I had a copy of Giant Robot and Electric Tears back in the day and was thinking maybe there was a third album I was missing…

Single digits for sure. I’ll be okay from -9 to +9, but I don’t really see a solution to a 999°F heatwave

But it’s critically necessary for functionality.

Got a question? Google it an boom there’s an AI summary for you. Now you’re engaged in scrolling past the dubious response and the sponsored links before you can get to the results you want.

It’s called ‘enhancing the user experience’. It was tedious to ignore the paid ads where you were likely to be misled for profit, but now it’s enhanced tedium where you’re likely to be misled for no fucking reason.

Counterpoint: look at those hands. Maybe they just weren’t great at some things.

I’d believe they mastered lighting and painting techniques over accurate physical representation more than “Jesus was a perfect middle aged nippleless man with fucked up hands and that’s represented perfectly here”

I think you should consult a dermatologist.

Fun fact! The kid in the MAGA hat is in a concentration camp.

(I have zero idea who either of these people are, but I think the odds I’m still correct are in my favour)

Free speech in no way makes a conversation intelligent or sane.

Free speech is necessary to prevent the government from censoring dissent.

The consequence is that there’s little to no legal repercussions to spreading lies and hate. But that doesn’t mean there can’t be repercussions.

Ah, the American healthcare system!

That’s just the natural aging process. Plumbing just gets saggy and wrinkly. Ask any man over 50.

Most usual pets don’t care for my existence at all.

That sucks, dude. I’m sorry you’ve never experienced that.

Also, a cat comes into your house and you have to feed it for a day:

But to ask “would people actually care for, shelter, and feed an animal they didn’t know? Like just bond with a creature for what? Emotional connection, companionship, and kinship to another living thing? I love animals, tho” is just a weird take. Like, you can love animals (or babies) and not want to be responsible for them in your home, but to be incredulous about why someone would want that is ridiculous.

“Would people really let some stray live with them?”

That’s literally the history of house cats. A million times, yes, people want to hang out with random cats.

You don’t need to want cats or babies to see why other people would want cats or babies.

“I love all animals, as long as those useless fucks stay outta my way!”

Humidifiers.

It’s just a pool of water with a little nebulizer and a fan to blow the mist out a chimney.

Trouble is, they’re all made by the fucking plague demon Nurgle with the sole purpose of aerosolizing mold and bacteria by having the tiniest nooks and crannies than cannot be reached to be physically cleaned.

And before I get the “you gotta clean it with vinegar every week” comment, two points:

1. You don’t soak your hands in soap and rinse them off and call them clean. You gotta scrub them.
2. Am I supposed to fill a 5 gallon bucket with vinegar to soak the whole water tank every week? Because the chimney goes right through that bitch.

That’s one of the things I respect the hell out of with Bill Burr. He says plenty of shit I disagree with, but also says lots that I strongly agree with. His opinions are truly his own and he’ll voice them to a reasonable point. He’s no one’s parrot.

Hell yeah!

I have procreated and passed off my genes, but it’s bullshit to tell other people that’s the point of being alive.

You gotta do what you feel is right. If nothing feels worthwhile, make the best of the ride!

Pikachu ex? More like Pikacheex, am I right?

Question! Do you like penicillin on your pizza?

Can you provide evidence for this

Oh, no, we’re in lemmyshitpost, so I was just talking shit about the absolutely insane marketing choice to try to sell them as “triangles”.

But here we are talking about it, so fuck me, it’s working.

That’s a very generous assumption for a company whose “flavoured, uhhh, triangles” can’t pass the legal threshold of the word “chip” or “snack”, let alone “tortilla”.

“Freedom” to “free market” types is the freedom to do whatever you want with no consequences regardless of the impact to others.

“Free market” means if you get duped or swindled then “you deserved it”.

“Free market” means if it really causes harm then “people just won’t buy it”.

“Free market” is way more what most people think anarchy is than what anarchists are advocating for.

Anarchy is “if I want to do cocaine and I die, that’s on me, the government shouldn’t be allowed to control what I do with my body”

Free market is “we should be allowed to add a little bit of cocaine to this baby formula so our brand beats out the competition and no one should be allowed to tell us we can’t”
