Has this been poster anywhere they can see? Lemmy.world has defederated them. I wish we had an "other discussions" page to see where else a particular link has been posted, but I understand why that would be difficult to achieve in a decentralized environment.

Ooohhh I could definitely make this delicious. Well spiced red beans in a mushroom and chicken stroganoff. The beans and mushrooms would replicate some of the umami that beef has over chicken.

It's just weirdly comfy like this for now. You ever get in a weird position and it just feels niiice? That arm is gettin the long stretch.

points at random new hire who has been allowed to work unsupervised for like three days

Well she did it for me last week!

Shit I got nothing for this. I listen to a lot of music, but the weird, jarring parts that others don't enjoy are usually written for me. When La Mala Ordina by clipping. broke down into terrible noises at the end, my wife thought something had happened to our speaker. She thought the echo had gone fucking haywire mid song. I was rocking the fuck out to the terrible noises >_>

Right? Like, I guess if one of my few friends got a serious brain injury and become a totally different, terrible person, I'd sob for hours, maybe days, mourning the person I lost. But that's the caliber of life event it would take. None of these people are going to get a new job or new partner and become a murderous bigot. Often this sort of change in a person is predicated by something personal, someone in their life from the relevant group hurts them. But I'm the truama informed friend that everyone comes to when fucked up things happen. If someone deeply and personally hurt one of my friends to the point that it could change them as a person, they'd be on my couch, smoking my weed, processing with me.

I just really don't see any of the small group of gay women and stoners in my life turning against me like that. It would literally be a shift from friends to voting for my death. My least favorite politicians don't just believe things I disagree with. They may not be able to say it publicly, but they want me dead. Even if we were no longer friends, I don't think anyone in my small circle would vote for anyone to be systematically eliminated. Hell, many of them would themselves be in the sights of the same politicians. My best friend would probably be the other type of girlfriend to me if she wasn't in a long term relationship when we met.

My least favorite politicians literally want me to not exist. They want me erased, exterminated, gone. It's extraordinarily unlikely for me to end up friends with someone who would vote for that sort of person to begin with. Given my volitile political position, this question just feels goofy to me. People I consider friends are a rarefied order, a small and select group. I would be shaken to my core to find out that one of them felt this way. It would destroy my sense of reality and grasp of the world. I'd wonder if I was schizophrenic. But I really don't think that's going to happen. People aren't my friends if they don't support my rights, nevertheless my existence.

I'm a serious Merrell enthusiast. I love their trail glove line, especially anything with the Trail Glove 3 soles. I'm wearing my Power Gloves right now, which are weird rare high tops. I also have a pair of Trail Glove 5s. They're not quite as comfortable as the 3 sole style, but they are so high performance it's ridiculous. No matter how or where my foot lands, I have both grip and mobility. My dream shoes are Wildlings, with the split soles. But there aren't a bunch of those on ebay like there are Merrells, so I can't just keep and beat up multiple pairs.

What sort of shoe do you usually find comfortable? Do you have wide or narrow feet? Is your arch deep or shallow?

I have exclusively worn barefoot, minimalist shoes for ~5 years now. I have never had a foot injury. If anything, I experience significantly less back and knee pain since making the change. I have an old martial arts injury in my right knee. As long as I wear primarily barefoot shoes, it never passively hurts anymore. As long as I don't make a habit of it and go right back to my Merrells, I can wear heels all day without any joint pain because my joints are stronger and healthier than they used to be. I don't have trouble with sharp things, in part because I look where I'm stepping, but also in part because I can feel what I'm stepping on before I put my weight down. I don't often go barefoot outside the house because I live in a dirty city, but I am a full time barefoot shoes convert. It's the obnoxious thing I tell people the benefits of all the time because I know so many people in constant pain who wear big old bulky sneakers and boots.

No house scorpions where I grew up, and I've always been a shoes off immediately inside person, but mental illness always dictated that my mother wear shoes all day every day in the deep south. She had the fungal toenails to prove it >_>

Yeah, I'll give good tips for good service of mediocre food. The Alamo has some of the hardest working servers in the industry. I don't care how good or bad the food is (usually good, but the overall amazing buffalo cauliflower can be inconsistent) if you crawl on the floor to give me my bill without blocking the movie for the person next to me, you get a good tip.

You could have communicated much more clearly. It was not at all clear that you understood the post and wanted to have a specific side discussion. It read like you were taking the post at face value to discuss the failure of IQ testing. It especially even more like a misunderstanding because the post wasn't even about IQ tests, but standardized tests. In fact, your top level post and this one I'm responding to both felt snide to me. First snide about the graph and IQ tests, then snide about the fact that people didn't understand your unclear communication. You came off as one of those snide reddit users zooming past the post to make a point, especially with your aggressive defenses. Slow down. Consider your messaging more carefully. We are here to have conversation. Make sure you are too.

Angry upvote?

They're not mutually exclusive states. You can be part of the traffic, but if you can't get out, you're still stuck in it. You're part of traffic but not stuck in it if and only if you have the opportunity to exit the traffic experience.

Most of the original nazis were poor white trash with whatever the cultural equivalent of meth mouth was at the time. Socioeconomic factors were a major motivation for WWII. When you're poor, you must be hypervigilant against the allure of fascism. Progress always has a human cost, but we can't recklessly commit to destruction in the name of token or thoughtless self enrichment.

EDIT: Meth Moth sounds like a Venture Bros villain. He's got no teeth, but he has the frantic energy of ten villains!

Make sure you keep an eye out for him. He might come back to visit!

Good bot.

Fuck yeah. It's an apt description of the specific way in which I am a menace.

Right off hand there's Witchy Memes but I meant just as much off Lemmy as on.
