Someone just discovered the Saddam Hussein meme and decided to flood lemmy with as many as they could repost

You forgot fetishists

I’ve had several jobs since then and met a few lifelong friends but the point is none of that matters when you’re on the clock. Don’t get involved in the drama and don’t date your coworkers (unless you work in hospitality, I guess)

After the resulting shit from being friends with my coworkers at my first “real” job, I avoid work socialization as much as possible. I’ve been with my currently company for 3 years and have only given my number to 3 people…two of which just wanted pictures of my dog since I stopped using Instagram.

Nobody knows me that well and I like it that way. Nobody asks me to fix their computer, nobody shares the latest gossip. If they try, I say “oh wow” and then look back at my screen

Oh I actually just learned a cool trick for this.

If there’s ever a crowd of innocent people you want to mow down, you can just say they’re Hamas. You don’t even have to say it beforehand, you can declare it after the fact (if you get caught)

So far it’s worked 100% of the time I’ve seen it used so it’s seemingly pretty foolproof

My nephew got one of those smart watches for kids. There’s no real games, the camera sucks, and he can only contact and be contacted by approved numbers but it’s nice to have.

I like getting his goofy texts, too

I did the same test after seeing the comment! Hands are weird!

Hold up a flat object like that, it does look weird but hands can be weird. I imitated it pretty easily with a book when I saw your comment

Her fingers aren’t weird

Point to the tariff that makes sense?

I kind of like that it’s a kinda ragged duck in a pretty pond

Right, because you know going in that you’re interested. Neither of you provided a description to let OP know if they’re even interested before they commit 8 minutes to a video that may or may not answer the question

It’s not a huge deal or anything, your “not to be rude” line just made me laugh. I was at work and definitely could not afford the time

Imagine asking a question and someone handing you 12 page essay and telling you to read it

That’s what replying with a link to an 8-minute video is like lol

I rolled my eyes at your optimism that such a material would exist but I took it all back by the end. Despite it being incredibly niche and unrealistic, that is by far the most clever suggestion in the thread!

Your premise is wrong but you should watch Bojack Horseman and pay attention to Diane’s arc, specifically the episode Good Damage

Yes, this is exactly the point I was making.

Parents generally put thought into their gifts to their kids. This is saying “I’ve been thinking about you masturbating. I’ve been thinking about how to help you reach climax”

It’s not weird to make them aware of it or even suggest it. It’s weird to buy them one - especially as a birthday gift.

“Dad and I thought long and hard about what to get you and we choose this masturbation tool because we thought about you masturbating”

No, it’s definitely abnormal because it’s weird for a parent to help their offspring masturbate.

What about a father buying his daughter a vibrator for her 18th birthday?

Is the only thing to believe in a higher power?

I haven’t seen it in years but I still listen to Strings That Tie To You regularly
