yea, i do a lot of dumb shit with money. gonna blame my parents for passing financial dumbness onto me

sometimes i think that. but i can just look at the news on any given day and feel like i’m further to the right on the sanity bell curve

edit: lemmy helps too

don’t look at that before, during, or after eating thanksgiving

yep. i took out a loan early in the year to build my new pc, knowing this ai shit along with the tariffs was going to make prices bonkers af, and i needed an upgrade anyway. 8% interest on a couple grand personal loan is better than paying 4x the price in cash

gotta address the oligarch technofascist problem first. kind of hard to force companies to break up when the companies owns the people who make the laws

pretend that he is in sync

no need. M$ and pretty much every other big tech behemoth has been forcing unwanted bullshit on the customers for decades, and guess what–people still buy their shit

hilarious they chose this dumb twat as a foil to give voice to maga women who don’t care for pedophiles.

obligatory

they use their AI and data harvesting from myriad security camera footage/social media posts to attach every face at every protest to a name and physical address

can’t do that if you’re wearing a mask and left your phone at home

that’s great. again: do what you want, but don’t think you’re closing this tab having spread the idea that voting 3rd party isn’t dumb, futile, and just plain morally wrong

and yet you’re already saying no to whomever the DNC picks to replace a literal fascist rapist convicted felon con-man…

i’m skeptical, but it doesn’t matter. my point stands. there are TWO possible outcomes, like it or not, and 3rd party is NOT one of them

did you vote for harris?

LOL it hasn’t even been a year and the “iM vOtInG fOr JiLL sTeIn” morons are back in full force as if nothing even happened

do what you want comrade. but don’t expect to not get shat on and ridiculed for your wrong decision

“wHy ArEnT pEOpLe HaViNg MoRe KiDs?!!??”

“ok, i had a bunch of kids. can i get some help feeding, clothing, educating them, and keeping them safe from school shootings?”

“LOL go fuck yourself you shouldn’t have had kids if you can’t afford it and don’t have guns”

genuine question: when someone says “i eat healthy,” do you always inject your own meaning of “i don’t use drugs or smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol or do anything else ‘unhealthy’” ?

in other words, to you “i eat healthy” = “i don’t do anything unhealthy”?

because that’s what you just did

Being totally wrecked in your 40s or even earlier is not good.

i concur: in my 40s, totally wrecked. i still consider myself extremely lucky. no ragrets

i tried monjaro and garuda, seem to have had the best luck so far with pop_os out of the box. running an AMD ryzen 7 9800x3d and RTX 5070-- other distros apparently hated these things

you will never quantify an inherently subjective (qualitative) experience

you goober.

you will never quantify an inherently subjective (qualitative) experience. the fact that you’re trying to, and then calling me “goober” is quite enough for me to say: best of luck, tiger

lol i love how the abstract cites a paper from 1942

look: if you’re disgusted by genitals, i’m sorry to hear that, and i’m not judging you.

but don’t sit there and try to tell me everyone, or even “most people” feels that way.

i can’t speak for goofy looking dicks, but vulvas are extremely attractive; i dunno wtf you, or your 1942 paper referencing “study” are talking about.

again–i’m not judging. but i suggest you post to asklemmy (or literally any other forum), and ask: “are female genitalia no fun to look at/unattractive/weird/whatever tf else” and consider that maybe whatever problem you have with vaginas might not be a baked in instinctual thing that everyone has
