“I don’t understand, if you don’t want crushed orphans, just don’t toss them in the orphan crushing machine”

Well maybe they shouldn’t have an orphan crushing machine in the first place.

An M72 LAW rocket launcher tube, sitting in the center of the living room, on end. No coffee table, just that sitting upright in between the couch and TV.

The petco groomer decided to shave my dogs’ entire ass because he “didn’t want to brush out butt tangles today”, his exact words when we went to collect our dog.

He’s a great Pyrenees Collie mix.

His hair went from long and silky with an undercoat, to frizzy, thick, unmanageable mess that has to be brushed twice a day to prevent mats.

Congrats bitch, now my dog will never have his hair be normal again because you didn’t want to do your job right.

Same! I had a pregnancy scare a few weeks ago, but I’m back on my period again with my nonexistent uterus. Phew.

So tell me, what do you do? It’s not quite clear to me…

Those are some very nice wooden bowls. And more!

Like for real. What kind of sealer do you use?

People are a bit nicer in general here, I think, although certain niche subreddit were far more welcoming to newcomers.

I’ve only had two people on lemmy so far tell me my thoughts are stupid without bothering to explain why they feel this way, and only one person has assumed they know my life from a single comment. (homer_so_far.gif)

I have yet to see a single interaction where someone has changed someone else’s mind in an amicable and polite way with both thanking each other for their time though.

I tend to focus less on news post comments though. Someone calling me an idiot because I don’t blindly support something or someone doesn’t phase me.

Someone breaking down my comment about why Picard is a better starfleet captain than Commander Sisko and giving me reasons why I’m stupid for thinking that? That’ll stay with me for a few days.

Perhaps I just don’t interact unless it seems like the general vibe agrees with me, and therefore people are more likely to be nice, because I don’t like rejection and mean comments are just different kinds of rejection, so I hide in places I know will like me.

0 reason to interact when you know there’s a good chance you will come out unhappy, I get it.

I honestly wonder how many police forces in the US got their start because of slavery.

Even if you are 100% in the right the billion dollar companies can bury you in legal fees until you run out of money.

100% Stochastic terrorism.

For anyone still confused Imagine the mafia boss being recorded saying “it would be a real shame in Vinny had himself an accident” and then that night one of the people who heard him say that broke vinny’s neck.

The mafia boss didn’t actually tell anyone to do anything. But the people around, knowing that’s what he really wants, acted anyway.

Oh for sure Hamas is deserving of all the hate and shit headed their way, regardless of anything else they still attacked. I’m just wondering if it could have been stopped and wasn’t as a pretense. Study indeed. Intensively by many countries cooperating preferably.

I’d be reeeeeeeal interested to know just how much of the HIGHLY publicized attacks against Israeli civilians were completely expected and ignored in order to justify the retaliation.

Honestly I don’t see how it could be LOWER. I have a very dim view of the US Healthcare system, particularly where insurance companies are concerned.

Why do the surgery that only has a 93% chance of success that will give the person use of their legs, that costs $250,000 when a $300 wheelchair will get them from A to B.

Given that I have had to wait MONTHS for an appointment before, and my primary care Dr I have to schedule 2 months in advance, when people complain that they’ll have to wait longer than a week to see a doctor I wonder who they fucked over to get Healthcare that quickly.

gestures wildly at the world ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND?

What a long winded way to say “I am a piece of shit who likes to see others suffer, because feel I am superior.”

Either you stand to unfairly gain from the current system, or you’re an idiot who not only listens to companies like Walmart tell you about “welfare queens” but buys it hook line and sinker.

Or you’re a troll, I guess.

Because if you think what you pay in premiums is less than what you’d pay with properly managed universal healthcare, you’re simply stupid. Not ignorant, stupid. Unable or unwilling to learn.

Did my union I joined when I got the job get me 15% more than the others already working there?

No.

Did I immediately get a little over 15% compared to similar job listing’s in the area, AND more than 18% more than my previous job?

Yes.
