That really sucks. I had a hockey coach like that. If you weren't in the main group, he either ignored you or humiliated you in front of other kids. I was a passable defense player and he only cared about forwards so I mostly escaped unnoticed but several friends and I stopped playing hockey because of this guy. In the league we were in they kept teams together and we kept getting him as coach. We were 13 or 14 at this point and it just wasn't fun anymore which sucks because we all loved hockey but he was just such a bullying prick.

I had a teacher accuse me on front of the entire class (university) of helping the guy who say behind me cheating from my test. He used the word "collusion".

I had words with the guy who had in fact cheated off me after class, outside. He told the prof I didn't help him. I also made it clear he shouldn't sit behind me in front of everyone at the next class.

The prof had it in for me because he completely screwed up the time period of this sort story and I was able to explain why because of a song and artist specifically mentioned for that purpose by the author.

It stands out because he accused me of cheating in front of everyone. I was 25 years old at the time, used to working with people who would literally fight you for impuning their character like that, and it just really made me angry. I'm pretty chill most of the time.

I was told by some mouth foaming Putin fan on the other site that when the tanks were running out of fuel and breaking down on the road in the early days that it was all part of the plan. Yup, all part of the plan. Sigh. Turns out it wasn't and here we are.

At some point, we have to take the toys away from the children. No more war.

I was thinking hairy and so on. Thank you for correcting me.

We're a blend of Scottish and Acadian French. The term I used makes no sense. Sorry, long day.

This happens to me sometimes as I lived in enough places that I understand a lot of common stuff in various European languages even though I don't speak them beyond ordering a beer or whatever.

Finally, an educated person.

Not Brazil but my brother lived in a similar climate and showered before work, at lunch (everyone went home at lunch most days), and before bed.

He also had a massive stack of undergarments which included white t-shirts. He would sometimes change shirts more than he showered. For context he had to wear office attire but could wear Bermuda shorts.

Further context, we are swarthy Canadians that sweat when we eat a sandwich but he's was really thin/fit at the time. Still sweaty.

Thank you for explaining this.

Really shocked no one has mentioned Sync For Lemmy!

Same dev that built the legendary Sync for Reddit app. Very stable builds with be QoL and other features showing up regularly.

I was raised by religious parents and they did not do this. Conservative activist doesn't equal religious and vice versa.

Edit: I was more thinking about the type of religious that ignores all the stuff that would make society better. :)

Libs hate these and insist on using woke, forward pointing guns. They want to make these more manly guns illegal and force us to buy their pathetic "aimable" guns. Check your local gunshop. They'll insist they don't even sell these and never heard of them. The NRA is in on it.

Yes, agreed. It's not like it's a big city but it's big enough that it was obvious this was either a blatant cash grab or complete mismanagement (laziness/incompetence). Guessing the latter.

I was visiting family in the city I grew up in and we decided to go to this place that now charges for parking. It's a city lot. I figured I have to get this app to park. The city app.

First, it was a nightmare of horrible bad UX and half-assed customization. Second, it took about 15 minutes of bs to pay for parking (time outs, a couple 2fa's, we need you to use a social but we haven't set up that login path correctly). Finally, get parking paid, my wife is losing her mind thinking I'm an idiot because it took so long, and then the spam calls started. I literally wasn't into the building and I was getting spam texts and robo calls. I'm not talking "goods and services I might like" , this was "Canadian border services has determined you have unpaid fines" voicemails and "hi, i just found your number again can u text" type stuff. Just wild.

As someone who grew up in Canada during the transition to metric, I think I might go into an infinite loop if I moved to the US. Ok the temp is 72 f which is 22 C which is 72 f which is...

I once heard a guy say "Men have two emotions: hunger and anger."

Pretty sure the first amendment just prevents the government from looking at the sky orb.

Definitely inhalation.

I'm going to raise you to be a strong and independent person but increasing my already almost total control even further.

An upvote was insufficient. This is world class ranting.

Here's a link to a page that was gone before I finished copying the url and doesn't forward anywhere.
