Wait. The smoking age was raised to 21?? When tf did this happen?

Edit: it was the very end of 2019, right as COVID was getting started.

Can someone explain me USA obsession with prom and similar school rituals?

I just don't get it... Why is that important, especially for kids now, that feel like they need to do a YouTube video asking for a date or doing some meme stuff. Some teens even hire the hottest celebrity or ask them to appear in their prom? This is so bizarre for me, all that just for a frivolous night....

Starb3an ,

As a Texan, I can absolutely attest to this

Louisiana band shellfish??? Not in a million years

Starb3an ,

Came to say this. That dub is hilarious.

Also Ghost in the Shell is my favorite.

Machine maintenance / Macgyver. We make air filters and I have to make sure the machines that make them are running.

I also do any other random jobs. Currently I'm creating a simple webpage to submit machine issues that get sent to a Google sheet and an email sent out.

I also machine metal replacement parts. Of course I make any personal projects I want to as well.

I saw this and was very confused. I was thinking, "well mine just has two balls that unscrew from either end and pull it out" then I realized they're talking about a different ring for a cock

Starb3an ,

This is why I use a trackball mouse when on the couch.

My comfort clothes are jeans. I wear them year round in Houston Texas. I'm also pale as a ghost.

I'm not much of a jorts man

This one floored me.

Starb3an ,

Had a relative that worked on them there.

That's the reason I'm working so hard to get my degree. More prospects elsewhere when I have a degree. Hopefully all the way out of the US.

Oak tree. Destroys slabs like no other.

War on Gaza: US courts must hold Biden accountable ( www.middleeasteye.net )

While President Joe Biden recently said that “no one is above the law”, in response to guilty verdicts in former President Donald Trump’s hush-money trial, his administration is seemingly committed to shielding Israel from accountability at any cost - even if that means tearing apart the rules-based international order....

Starb3an ,

The US courts? As in the US supreme court? Then one that's bought and paid for?

Take money out politics and our court system or they will continue to do whatever they and the corporations want.

.....I just looked up and read "world court" so my rant is a tangent, vut I still stand by it.

Did way too many drugs and dropped out

11 years sober and hoping to graduate this semester

Do you use both a personal desktop and laptop?

I'm moreso curious if laptop functions have been offloaded to phones. If you have a full gaming desktop, do you see the use case for an additional laptop? or if most people here don't see the need for the increased processing power of a desktop, do you just use your laptop and a phone?...

Starb3an ,

Desktop for gaming or any intense programs, laptop for studying and other browsing I want to do on the couch, phone I use for most chatting at work and with family and friends and looking things up on the go and doom scrolling. Also, phone has lots of audio books

Red Lights or Leaves of Grass.

Why does this look like screenshots from Robocop?

Starb3an ,

That would be the same as security cam footage from a retirement home. I imagine one of them just randomly walking away at one point.

How did you come up with your username?

I’ll go first, it’s simple, the Internet is literally an open field where anyone can do whatever they want.

Starburst Jellybeans. My favorite.

The arrests are not meant for cases, they're an intimidation tactic.

Starb3an ,

I live in Houston. Everything is clay. That shit gets stuck to your shovel and does not come off.

That being said, we had some woods behind our house and we would play out there all the time. Digging, pellet guns, machetes to chop down trees and make forts.

Starb3an ,

When I was younger I thought a fast silent car would be awesome. Now we have electric super cars which is basically the same thing.

Starb3an ,

That was my thought too

Starb3an ,

I'll reiterate what most have said. They're not a reoccurring problem and you forget about them after a bit. As for direct contact with the anus, depends on how your body is shaped. If it's puckered in, then it won't. If it's flush with the curve of your inner crack, then it will. I never really paid attention to it.

Starb3an ,

Can confirm this is true. Or it's a man listed as a woman. Not trans, just a spam account.

Starb3an ,

Welp. Time to update now that I have a complete list.

Starb3an ,

There's a Torchys Tacos that I often go to and they have the same thing, minus the cool sign changing.

Starb3an ,

I can see this being accurate. I've seen it where cars are jammed up before the road narrows and free flowing by the time the road actually narrows. The largest road block (pun intended) to this that I see is driver competency, and people letting them in.

Starb3an ,

Krogers brand Mac n cheese is the best

Starb3an ,

I do machine repair in the evening shift. If nothing is broken, I generally don't have much to do. They don't bitch too hard because they know if shit goes down, I'll work 16 hrs on a Saturday to get it working. I have access to a metal mill and lathe and spend a lot of down time learning and creating personal projects on it. Hell, I built a wooden bedframe and no one said a thing.

Starb3an ,

This surprises no one.

Do you consider Demolition Man to be cyberpunk? ( lemmy.zip )

Demolition Man takes place in a world with a large income gap, where the rich (or at least the middle class) live on the surface while the poor (or at least those wanting to be "free") live underground. And there's a lot of futuristic tech involved (like cyber sex!). But this is primarily a story about political correctness in...

The damned 3 sea shells

Starb3an ,

My parents rent out a room to a traveling nurse since my brothers and I moved out, the space was just going to waste. I'm not positive on what she pays, but I think it's around $500.

My parents and grandparents own rent houses. They're active property managers. Most fixes they do themselves. My summers growing up were working on them.

I think the difference between what they do and the corporate owned apartment I'm staying in is the "personal touch" (for lack of a better term). When the owners have never even seen the property, they see renters as numbers on paper instead of people.

Starb3an ,

If they all quit, I think it will show how little congressmen actually know and do.

Starb3an ,

Audiobooks mainly. I fix machines or create my own diy projects with my hands so I can continue it's much easier to consume.

If the series I'm listening to is really good, I end up subscribing to their patreon and reading chapters as soon as they release them.

A mostly male board will decide whether a Nebraska lawmaker faces censure for sexual harassment ( apnews.com )

A Nebraska lawmaker implored the Legislature’s Executive Board on Thursday to hold a colleague accountable for invoking her name in a graphic reading on the legislative floor, which some say constitutes sexual harassment....

If there's that little bite, he should also have to provide an apology for the record.

I immediately thought of this.

Starb3an ,

I'm from Texas. 90% of the people here are shit.

Starb3an ,

Audiobooks are my go to. I work with my hands all day and having an audiobook is great for non-stop listening.

When I get super into a series I'll end up reading ahead on my phone from royal road or patreon.

If I have the time, I'll do an e-reader or a book. They're about even.

I was curious as to why Amazon trucks were in the parked in formation
