A note saying the line cook prepared your burger with one of the pickle slices in his ass.

Are you a parent? My condolences.

God, I hope not.

Shit. I’ve been conned.

I did it. Elvis paid me to.

I make gaming terrain out of cardboard and other household junk! …not very successfully. But every attempt is better than the last.

Sounds reasonable to me.

I started buying my own beer at 15. I had a streak of grey in my hair, which helped.

That was… long enough ago that photo ID wasn’t an issue.

You’re not a good person, but I kind of respect you.

Closed.

Your average closet monster is restricted by the size of the closet. Can you imagine what size closet monster could lurk in an ensuite?

I’ve worked with two people who were homeschooled. Both were smart, but well behind in their social development. And just very odd, off-putting people. When one of them wanted your attention, he’d just stand there silently waiting for you to notice him. Sometimes you’d turn around and there he was. The other proudly announced in a staff meeting that he was going to appear in a porn movie.

Someone like RFK would be given the job of co-ordinating it.

My problems. It’s not that I’m the strong, stoic type - because I’m not. But talking about them makes me feel sad all over again.

You would have loved computing in 1980.

We need to standardise English, and we need to accept the US won in spelling.

You mean the US showed up to a fight no-one wanted, handed around medals and went home, while everyone else was still wondering what the loud tourists were shouting about.

But, the receiver can pay $80,000 -100,000+ just for the organ.

Not the default situation, worldwide.

Economist Carlo Cipolla groups people into four categories - Intelligent, the people can benefit themselves while producing benefits for others. Helpless, who can benefit others, but cannot benefit themselves. Bandits, who can only benefit themselves by destroying benefit for others. And finally the Stupid, who can only destroy benefits for others but cannot benefit themselves.

He believes that the Stupid are genuinely dangerous because their chaos is unpredictable (they have no realistic plans) and other types will always underestimate how much destruction they’re capable of generating (because they persist in thinking the Stupid operate from reason).

I’d hate to see what all the dick pills in Elon Musk’s bloodstream would do to a field of corn.

I know why it happens. I just think it sucks that it does.

Imagine coming to Lemmy and being told you picked the wrong gender distro.
