I only know one guy who is into blacksmithing and - being a nerd myself, I saw this with kindness - but this dude is a super nerd. He’s also one of the scrawniest dudes I know. I’ve heard him tell women that he’s into blacksmithing before and it definitely does not have the desired effect that this chart would imply.
You always have to consider Rule #1 when taking these things into account.
My middle-school aged kids explained the difference between cooked and cookin’ to me the other day, and now they really get to roll their eyes when I intentionally use them in as corny ways as possible.
Bonus points for coming with other, terrible, slang. You can really get a cringe if you say something like "Chat, we’re cookin’ now - I’m all rizzed up”
…the worst impulses of Hitler and the Nazis could be “controlled” or “tamed” once they bore responsibility for leading the national government (rather than criticizing others’ administration of it).
I’m sure it’ll be different this time around /s
Sunk cost fallacy hits people hard.
It’s true. I never deleted my reddit posts and comments because I spent like 13 years with that account. A part of my brain says “don’t delete those, you might need them later.” It’s like a natural hording instinct.
Keep in mind that’s Income Tax. Most rich people don’t actually have income, they have capital gains.
Lol yeah, except the Apple guy’s name is actually Tim Cook. But then Trump called him Tim Apple and it became a meme.
His build up to the announcement cracked me up:
Is there an app? I use Voyager and Sync for Lemmy.
I feel like we need some data points. That was definitely true in Colorado.
At this point, I’d also just say Ender 3 printers. You can get them for a hundred bucks now. They’re not as fancy as the newer 3d printers with auto-leveling, remote printing, dual extruders, etc. But they get the job done just fine.
Lol this guy over here using the stars to navigate.
Anyone that says anything other than Choco Taco is a coward.
This is the best part about growing up in Colorado. The mountains are west. It’s like having a cheat mode compass enabled all the time.
Goddamn Peppa Pig is indoctrinating our youth!
Fucked the shit out of bears
Instant karma. Love it.
It’s this type of thinking that is the reason our country is so fucked.
“If climate change is so bad, I’ll just move somewhere else.” Yeah but what about all the billions of other people in affected areas?
“If you need an abortion, just fly to another state where it’s allowed.” Yeah but what about people that are too poor, in an abusive relationship, or need an abortion immediately?
“If we get rid of Obamacare, my insurance will be so much cheaper.” Yeah because they can immediately throw off anyone that actually relies on their insurance to stay alive.
The examples are literally endless. People vote like they’re the only person that exists and fuck everyone else. They’re the worst. And apparently there’s a whole lot of them.
I remember like a year or two ago when they officially announced these products are LESS effective than a placebo. How the hell is it taking so long to get them off the shelves?
The flight from Denver to Las Vegas is just over an hour. I was meeting some friends in Vegas for a bachelor party and texted them saying I was taking off. The conversation went like this:
Me: Flight is taking off now, will text you when I get in.
Friend: Just sat down at the blackjack table at Treasure Island. See you in a bit.
Time skip ahead to me landing.
Me: Just landed. You still at Treasure Island?
Friend: I’m down 4 grand. Went back to the hotel.
Haha I’m right there with you. It’s like someone going “Hey, remember when you used to do heroin and hate yourself? I know you’ve gone to rehab and cleaned yourself up, but wanna try this new Heroin-Lite?”
