What about if you live in the real world? If I fell asleep for three months I’d wake up ten grand poorer. It’s great that you can completely uproot yourself for three months and then comeback and restart life and somehow save money, but that is so incredibly unrealistic. My bills don’t stop because I took a cheap trip to Brazil.
They said “people,” not left handed.
That’s what OP said, Lemmy users.
Maybe I was being hyperbolic, I’m sorry.
I’ve never removed any cowling or plastic fenders and ended up with the same number of unbroken plastic pieces afterwards.
And as far as time is concerned, I can’t really think of anything on a car that’s worth doing. I changed my snow tires, so that’s a thing. Other than that, can I? Sure. Is that how I want to spend my time, just fucking pissed off? No.
I look down on people who constantly talk like they’re a meme.
I also am part of the “I downloaded jerboa first and it’s good enough” crew.
Except we all know what he means by third world: brown.
I think we can and do have normal things. I feel like exposure to mass media brings problems right to your door, and it just isn’t how it is. At the same time, there is a bit of responsibility that falls on your (my) shoulders to be involved. I certainly won’t stand by while some bullshit is going down especially bullshit that my kids are exposed to. I will let kids be kids, but I won’t let them be poisoned with negative, fearful nonsense.
And so yeah, my response to much of the crippling depression that’s blasted at us over the past 10 years has been to stick my head in the sand. And people here will chastise me for this, but I refuse to take on global problems when I’ve got things right here that need my attention. I know this isn’t exactly what we’re talking about, but I come to Lemmy to philosophize.
Yeah, I’m from Jersey, and similar to you it was just a thing for boys to do. There was no homophobia, we accepted from the weird kid to the sporty kid, and eveyone in between, and sometimes there were cliques and sometimes we whittled soap. We went camping sometimes. There was fire, yeah, that seems to be ubiquitous among the boy scouts.
I stopped when I got bored. There were no scandals.
All the bots on this site like to shit on Americans, “Why aren’t you doing something?!” And the answer to the stupid question is that individual actions are pointless and that if we wanted to do something, you need a rallying point.
This is that rallying point. This is the kind of movement you can get behind to tell the feds to fuck off. I’ve said it before, I served my time, and I’m not sure I’d serve the country again right now, but I would 100% serve New Jersey.
The US has given twice the aid as the entirety of the European Union.

It’s 95%. If you’re going to be annoying at least do it right.
Crazy, but it’s almost like parenting can make the environment safer!
Lemmy likes to portray Roblox the same way the 10pm news portrayed the Internet when I was in my preteens and teen years, like it was the wild west, everyone was a predator, etc. I let my kids hop on. Their friends include me, their mom (who has an account for some reason), each other, and the kids who live across the street. They like to play the platformers, and they invite me sometimes and we play them.
They’ll get older and they’ll go explore the internet the same way I did. I spent my adolescence and teen years eventually in AIM chat rooms, then forums, and thn Skyping random people, and somehow didn’t become a terrorist, didn’t get predated. I also am of the school of thought that you need to learn things on your own, rather than have no exposure to things that could potentially be bad.
