Very vague memories of the berlin wall being torn down as presented by mtv. I was like 6.
I remember it all over tv. All these alternative punk kids.
And I was so confused why there was a big ass wall covered in graffiti in the middle of the city and also why it was an issue.
Maybe a lot of millennials?
Idk. I’m f millennial.
Can I get in? Do I need to send you some venmo first ? Pretty please!?!
I really wouldn’t be bragging about your ignorance. If you don’t understand something that’s fine. But go out and educate yourself.
Thank you for taking the time to explain the joke instead of just downvoting me and calling me stupid. Like legit . Thanks. 👍
I know. It’s. Rough at first cause of hobby subs. But it’s lost bro. It’s all lost.
It’s all bots that are left.
Yeah they are banning for saying anything against musk , Trump, any of his cabinet. Or saying something nice about Luigi. The censorship is out of control.
There are sites you can use for phone verification. Open online phone numbers to use.
Yeah I got on the other day on my 2ndary account. It’s banned now too.
I literally haven’t commented about anything with it except a game walk through.
First account banned for listing maga trolls who sent me death threats for banning them from my small city sub.
Reddit says it was doxing. Not sure how.
Anyway. On reddit info it says it uses IP , screen resolution, and device numbers.
So I change my IP all the time
And I recently moved and at the same time got a new PC cause my old one died.
So I was using this 2ndary account on new IP, new PC, new city.
And some how they still flagged it.
So that means something else is going on.
Wages are not keeping up with inflation. The middle class is disappearing.
Fascism is on the rise everywhere.
Basic Education has declined and higher education is less accessible.
Climate change. Worse storms. Lots of animals are extinct or nearing extinct.
Big Companies own everything.
No one can afford a house.
Subscriptions for everything.
Life saving maintenance drugs are insanely expensive. A subscription to live.
Women’s rights being removed.
Natural resources all owned by companies with no oversight.
it’s getting bad.
However. It’s worth noting that the cause of all of these things isnt new.
This is the inevitable outcome of policies from as much as 100 years ago. (200 years ago? Capitalism)
Also. For some groups of people, things used to be much worse in many ways.
So some things are better. But the quality of life over all is probably declining.
Late stage capitalism and the dead internet.
When I have to focus on something I don’t want to do , I find manipulating myself works pretty well.
You just have to find out the best ways to coerce yourself.
I give myself rewards for doing the work. Ice cream, mostly. A promise myself something I want like a blizzard or milkshake if I get the weeks work finished on schedule. Then when I have it , it’s reinforcements that my work was worth it.
I also like competition with myself. so I set reasonable goals and then I will keep at it until I meet the goal. I also really like it when I exceed the goal. So it’s one way to help motivate myself.
I also find that I have to be like a strict parent with myself sometimes.
I don’t even let myself try to come up with an excuse not to do something.
I have to. No ifs and or buts. Once you start making an argument in your head about why you can do it later. Or why it’s not that important, you have fallen. Don’t listen!
Honestly it often feels like I’m forcing a child to clean their room. But it gets easier to push yourself the more you do it. .I also try hard to find something interesting about the work. Even if going in, I was 100 % uninterested in the topic. I try my best to find something to latch to.
Being genuinely interested really helps with motivation.
And as many others pointed out. Math is just practice.
Your speed is based on fluency. Which is based on experience.
“My main goal is to blow up and then act like I don’t know nobody”.
I can’t recall the author of such an astute remark.
I do recall making my own version in relation to going to the local county fair.
“My main goal is to get a funnel cake and not share it with nobody”.
Cause people always be like "let me have a bite. ". No. It’s mine. Fuck off. Go stand in line for 15 min in direct sunlight.
The cycle of ignorance will fix itself.
Drink raw milk !
If it’s plump. It’s ready.
Pretty sure fake cheese is made with vegetable oil, no?
Also the other day I bought a small block of kraft brand Colby cheese. A little treat for myself.
I always buy whichever brand is on sale. I’m not a cheese snob or anything.
Anywho. I got it out to eat it.
It’s super soft. Like. … well like fake cheese. Just like their kraft singles.
Floppy oily yellow cheese.
I got swindled. It says it’s Colby. But it’s not ! It’s the fake cheese !
Not happy. Won’t ever buy it ever again.
They just started doing this. It was real cheese not that long ago. I suspect it’s been “cut,” with fake cheese.
Like it’s not 100% fake cheese. But like 60% fake cheese.
I checked packaging to make sure I just didn’t buy the wrong stuff. Nope. It definitely says Colby cheese.
Also related to Emotional lability. Sometimes this can be a response to high stress of prolonged stress.
I ate a lot of hamber helper growing up. Often with weird meat we would get from food pantries. Like bison. Emu. And my dad would hunt deer some times or a relative would so we would eat it with ground venison. Which apparently is considered gourmet meat but I really do not like it. It always tastes like blood to me.
Anyway, when I was lucky enough to get it with ground beef, I recall actually loving it.
As an adult I haven’t really eaten it so I went and bought a box a while back.
I think the cheeseburger kind.
Jesus. It’s so gross and bland. Like salted cardboard. It also only had like 3/4 of a cup of dried noodles in it.
I remember a box of it feeding all 3 of us kids easily. With leftovers. There is very little yield after it cooks now. Shrink-flation.
Now I will say the box casseroles that Aldi sells are decent.
I like the orzo cheese broccoli one and the hamber one , which I cook with peppers. It has a strong cilantro flavor.
But the Hamber Helper brand ones are just so gross. I don’t know if the flavor has changed or maybe they were always that bad.
I swear so much food I thought was good as a kid literally just tastes like salted cardboard. Tostitos “pizzas”. Pizza rolls, McDonald’s food.
I’m pretty sure they have stopped putting seasoning on a lot of food to cut costs.
Yeah but the TVs are like $300. And one week of groceries is like $300.
It’s not really fair to say people waste their money on tvs
Black Rock will take it all. Already is
