Using our world as a template, it probably would be illegal to revive a convict, but itd be an open secret that a few well placed bribes and a bit of influence is all it’d take to bend the rules

Yeah, popular music - by definition - is going to have a broad appeal, and pointing out major problems with our society is always going to be at least a bit divisive, especially when the issue is split in party lines

I’m kind of the same, I rarely wear deodorant, and it’s basically never an issue (believe me, my wife would tell me if it was)

But some days even I’m like “holy fuck I reek” - I think it’s probably a diet thing

How would you know? You don’t actually understand the code. It could be making shit up, and you’d never have any idea

Seriously dude, if you run into code you don’t understand, take the time to actually understand it, or else you’ll never actually improve

I’m terrified for our next junior dev hire if this is common among beginners now lol

100% agree, without it, the decentralization aspect is severely weakened

Yeah honestly hearing it describes as being full of neo Nazis is wild lol, it’s almost more left leaning than Lemmy

I’ve always wondered if this is actually true, or if it just gets spread around as true because no sane person would actually test it with all their might lol

Or maybe it’s true in the sense that “a normal person can’t stab themselves in the face with a knife because the body has things in place to prevent that”

Also, if the story is true, that’s a fucking terrible nurse (and person) for not reporting it - dude could be in a domestic abuse situation getting stitches and she’s just like “yeah whatever”

I started during COVID for practical reasons, but it’s so simple and quick I don’t think I’ll ever go back - I just grabbed a $40 pair of plug in Wahl clippers and I’ve probably saved myself at least a grand by now in haircuts

I’ve definetely saved myself many purchases with my 3d printer, but I definetely think I’ve spent more on filament for dumb/fun prints than I’ve saved with practical ones lol - especially when I’m designing my own shit and need to prototype, I’ve gone through entire rolls just iterating on a single design until I get something I’m happy with…

That being said, it’s all in how you use it!

Eating healthy

For some reason the general consensus is that eating healthy is expensive - probably because when people think about eating healthy, they’re often thinking about Whole Foods type shit.

My wife and I have been losing weight over these last few months (40lbs down!) and one of the biggest things I noticed besides the number on the scale was how much less we were spending on food.

For one, you’ll generally eat out less, because most of the really tempting restaurant options aren’t that healthy

For another veggies, legumes, etc are cheap af, and those make up a huge part of a healthy diet. We buy our veggies in bulk from costco each week save a ton compared to when we’d be loading our carts with butter/cheese, fatty/sugary snack foods, and other r junk

We also just plain eat less, what we used to eat in a night now stretches to two nights, which means fewer trips to the grocery store.

We do eat more lean proteins (mainly chicken and fish) to bump our protein ratios up, and we buy protein powders and whatnot, but even accounting for all that, we’re still saving a lot of money compared to our old habits

I exclusively wear Exo Foccio Give n Go boxer briefs

Expensive as hell, but soo worth it - a pair lasts me years before the elastic gives out, and they’re so comfortable

Yeah even with the expensive ones it’s hard to find a good one. Last time I got a pillow, I just ordered like 6 from Amazon, and tried each for a night before deciding which to keep - only one ended up being remotely good, and they were all “nice” pillows (highly rated, over $100)

Love the one I ended with though

Poor people don’t really want things - you need a certain level of cash flow to qualify as a proper person with dreams and feelings, haven’t you heard?

Yeah if you have a costume on, that’s all I need to know

If you don’t have a costume, I’ll use the special bowl of candy full of Almond Joy’s…

Plot twist, the OP is another party member entirely who just happened to look at the bard right after it happened

Yeah I think a better answer would’ve been “an ad with a black man smiling at his white wife”

For bonus points, make it clear in the ad that the man is a house husband and the wife is a working professional lol

The vast majority of us use these wonderous devices to get into arguments with people we are extremely unlikely to ever meet in person

And also about things that we generally either don’t really care much about, or can’t actually do anything about lol

feels a bit like cheating given that the man in the picture is clearly being presented as a server, not a consumer
