We coulda had Bernie...
  • I think the biggest factor is we have media covering everything 24/7 and when the smallest little detail comes out about something bad it's blown way up and made to be a huge deal. It's easy to get sucked into thinking we are in the worst point of history. No political figure can take a shit without some news outlet telling us that's where they were plotting to blow up the entire world.

  • Do you like America? Why or why not?
  • Not even a little. We are being forced into sickness and poverty. We make just enough to put food on the table and even that's getting harder. An unexpected illness is setting people back on their bills. Every law that's passed goes against what the people want and the only way this will ever change is if we can afford to pay off a politician like all the major companies do. Voting doesn't feel like it makes a difference anymore and the only platform it feels like they use is "at least I'm not them". I've said it before and I'll say it again if someone paid for us to leave the US I'd be packed within a couple of hours.

  • Fair question
  • They're the kind of brand that come out with a netflix and chill flavor that's just mint flavored popcorn and it'll be the only thing they dont cancel after the first couple batches.

  • If your mind got transported back 10 years right now with no time to prepare, how could you exploit your knowledge for personal gain?
  • Win the lotto for me and a buddy then toss some into investments and properties to sell/rent at a discounted rate following 2019 in comparison to those who inflated theirs. Instead of 2k/m I'll go $1,500 as long as it's still above the profit line I don't need hoards of wealth from it I kinda enjoy working.

    Also I'd probably just dump a bunch of money into my kids name to let it start building interest for them.

  • Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing?
  • I'm a relatively good driver (not the greatest) I'll never understand how people don't understand there's more you can do to control your vehicle speed besides just hitting the gas then the brake. It's terrifying seeing someone speed up on someone then hit the brakes ever every 3 seconds. I've had my set of brakes on for nearly 7 years I know people who change them yearly and I'm strictly talking about the ones I know for a fact get the same level of quality brakes that I get. I own a truck hauling stuff around nearly every day so in theory I should be going through brakes WAY more than the average person.

  • Thanks
  • You gotta start doing it with a bunch of smaller less important things. We started with things like bed time 7pm was lights out not the start or getting ready. We started around age 3 or 4 and after probably 6 months it really sunk in. When planning to leave the house we would give a 45m warning and since day 1 we never had issues. With that said though kids grasp things differently. Some kids thrive on schedules and routines..

  • What do you think of birdwatchers and birdwatching ?
  • Up until last Saturday I thought it was an old person's thing I wouldn't care much for.

    Here I sit watching and feeding my flock of Grey catbirds and enjoying sounds of the cardinals and chick-a-dees. It's nice.

  • More parents are taking on debt to pay for Disney vacations as prices soar
  • I have a friend who goes with their husband and kiddo who spends the entire year seeking out the cheapest ways to go and it literally takes months but saves them $8k off normal pricing. That still leaves them needing $7k for the week vacation. I couldn't even imagine caring that much about something. I wouldn't mind going but the absolute most I'd spend if $2k for the entire stay which will never happen since the flights alone would be that for me and my family.

  • Russia continues work on homegrown game console despite technology and scale issues
  • I hate how accurate you are. There's no other reason it would be government backed ESPECIALLY during war time where they're pissing money away and losing their soldiers left and right without be able to fill the open spots.

  • Rule
  • I don't think that it's forgotten I think it's a great representation of flipping the roles around. Instead of leaving out LGBTQ+ they chose to have straight be the other this time.

  • my job has medicine that wakes you up if you've fainted
  • Everywhere I've worked has them however everywhere I worked has high temp work environments where passing out from hest exhaustion happens. They're always in the more expensive first aid kits though which I don't think are required.

  • Is there a way to make external links stand out?

    I'm looking to make links stand out by any means. I find myself always opening them and having something like YouTube or other video services open and start playing while in places where that's not ideal.

    Can banner we get banner ads adjusted?

    With the ad adjustment came these banner ads on the top of comment sections and they are atrocious so much so I don't bother reading comments anymore. They all have the obnoxious white backgrounds and they flicker since they move. It feels light no matter my phones britness they are blinding and since content doesnt get loads of comments the banner is just distracting while reading. I'm on board with ads as I haven't paid to remove but this specific style changes how I'm using sync now.
