JD & Erika sitting in a tree

K-I-S-S-I-N-G

First comes love

Then comes m̶a̶r̶r̶i̶a̶g̶e̶ JD divorces his brown wife & starts paying her child support

Then comes ̶a̶ ̶b̶a̶b̶y̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶a̶b̶y̶ ̶c̶a̶r̶r̶i̶a̶g̶e̶ Do whatever you want, JD & Erika. You’re g̶r̶o̶w̶n̶ corrupt adults.

You could have said all that without asking me if I’m a moron. What was the purpose of that?

I’m envious of your lifestyle. But my lifestyle is such that I am constantly traveling 2 hours North 2 hours south 6 hours East driving 70 mph every Which way, a bicycle would not get me to all the places I need to be, I would drop dead from exhaustion and weather exposure if I tried to bicycle to all the places I need to go. You are fortunate you have found your happy place and it’s all within bicycling distance.

Yeah but the guy in that YouTube tutorial seemed like he was implying that everybody should pronounce it correctly according to its language origin 🤷🏼‍♀️

Comfortable slavery is preferable to hard-fought-and-won freedom?

Sounds like a matter of preference. How about if we give people the option for comfortable slavery or to work really hard to earn freedom.

It’s not the kids who choose. They say “trick or treat” because if you don’t give them a treat, they will trick you. By vandalizing your house. That’s the tradition.

But the winter time is the astronomically accurate time.

In spring & summer the clock is an hour off.

Yeah I’m so glad walking was invented after cars started roaming the earth

Thanks, I was speaking hypothetically. Everything’s fine over here ☀️

Not so scary. Do one dressed as a letter from debt collectors.

Well it’s a fictional caption on a cartoon, so make of it what you will.

If they care about us, don’t you think they would tell us?

Honestly this is the most psychologically effective anti-sui effort I’ve ever seen.

So if I’m deliberating between staying alive and making everyone around me miserable including myself, versus killing myself and only making everyone around me miserable, I think the second option still comes out as a net positive.

Ooh yeah from the first page it was already above my skill level 😆

If the holes in the net are so tiny, is that big fish just sucking fish juice and goo? He couldn’t get a whole fish out of there.

I am sad that that’s true.

After we die, do all of our character flaws get washed clean as if they never happened?

The problem with mass transit is that each person can’t go directly to the doorstep of each specific place they need to be. And they wouldn’t be able to haul a whole lot of stuff like a week’s worth of groceries & dog in a kennel on its way to/from veterinarian appt, & 5 children & lumber from Home Depot.

Lemmy user dondelelcaro thinks it might be this amazing lady: Timnit Gebru who has been working in the area of the ethics of AI for quite some time.

don’t get why some people have a problem with that.

I have bipolar disorder. I see doctors for this. Saturday October 25th I took a shower and I went to work. Next day I went to work too. That night I drove 2 hours to prepare for an athletic event on Monday morning. I did the athletic event which took all day and then I went to bed. I was in bed from Tuesday to Friday. Friday morning I finally took a shower again.

That snapshot of my life from Tuesday to Friday is my dark side of bipolar disorder. Lay in bed. Can’t move. Stare at phone. Lemmy, YouTube, eat, sleep, pee, poop, repeat for 4 days until something makes me snap out of it which today was the obnoxious infuriating sound of a leafblower outside my bedroom window. And just like that I got out of bed & took a shower. It was quite a relief to finally be able to move after feeling trapped in bed for 4 days.
