Just remember Russia.

Everyones a gangster until the snow starts speaking Finnish.

Thats the big giveaway. Nobody shouts those particular words quite like us.

Its not as bad as the overpriced clothing store “Bazaar Boutique Emporium”

Which is basically all white linen clothing.

Theres a hairdressers near me that is “Bespoke hair artistry” or some other pretentious bullshit.

I sometimes say “I could care less, but not by much”

If its a budhist baby I’m putting that little shit out of the park. He will be reincarnated, my conscience is clear. /s

I think that in a practical sense theres also a difference between drinking water and water to top up a swimming pool or run a sprinkler for hours a day to keep your lawn perfect.

Policing or regulating this in any meaningful way would be a nightmare but its a legitimate counterpoint.

Getting windmill dunked on by 50 Cent.

I write parody lyrics all the time, they are childish and incredibly vulgar.

Like the time I off the top of my head changed the lyrics to “I want to break free” to “I want to fuck Steve” and serenaded my buddy Steven. I made it through most of the song with it being pretty close.

I said “I need to write that down” and Steve was like “Nah, spontaneously that shit was funny. Writing it down would just make it weird” I was inclined to agree.

Theres something enormously satisfying about asking the question “And are you willing to give me that in writing?”

Then watching them squirm as something in their brain goes full Ackbar “ITS A TRAP!”

Americans like their cars like their school supplies. Fully automatic.

IMO the guy kind of has a point but mostly not.

Take website builders like Squarespace and stuff like that, you can be super good at using the tools to generate an excellent looking page and do it in a fraction of the time it might take someone else. Sure its a skill, one you probably spent time and effort developing, but it doesnt make you a web developer and if someone uses the tools to exactly copy your work pretty much exactly, yeah that sucks but your just using someone elses tools.

Or building a really cool and “unique” car using off the shelf aftermarket parts. Theres literally nothing stopping someone else just doing the same thing using your car as a template.

I get the “why” he is upset, but… I dont care.

Good Evening Sir, Welcome to Lemmy. We dont do escapism or banter here. Please feel free to enjoy any of our flavours of outrage. The “software privacy” is quite popular, we are quite well known for billionaires and capitalism, of course we do a range of modern outrage classics including American politics, environmental issues and American healthcare which let me assure you isnt just for our American customers.

The specials board currently contains a lovely selection of Shit Israel has done, Shit Musk has done and Companies making money off advertisements hate you blocking advertisements.

Can I start you off with some I dont own games I buy on Steam! or perhaps some advice on why Linux is superior to literally everything.

Except you cant use that one to dothe crumbly ground beef trick. They are good if you only ever use them to mash potatoes.

Not just A potato masher, its THE potato masher. If you dont have that thick af metal wire one you have an inferior potato masher.

Great, now he and I have something in common.

Edit: her looks are about the least offensive thing about her, sorry. The terrible person is pretty hot. If it helps I’ll wipe my dick on the curtains and give her a fake number.

I didnt know this until recently either. Its interesting once you start to read the ingredients breakdown on things that have “Protein!” on the label only to realise that (like on the oats I dont buy anymore) it had 4 grams per serving of protein more, but it was just added wheat gluten which has a PDCAAS of .25 so like an extra gram of protein thats actually useful for muscle building…

I hate to be all “ackchually” but wheat protein kind of sucks for muscle building. Its only about 50% as digestable and effective as the best sources, its still a better source than processed AF white bread if you cant give up the sandwiches. A great many “protein enhanced” things like oats just dump in a bunch of wheat gluten.

It still mostly counts towards your daily goals for average people but anyone looking for “gains” should be aiming to get 50% from “high quality” sources like milk protein, eggs, meat and soy.

I saw an interview with some exercise scientists talking about studies done on people who lived in rural less developed environments, think shepherds in developing countries. The studies indicated that while they may do 30,000 steps a day their body physiologically adapts and changes their movement paterns very quickly to use the absolute minimum amount of energy possible to move around. So their energy expenditure was more like what someone who walks 15,000 steps a day of stop start a day.

My wife and I got engaged 3 days out from our europe trip for a month, afterwards of everywhere we went we agreed “Fuck Paris”.
