years and only occasionally engage with Lemmy during the week. Supplanted both with reading bootleg manga, ha ha ha.
