I’m such a self conscious and extremely anxious person yet I had a friend convince me to sing while he played guitar for a school presentation he needed to do for his music class. My hands literally clamped up so tight I couldn’t open them for 5 minutes after lol

When you can’t have it anymore you kinda miss it. At your age I had shoulder length hair and loved it.

Now I have the Vegeta hairline and the typical bald spot on the top so I buzz my hair super super short. I hate it to be honest, but it’s better than looking pathetic holding on to what little hair I have just to have it longer lol

You can apply the perfect amount of any condiment to a sandwich with your mind.

You can communicate with phytoplankton in French.

Eating vegetables makes you repellant to a T-Rex.

Finally! I’ve been holding out for years waiting on steam to release a new VR set, time to finally get one!

I feel like this is almost worse in a way. We grew up with the future looking bright only to have it all collapse under us… We knew what we could have had and instead were given rampant corruption, war, economic and environmental collapse, and growing authoritarianism… Fun stuff… :/

This is pretty much what I do with every “upper level” comment I write. It’s almost never directed at OP, it’s meant for anyone reading it.

“They’re not rocks Marie!!”

…ok, maybe some of them are, but they’re really cool!

Grok- “It was THE JEWS!”

I’d like to think I’d find meaning elsewhere, and maybe that’s true, but I’m skeptical. I’m almost certainly just kidding myself when I think that I would. I’d just sit at home smoking weed and watching YouTube videos.

But if that’s what you enjoyed then that is what you’d do and it would make you happy. If it didn’t make you happy you wouldn’t do it. So maybe that’s how your life after work would start, but if you became restless and stopped enjoying it you have your background in contracting and you’d probably take on some more enjoyable creative aspect of that role.

In the end your life doesn’t only have meaning if it’s defined by a job title, it’s defined by how you live it. It doesn’t even need to have “meaning” outside of your own enjoyment of life.

No one said you’re not allowed to ask questions…

As for the “leftist” part, this is Lemmy, and spending enough time here you learn that liberal has a very different meaning to some people so I was just covering my bases.

Because being a liberal (not the leftist definition of liberal) doesn’t mean you have no brain.

I’m assuming by your question that you’re implying it’s true, which funny enough gives some credence to the first part of the quote. Unless of course you’re a leftist, at that point we’re just quibbling over terminology.

A quote tossed at me by a MAGA friend before Trump won in 2106. I stopped talking to them for a year or so because I didn’t want to say something that would actually end our friendship.

It’s such a fucking stupid, insulting quote.

Time gates. Gacha games are rife with them…

Want a piece of equipment for your character? Well spend daily currency to get one that regenerates over a day. Oops rng God hates you and you got +Def for a character that wants +Atk, better luck tomorrow/next week… Oops it’s still not your week +Hp this time.

"Aliens With Shutguns”

So thaaaaats what is in area 51… This whole time it was aliens with shotguns threatening web developers in order to keep the Internet running.

“Human! Asafum is attempting to connect to the human butt website, make it happen!”

It makes coating a pan or bowl easier so I don’t end up using too much and I use it when I make seasoned chicken! :)

Well that certainly sounds like a good reason for it to cause issues lol good to know

Cold, and hot/humid lol we get the “best” of everything… Below freezing winters and ~95°F 70%RH summers

Thats not good to hear lol hopefully mine holds out!

I’ve had it for almost a year now, but I’ve only used vegetable oil, only fill it half way, and I depressurize it when I’m done. Not sure if there is much of a difference between the two oils or if I just got lucky.

An oil sprayer. I was looking for gift ideas and came across a “misto” brand oil sprayer and now I use it all the time! No more spray cans of oil and God knows what else, you just fill it half way with whatever oil you want (except coconut oil for some reason) and you pump it to pressurize the oil so you can spray whatever you want.

I had an advertisement dropped into my mailbox for a local house up for sale for $1.7 million

I rent a fucking garage “apartment”… They put that ad in the mailbox that is attached to that garage…

Ya got me, I just like cosplaying as poor. I chose to live in a garage for fun…
