Did you get approached by any big tiddy goth girls?

America is the dysfunctional trailer park family that has put their 12 year spoiled brat child in charge of the park. Everyone hates him but they have to keep in place for some reason.

Same here … loved the app when it was active with Reddit … then followed the developer to Lemmy … disappointed that they abandoned it

Switched over to Summit and fully enjoying it on both my accounts on Lemmy and Piefed

Later that year, Sally did another school report on dinosaurs … on the thesaurus

You give rattles and shiny things to toddlers to keep them from damaging the furniture or falling down the stairs.

Stupidity-ception

He keeps doing stupid things … we keep accepting it … so he does even more stupid things … we keep accepting more

You are right … we’re all stupid all around

The stupid one is not Trump … chances are he knows how dumb this all is.

The stupid ones are the people who designed and organized all this, the American people who just take it as normal and all the supposed professionals everywhere in journalism and news agencies who just report non critically.

He isn’t the idiot … we are.

When an authoritarian country does it, everyone goes crazy

When a company does it to make more money and take more control, it’s just business as usual.

You also have to consider barometric pressure and humidity. I find even moderate humidity in winter time combined with low pressure makes it feel miserable, damp and cool … even with a moderate temperature.

20 C in the summer is fine because its moderate humidity, moderate pressure and everything is in equilibrium.

But 20 C in the winter inside a house with a bit high humidity, low pressure makes it feel like the cold is seeping past your skin and into your bones. So the way most people deal with it is to raise the temperature … but it seldom cures the feeling because temperature / humidity / barometric pressure are still not in equilibrium.

The way my family used to deal with it was to turn the house into a literal sauna and raise the temperature to 30 C … I’m Indigenous and this was normal life for me but my wife is non-Indigenous and she gets upset with me if it gets too warm in the house at winter time. I remember camping in the winter time with my dad for hunting / trapping trips in the dead of winter. He’d put on a fire and raise the temperature of the tent or hunt camp up to 40 C or more! I remember one night finding a crack in the wall of a hunt cabin to breathe in cool air because it was so freakin hot inside.

Put on more clothes.

As soon as the cold weather starts, I wear long underwear. Yeah, go ahead and call me an old man … but no one ever sees me expect my wife who constantly complains about it being cold in the house. I tell her to put in more clothes but she says she doesn’t want to be an old woman. I keep telling her that I don’t care … as long as you’re warm.

And it always confuses me when people make fun of others wearing long underway … unless someone tells you, you don’t notice.

I’ve been outside in minus 30 degree weather and people around me shivering and asking me how I can stand the cold. I tell them I’m wearing long underwear and they laugh at me.

And the thing is … you can’t tell if someone is wearing long underwear … it’s completely unnoticeable.

I had a dream the other night of being on top of a high rise building … I looked at the sunset only to realize that a large wall of water was approaching ready to flood the city I was in … then I woke up.

The strangest part was that this would have normally scared me … but that in the dream, "I felt like ‘meh’ so the world’s going to end - great … I felt like I didn’t care that things were ending. "

Sometimes I just respond with … SPEAK LOUDER INTO THE HORN SON!!!

Beautiful summary of a complex thought … I’ll have to keep this for future reference … thanks

Sexuality or sexual identity isn’t the problem … being afraid is.

Paradox of Tolerance
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.

If we all just idly sit by and let assholes be assholes, all we’re ever going to end up with is to be surrounded by assholes. Not only should we stand up and say something or show our displeasure or disagreement with these idiots … common people should stop voting these morons into positions of power.

These idiots don’t get into power because they have any kind of charisma or power over people … they get into power because most people idly stand by and just watch them as they take control of power knowing that no one or not enough people will stop them.

Usually, its from the freeze/melt cycle forming giant blocks of ice somewhere on the road … then the plow pushing a giant chunk right onto your driveway. Best time for this is usually at the end of winter when it’s constantly thawing then refreezing at night.

Somewhere randomly within those deposits is a large boulder of solid ice that is too hard to break, too heavy to move, yet somehow occupies the middle of the snowpile.
