This is pretty much what I do with every “upper level” comment I write. It’s almost never directed at OP, it’s meant for anyone reading it.

“They’re not rocks Marie!!”

…ok, maybe some of them are, but they’re really cool!

I’d like to think I’d find meaning elsewhere, and maybe that’s true, but I’m skeptical. I’m almost certainly just kidding myself when I think that I would. I’d just sit at home smoking weed and watching YouTube videos.

But if that’s what you enjoyed then that is what you’d do and it would make you happy. If it didn’t make you happy you wouldn’t do it. So maybe that’s how your life after work would start, but if you became restless and stopped enjoying it you have your background in contracting and you’d probably take on some more enjoyable creative aspect of that role.

In the end your life doesn’t only have meaning if it’s defined by a job title, it’s defined by how you live it. It doesn’t even need to have “meaning” outside of your own enjoyment of life.

No one said you’re not allowed to ask questions…

As for the “leftist” part, this is Lemmy, and spending enough time here you learn that liberal has a very different meaning to some people so I was just covering my bases.

Because being a liberal (not the leftist definition of liberal) doesn’t mean you have no brain.

I’m assuming by your question that you’re implying it’s true, which funny enough gives some credence to the first part of the quote. Unless of course you’re a leftist, at that point we’re just quibbling over terminology.

A quote tossed at me by a MAGA friend before Trump won in 2106. I stopped talking to them for a year or so because I didn’t want to say something that would actually end our friendship.

It’s such a fucking stupid, insulting quote.

Time gates. Gacha games are rife with them…

Want a piece of equipment for your character? Well spend daily currency to get one that regenerates over a day. Oops rng God hates you and you got +Def for a character that wants +Atk, better luck tomorrow/next week… Oops it’s still not your week +Hp this time.

"Aliens With Shutguns”

So thaaaaats what is in area 51… This whole time it was aliens with shotguns threatening web developers in order to keep the Internet running.

“Human! Asafum is attempting to connect to the human butt website, make it happen!”

It makes coating a pan or bowl easier so I don’t end up using too much and I use it when I make seasoned chicken! :)

Well that certainly sounds like a good reason for it to cause issues lol good to know

Thats not good to hear lol hopefully mine holds out!

I’ve had it for almost a year now, but I’ve only used vegetable oil, only fill it half way, and I depressurize it when I’m done. Not sure if there is much of a difference between the two oils or if I just got lucky.

An oil sprayer. I was looking for gift ideas and came across a “misto” brand oil sprayer and now I use it all the time! No more spray cans of oil and God knows what else, you just fill it half way with whatever oil you want (except coconut oil for some reason) and you pump it to pressurize the oil so you can spray whatever you want.

“The beginning was kind of interesting, but man he got turned down a lot. The middle to end was really boring though. Who films 1 1/2 hours of a single guy going to work then coming home and sitting at a computer?”

I rarely eat breakfast, but if I feel like getting a treat on my morning break at work there’s nothing better than a toasted everything bagel with sliced onion, tomato, and cream cheese… Well, lox could make it better, but I’m not getting a $15 bagel lol

It’s sooooo damn goooood…

Amethyst, citrine and tigers eye are all Quartz they just have various impurities and structural differences that create the differences in color/appearance. Some can even be irritated or heated to change their color.

The Orion nebula can be seen with binoculars depending on the lighting and the famous horse head nebula is actually located very close to it in the sky (visually from our perspective, not physically)

Depends on the site, but since they’re all swipe swipe swipe tinder clones now I’d have to guess they were quick swiping people they found attractive. The algorithm happened to show you to them since you reached out, but they either weren’t in the mood to actually engage in that moment or they found some other reason to not move forward after matching.

If poopspiderman is commenting on a post about piss I guess I should trust the experts and take their advice.

People who don’t like math usually learn and reproduce the subject by memorizing formulas and using them as tools to solve problems where as people who enjoy mathematics typically seek to understand why those formulas work and often rederive them.

Literally why I hate math. There was no explanation in highschool, it was just here’s a formula bv+yq-72(7ph+u/65) use it when you see pineapples.

…how the fuck am I supposed to just remember that? I need to understand how something works or my brain simply will not retain it. The response I always got was “proofs are too complex, you’ll learn that in college.” …ok but that doesn’t help my D+ ass now and just made me think I’m terrible at math, completely avoiding anything science related even though I loved pretty much most fields of science.

It’s literally always projection from them

Face slapping, choking, any kind of violent nonsense. I hate it so much…

And when the people won’t shut the fuck up for two minutes…
