He doesn't owe us anything, but I wish he would at least be honest and say, "hey y'all, sorry but I'm not really interested in these books anymore".

Oatly is an ok brand, but their product is oily garbage that pales in comparison to many other plant based milks, especially homemade.

Hey Kieth, did you spend our entire marketing budget registering web domains?

Maybe they're intentionally avoiding four panels so that people won't make tired jokes about the format. It's a lossless image format.

Piano music intensifies

Right on, I'll check it out. I've also watched a lot of Nautilus Files on YouTube. He does some great character and theory breakdowns.

And agreed on Ricken being an amazing character (caricature?). The fact that >!the severed employees find his book and it becomes their new Bible!< was so perfect.

Are you talking about my comment specifically, or in general?

Posting on Lemmy.

Absolutely. I was just responding to OP's examples which all feature men.

An evolutionary biologist might argue that all of these are done in the service of being able to have sex:

• Gotta make money so I can live comfortably and keep having sex.
• Gotta defend my country because all of the women who want to have sex with me live there.
• Man, chicks dig firefighters. I'm gonna have so much sex.

Haven't seen anyone mention Severance, which is one of my more recent obsessions. Everyone I watched the first episode with bounced off pretty hard, saying it was too weird. Man the payoff is amazing though, everything slowly ramping up to a crescendo in the final couple of episodes. Highly recommended if you like early Black Mirror.

Call me old fashioned, but an outgoing president who falsely claims their challenger stole the election and incites their supporters to storm the capitol building should be barred from holding office again, Democrat or Republican.

"Hey nice time machine, wanna go to Stephen Hawking's time traveller party?"

"Naw, I heard that shit was lame and nobody showed up. Let's go shoot JFK again."

Nepo baby born with an emerald spoon in his mouth and spent his life failing upwards acts like therapy is a character flaw.

Then the government should fund independent organizations that are committed to responsible gun ownership in marginalized communities.

I don't give a shit how good people think they are with guns. They should have to prove they know what they're doing to own one.

Hard agree on the gun safety test. Buying a gun, especially in the US, is way too easy and the number of people walking around strapped with absolutely no knowledge of gun safety, let alone armed self defense training, is terrifying.

My wife's family leans very hard into the guns, god and Trump right wing. My father in law set up a shooting range on his property, and it's a tradition for the cousins to get together and show off their arsenal. I keep a pistol there because it's a hellava range gun and the 22LR rounds are dirt cheap, but you can imagine the shit I catch in a family where 9mm is considered a "pussy round".

The amount of stupid shit I've seen on this range would boggle your mind, and I feel a deep responsibility to make sure nobody dies while I'm there. I've seen people walk in front of the range with earmuffs on while someone was getting ready to shoot. I had to stop my father in law from breaking his thumb trying to shoot a Glock with his thumb resting right on the slide. I watched my uncle-in-law (a Republican state senator, mind you) hand a loaded AR-15 to his ten year old son, then just walk away.

Having a gun for self defense fucks with your head. When my wife and I lived in a relatively rural area, I used to keep a shotgun under our bed for protection, but I eventually got rid of it. Never shot it a single time, but you'd better believe every time I cleaned it or moved it or just remembered I had it, I was imagining the horrible situation I might be forced to use it in. That shit low key fucked me up. Strange sound in the middle of the night? Better grab the gun.

I can't even begin to imagine carrying one on me, especially in public. I like to think I have a pretty level head, but some people are just waiting for you to look at them the wrong way so they finally have that moment. So frightened or psychotic or some combination of the two that their first instinct is to just start shooting. Hell, my wife's cousin-in-law got in a fucking shootout when he cut someone off in traffic.

Used to be very pro responsible gun ownership, but lately I'm thinking that level of responsibility is far too rare in people.

This begs the question (possibly a stupid question on my part since I'm not very knowledgeable on the topic): if he had a genital preference for wangs, and a sexual preference for trans women, would he in fact be considered straight, or is there another classification for this?

Just picture this man staring at himself in the mirror, chuckling silently as he imagines kissing himself, then pulling out his phone to tweet this...five goddamn times.
