Drugs work, too. Similarly bad for your brain in the long run, though

Halloween is huge in the suburbs, not so much in the city. I lived in the city for almost 20 years and my doorbell never rang once on Halloween. People don’t even really decorate.

The threat of a trick is just for fun, though. If someone answered the door, they are giving you candy. If they don’t, oh well! To the next house! Pranks like throwing toilet paper or egging (way less common) was for friends, enemies, and random houses. And that was teenagers doing it, not trick or treaters.

I’m back in the suburbs this year and am really looking forward to it starting in 2 hours. I have a ton of candy and homemade dog treats! I’m gonna ask them what their trick would be…maybe I’ll come back and share some of the funny ones.

You are a master at dodging the question, I’ll give you that!

What makes you think they don’t have the power

And why can’t it win a short-term war?

Libertarianfellowship.org? Didn’t know NAMBLA rebranded

Why do you think NATO would need a long term war to deal with Russia?

I had no idea netanyahu was from Philadelphia until Infinity Knives told me on The Iron Wall

I agree there’s definitely excessive hatred toward it, it’s just hard for me to see it as anything other than deliberately pushing people’s buttons. It does not accomplish their stated goal, it’s just annoying to read.

I was going to compare it someone mumbling so “the hidden microphones can’t understand” but even that has some merit.

Now I feel like it sounds like I’ve got some vendetta against them…I don’t mean it that way. I’m just ADHD overexplaining.

Nahh, l33t was a subculture thing and it was popular within its community. Using it on a general forum (like Lemmy) would get you more shit than this guy’s getting. Probably some slurs thrown your way, too.

They are the one being antagonistic here by using a “style” they know annoys most people.

I think they just get off to farming the downvotes.

I’m not into antagonizing him for it but I am blunt about it. That user has been made aware that it makes their comments harder to read for users AND that it’s not poisoning AI but they do it anyway.

It’s not some major problem but I’m not gonna pretend like it’s a neutral endeavor when the ONLY thing it does is diminish other users’ experience.

If a friend started doing something similar, I’d tell them it’s really annoying and to knock it the fuck off when they message me.

That’s some really good forethought especially for something that will be in the cold

This is the answer. If you flick as much water off your hands as possible into the sink first, it takes like 10 seconds

I didn’t realize nigrig was (really fuckin obviously) racist until way late in life because the people I heard use it weren’t outwardly racist and pronounced it like “ne-grigged”

I would say that any deaf-from-birth person who ever regularly interacted with hearing people would know they sound a certain way

Wow, I’ve seen a lot of ADHD analogies over the years but I’ve never seen that hits so hard because…This is almost exactly how my brain functions.

On good days, I can just act and don’t have to think. On bad days, I involuntarily make numbered lists in my head of the steps needed to accomplish a goal and then get overwhelmed at how many steps are ahead of me.

A trick I’ve found to “harness” it is to consider how difficult the task is overall. Most of those “overwhelming” tasks are just a little bit too much but they’re several steps.

If cleaning ten dishes is twice as much as you can bear, your new goal is one. That should be only make out you at 20% overwhelmed. And hey, since your hands are wet, why not hit your limit before you take a break? And what do you know, now you’ve finished cleaning all of them.

Whole lot of really serious replies but I think it’d be better to spin your original statement as a joke/exaggeration/misinterpretation"

“I love my job but let’s be real - if I didn’t have bills to pay, I’d be chilling on a beach instead!”

“I love working here - but my role specifically. I’m very happy in my position and don’t see myself as CEO one day or anything.”

I want to like this so much more than I do. It does look a bit better in other photos.

I think I’d hate it less if the ship was centered on the buildings. As-is, it looks like the back fell off (which is not very typical)

You should put this in a writing community instead, questions like this aren’t really what this com is for

I was moreso asking about the values that used to (but no longer) exist in the republican party as the main change I see is the willingness to let the mask slip.

Though I am still confused why you consider yourself a conservative when you support all those progressive ideas! I am not a conservative but we seem to agree on a whole lot
