I gots the moobs. B cup would be an improvement

I’m willing to have my mind changed here. But in my view, the Democrats come to the table with their negotiation, and then negotiate down until they get absolutely fuck all, a la the ACA

I fundamentally disagree that it is impractical not to put it on the price tag. Every store prints their own price tags and puts them either directly on the item, or on the shelf. It wouldn’t be hard to just make that price different to reflect the tax. We already do it with gasoline.

Baked Mac and cheese is the only Mac and cheese. I miss my mom’s so fucking much it’s crazy. I can make it, but nobody made it like her.

Around 700%

Not a joke

It’s been a shitty year and a half

My mom back

Ask y’all’s mom!

I’m sorry. I’ll see myself out.

Does that birthdate say February 34th?

Mmhmm. 'Strue. Happened to my cousin. Had to do a modified C section to cut the baby out if his balls.

Gonna regret finally asking this question I’ve been too afraid to Google for years. What is a futa? Just… Be gentle with me when you answer.

Any long term effects? Did you love it? Hate it?

I’ve been seriously considering trying it. How long did the after effects last?

Have you tried DMT?

Used to work security, and one time during our CPR/AED training, this dude, we’ll call him Officer Dumbfuck, kept asking dumbass questions. We’re talking, like, “if a person is pregnant and too large to get my hands around for a heimlich, can I just punch them?” And “if there’s no AED available, should we just shock them with like some wires plugged into a socket?”

Which, I mean, good thing he asked instead of doing that shit… But yeah. Officer Dumbfuck was a dumb fuck. Our entire training was supposed to be around 2 hours. We were there for 6. The instructor barely would get two or three sentences in before Officer Dumbfuck came in with another dumb as fuck question.

Finally, by the end, the instructor is visible upset, everyone there is stressed as fuck and we all just want to leave.

Instructor: okay. Well. I think we have covered every possible thing. So if we’re done here, I’m going to get home.

Me: excitedly actually I have a question!

Entire class: exhales enough to change the humidity in the room

Instructor: defeated, exhausted … Yes?

Me: nah I’m just screwing with y’all. See ya next year!

That’s funny! I’m writing a script and just used wrote the line “but Gnome is g-home” last night!

I just want to apologize for being the person who asks questions and then doesn’t respond to the comments. I get overwhelmed D: but I’d never delete my post, what’s the purpose in that?

I took sort of the opposite route. Lifelong windows user. Tried Linux out several times from like 08-12/13. Moved to Linux full time, and landed on Fedora, and absolutely loved it because of Gnome. It was different enough from Windows that it felt like a fresh start. Have been daily driving it since then.

Two weeks ago I got my first ever apple device because I wanted something genuine reliable for school that didn’t have any weird hiccups, and I just could not stomach the idea of going back to windows. It’s similar enough to gnome that I am adjusting pretty well. Still have fedora on my desktop and backup laptop, though

Wut

I grew up in an era of sneaking into the living room to use the family desktop in the middle of the night to talk to random strangers in yahoo chat rooms.

I also learned how to type with just my left hand…

To be fair, I think this is a Lemmy issues moreso than the broader internet. I could be totally off base there, though. It just seems in my experience that Lemmy is particularly anti AI, while the rest of the Internet seems to be fairly neutral towards the technology as a whole, and potentially upset about the environmental impact and increasing prices for computer components.

Again, I may be off base, though, as Lemmy is the only social media I use, so I’m not tapped into that side of things.

I will say, if I notice people use the word “quietly” (as in “it will quietly revolutionize X” or “this has quietly changed my habits”) I do immediate assume it’s Chatgpt. Lol. And for what it’s worth, I’m not against AI in general, I think it’s great as a brain storming tool, a useful way to collect your thoughts, to bounce ideas off of, and to use when stuck on a project. But it’s uses are so limited compared to what it’s billed as that it is in no way this magical gift from on high like some think, but nor is it a completely and totally useless thing. The problem is that it’s being shoved down the throat of every website, device, and user of the Internet at such incredible rates that we’re choking on it. And the fact that it can “talk” like a person means people are anthropomorphizing it and that is very, very dangerous long term to the mental health of humans as a whole.

My $0.02, anyway
