It does sound crazy, but some of their echo chambers have spent YEARS repeating two conflicting messages 1) we need to use violence to "fix" the country and 2) anyone who actually tries to organize any activity is an FBI member trying to arrest people. It's true that a sane person still wouldn't try to go kill politicians by themselves, but it's no surprise to me that some of those members eventually do come to the "I am the only person who can fix this" conclusion.

To get out of those spirals, I just remind myself that I've probably forgotten hundreds of things other people probably regret saying/doing, and odds are most people probably forgot mine. Even if I'm sure someone didn't forget it, I doubt they ever think about it anymore.

Even if he played Sorry, when he knocked someone back to start when they were on the home stretch, he probably STILL wouldn't even say "Soooooorrrryyyy!" in a super sarcastic voice, like you are supposed to do.

I feel like besides being a silly title, I feel like it would rub me the wrong way if I worked at that company with any other title.

Because of the implication.

Probably a good time to stock up on toilet paper and N95's!

But then how do you poop if no one is begging? Uhh, asking for a friend.

Side of bed debate - Which side is left?

Which side of the bed is the left side? Is the answer based on the perspective of laying in the bed (person's head at the head end)? Is the answer based on viewing it from the foot of the bed, looking at the head of the bed? Is there an "anatomical position" or special terminology like in boating for this?...

calabast ,

Ah, but as you say, people only care when they're "going to" lay in it, meaning they're not in the bed yet. Once you're in bed, you pretty much never need to specify the left or right side, you can say "shit, i spilled a drink on your side!"

So, since we only care about left and right sides while we're not in bed, I say who cares about the in-bed perspective. What matters is how it is oriented while you're standing up and looking at it. So that's how I'd assign left and right side.

After the only hospital in town closed, a North Carolina city directs its ire at politicians ( apnews.com )

Weeds have punctured through the vacant parking lot of Martin General Hospital’s emergency room. A makeshift blue tarp covering the hospital’s sign is worn down from flapping in the wind. The hospital doors are locked, many in this county of 22,000 fear permanently....

I'd suggest we add Insurance to the list, but I guess if the things you listed weren't for profit, we might not NEED insurance.

Ahhh, excellent news. I already feel less hungry!

He IS our president.

Babies can think before they can talk 🤷‍♂️

calabast ,

Ah sorry, I think I misread your previous comment as if you were saying you had to have words to think, maybe implying other people were not correct when they said they didn't have words? And I was trying to say it was possible, but I see you weren't actually trying to argue that now, so nvm!

I also don't think I'm a words person. Sometimes I'll talk out loud to myself while I'm doing something, and I definitely CAN think my thoughts as words in my head, but yeah usually I just do stuff without it. I mean to some degree everyone does things without brain words, right? If you're getting ready for bed, so you think "now I need to stand up, now I move my left foot, now my right, now I move my right arm to pick up the toothbrush". Like, you have to take some actions without narrating them, right? We're just like that, but more so 😄

It's friends with, like, eight people.

Fuck, I'd probably even still pay for it.

Ok Cupid (but this was 10+ years ago, I hear it's gotten shittier since then 🙁)

Because I like to think I'm a badass but really I'm just ridiculous (but in a funny way).

Well they did say "trying"

How about "it's easier then shaving everyday"?

The Lyrics Game - Where AI tests you lyrical prowess ( lemmy.ml )

This is a new community I just discovered that I’m having a blast with. Images are generated using AI that’s fed the entire lyrics of a song. Test your lyrical chops by trying to decipher the small clues in the photo that are directly tied to the lyrics. It’s a blast. ...

calabast ,

Is there a good way to view the images without having seen the title first?

Or like when Floridans voted to allow anyone who finished their prison sentence to be allowed to vote again, and FL gov said "how about we implement a poll tax instead?"

calabast ,

I don't live there anymore, but I was pretty pissed when they circumvented what we voted for. (It would have added a ton of dem votes, and probably pushed it to a solid blue state, which is why I guess they needed to do anything to stop it)

18+ Am I a disgusting person?

When I was 13 years old I did something very wrong. Back in the day in my middle school was fucked up trend: slaping girl's asses. I didn't have the courage to do it myself so when we had family reunion I decided to practice with my 5 years old cousin. When I was playing with her I slightly spanked her butt over the clothes...

calabast ,

You did something due to peer pressure at an age when kids are obsessed with fitting in. In the course of doing so, you realized it was wrong and you stopped. Even now, presumably years later, you still feel bad about it. I'd say you're good, every single one of us has done things (often involving inappropriate actions) we look back on and regret. You're fine.

The bill says the use of force is "justifiable" if a defendant believes that criminal trespass, robbery, or "unlawful camping" is occurring on their property.

Great, so not only does it let them shoot homeless people, it lets them do it even if they "believe" it's happening. So you can just shoot someone on your property for no reason at all, and say "well, I though they were performing a robbery".
