  • I would make it so you can only use the replicators if you give someone an orgasm.

    Horny Star Trek would go hard.

    Heh

  • That's assuming his eyes even work in the first place. There isn't much evidence suggesting they do.

  • ...no I cannot imagine marrying JD Vance. Mostly because I'm a straight guy. Maybe the tax breaks would be nice tho who knows. I could get on his swanky government healthcare plan.

  • Ah that makes sense. Like the other guy said that just makes me think of time lol.

  • Luckily the 2 cats I live with right now are free feeders. They WILL let you know if they can see any part of the bottom of their food bowl or if their water is empty or has a speck of fluff in it, but other than that they are very chill cats in terms of feeding.

    My mom's cats growing up were basically raised as dogs so they would beg and pull human food off the table if you aren't looking. Any open glass of liquid would immediately have a cat paw inside it the microsecond you turned around. They would also eat the dog food and chew on the plants. Real shitheads. But we loved em.

  • What is that ":-" symbol next to the number? I thought they used "kr" as the symbol for their money?

  • Yeah idk why I always just went Road House --> Road Scholar in my head lol

  • Yeah I didn't dig very hard for how long ago he said it but I don't think it would matter how long ago he said it unless he was like 7 and daddy was tweeting for his kid or something lol

  • I keep making those comments about how people are going to respond around here because that's how they keep responding.

    I have noticed that comments or posts that had lots of upvotes will lose upvotes even on older comments in different threads on unrelated topics. Even comments I have made that align 100% with someone's sentiment will get downvoted because of a comment I left elsewhere that they disagreed with.

    Not to mention several people have outright told me they stalked my profile, looked at all my comments, checked to see how old my account was. They seem to be doing this in an attempt to discredit me because my account is new. Or they have no good rebuttal for our current conversation so they go find some other comment I made that they didn't like and try to use that against me.

    It's very concerning behavior and it's seemingly done by the majority of Lemmy users. I never look at anyones account age. I don't dig through their old comments. I just have whatever conversation they are having with me in that thread and I move on.

    Like I said. I am not going to discuss the trans athletes thing. You guys (yes I recognize I am generalizing because I have had this conversation so many times before with so many people) believe that you are 100% morally correct and scientifically correct so you go into the conversation already looking down on anyone that doesn't agree.

    She was lonely and sad. They lifted her up. When she changed her mind they shot her down. Friends don't cut you off when you change your mind about what you want to do with your own body. Especially so called "allies". I have seen it elsewhere as well. I know Lemmy users hate reddit, but take a gander at the r/detrans sub. Talk to some of those users. They will tell you that they have never received any hate like the hate they got when they decided to detransition. I know that not all trans communities are going to be like that, but the loud ones certainly seem to be that way. Allies and love until you decide you want out. Then you are dead to them. I don't think they directly killed her or anything, but they absolutely had a hand in it. If they had supported her detransition who knows if she would still be around. Losing your entire friend and support group over night is debilitating to most people.

    I have talked to many someone's over the years. Not about her death specifically but I have been seeing therapists on and off for most of my life. I find most therapists to be completely useless. They have never actually helped me with anything. I keep searching for one that will actually do anything, but so far I've either had bad luck or my type of problems can't be resolved with traditional therapy. They always tell me things I already know about myself and they give me solutions I already know how to utilize or are known to be ineffective for me. I appreciate the concern but death has never really bothered me. I was happy for my cousin and my aunt. Not because I wanted them dead or anything, but because they are both finally at peace. They had both been struggling for so long, but now they aren't.

    My mom and sister took it really hard but they had each other to rely on at that time. My brother and I both have much less emotion around death and loss. Not really sure why but it is what it is.

  • I'm generally against holding people to the stupid shit they said as teenagers but the stuff he was saying goes a little beyond typical edgy stupid teenager crap. "I would never marry outside me ethnicity" isn't a even fringe trying to be funny by being racist type of comment. That's just someone who is racist through and through. Probably raised by racists as well. Typically kids don't just fall outta the sky being that racist to begin with. That's a learned behavior.

  • It's Rhode scholar? I've been typing it wrong for like 20 years and nobody ever corrected me. God dammit.

  • No I do not think they have overthrown the government as of yet. They ran on the promise they were going to do this. People voted for that knowing that's what they were doing. They were lawfully given power and starting doing exactly what they said they were going to do.

    Now I will not pretend that I understand the exact legality of the precise details. As I understand it they only have "read" access to financial records and they are pointing out what they deem to be waste and then the president is signing off on closing,shrinking, firing, restructuring or whatever.

    I know the Democrats are claiming everything they have done is illegal, but I hesitate to take the Democrats at their word on that one because much of what has been uncovered does not look good for the Democrats. Especially the ones that have been around far too long such as Elizabeth Warren and Nancy Pelosi. Seeing Elizabeth Warren screaming about how illegal it all is in the same speech where she defends big pharma and then makes blatantly false claims about their profit margins just comes across as them trying to throw everything at the wall in the hopes that any of it sticks while also attempting to defend their own self interests.

  • I wouldn't consider myself a transphobe, but I'm sure you will say I am. I have no problems with trans adults doing their own thing.

    I do take issue with the competitive athlete situation. I am not even gonna bother attempting that conversation around here because it is abundantly clear that you guys believe you are both morally and scientifically correct across the board on that topic. I'm not gonna waste my energy even attempting that debate.

    I also don't believe kids should be allowed to make permanent and life altering decisions like that. We won't let them do drugs, vote, drive, get tattoos, get piercings, see R rated movies, serve in the military, work, skip school and many other things but sudden they are mature enough to make permanent decisions about their bodies and lives? I know that will also likely make you label me as a transphobe, but frankly I don't care. Kids should never be making those types of permanent choices for themselves when their brains aren't fully developed.

    I lost a cousin to the trans movement. She was gay, lonely and depressed. The trans community welcomed her with open arms. She eventually came out as a guy. She got top surgery and started hormone treatments, but a few years later she realized it was a mistake and she wanted to detransition. Those same people that had welcomed her with open arms all turned on her and shunned her. She got even more depressed due to losing all her friends and she eventually killed herself a few years ago. Hung herself in her closet with an extension cable. In her note she wrote about how she had been pressured by the community. She had been encouraged by the doctor. She hated that her femininity had been taken from her while she was not of sound mind. She felt taken advantage of by the movement, her old friends and the doctors that cut her body and gave her drugs.

    Her mom just killed herself last year because of her daughter killing herself a few years ago. Didn't leave a note but she had been writing about wanting to see her daughter again in her diary. I didn't read the diary myself but my mom read through her sister's diary after we finally cleared out her apartment and storage container. That was a really hard day for my mom and she's still not over having lost her niece and sister.

    I genuinely do not have any hatred or fear or anything else that people often assume about me in this context. I just believe that it's not something children should be participating in at all and they never should have been allowed in women's competitive spaces to begin with.

    I said I was an open book and I stand by what I believe in. You can believe that makes me a bigoted hateful person if you want. I know what kind of person I am.

  • I mean I guess depending on what definition of coup you are using.

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/coup

    First definition... No. It's hasn't been violent and they didn't overthrow anyone. They were elected (well Trump was) and ran on the promise of doing exactly what they have been doing.

    Second definition.... Maybe. It depends on if you think this has been or will be "highly successful". It has definitely been sudden. Some would probably call it brilliant.

    Now I know that a coup doesn't require violence so you don't need to mention that.

    It's not a self coup (yet) so that one's off the able.

    Again if you wanna say it's brilliant and successful sure that coup definition would fit I suppose. It's brilliance has yet to be confirmed and who knows if it'll be successful.
