Lol.

Get home from a work trip and go into a deep introvert-recharge cycle. Lots of sleep. Solo hobbies and comfort foods. The most socializing I will do is asynchronous texting with two particular people, everyone else is getting ignored for a couple days.

I think the community I miss on reddit is less and less feasible these days with anything and everything being scraped for privacy-violating databases.

I really enjoyed the small backpacking subs where people would post trip reports and photos of their campsites. Bonus if their adventure dog was also in the photo. They were very much a mix of humble-brag but also-the-world-is-awesome-celebrate-with-me positivity. There’s less of that here on Lemmy. And I can’t even be critical because I also stopped posting such things as much, I am way more cognizant of posting any photo, even if I’m not in frame, that could be used to identify me or be a data input to anyone’s file on me.

I used the word poesy in a written assignment, as in the art of poetry. The teacher didn’t recognize it as a real word and deducted points from my grade. She had a policy that we could correct and resubmit for half points, so I did that but didn’t change the word, I just helpfully gave her the definition in a footnote.

Shocked, naive, innocent little me didn’t not know what to think when she took that as an insult. I was only trying to help her, didn’t she get that?!?

This was one of a handful of events when my sister started implying I might have a neurospicy brain. IDK, maybe, but I was just being accurate so I didn’t really see that as anything I needes to address. I thought the overly-sensitive and factually incorrect teacher was the one who needed to self-reflect.

Pressing the crosswalk button over and over will make the light change faster.

I challenge Karl, King of Ducks, for his crown.

I would question your friend on what they are drinking and where.

The easiest to find Australian beer in the US is Fosters. But go to Australia and few people there actually drink it because it’s not good and there are so many better options.

I once traveled to the UK and had a Newcastle Brown straight from the tap and it was delicious. Went back home to the US and picked up some bottles, it was old and tasted like barely a shadow of the fresh UK stuff.

If I judged Australia or UK beers on what I can find easily in the US, I would also think their beers are ass.

So if he is trying only what he can get in his country, 1) it’s probably old and 2) it’s rarely the “best” a country has to offer.

8-12. They are were inexpensive, versatile protein.

About a week. There was a very early season snowstorm. Deciduous trees still had leaves and caught a lot of snow. The weight broke limbs which took down power lines everywhere. In older neighborhoods with above ground lines and mature oak trees, nearly every line and every house had to have crews working them.

Counterpoint: see similar IRL fuckwits in Texas progressing their similarly stupid agenda. Do not discount the fuckwits simply because they seem small in number and influence today.

Ha, I like your optimism that anti-abortion/anti-womens bodily autonomy types wouldn’t immediately try to start controlling the unfertile eggs. Plenty of them think contraceptives are evil after all, which is equivalent to discarding infertile eggs before they get fertilized.

We would see efforts to track women’s egg laying cycles and criminalize discarding them within the period they can still be fertilized. (See IRL Indiana attempting to make individual abortion reports public instead of as anonymized, aggregate data for studies).

Not sure I’ve noticed this one. As in a singular woman is called “women” or people dance around calling a woman “women” or say lady or female or something other than “woman”?

I’ve seen people uncomfortable with saying “woman” for some reason, but haven’t noticed if the same people say “women” or not.

My initial thought was “would chemists theoretically be less into labor protections than plumbers”?

I guess that puts me in a third bucket.

Capitalist.

I think it’s absolutely wild how archaic some systems are. And the worst offenders are those regulated by financial and medical industry laws. I have an account with one financial account that is protected only by password that is 12 characters max with special characters limited to just a few. I don’t know how they haven’t been breached and then sued into oblivion.

I’m fine with companies enforcing 2FA. Bitwarden is addressing the current weakest link in the chain: users.

I was going to point to this too. I haven’t seen a direct metric, but the data is there if someone wants to pull it out.

Heck, with video cameras going they could even generate an “engagement score” based on how much time a participant’s eyes are on the screen versus elsewhere. They don’t so far as I know, but again the data is there if they wanted to.

Feels like Fight Club to me where there is a subset of young men who like it, not recognizing it’s a parody. Then there’s people who get it and like it as a comedy. And the obviousness of which is which is not always clear, so you will never see me talking about whether I like it or not because it invites the first type.

Multiple upvotes on my comment indicates I’m not the only one tired of Boomer “shit on my partner” humor.

Before people get excited, search penal code 377. OP is misrepresenting it and slapping a rainbow over it.

377 is a anti-homosexuality law. Protections for men who have been raped are still needed, but are a separate issue from 377.

Here is the text of 377:

Unnatural offences: Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine. Explanation: Penetration is sufficient to constitute the carnal intercourse necessary to the offence described in this section.

No. Sometimes I have a computer in my dreams but it is usually useless.
